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!

One of a kind Schoolhouse Rocks Unique 1906 Schoolhouse has great space for large group of 14 adults on a golf weekend in the Thumb. We played Verona Hills, Bird creek and Ubly Heights and the house is ideally situated for quick access to those courses. Bedrooms are large and the main floor is enormous and full of character. Great wood moldings throughout the house. House very clean and 3 fire pits. Will return for our tournament next year. Ryan very helpful.

No issues, very unique property! If you're looking for an interesting isolated property close to the beach, this is an awesome venue. Outside was very peaceful and the stars at night are beautiful. Only thing missing was some cleaning stuff like dish sponges and paper towels.
