Cozy cottage

This is the perfect space for a stay in Port Austin. Mary is an excellent host and extremely responsive. She helped us download an app on the TV to watch the Tigers and even helped find my husbands wedding ring/send it back after our stay. Her kindness and responsiveness made for the most comfortable stay, plus the house is stocked with helpful necessities.

2025 Porchfest with friends

We traveled to Port Austin for the 2025 Porchfest with a group of friends and stayed at this rental. We were very close to all the activities, music, town and the beach. Everything was in walking distance.The unit was roomy enough for the 8 of us. There were 4 bedrooms with either full or queen beds. Our bed was comfortable but a few in the group said they kept sinking toward the middle of their bed. We cooked most of our meals at the house, with a low country boil outside on one night. Delicious!! There were also a number of good restaurants and food in the area. I would recommend this as a rental property for friends and family.

Overall a decent stay. Pros: Affordable, very well equipped with kitchenware, beach toys, and towels, as well as papergoods. Great location and walkable to town. The cons: Walls in the back bedrooms are essentially just plywood/paneling. You can hear every breath, snore, conversation, TV through the walls. You can also see through the cracks in the corners where the walls come together. Finally, the bedroom and back bathroom doors are all wood with metal latches and several did not latch/lock and thus would not stay shut which is problematic when trying to change and/or if you like your door shut at night. We ended up propping something against the doors to keep them closed. Just a heads up that the lack of quiet/privacy may be an issue for small children trying to nap and/or those who need quiet to sleep.

Relaxing location.

The home was nice but it could have been cleaner. The edges where the walls hit the floors in the bathrooms needed a good scrubbing. Also the window edges in the sun porch were very dirty. The coffee maker was left dirty and full of grounds. The giant trash can in the kitchen was unnecessarily large and a little stinky. The views of the lake were awesome though.

A small (5 people) 3 generation girl’s getaway to Port Austin and this was the perfect home. Clean, sweet decor, comfy beds and 2 bathrooms. Loved that we could walk to town! So many nice spaces…porch room for sitting in the morning with coffee, deck for every meal and card games. A lovely, relaxing stay.

Perfect for large group, great location!

We had a very nice 4 night stay at Mary's place. We loved being able to see the water from the home and being close enough to walk to swim at the beach. The pictures show the cottage perfectly. It was great having 4 bedrooms for our family of 10, The kitchen was well stocked. We all agreed we would be very happy to return.
