Very clean and the host, Paula, seem to think of everything. She had left a couple of snacks, coffee pods, and even 2 apples. The check-in details were received on the day of check-in and were so easy to understand. We were here for a wedding in Port Huron and this location was perfect for the two of us.

Paula was so responsive—I enjoyed the deck and table to be able to enjoy the weather. A generous space for the price, for sure! I liked the mattress. Convenient to all the beaches I wanted to look for rocks at. Can’t beat that price!!! I’ll be back, I hope!

Cozy Cottage near the Beach

We really enjoyed our fall weekend at The Abode. The cottage is nicely situated across the road from the beach access which allowed us to enjoy walking along the lake to watch the sunrise and spend time at the nearby state park. We enjoyed the proximity to both Port Huron and Lexington for walking and shopping. The cottage was clean, comfortable and cozy. Paula included some really nice little touches to make us feel special.

Cottage With Large Living Area

Check-in process was easy using a key code to enter the unit. This cottage is attached to the back of a commercial building. It has a nice large deck facing a residential neighborhood. The large living area has both a trundle bed and a futon. The kitchen was well equipped, but there's no dishwasher. The shower had a nice handheld showerhead. The supplies provided met our needs. Parking was easy. The host quickly responded to our communications.

Only for the night

We only stayed one night , it was nice to have a private beach across the street . We had a hard time finding the place as it sits back behind the attached building an old store or shop . It looks a little rough around the edges when you first pull up but once inside it was clean and had all your amenities . I noticed a few spots in ceiling where the roof had leaked . We let the owners about it throughout unit . Maybe from the leaks

Chasing the Northern Lights

A spontaneous booking opportunity that did not disappoint. An Adorable Abode that exceeded our needs (& expectations). Wish we had booked another night, possibly two, but again, this was a spontaneous adventure. Would love to make this a destination during the warmer months to enjoy a dip in the big lake (Huron). The host, Paula, was extremely helpful and available for questions whenever needed. Such a cute place, well stocked for comfort and extremely clean. Private beach area met our needs for the northern lights' lite show. A couple of lawn chairs, a box o'wine and we were set for the show. If you do make the trek, highly recommend eating at Cheap Charlies. Had a fantastic Walleye dinner (& it was cheap). Their entire menu looked appetizing.

The Perfect Abode

The property manager was amazing and so accommodating with our family. We came to michigan on a last minute reservation because a family member was sick… the feeling of home and al the little details and extras given made the hard days for our family easier. Beautiful outside and inside, waterfall shower , very comfortable beds even the pull out/ trundle bed felt like a cloud, the fire pit outside was adorable and used for s’mores…we travel here at least twice a year for family and I will be contacting Paula each time now. Couldn’t imagine a better location or a more perfect place for my family to stay. Even though our trip was very hard and sad we still enjoyed the time we stayed and felt at home when everything felt like it was falling apart around us. Thank you again to the property manager for her kinds words and support.

The Abode was perfect for a weekend on Lake Huron. The property is spacious and comfortable with a complete kitchen . We were content staying close: eating and shopping nearby, and accessing the day use area of Lakeport State Park. Parking at The Abode was a no-brainer! Hooray! Paula answered questions promptly and made sure we had all the info we needed. Clean: no signs of dust, etc. And that shower is A!
