We really enjoyed our stay at Big Blue in Stevensville. The house had everything we needed and then some. The hosts are excellent, and I’d love to stay there again.
Perfect for my bachelorette party! Had a group of 8 and there was plenty of room. The house is clean, modern, and comes with extra amenities so you feel right at home.
We had a wonderful time. Had a surprise 40th weekend for my bestie! The house had everything we needed. Had a couple small issues, texted the homeowners and they responded quickly. The steam shower upstairs is AMAZING! I used it 3 times while I was there!!
The house is large and easily housed 6 of us-we didn't even use all sleeping areas. We spent more time staying in then going out because we really enjoyed being there. The hot tub is really nice and so is the fire pit. We had lots of privacy in the back yard and enjoyed watching the wildlife visiting. The location is nice because you are close to Stevensville's downtown and not far from St. Joseph. All 3 bathrooms are stocked with high quality soaps, shampoo, and conditioner. The showers are very modern. We had such a great time and we are already planning our next trip!
