A perfect weekend getaway

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Hey Betty Inn. Jeff was always available for any questions we had. We were actually able to check in early and begin the fun! The location is great for families. We walked to the beach, played games in the yard and enjoyed the fire pit at night. Definitely will return! Thanks so much for hosting our family get together

Perfect cute ans cozy cottage

I booked this for my partner's birthday and we had a great time. The location is great, the cottage was super clean and had lots of amenities. We were able to bring our dog which we're very happy about. The decor and art are wonderful, you can tell they've put a lot of time and effort into the place. We hope to be back again!

Family Christmas Vacation

The large rooms, open concept and fireplace gave the home a very warm and inviting feeling and it had great ambiance. Kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities for cooking big meals and the large kitchen table was great as well for lovely dinners and board game nights! :)

Wonderful Memories made at Hey Betty!

The appearance of this cottage exceeded our expectations and the layout allowed for privacy for me and my family in various areas throughout the cottage. A gorgeous spacious lanai as well as a couple comfortable sitting areas and a nice open concept kitchen. This is a perfect space for re connecting with friends and family. It was a short ride to the Private beach which is beautiful and not at all busy. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a getaway at any time of year.

Excellent! We'll be back!

Wonderful house and grounds, exactly as described. Immaculate and has character. The location is great in a quiet wooded neighbourhood near the Ausable River, Lake Huron and Grand Bend. Jeff was great with checking communication and went above-and-beyond to help us check in early in order to avoid travelling during a blizzard. Overall, a truly wonderful VRBO experience.

The perfect beach home

I went to visit Port Franks with friends and we found this idyllic home near the beach. The decoration was welcoming and in every corner there was an easter egg that showed personality and whimsy. This place is truly a home away from home and even though the weather was not the best this place made the trip worthwhile with all their games, amenities, and features. Callandra, Jeff, and Betty have made a place that you will leave with a smile and will want to remodel your own home to recreate such a delightful environment. Will definitely come back!

Betty Inn 5-stars

I really hate to give an amazing review because then this gem will become too popular and I won't be able to book it again! The VRBO ad does not do it justice. It's a beautiful, clean, bright, inviting space with very thoughtful touches throughout. Highly don't recommend!!!!! lol

Family getaway

What a great property. A surprise around every corner. We had a great time and felt so comfortable from the moment we stepped in the door. One of our favourites was the blanket wall; such a neat idea for a winter stay. Thank you for your hospitality and going the extra mile to make it a memorable vacation.

Every detail thought of!

This rental is wonderful. The owners have seriously thought of everything. The decor is absolutely adorable. The house is clean and nicely laid out. We went in the winter so didn’t fully get to enjoy the lanai and backyard so we decided to return for a week in the summer! The margarita machine is such a cool touch. You will not be disappointed if you rent here! Thanks Jeff and Cassandra! ☺️
