July vacation

The house is spacious and well kept. The front porch and backyard are great and full of seating as well. Comfortable beds and the location was perfect and close to town. Towels for showering could use an update and an increase in quantity.

Great place to stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Wayne's home and in Port Austin! The home is clean and spacious, and we enjoyed time out on the deck. Port Austin is a cozy little town. The home is within walking distance of both public beaches, restaurants, and shops -- including the ice cream shop and the donut shop : ). If you don't kayak to Turnip Rock, you can charter a boat to see it. I didn't figure that out until midway through our stay. Our captain was very informative on the history of Port Austin, the lighthouse, Turnip Rock, and the Pointe Aux Barques area. Overall a relaxing vacation in a comfortable home!

About the host

Hosted by Wayne Kretchman

We build our dream home and now wish to share it with a few people. It's filled with hardwood floors in the main areas and carpet in all the bedrooms. A second floor TV room for kids or quite reading time. Lots of Windows & fans in every room keep our place cool during the day. Decks in front and back allow for views abound in beauty.

Why they chose this property

This property is in a paved sub that is walking distance to public access, town and beach, or fishing and swimming. Gentle breese off the water and great view from the front porch overlooking the water. No fast food or traffic jam here.

What makes this property unique

Simple and respectful neighbors with quite and peaceful surroundings. Proud to say we keep it clean. Very quite area in the evenings. Quite time is 10 pm. If you have a fire in the pit - keep in mind that your voices travel vary clearly.
