Great, comfortable, CLEAN and very well equipped vacation cottage in a terrific location close to the beach and ATV trails.
It's immediately obvious when you check in that the host/owners have put a tremendous amount of thought and effort into providing everything you could need for your stay, from TV to towels to teaspoons, everything is here. We prepared meals in the kitchen each day and it has every tool and utensil you could possibly need and mostly everything is new. The house is super comfortable and decorated in a knotty pine motif throughout which provides a cabin feel. We had never been to the Thumb before and it's hard to imagine a better location. The cottage sits at the end of the road in a mostly private setting, covered by towering oaks and pines. Its about a 4 minute walk to the beautiful, private community beach that even on 4th of July weekend was never crowded. Port Austin is about a 15 minute drive and is a charming village. Definitely try the Bird Creek Farm restaurant, it is outstanding, we went twice. Frank's party store is just 5 minutes from the cottage and has groceries, beer, wine, ice. The lake and beaches are gorgeous in this area and there is plenty to do for families with either young children or teens. We would return again without hesitation.
