My girlfriend and I stayed with our 2 dogs, and all had a fantastic time :) So many things to see and do in the area. A long weekend was not enough! ##### Guessing G.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I took a short trip to celebrate our Anniversary and have never been to this part of Michigan. It was a great little spot tucked away and gave us that cozy lake cottage feel that we were looking for. The village of Northport was a short walk away and very enjoyable. If you are looking for a slower pace, away from the crazy traffic and noises of a city, this cottage is a great place to rent. ##### A guest from Grand Rapids, MI This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Patti R. Jun 30, 2025 #### Bay House review Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. I know the owners are working hard and this potentially will be a gem, but right now it needs serious updates. There is a bad sewer odor most likely from disintegrating cast iron sewer lines under the cabin. Flooring needs replacing and the cabin has no air conditioning which is a must in this low, humid area. Presently it's just a super old cabin in a great location that needs lots of TLC ##### Patti R.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great spot for a long weekend for my husband and me. Plenty of room for two people. The fireplace was nice and the kitchen had the basics (though no basic ingredients, e.g. cooking oil). The location was the best feature though- right on Grand Traverse Bay with a gorgeous view out the back of the house. Close to several wineries and hiking trails. Less than a mile from Northport, so very walkable. The cons: The home had a horrible smell when we arrived. We opened all the windows and turned on fans. That helped a little. It got better every day, especially when we bought an air freshener. There were also tiny ants that showed up if we left any food on the counter. The rental company was responsive and said they'd reimburse us for the air freshener. ##### Liz S. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [St. Clair Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-The-St-Clair-Inn.h36685.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Sault Ste.
