Hot Tub, pristine beach access, 2-bdrm cottage with AC, WiFi near Port Austin #2

This was a great little get away for me and my little family and pup. Great location and short brisk walk to the water. I feel like the locals werent hapoy with us being there bc the moment i got out of my truck with kiddos and dog the woman that lives in that community fulltime made sure to tell us that she doesnt like dogs around and was very stand offish. Feel like that could of been avoided if she let us get in and settled in and seen that my sweet pup was not a threat at all. Blew it off and said we are respectful of everyone around us and we didnt have any other interactions. It was wonderful other then that. Thank you for a breathe of fresh air:)

Cottage was lovely. Could have used direction for heat….. could not get it to come on. Also suggest having some hooks available in bedrooms and bath to hang up clothing items. Other than that the stay was good.

The pictures in the listing were exactly what we found when we arrived! Clean and tidy. Ready for guests. The cottage shares a cute quiet street with other cottages and it does share a hot tub, BBQ and hose with the cottage next door but this doesnt make any difference. We actually made new friends and thought how nice this could be for a alarger group to be able to rent 2 cottages right next to eachother. Each cottage has thier own fire pit and 2 (maybe more?) parking spots. Trash bin is located at the road - easy peasy.Our 16 yro daughter enjoyed the hammock out front, we enjoyed the well stocked coffee bar in the morning and once we discovered the map to the beach located on the wall...we all enjoyed the easy walk to the beach! It was a HOT weekend so the AC and ceiling fan was much appreciated.Note to future travelers: This cottage has well water. You will be (literally) 6 minutes from downtown Port Austin and there is room for your dog, however it is not a fenced property. It took us less than 15 minutes to walk to Lake Huron and 25 to drive to Caseville. It is a lovely location and we were delighted to have found it!

EXTREMELY clean, perfect location, well appointed, nice “private” beach, pet friendly. There are two reasons for the 4 star (more like a 4.5):One was that there was a smell coming from the shower train. It wasn’t sewage, but was unpleasant. The longer we stayed the better it got but it was always present. We were able to keep the smell contained in the bathroom by closing the bathroom door and leaving the window open.The second thing is that the listing mentions a hot tub, but not that the tub is shared between you and the home next door. When the new neighbors checked my wife and I arrived home before them and jumped in the tub. They came outside to sit by the campfire while we were in the hot tub and we started making small talk. Comments from them made it very clear that they had intended on using the tub that night but we were just the first in it. At this point my wife and I had been in it for a bit and didn’t have a problem letting them have it and exited the tub to go back into the house for the night. The owner said that the shared tub had never been an issue before, but we had an issue the first “shared” night. I don’t know if the solution is to list the tub on only one listing or what, but it should be noted that it’s shared. Super minor things that could make the house perfect: a fan for each bedroom and hooks on the walls since there is nowhere to hang anything. Overall wonderful, we will definitely be back. Thank you for a great stay!
