The house was clean and comfortable and there were games and books for the kids to enjoy while we stayed. There were snacks available for us when we arrived and Ron even brought us over some fresh eggs from his chickens. What a wonderful and hospitable host.

Modern Cottage with Beach Access to Lake Huron

JennyRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house had everything we needed and even a few things that I had forgot to pack (shampoo & conditioner)! Our kids were comfortable in the bunk room and the WiFi worked great for their games. Even though the weather was less than great, our family had fun playing games and talking comfortably in the dining room & living room area. The house was very clean & the hosts were friendly and wonderful to communicate with. We met several neighbors who were so nice and welcoming & eager to help answer questions or recommend a place for dinner. I would stay again if in the area, for sure!

Downtown Frankenmuth Getaway

Rachel ElizabethRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was a great stay and we’d definitely stay here again when visiting Frankenmuth. If I could give cleanliness a 4.9 star, then I would have. The only thing was hair in the bedding in multiple rooms, which I’m guessing was accidental from the cleaners since the rooms were otherwise spotless and the beds impeccably made. It was so wonderful to have an actual house to relax in after a long day at the water parks and to have full control over making our own food. We were also able to spend time together, rather than being in separate hotel rooms and having to cram into one room if we want to chat or let the kids play together.

The Summer House at 319 Chamberlain

LeifRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Katie's place is just lovely. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen super well equipped. It's a real campus with the house, an apartment and a wonderful summer camp inspired compound in the back with a bunkhouse and a fire pit. It would be a great place for a big family reunion in the summer. I had a lovely visit!

Cozy One Bedroom Glamping Cabin for Two Adults

ShaneRating, 5 stars6 months ago
What an adorable cabin! Our cabin did not have a bathroom, but the owners had a golf cart that we were able to use to get to and from the bathroom! However, we would’ve been fine without it: it was only a minute walk. But it was still amazing to have. The cabin itself was super cute and very comfortable. There was a heater and fan for us to use and we appreciated it. There was a stream of water which was so beautiful to see especially at this time of year with the leaves. They also supplies fire wood for us which was super nice of them. This was a very nice stay, and we will be back!

SandyCabins Duplex Beach House - Lake Side Cabin

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Great cozy cabin! We came up during the off season so it was very quiet and peaceful. The place is as described and as shown in pictures. Just a minutes walk across the sand to the water, beautiful view! Paul was very welcoming and accommodating. We booked last minute on a snow storm weekend and Paul made sure the driveway was plowed, which we really appreciated. Considering it was the off season and snowy weekend there wasn’t a ton of things open, but we loved that the cabin was stocked with games. We found and really liked Brew Moon Cafe in Caseville and The Farm restaurant in Port Austin. Both opposite directions from each other but within a 15 min drive from the cabin.

Charming cabin with beach access

PatriciaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We so enjoyed our stay at Denise's house! It was very clean and looked exactly like the pictures. The house was cozy and cute and decorated very nicely. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed which was great as we cooked multiple meals in it. We loved that there was a private beach within walking distance. The location was great as well, as it was between Port Austin and Caseville so we could travel to both with ease. The bed might be one of the comfiest beds I've ever slept on. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much Denise.

This was our first Airbnb experience, and it exceeded our expectations! My family and I had a wonderful time at this home. The house was cozy, well-stocked, and truly felt like home. We especially enjoyed sitting outside by the beach, which was such a peaceful and relaxing experience. The house even had extra beach items that made our stay even more enjoyable. We only needed to bring a few extra items since everything we needed was provided.

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.
