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.

Perfect location if you love to fish the Saginaw Bay! The White House was perfect…comfortable, clean, and the perfect location.

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 !

Visit to Saginaw Bay

The property offers a unique place on the mouth of the Kawkawlin River where it enters Saginaw Bay. We were able to moor out boat directly in front of the house, providing us with easy access to the river and the bay. The house is large, clean, quiet and comfortable. A great place for a beautiful vacation.

Family get together on the Lake

This property provides an excellent opportunity to bring your boat to a nice house where the Kawkawlin river meets Saginaw Bay. We caught many fish right from the deck of the house, including bass, bowfin, catfish, bluegill, perch, crappie, rock bass, and sheephead. Well worth the visit.
