Lots of room for the children to play and for the older youth to do their own thing. One evening we had a kite flying contest with 5 kites in the air at the same time. Far enough out in the country for good nighttime star gazing but only a short drive to Port Austin which has 2 great swimming beaches for children and other entertainment. A plus for those worried about well water taste/quality, Ryan trucks in city water which the whole house runs off. ##### William L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel A.

The building itself was more that amazing, Im I would have to say it’s one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed. The real thing I have to make mention of is the owner, to say he they were extremely accommodating would be an understatement. We had mentioned a couple outside light bulbs were burnt out, and but by the time we returned from picking up dinner they had all been replaced. Each room had it own private bathroom along with all the small appliances one we need in their own room. There’s not enough great things to say about this property, if your looking at port Austin DO NOT pass this place up. ##### Daniel A.

Each bedroom has everything you would find at a nice hotel. Want some alone time? Go chill in your room with complete privacy. Different bed times for different members of the group? No problem, you can sleep undisturbed while others burn the midnight candle. My 3 year old just loved running around the building being as noisy as he wanted. My older children (the wife and I, too) played a light night game of laser tag (AWESOME!). We grocery shopped, cooked our meals, used the supplied grill, and ate together in the dining room. We played pool in the game room, had ice cream on the deck... and between our times using the property we enjoyed the beaches and attractions of Port Austin! Loved it! ##### Nathan T.

Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Experience First let me begin by sharing: This was my first time renting a property through VRBO. It was my first time renting from anything other than a hotel or motel. It was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Communication. prior to our arrival was prompt, thorough, and excellent. The property itself was WONDERFUL! Pictures and written descriptions cannot possibly completely describe what awaits you. It is so SPACIOUS! Bedrooms, play rooms are all incredibly large and the main floor is like a ballroom. We spent a lot of our time together on the deck or in the garage just enjoying the ambiance and the quiet. The owner is very friendly and super service minded. I accidentally butt dialed him on our first evening in the property as I was putting contact information into my phone. Within minutes he texted to find out if we needed anything. I have to say, Ryan has set the bar as a host pretty high! Departure from the property was simple and easy as well. When I asked if there was anything else we could do, his response was: No. You're on vacation; enjoy yourselves. Truly a most gratifying experience with regard to the property, its owner, and the geographical area that we got to enjoy and explore for a week! ##### Roger W.
