Beautiful space

We had the best time at your place. The views are incredible!! We caught some fish off the dock and took a little trip to Frankenmuth too. I would definitely recommend this place. It was clean and had everything we needed. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Great Home on the River!

My parents and I stayed at Shirley's Temple for a week and really enjoyed it. The home was updated and very neat and clean. Sitting out on the deck and watching the boat traffic on the weekend was fun! Because my parents are elderly, the size of the bathroom was a bit of an issue. It is tiny so keep that in mind if you are traveling with someone who is larger or has special needs. The location is close to all of the stores and restaurants off of Wilder Rd. and to Bay City State Park. If you're looking for a place to get away in the Bay City area, this is a great choice. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The Shirley Temple is one of the best places we have rented in Michigan, and we have rented a lot of places. We loved the location, watching the boats come by, and the lake views. The house is adorable, clean, and comfortable. This was our first time on the east side of Michigan, and it didn't disappoint. We loved it all!!

Shirley’s temple is a beautiful perfect location. I loved laying on the couch while looking at the river. The house was beautiful and well stocked with everything we needed. Check in was so smooth and easy. I loved that the key lock code was so simple to remember. The host was kind and was easy to work with

The house was clean and comfortable. We spent lots of time on the deck--reading, watching the boat traffic, and enjoying the ducks. The short walk to the beach opened up to a great view of the bay.
