The cottage was perfect, the views are spectacular. We only stayed 2 days but we could have stayed much longer. The house has everything you need, from a fully stocked kitchen to games, binoculars, blankets comfy beds.The hot tub was a nice bonus. Neighborhood is quiet and neighbors are friendly.Bay City has alot to offer, great restaurants, riverwalk and unique shops. Ordered in from BJays, perfect for a cool night in.Hope to return for a longer visit.

The house was nice and very clean. The yard was spacious and just steps away from a large sandy beach. My kids enjoyed the lake house and it was a relaxing trip. The owner said the water level was down a bit during our stay, so we had to walk out a considerable distance from shore even for our toddlers to swim. Overall, the property is very nice.

This small beachfront house is ideal for getting away from the hustle and bustle of life. From the fully furnished kitchen to the back deck looking out to the beach and wonderful view of Saginaw Bay, this house was charming and had ample room for our family of six. The hosts have provided plenty of games to entertain yourself on those days or nights you need to stay inside. There is a beach firepit and there is even firewood for purchace onsite. We will be looking to book this little gem down the road when we just need a getaway again.

Loved it! Great for a girls' weekend. The cute house was nicely decorated and spotless. It had every amenity that we needed and space for the three of us to have our own sleeping area with the two bedrooms and a pull out couch. Back deck had furniture on which to sit and have our morning coffee and an area of grass before the private beach area with a fire pit. Plastic Adironack chairs were easy to carry to there for the bonfire (firewood available for purchase right on the property) and into the water to sit while sunning ourselves. Plenty of board/card games were available for a fun time in the evening after the sun went down, as well as the hot tub with plenty of beach towels. Neighbors were nice and really helpful. It's not too far a drive to downtown Bay City, although you might want to avoid the bridge that says it has a toll (still waiting to see if we get that bill in the mail). Lots of cute bars and restaurants there. We only stayed two nights, as that is all that was available, but really wished we could have stayed longer. Would definitely come back!

Cute house. Had everything we needed. Great beach for the kids to play in the sand. We were surprised by the poor water quality in the bay but we were able to find a great place to get in the water about an hour away. Friendly neighbors.
