Reserve an East Tawas bayfront hotel stay on Lake Huron
From, room for two$1702 nights · from $90 per personNot included: taxes, meals and park entry.
Our office plans an East Tawas bayfront hotel stay of two nights at a bayfront beach hotel on Tawas Bay of Lake Huron that runs its own front desk. You tell us the month and how many nights, we ask the hotel whether a room is open, and you read one written quote before anything happens.
Asking costs nothing and holds nothing. Only after your written yes do we ask the hotel to set the room aside in your name. You drive up yourself, register at the hotel's desk and settle the bill there, and the traveler pays our office nothing at all: no planning fee and no reservation fee.
Tawas Point and its lighthouse
East Tawas sits on Tawas Bay of Lake Huron, and a sand beach lies in front of the hotel. Close by, Tawas Point State Park follows a curving sand spit, and the white tower in the picture at the top of this page is Tawas Point Lighthouse, standing at the very end of that spit.
In town you have the East Tawas State Dock and its harbor. Inland, Huron National Forest stretches along the Au Sable River, so a quiet bay morning can turn into an afternoon among the trees.

Bayfront beach hotel, parking free
The lodging is a bayfront beach hotel with its own front desk, where you register and pay; the picture beside shows a lodging of this kind. We give its name in your written quote rather than on this website. Parking is free, as the hotel shows it, and that is part of the figure below.
Two bayfront nights in November
Two November nights on Tawas Bay start from $170 for the room for two, or from $90 per person. Behind that sits a working rate of $82 a night for a room for two in November 2026, taken from a public travel website. No mandatory nightly fee is listed there, and free parking is already counted in.
Left outside the $170: Michigan's 6% use tax, whatever room tax Iosco County adds, your fuel and meals, and entry to the state park at Tawas Point. Once your dates are known, the hotel's actual rate takes the place of our $82 working figure. Our pricing page shows how each figure is put together.
Inside this total
- The room for two for 2 nights at the lodging's rate for the month
- Free parking, as the hotel shows it
Left for you to pay on the road
- Michigan's 6% use tax and any county room tax
- Fuel and meals
- State park entry at Tawas Point
- Summer nights, which run more than double
July and August at over twice the rate
May through November is when our office arranges this bayfront stay. December to April leaves the bay and the point in winter, so those months stay off our calendar. Summer nights here run more than double the November rate, which means a July quote lands well above the figure shown on this page.
Every charge listed before your yes
In writing, before any decision, you get the hotel's name, a description of the room and its rate for your chosen nights. Alongside sit the room total, each tax the hotel will charge and its own cancellation rules. From there you can accept in writing, ask for a change, or let the idea go. A room is held only once your written yes reaches us.
About three and a quarter hours by road
Southfield to East Tawas is about 165 road miles, roughly 3 hr 18 min on a computed route with no stops; stops for fuel or coffee stretch that out. As the crow flies, East Tawas lies 123 miles straight north of the office at 44.28 degrees north, still below the 45th parallel.
