This house is very clean and has wonderful amenities. Ryan the host was very attentive and check in and out was extremely easy. The house is great for a large group with so much room both indoors and outdoors. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

Plenty of room for our multigenerational family group. Bedrooms were spacious & quiet- we had two babies with us. Perfect location to explore beaches & places to kayak-short drives to each. Port Austin market on Saturday morning was great. Port Crescent Park beach was nice as well as Harbor Beach. Saw all 3 lighthouses in county. Bad Axe only 25 minutes away or Dollar General 5 miles away for incidentals. And the best…ice cream shop 1/2 mile away-can walk or ride bikes! Kid friendly place. Host was exceptional, friendly, & easy to contact & responded back quickly. Would definitely stay again!

Grindstone is spacious and fun!
Family vacation in the Port Austin/Grindstone area for 16 family members. Love the area, the beaches and the house was just perfect. Ryan, the host, is great to work with.

Annual Extended Family Vacation
This is one of the best properties we have stayed at in the 8 years we have been doing this. 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.
