Wonderful, clean home. Plenty of comfortable beds in good size rooms, lovely decore. Hot tub was enjoyed by all. Cool coffee, hot beverage station. Very good and prompt communication with host
Our home away from home!! We loved the cozy warm house and getting my grandkids to leave was like pulling teeth!! Lol . We had a great stay and consider coming back!!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Big Blue House. Didn’t need a thing during our stay. Seamless! The house was so clean & well thought out. Our family adored the hot tub!!
We had a great stay at BigBlue! Clean and well equipped place. The host was very easy to communicate with and made our family gathering very convenient. Will definitely stay here again!
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!
Jason was very attentive to our needs and inquiries and checked on us asap when we got into the house The house was clean and had everything that wwe need.
We had a great stay in Bay City the hosts were wonderful and answering our questions. Everything was brand new in the unit. I would definitely book again
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.
Absolutely loved this property. Communication with the owner was a A++ fast responding. If your looking for a getaway this is the place you wanna check out. The inside is so clean, the neighborhood is quiet,the inside of this house is updated. The hot tub was amazing . Everything was just prefect. Look forward to staying there again
This house has everything you need. It was an excellent stay and we wish we could have stayed longer. Very clean, lots of amenities including a hot tub, board games, corn hole, even a neighborhood bar right down the road to walk to! We loved it. Thank you!
I rented this house for a group of friends! We had the best time for the New Years weekend! The house is clean, spacious, and cozy! Everything was updated and well maintained. Even the doggo with us had the best time. The hot tub is a great addition too! The hosts were very responsive and helpful when needed! Would definitely stay again! Happy 2023!
We reserved Big Blue for a short stay before going on vacation out of the country. Jamie and Jason - the property managers - were very quick to respond to any questions we had prior to our stay and for any issues we had during our stay.
The house is huge - plenty of room for your group. There were just 2 of us with our dog, but we chose this property because they have a fenced-in back yard and allow pets.
The house is well stocked with everything you'll need for your stay. We just enjoyed relaxing and were happy to be able to use the brand new outdoor hot tub.
We will definitely be returning for another stay!
Thank you for everything!
Sally & Matt & Jasper
