This house is very clean and has wonderful amenities. Ryan the host was very attentive and check in and out was extremely easy. The house is great for a large group with so much room both indoors and outdoors. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.
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 bestâŠice 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!
Unique 1906 Schoolhouse has great space for large group of 14 adults on a golf weekend in the Thumb. We played Verona Hills, Bird creek and Ubly Heights and the house is ideally situated for quick access to those courses. Bedrooms are large and the main floor is enormous and full of character. Great wood moldings throughout the house. House very clean and 3 fire pits. Will return for our tournament next year. Ryan very helpful.
If you're looking for an interesting isolated property close to the beach, this is an awesome venue. Outside was very peaceful and the stars at night are beautiful. Only thing missing was some cleaning stuff like dish sponges and paper towels.
Family vacation in the Port Austin/Grindstone area for 16 family members. Love the area, the beaches and the house was just perfect. Ryan, the host, is great to work with.
I usually donât take the time to submit a review, but our stay at this house and the communication with the owner was beyond outstanding! Location was so great, not one negative to report! Loved it! Will be returning next year with the family!
First let me begin by sharing: This was my first time renting a property through VRBO. It was my first time renting from anything other than a hotel or motel. It was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Communication. prior to our arrival was prompt, thorough, and excellent. The property itself was WONDERFUL! Pictures and written descriptions cannot possibly completely describe what awaits you. It is so SPACIOUS! Bedrooms, play rooms are all incredibly large and the main floor is like a ballroom. We spent a lot of our time together on the deck or in the garage just enjoying the ambiance and the quiet. The owner is very friendly and super service minded. I accidentally butt dialed him on our first evening in the property as I was putting contact information into my phone. Within minutes he texted to find out if we needed anything. I have to say, Ryan has set the bar as a host pretty high! Departure from the property was simple and easy as well. When I asked if there was anything else we could do, his response was: No. You're on vacation; enjoy yourselves. Truly a most gratifying experience with regard to the property, its owner, and the geographical area that we got to enjoy and explore for a week!
We all had a great time! The space was perfect for 6 couples. Communication with Ryan ,the host, was easy and response was quick. We would definitely stay here again!
This house was a great find. There were 10 of us staying. Everyone has plenty of space for privacy as well as socialization. Our host was extremely kind and responsive. We were able to visit two beaches - Port Austin and Caseville. We enjoyed our stay.
This is one of the best properties we have stayed at in the 8 years we have been doing this. Lots of room for the children to play and for the older youth to do their own thing. One evening we had a kite flying contest with 5 kites in the air at the same time.
Far enough out in the country for good nighttime star gazing but only a short drive to Port Austin which has 2 great swimming beaches for children and other entertainment.
A plus for those worried about well water taste/quality, Ryan trucks in city water which the whole house runs off.
This was a perfect location for our three generations. The house is lovely and well-stocked for a relaxing vacation. The host was more than accommodating! He replaced a malfunctioning air conditioner in the master bedroom with a new unit the same day. We would not hesitate to stay here again!
Had a wonderful time with family here. Very spacious. Owner is very accommodating. Nice yard for outdoor activities. Would definitely recommend this place.
What a cool experience! Ryan and his family did a great job at making us feel welcome. The house was clean and spacious, the area was fun and interesting. We can't wait to come back!
The building itself was more that amazing, Im I would have to say itâs one of the coolest places Iâve ever stayed. The real thing I have to make mention of is the owner, to say he they were extremely accommodating would be an understatement. We had mentioned a couple outside light bulbs were burnt out, and but by the time we returned from picking up dinner they had all been replaced. Each room had it own private bathroom along with all the small appliances one we need in their own room. Thereâs not enough great things to say about this property, if your looking at port Austin DO NOT pass this place up.
Each bedroom has everything you would find at a nice hotel. Want some alone time? Go chill in your room with complete privacy. Different bed times for different members of the group? No problem, you can sleep undisturbed while others burn the midnight candle. My 3 year old just loved running around the building being as noisy as he wanted. My older children (the wife and I, too) played a light night game of laser tag (AWESOME!). We grocery shopped, cooked our meals, used the supplied grill, and ate together in the dining room. We played pool in the game room, had ice cream on the deck... and between our times using the property we enjoyed the beaches and attractions of Port Austin! Loved it!
We canât say enough great things about this place and our Host! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and we canât wait to go back there next year! The Host was so helpful in every way. The house was clean and very spacious. It was a unique experience!
Worked great for our family get together. Sleeps 20. Each bedroom has own bathroom. Large 1st floor gathering area, Large deck, basement was great for entertainment. A for host Ryan.
