Little Yellow Cottages — Hotel in Port Austin Township

If you’re looking for a clean, quaint little cottage to stay in a lively town, this is the place to stay. We were so pleased with our stay at the Little Yellow Cottages. We stayed in cottage 1 and let me tell you. As soon as you walked in to the cottage, you were greeted with a fresh clean smell. The living room/kitchen area were super clean. The bedroom had a queen bed. We have a hard time sleeping on a flat queen mattress since purchasing an adjustable bed, but the mattress surprised us with how comfortable it was. The bedroom and bathroom was bright and simple. The shower was the perfect size, and we never ran out of hot water! There was a cute little patio off the side of the cottage equipped with a table, 4 chairs, and an umbrella. It’s perfect for hosting guests. There is also a community fire pit if you want to rub elbows with your neighbors. We had a chance to meet the owners, and they were super nice and accommodating. Leading up to our stay I would shoot Kimberly a message asking for details about the surrounding area, and she was very responsive and helpful. I love the location of these cottages because they are within walking distance to anywhere in the small town of Port Austin. The farmers market is right across the street from the cottage so it was an easy walk. Also, great walking distance to the party store.

If you’re looking for a place to get friendly with the locals and still have a quiet place to stay and comfortable, this would be purrfect place to stay. We will definitely be back and we’re glad our first trip to the thumb...

We reserved Cottage 4 for 2 nights. Evidently, it is the only cottage that has not been totally remodeled. We were told this by the owner. |We didn’t necessarily mind that the place was outdated but it was not clean. The “fully stocked” kitchen was a joke. We had to wash every dish and pan we used and could not use any of the baking pans due to the rust on them. When we finally found the tv remote behind the sofa/futon, it did not work. The furniture was dirty and uncomfortable. The screened in front porch and furniture was dirty and looked like it had not been swept out from the winter. The front patio furniture and umbrella had not been cleaned or made ready for guests. The beautiful landscaping depicted on the website was definitely not from this year. |The only good thing was that the mattresses were new but we could only sleep there one night. We asked for a full refund but only received it for 1 night. We only got that after being threatened that we would not get any refund if we wrote a negative review. I wouldn’t feel right not letting other travelers know of...

If you are looking for a quiet get away, with time to relax and enjoy the area of Port Austin, then a stay at The Little Yellow Cottages should be in your future. The new owners are the type of people you wind up easily becoming friends with. They are determined and eager to make sure your stay meets your needs and satisfies your expectations. The instant hot water, Mr. Cool A/C, and gas wall heater are all genius additions that work perfectly to keep guests' needs met. When you come, plan to get to know the locals, they are laid back, friendly, and will make you feel right at home. My husband and I felt so welcomed by neighbors of the cottages that we became fast friends; one neighbor we met down at the park by the beach, she said to stop by anytime and if we needed anything she would be glad to accommodate. Whatever your reason for a getaway, do not miss out on Port Austin's Farmer's Market, every Saturday, 9am-1pm, mid-May to October, again you will be glad you went and will meet some of the friendliest...
