Beautiful home, great layout and very family friendly! We had a family reunion a few streets over and this home was a perfect place to stay. Tatiana was a great host, home was clean and ready for us. Would highly recommend if you are looking to stay in Sawlog Bay!

It was a pleasure hosting Christine and her family! They were respectful, tidy, and treated our home with great care. Communication was easy and clear from start to finish. They left the place in excellent condition and were wonderful to interact with. I would happily welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to any future hosts
We had all our requirements and expectations met and Tatiana was always available to fill any gaps or queries that we had Beautiful area to visit and have a family gathering would definitely return
The home was spacious. We had the rooms on the main floor. The room of bunk beds in the basement were not accessible to use. The kids had a great time playing in the games room and trampoline. The only issue we had was trying to keep the house cool enough on such a hot weekend after spending all day at local beaches, but unsure if that’s something the homeowner could change remotely. Overall, it was a great experience and the home was well taken care of and the owner checked in with me via text, a few hours after check-in time which was appreciated.

Dearest Lisa,
Thank you so much for your kind review and for taking the time to share your experience! I’m so glad to hear that your family enjoyed the space, especially the games room and trampoline.
I’m very sorry to hear you had trouble keeping the house cool during the hot weather. I truly wish you had reached out to me during your stay — I would resolve the issue right away by providing you with a pin. It is not something that I am not allowed to my guests. Occasionally, after a power outage, the HVAC system resets and requires a pin code to start cooling again. It’s a quick fix, and I’m always happy to assist.
Regarding the bedroom in the basement — we did originally have a fourth bedroom, but due to new licensing regulations in Tiny Township, we had to reduce the number of bedrooms based on the size of the septic system. As a result, we were required to lock that room and remove all related listings and photos. I appreciate your understanding.
Thank you again for being such thoughtful guests — I hope to welcome you back in the future!
Warm regards,
Tatiana
