Great place for a long weekend in Port Austin

We had a great stay. The house is close to Bird Creek Park and very walkable to downtown Port Austin. We loved all the extras in the cottage - DVDs, CDs, board games, and plenty of kitchenware to make meals. The owners are very gracious. Would stay again next time we are in the Thumb.
