First Luxury Hotel on Lake Huron in the Tawas Bay - Lake Life Cottages

Lake Huron’s First Luxury Boutique Hotel

Have you ever heard how the Tawas Bay area is considered the Midwest’s “Cape Cod?” Well, I looked into this a couple years ago and even put together an Instagram reel about it. The comparison stems from the Tawas Point peninsula extending into the lake, much like how Cape Cod is a peninsula extending into the sea. In addition to that, there are similarities with having a picturesque Victorian lighthouse, a couple charming waterfront towns, shopping, dining, and waterfront lodging options. Well, when digging into lodging options, what’s always lacked within the Tawas Bay. There wasn’t any higher-end luxury accommodations.

Until now!

In winter 2024, Lake Huron’s first luxury boutique hotel opened. And during its first summer in operation, we vacationed there for a weekend to check it out!

Best Getaway on Lake Huron: Lake Huron Shores Cottage

What is the best getaway on Lake Huron? Hmmm, that’s the thought I asked myself as I sat down at the end of last year to plan out my family’s travel adventures for this year. As I pulled up Google Maps musing over where we should go next, my eyes darted to the northeastern lower peninsula along Lake Huron. This is an area we don’t visit near enough. It’s a bit of a hidden gem for even us!

We ended up booking a charming two bedroom cottage right on Lake Huron with its own private beach through Enjoy Unique Stays. And planning our getaway was a breeze as there are so many scenic and beautiful attractions a short drive away.
