Cozy cottage with natural fire place!

Located right at the tip of Michigan’s Thumb, Port Austin is one of the rare places where you can catch both sunrise and sunset over the stunning waters of Lake Huron. Known for its natural beauty, this area offers incredible hiking opportunities—including the iconic Turnip Rock—and endless outdoor adventure.

Our cozy, centrally located cottage sits on the peaceful south side of M-25, just minutes from downtown Port Austin and Caseville. Whether you’re looking for a summer escape, a fall color tour, or a snowy winter retreat, this rental is available year-round. Summer is a favorite with its long beach days and warm nights, but autumn brings breathtaking foliage, and winter offers a serene, snow-covered quiet that’s perfect for recharging.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
This smoke-free cottage features books, games, and sledding nearby. Recreational activities include hiking/biking trails nearby, kayaking nearby, and sailing nearby.
Featured amenities include laundry facilities and a water dispenser.

We loved our stay at the Cozy Cottage! The house was clean, the host was friendly, and the beds were so comfortable! The house was within minutes of the state park and a ton of roadside parks. We loved walking on Steel Head trail! And it was only 10 minutes away from town, which has the best farmers market on Saturdays!
