Summary: Plenty of room for our multigenerational family group. Bedrooms were spacious & quiet- we had two babies with us. Perfect location to explore beaches & places to kayak-short drives to each. Port Austin market on Saturday morning was great. Port Crescent Park beach was nice as well as Harbor Beach. Saw all 3 lighthouses in county. Bad Axe only 25 minutes away or Dollar General 5 miles away for incidentals. And the best…ice cream shop 1/2 mile away-can walk or ride bikes! Kid friendly place. Host was exceptional, friendly, & easy to contact & responded back quickly. Would definitely stay again!
