We rented two side-by-side properties on the Kawkawlin river near Saginaw Bay. This enabled us to host a family get together. The properties are lovely and the setting is beautiful. Many activities associated with the river and bay were available. We were also able to dock our boat directly at the property. We have rented from these hosts annually for 6 years and have always been completely satisfied.

Absolutely beautiful house in a perfect location! Peaceful and quiet. The home is extremely well-appointed. The beds are sooo comfortable with enough pillows to really relax and feel good. The kitchen has everything you would want and then some. The back patio has two tables with a total of eight chairs, shaded by two trees, located right up on the river with a clear view of the bay. The online pictures do not say enough about how lovely this house is. I highly recommend this VRBO for a family or a group of friends.

Perfect Getaway!

This home was impeccable upon our arrival. The location is amazing, and the view was beyond beautiful. This home was a peaceful getaway! The neighborhood is quiet, the home backs up onto the water for fishing, and the fire pit allowed us to relax and take in the view.

Visit to Saginaw Bay

The property offers a unique place on the mouth of the Kawkawlin River where it enters Saginaw Bay. We were able to moor out boat directly in front of the house, providing us with easy access to the river and the bay. The house is large, clean, quiet and comfortable. A great place for a beautiful vacation.
