Riverview Cottage - Just steps from the AuSable!

AngieRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We really enjoyed our stay at Bo’s place. It was exactly what we were looking for. Matched the description too. It was such a cute, clean and comfy home away from home. We look forward to booking another weekend getaway there. We love to fish and it was so nice having just a few minute drive to get on the AuSable river. The sunrise in the morning…. Right off our balcony, was breathtaking! Thanks Bo for being such a great host and sharing your little piece of heaven with us!!

Modern 3,000sq ft+ Beachfront Home in Pt Sanilac

IreneRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Stayed here with three girlfriends for a weekend and loved Shay's place! The information that Shay provided was clear and she was very responsive. The house is beautiful - lovely design and decoration, well stocked kitchen and comfortable areas to lounge and relax. The location right on the water was so pretty. If I wanted to host a family gathering, I would definitely want to come back here. Well worth the money and highly recommended.

Gorgeous 3 Bedroom Lakefront Home-near Frankenmuth

TiffanyRating, 5 stars6 days ago
This place is beautiful, has all of the amenities, the lake is gorgeous and overall this home has everything you could ever want. Fresh baked cookies, a hand written note, anything you could need in the kitchen, endless games. Caught huge bass in the lake! Overall this place is wonderful and I’d highly recommend. My family and I enjoyed every moment there. Due to no fault of the host, but something I’m surprised isn’t mentioned more is the neighbors. There are signs everywhere that make you feel uncomfortable as they are very unhappy about the airbnb being next door. It felt intentional of them standing close to the property lines and watching us but overall it didn’t interfere with our good time. It is a little uncomfortable but nothing could have stopped us from enjoying this beautiful home.

The Lodge

JeffRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We had a wonderful stay at a stunningly beautiful cottage. It is very spacious and open and the rich wood walls and floors gave us a very cozy and comfortable feel. We loved the view of the lake. It was my first week of retirement and they surprised us with retirement signs outside and decorations inside the cottage along with a card, and candy gifts! The cottage is stocked with everything you would ever need for an enjoyable stay. Denise and Roger were wonderful hosts and we were treated with the finest hospitality anyone could hope for. We are definitely returning again this year and we highly recommend this beautiful cottage and the hospitality that comes along with it!

My friends and I had a great weekend at Samantha's place! I got repeated compliments on picking such a fantastic place. The space is beautiful and well-appointed. The kitchen was perfect for our pre-race spaghetti dinner and the sleeping spaces let us get some much needed shut-eye before and after our race. 10/10, would stay here again!

Cabin on Lake Huron with beautiful views & Dock

IvanRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Terrific stay. The house is beautiful with stunning views of the lake. Good restaurants within walking distance and a Starbucks opposite. While the back of the house is private, on the lake with great views, the house opens onto the main road, which has advantages (such as Starbucks). The host, Elizabeth, is wonderful friendly, responsive and accommodating. A 5 star experience.

Secluded Modern Rustic Cabin, near private beach!

VanceRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The cabin was thoughtfully designed to accommodate up to six guests. Amenities such as complimentary wine and coffee added to the warmth. The tv offered a wide variety of viewing. Easy walking through the beautiful neighborhood was inviting. The town which provided interesting shopping venues and restaurants was a short drive. All in all, this was a great stay and we hope to return.

Wonderful location and gorgeous view right on the beautiful Lake Huron! Loved being able to walk to the restaurants in its proximity. Thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet and hearing the waves of the lake hitting the shore. The front all seasons porch was our favorite room :). The house had everything we needed for our stay we just needed ourselves and what foods we wanted to bring. Highly recommend!!! MiCasa was super responsive when reaching out with questions and concerns. Thank you

Relax, You're Huron Lake Time

NickRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Pamela's place was great! The weather wasn't great during our short stay so we didn't get to see the awesome sunset/sunrise but the Pamela's homey place made up for the weather and given that a lot of the shops and restaurants were closed for the season. Place was clean and everything was as listed. Pamela was quick to respond when we had questions. Would be more than happy to stay here again if we had the opportunity to come back to the thumb!

Lake View Log Cabin Getaway in the Woods

ErinRating, 5 stars11 months ago
Our family had the most wonderful time. This place exceeded expectations. As other reviewers have mentioned this place is very well stocked. We rode bikes to the ice cream shop, swam at the nearby beach (most days we had it to ourselves), grilled, had a campfire, enjoyed the lovely view from the porch and drove into town to go out to eat. The hosts were very welcoming and even provided a cute little frog table and chair for our little one. We would love to book again some time. Sadly, it does not come with the cute pictured pug. :)

Your guide to Port Austin

All About Port Austin

Known as the Tip of Michigan’s Thumb, Port Austin is a popular vacation destination along the warm waters of Lake Huron’s Saginaw Bay. This resort village combines historic buildings, lighthouses, boutiques, and rolling farmland. Just around the headland in vast Lake Huron, you’ll see the famous Turnip Rock formation, where kayakers, sailors, and swimmers come to follow a scenic water trail from the shore and around the famous landmark. Bird Creek Park is surrounded by water on three sides and has a scenic boardwalk and sandy beach for leisurely sunny afternoons.

The region’s majestic natural landscape is reflected in the work of local artists at multiple galleries, and the Port Austin History Center shines a light on the town’s farming heritage with a display of tools and artifacts from former residents. You can sample locally grown produce at the weekly farmers’ market downtown.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Port Austin

A good time to book Port Austin vacation rentals is between May and mid-September, when the weather in Michigan is warm and sunny, providing ideal swimming temperatures. This is a popular time of year for sailing on Lake Huron. If you visit around Labor Day weekend, you’ll find art shows showcasing photography and oil paintings alongside glasswork, jewelry, and pottery. In late summer, the town of Kinde, just 10 minutes inland, hosts its annual Polka Festival, a four-day celebration of Polish heritage including traditional dishes, music, and dancing.

Port Austin is a sight to behold in the winter, sitting under sparkling blankets of ice and snow between December and March. You’ll find breathtaking ice formations on and around the frozen lake. This season also offers opportunities for ice fishing and cross-country skiing.


Top things to do in Port Austin

Turnip Rock

The journey to Turnip Rock is a tranquil kayak trip with rugged rock formations and impressive views across Lake Huron. Depending on weather conditions and river flow, kayaking the Pointe aux Barques trail can be a serene experience or a more challenging adventure. The shallow waters provide a clear look at the waterbed and its variety of marine life — you might spot brown trout or steelhead.

Thumb Area Bottomland Preserve

The waters of Lower Lake Huron span more than 250 square miles and are home to more than 20 shipwrecks, which divers come from far and wide to explore. You could even make your own discovery, as the visibility here is excellent, allowing you to see as far as 50 feet below the surface.

Bird Creek Park

Right on the coast of Lake Huron, just outside of Port Austin’s downtown area, Bird Creek Park is a seven-acre park with a sandy beach. Here you’ll find a wooden boardwalk that stretches along the coastline, a large pavilion, a sheltered picnic area, and volleyball and basketball courts. There is also a playground and splash park for children. This is the perfect place to begin a kayaking trip to Turnip Rock or along the Broken Rocks kayak trail, which passes by interesting rock formations and sea caves — although you’ll have to bring your own kayak, as rentals are not available in the park.
