Amazing staycation

My wife and I spent the weekend here and couldn’t have been happier with the choice. This was a nice clean modern A frame located 7 min from down town bay city. We had a great time in and out of the house.

Perfect little a-frame

We arrived to the house brightly lit, decorated for the holiday, full of amenities, and in a great location. We enjoyed the hot tub, loft, comfy beds, and TV quality decor. I will definitely stay again when we visit Bay City.

The Perfect A-Frame

The wife and I travelled to Bay City for our 10th anniversary and were looking to stay someplace special, and this place delivered :) Clean, well laid out, and full stocked with everything you'd need for a trip. Really enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor BBQ, and made full use of the washer and dryer. Everything was perfect for our special weekend.

This property worked out excellent. Close to Bay Sail, in a quiet neighborhood. It was very clean, beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was very good. Would certainly use it again if we are back in the area.

Perfect for much needed vacation

Very minnimalist but lovely property that was just what I needed to take a break from my school stress. Was very appreciative of the board games and wish we had brought some of our own since it was just me and one orher person (most of the games are geared towards larger groups which makes sense).

Cute getaway

My husband and I stayed at this adorable A-frame for my birthday and really enjoyed our time. The space is very clean and modern and we loved the hot tub and unique architecture. The first floor bed wasn't that comfortable for us, but that's just a personal preference. The only small downside is that it is a drive to the downtown area. Other than that, we had a nice time and would definitely recommend it.

Fall break

My family and I stayed at this house for 3 nights. The house was spotless and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. The kids loved the loft area and making fires and s’mores each night. The owner was great to work with and responded quickly to questions. I have two complaints and it’s minimal is that I wish the living room had more seating and the water in the hot tub had a bad odor to it the last 2 nights we were there. Overall a great place to stay.
