- "Bay City may be a small town but it is not small on things to do. Many restaurants that line the streets, shops to shop and outdoor concerts to listen too. Our VBRO was located above Brooklyn Boyz restaurant. Quiet neighborhood and friendly people. We plan to come back." - "The apartment is so nicely done and clean. Jen is a wonderful and responsive host! We tried several restaurants and Brooklyn Boyz was the best. Most of the street parkeling and a couple of the lots are posted as 2 hr parking from 8-6 although while we were there it didn't appear to be very closely monitored. There wasn't as much going on in the area for the particular weekend we stayed as we had hoped but we enjoyed what we did do and everybody in the area that we spoke with were very friendly."

- "From the moment we pulled in the drive, Dave & Stacey were SO hospitable! They were so kind. They took our daughters out tubing for their first time EVER and they had a blast! The weather was perfect, we loved the friendly neighborhood, biking and walking the beautiful trails, and evening bonfires. If we needed anything, Dave & Stacey were quick to provide. The suite was nice and quaint and offered all that we needed. The triple bunk bed was a nice feature for our 3 girls. We would highly recommend anyone looking for a relaxing lakeside get-a-way to check out this wonderful property. You will NOT be disappointed! Thanks again Dave & Stacey for being amazing hosts!"

- "The host was great with communication. The apartment was clean, a good size space, well equipped, convenient to downtown Bay City. We appreciated the extras that the host left such as bottled water, coffee, creamer, and some soft drinks. The towels were huge, fluffy, soft and absorbent! The beds were comfortable. I looked for a wine opener and didn’t see one, so you might stick one in your bag if staying in this unit. We normally stay at a hotel downtown but will be staying here from now on! It was so convenient and nice! We enjoyed our stay!!!"

- "Beautiful historic building. Impeccable condition. Great value." - "We found the property to be charming and had all we needed to be comfortable. Parking was a bit of a challenge due to the city nightlife but was thankful for the provided parking pass. We didn’t think the front door was very secure but weren’t affected by its lack of complete closure. Booking was wonderful and easy to do and we would love to come back again. " - "Great stay in this downtown loft. Great location - can walk to everything. Place was just as shown in pics- layout great and beds were very comfortable. They did a great job on the decor!"

- "The apartment was clean, comfortable and as described. We will be back when in the area again." - "The host cancelled my reservation on the day of, because he "didn't like my tone" (I asked him for check in instructions). Then he claimed that my credit card was denied and that's why he cancelled, but Vrbo billed me the usual service fee of $20 and my bank confirmed that the card was not denied. Obviously double-booked. Quite rude man, and clearly a place to avoid if you need to count on the reservation being there when you arrive. "
