Winter Adventure Tawas Bay

When the air turns crisp and the shoreline sparkles with frost, Tawas Bay transforms into a peaceful Up North retreat — the perfect destination for your winter getaway. Located along Lake Huron’s famed Sunrise Side, the Tawas area blends small-town charm, natural beauty, and year-round adventure.

Spend your days exploring groomed snowmobile and cross-country ski trails, snowshoeing through quiet forests, or shopping the Hallmark-movie-worthy downtowns of East Tawas and Tawas City. Warm up with a coffee or cocoa at a local café before enjoying dinner at one of our inviting local restaurants. Then unwind in cozy comfort or take in a Lake Huron sunrise that’s every bit as breathtaking in winter as it is in summer.

Whether you prefer a nostalgic “Up North” cabin, a cozy throwback inn, or modern-day luxury on the lake, Tawas Bay offers a place to stay that fits your style. Choose from welcoming local favorites including:

Tawas Inn Resort, Coleman’s Resort, Lake Life Cottages, Tawas Bay Beach Resort, Bay Inn, Paradise Beach Resort, Bambi Motel, Riptide Inn, and Crow’s Nest.

Each property offers its own character — from lakeside luxury to classic roadside comfort — but all share one thing: genuine Northern Michigan hospitality.
