Great location and host

Rented this property for a hunting trip with my two sons. Its a good size for 3-5 ppl. 10 ppl could 'sleep' in this unit but it's too small for that many ppl all day. No washer or dryer, no dishwasher, but that was expected. Clean house. very close to downtown Port Austin. Easy access.

Visiting for family wedding.

We were visiting Port Austin, MI from Hermitage, PA for a family wedding at Bird Creek Farms. The BNB was perfect for our little family of 5. The host, Mary, was extremely kind and easy to communicate with. Should we return to Port Austin, we will be sure to stay here again!

WEDDING WEEKEND

Mary took us in after our scheduled accommodations cancelled and was very helpful, letting us arrive a bit early to get dressed for our afternoon wedding. The cottage is adorable and very close to the beach and downtown Port Austin. Very well stocked. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms for the family, very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Austin vacation

I have to say Mary is a very nice property host. She answered our questions to be sure we felt the house would meet our needs. I rated it a 3. When we arrived the house was open and i was concerned that i had the wrong address and that someone was there. Upon further inspection we decided to enter. I think there needs to be more caution taken in regards to this. It is a safety concern given the world today. When putting our son to bed we were shocked that the beds were not made as if someone was sleeping in them. I made the beds. we noticed no AC as well. Mary message me, and asked if we could leave the house the following day to have it repaired for a discount. We agreed and we received a small discount of 100.00. The house isn't ideal for someone in a wheelchair. If you're able to walk you can manage. The space is tight and not easy to maneuver. My husband got bitten really bad while sleeping in more than one bed. All over his legs. He is allergic and we ended our stay a day early. The dates posted are not accurate. Our stay was Thursday august 14th to the 18th. We left on the 17th. Anyway that was our experience. there.

Perfect for large group, great location!

We had a very nice 4 night stay at Mary's place. We loved being able to see the water from the home and being close enough to walk to swim at the beach. The pictures show the cottage perfectly. It was great having 4 bedrooms for our family of 10, The kitchen was well stocked. We all agreed we would be very happy to return.

Great place for a long weekend in Port Austin

We had a great stay. The house is close to Bird Creek Park and very walkable to downtown Port Austin. We loved all the extras in the cottage - DVDs, CDs, board games, and plenty of kitchenware to make meals. The owners are very gracious. Would stay again next time we are in the Thumb.

Great Location!

This house was perfect for our stay with our 3 kids. With 4 bedrooms and 2 baths everyone had their own space. The location was great because you can walk to town and the beach or across the street to catch the sunset. This was probably the most well-stocked place I have ever stayed. Had everything we needed to cook, grill and even store the leftovers. If we visit the area in the future I would definitely stay here again.
