We (group of 6 adults and one child) stayed for a family weekend to visit our daughter at SVSU. The house was just as described and well stocked with bathroom essentials and kitchen tools. The house is very clean and while the neighborhood looks older, it was very quiet and we had no issues or ever felt unsafe. We would absolutely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Big Blue for our group of 8! Jason is a super fast and thorough communicator. The home smelled great, was well stocked, very clean, and had a super comfortable couch for movie night. The hot tub was clean and enjoyed. We liked that the yard was fenced in, feels secure and private. Really it had everything we needed. Thanks Jason and Jamie!

My parents and I rented this charming home for a visit to Bay City, where we were spending time with nearby family. We were absolutely delighted to find a property that not only accommodated all of us comfortably, but also offered such convenient proximity to our relatives.From the outset, the hosts were exceptionally communicative and professional. They took a genuine interest in the purpose of our stay and ensured that we felt welcomed and at ease from the very beginning. The listing was entirely accurate, with photographs that faithfully reflected the home’s appearance and amenities.The house itself was impeccably clean and well-maintained, with an abundance of thoughtful provisions. Ample supplies such as paper towels and toiletries were readily available, and the hosts went above and beyond by including delightful extras like hot chocolate packets, granola bars, ground coffee, and microwave popcorn. There were also plentiful towels and additional bedding, and the bathrooms were carefully stocked with items like cotton swabs and makeup remover pads... small touches that made a meaningful difference.The hot tub was a wonderful addition... modern, impeccably clean, and refreshingly easy to use.We fully intend to return and make this home a part of our yearly tradition.

This listing was perfect. The house was very clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. I would totally stay here again. The only thing I would change is either the 10:00 am check out or the 4:00 pm check-in it made our short stay feel even shorter.

Thanks Terri, glad you had a good time. I’m definitely flexible on the check in check out times. Have it set up that way to insure we can get the house cleaned in time if it’s a same day turn. Even if same day turn we usually can get you in early no problem. Once in awhile we will get guests that have made a huge mess and it’s not possible but that is very very rare.. thanks again Hope to host you again soon.
