About this property

Walleye Capitol of Michigan on Canal Front House with view of the Saginaw Bay

Recently remodeled 3-bedroom home sleeps up to 8. Large open floor plan with Vaulted Ceiling Living / Dining area and a view of the Saginaw Bay. Large fenced in yard with a Privacy Fence, Fire Pit and Horseshoe Pits. Washer and Dryer. Plenty of parking including room for large boats. Closest Vacation Rental to Public Access. Available All Year-round, Ice Fishermen welcome. Park small boat in backyard.

Although the home is located on Linwood "BEACH" Drive there is not a beach in the immediate vicinity. Boater's Beach is within minutes by water and Bay City State Park Beach is 15 minutes by car.

The canal can accommodate a small boat but does get overgrown with weeds. We are the closest rental home to the public access where small boats; jet skis and kayaks have direct access to the bay. Linwood Beach Marina and Campground is six hundred yards from the home which has four launches, boat / bait / party store and gas.

The city of Linwood has three restaurants, two bars and a party store, two of the restaurants / bars are about a half mile away. Franks Great Outdoors is a short drive away. Just north of Linwood Road you'll find Ricker's Meat where you will find the finest meat around.

This property is very close to everything you might need:
Linwood Beach Marina - 1/10th mile
Frank's Great Outdoors - 4 miles
Northwoods Wholesale Outlet - 9 miles
Bay City State Park Beach - 10 miles
Maple Leaf Golf Course - 3 mile
Green Hills Golf Course - 4 miles

Great location for fishing!Needs more silverware would be the only negative, as we only had 4 forks and limited butter knives. Maybe we just didn’t look hard enough. Host was great and we would stay again.

Outstanding for Fishermen!

Simply an excellent stay and had the perfect amenities for fishermen. There was plenty of room to back my boat into the driveway, there were outside electrical hookups, and a marina a few hundred yards away… and the owners were easy to communicate with.

Very comfortable place right off the bay.

Had a fantastic stay here. Clean, spacious place just a stones throw away from a launch. Fishing was fantastic. Owners are great, great communication and also run a charter service which can make things even more convenient. Definitely highly recommended. Thanks again.

Family get away

Nice place and quiet. They had horse shoes, some frisbee thing I’ve never done before but the kids loved it, corn hole fire pit, barbecue and some board games. They had plenty of places to sleep. It was a very nice experience for us all. The kids want to go back again sometime.

Weather was rough with lots of rain but we had plenty to do inside and had a great time with our grandchildren. Watching the storm over the lake was awesome. Owners were helpful. Bronners Christmas store was lots of fun. I recommend this property.

Thanksgiving stay

Our family stayed here for Thanksgiving. My mom's house is under construction and she wasn't able to host us for Thanksgiving, so we hosted here! The space was perfect for our family, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a full spread, the rooms were comfy, and the view was lovely. Although it was cold outside, I took the opportunity to walk to the beach and it made me really want to visit again in the summer. Thanks for the hospitality!
