Perfect Get Away

Highly recommend The WhiteHouse. First of all, Jessica responded to all questions quickly before we booked, and when arrived response always quick , no leaving you hanging for response. House is awesome, clean, lots room , nice kitchen and supply’s almost everything you need The two guys in our party are fishermen, and back porch with 2 doors was also so nice to put all the fishing stuff, coolers and supplied a fish cleaning table They did a charter first , caught limit of walleye. Then caught more on their own , And like all the comments, the patio was amazing right on river with mouth of Saginaw Bay right there. Enjoyed watching all the boats going up and down river , at times a convoy of them. Friday night had a lighted boat parade, was so entertaining. , the ducks always swimming and on the docks enjoyed as well The restaurant on the river went to by boat was very good. Able to dock boat right at the patio ! Us 2 girls did a lot of driving to different towns everyday. Cannot complain about anything. Thank you for sharing such a nice property , hope to return again !

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.

Bass fishing

The house was great! Very very clean with updated amenities. Three buddies and I stayed a week and were very pleased with how the property accommodated two bass boats without issue. Just 5 minutes from the DNR boat ramp at the mouth of the bay. The bass fishing was fantastic as well. We booked a day of walleye fishing with Nick at Bay Charters and had an absolute blast as well. Highly recommend him if you want a true professional guide that goes above and beyond. Five stars!

A great experience and location

We went here with nothing planned other than relaxation. It was so peaceful just sitting outside and watching the boats go down the canal and up and down Lake Huron. We noticed there was high winds on the other side of the canal but we were sheltered by neighboring houses and trees most of the time. The house inside is spacious and really enjoyable to stay in. Our nephews really enjoyed fishing off the dock. This was our second time there and would definitely look and see if its available for our next trip. You are also very close to downtown Bay City and several great restaurants so all kinds of activities are available if you so choose.
