Cool home just off London Rd

DavidRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Our stay was wonderful! The home was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and equipped with everything we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been better for the Silver Stick hockey tournament in Sarnia. A special shoutout to Noeleen, who was so helpful and responded quickly to our emails with any questions we had. Her attentiveness made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area!

Downtown Frankenmuth Getaway

Rachel ElizabethRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was a great stay and we’d definitely stay here again when visiting Frankenmuth. If I could give cleanliness a 4.9 star, then I would have. The only thing was hair in the bedding in multiple rooms, which I’m guessing was accidental from the cleaners since the rooms were otherwise spotless and the beds impeccably made. It was so wonderful to have an actual house to relax in after a long day at the water parks and to have full control over making our own food. We were also able to spend time together, rather than being in separate hotel rooms and having to cram into one room if we want to chat or let the kids play together.

The Summer House at 319 Chamberlain

LeifRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Katie's place is just lovely. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen super well equipped. It's a real campus with the house, an apartment and a wonderful summer camp inspired compound in the back with a bunkhouse and a fire pit. It would be a great place for a big family reunion in the summer. I had a lovely visit!

Lake Luna Metamora

KatelynnRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We stayed at Aarons place while visiting Detroit, frankmuth and Lansing as it was a good center point. it's off a dirt/gravel road, back in a stand of pines. it's lovely and quiet back where the cabin sits and it was snowing when we arrived. The beds were nice, the kitchen had everything we needed, and overall it was pretty clean. bring your own cast iron pans though because scratched up nonstick is all that's available, if that's your thing. there's no wifi. we were able to hotspot to the TV but verizons reception was iffy so there was a lot of buffering. also there is only one bedroom with a door and it's downstairs. the upstairs loft with three beds is completely open to the downstairs so any noise/lights going on from downstairs can be heard upstairs. it wasn't a huge deal but my kids did wake up earlier than usual due to the sun/me making breakfast. overall it met our expectations and the property certainly makes it worth it.

SandyCabins Duplex Beach House - Lake Side Cabin

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Great cozy cabin! We came up during the off season so it was very quiet and peaceful. The place is as described and as shown in pictures. Just a minutes walk across the sand to the water, beautiful view! Paul was very welcoming and accommodating. We booked last minute on a snow storm weekend and Paul made sure the driveway was plowed, which we really appreciated. Considering it was the off season and snowy weekend there wasn’t a ton of things open, but we loved that the cabin was stocked with games. We found and really liked Brew Moon Cafe in Caseville and The Farm restaurant in Port Austin. Both opposite directions from each other but within a 15 min drive from the cabin.

Secluded Modern Rustic Cabin, near private beach!

VanceRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The cabin was thoughtfully designed to accommodate up to six guests. Amenities such as complimentary wine and coffee added to the warmth. The tv offered a wide variety of viewing. Easy walking through the beautiful neighborhood was inviting. The town which provided interesting shopping venues and restaurants was a short drive. All in all, this was a great stay and we hope to return.

The photos don’t really do this beautiful place any justice. You have to rent this place, it’s absolutely beautiful place with the large pond out back. It’s very serene and peaceful, but not far from local restaurants and shopping in Frankenmuth. We will be renting again in the future!!!

We stayed here with our wedding party for our wedding weekend. There was ample space for everyone to stay, plenty of bathrooms with great shampoo/conditioner. The bride and bridesmaids got ready at this house before the event and there was plenty of room for two makeup artists and a hair stylist without feeling crowded at all. Bonus is that it was super close to our venue! Overall the house is beautiful, the service was great and we would highly recommend staying here to anyone!

Your guide to Port Austin

All About Port Austin

Known as the Tip of Michigan’s Thumb, Port Austin is a popular vacation destination along the warm waters of Lake Huron’s Saginaw Bay. This resort village combines historic buildings, lighthouses, boutiques, and rolling farmland. Just around the headland in vast Lake Huron, you’ll see the famous Turnip Rock formation, where kayakers, sailors, and swimmers come to follow a scenic water trail from the shore and around the famous landmark. Bird Creek Park is surrounded by water on three sides and has a scenic boardwalk and sandy beach for leisurely sunny afternoons.

The region’s majestic natural landscape is reflected in the work of local artists at multiple galleries, and the Port Austin History Center shines a light on the town’s farming heritage with a display of tools and artifacts from former residents. You can sample locally grown produce at the weekly farmers’ market downtown.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Port Austin

A good time to book Port Austin vacation rentals is between May and mid-September, when the weather in Michigan is warm and sunny, providing ideal swimming temperatures. This is a popular time of year for sailing on Lake Huron. If you visit around Labor Day weekend, you’ll find art shows showcasing photography and oil paintings alongside glasswork, jewelry, and pottery. In late summer, the town of Kinde, just 10 minutes inland, hosts its annual Polka Festival, a four-day celebration of Polish heritage including traditional dishes, music, and dancing.

Port Austin is a sight to behold in the winter, sitting under sparkling blankets of ice and snow between December and March. You’ll find breathtaking ice formations on and around the frozen lake. This season also offers opportunities for ice fishing and cross-country skiing.


Top things to do in Port Austin

Turnip Rock

The journey to Turnip Rock is a tranquil kayak trip with rugged rock formations and impressive views across Lake Huron. Depending on weather conditions and river flow, kayaking the Pointe aux Barques trail can be a serene experience or a more challenging adventure. The shallow waters provide a clear look at the waterbed and its variety of marine life — you might spot brown trout or steelhead.

Thumb Area Bottomland Preserve

The waters of Lower Lake Huron span more than 250 square miles and are home to more than 20 shipwrecks, which divers come from far and wide to explore. You could even make your own discovery, as the visibility here is excellent, allowing you to see as far as 50 feet below the surface.

Bird Creek Park

Right on the coast of Lake Huron, just outside of Port Austin’s downtown area, Bird Creek Park is a seven-acre park with a sandy beach. Here you’ll find a wooden boardwalk that stretches along the coastline, a large pavilion, a sheltered picnic area, and volleyball and basketball courts. There is also a playground and splash park for children. This is the perfect place to begin a kayaking trip to Turnip Rock or along the Broken Rocks kayak trail, which passes by interesting rock formations and sea caves — although you’ll have to bring your own kayak, as rentals are not available in the park.
