Amazing
Posted Jul. 31, 2023 on HomeAwayOne of the most AMAZING getaways we have had in a long time. The property owners were Incredible!!! The property itself was beautiful. So many great things to do close to the property. Lots of trails with amazing views, especially on the top of the lookout towers. Great food, shops, and parks. A place I will for sure visit again!

Amazing Views.
Posted Jul. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayThe hosts were amazing. Stacy and Dave were so helpful. The property inside is small but you don’t need to spend anytime inside because outside is nothing short of AMAZING. It was a peaceful and tranquil vacation with lots of fun. Lots of nearby activities. Pier to walk on even at night and state park close by with a public beach and splash pad. I would 100 percent recommend this property.

Rhonda and Scott were exceptional guests. They took great care of The UpSiDe DoWN PaRRoT 🦜 & left the suite immaculate upon departure! They maximized their experience by exploring all the local favorites & even stumbled across many hidden gems most visitors never find! 🏝️ Come back soon! You both are amazing individuals & so grateful to have met you! 💕

Go to the Upside Down Parrot! You’ll ❤️ it!
Posted Jul. 6, 2022 on HomeAwayFrom 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!

Beautiful lakeside setting
Posted Oct. 10, 2021 on HomeAwayThe hosts for this rental offer tons of additional amenities and are very helpful. They have great communication and are extremely accommodating. They are as hands-on or as hands-off as you need them to be. The room is immaculate and decorated very modern, but super cozy. I did find the room to be a little smaller than I expected, so you may find it a little cramped on a rainy day if you are a two adults staying with a couple of teenagers. There are a lot of cool spots to check out in Bay City, so I would recommend doing that on rainy days. The greatest thing about this place is that it is so well-stocked, you could come with just your toothbrush and a change of clothes and not need to bring anything else!

Melanie was an incredible guest right from the get go!! She planned months in advance and updated me with potential visitors. We were disappointed to never meet in person, but were able to schedule a FaceTime tour beforehand to ensure they knew how to use everything within reach & to explore all the surrounding areas witt just a bike ride!! They left the suite impeccably spotless and we look forward to their return!! Didn’t have the greatest weather for fishing but they for sure had a blast! UNTiL NeXT TiMe!

Tracy & Kevin were wonderful guests, as was their first mate “Rupert”! They enjoyed outdoor cooking & bonfires 🔥 along the water. Absolutely adorable & sweet couple-would love for them to return anytime!! They left the suite immaculate upon leaving & complimented us any time they could on all the blue ombré themes within the UpSiDe DoWn PaRRoT 🦜 They welcomed conversation & were so thoughtful each time asking US how our day was going even though they were OUR GUESTS! This shows you just how kind & considerate this beautiful couple is to anyone they surround.
Tracy & Kevin, thank you so much for staying with us! You both are incredible people-so kind hearted and considerate. We truly appreciate you both. Guests like you is the very reason why we love being hosts!! We are so glad you didn’t have rush home and could enjoy a few extra hours here at this hidden gem! 💕
UnTiL NeXt TiMe!!

Excellent weekend getaway
Posted Aug. 8, 2021 on HomeAwayA beautiful property ran by excellent people! Our hosts put thought into every little detail and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had a great time! We hope to return next summer.

Great group of young professionals!! So courteous of respecting house rules & complimented us any chance they could on our Suite, as well as how we love to host! They invited us to join them at their nightly bonfires & left us lots of “goodies” when they left as an extra thank you! Hannah-you ALL are great people! We enjoyed the laughs & watching you use the bikes, tubes, & paddle boards! We are very appreciative of the tip you left for us & so many drinks & snacks too! We will await your return next summer! This time make room for that “extra night” 😉

Absolutely the BEST!
Posted Aug. 2, 2021 on HomeAwayI literally can’t say enough about this property and especially the owners. From the moment I inquired about the property, I was met with prompt responses to any and all questions we had and that same type of service carried out throughout our entire stay. I have NEVER had an experience like this with ANY other rental property. Once we arrived we were greeted with a smiling face and a popsicle for our little one-making us feel right at home from the start. Stacey and Dave were the most amazing hosts. Any accommodation we needed they were right there to assist. Forget rental-this place was like staying at a 5 star resort!!!! The house is immaculate, the view stunning, and the owners absolutely salt of the earth people. I am already planning our return for next summer! Trust me when I say that you will NOT be disappointed! Stacey and Dave and this beautiful waterfront property were such a blessing to us-and we know they will be to you too!!!!

I cannot even try to explain how INCREDIBLE this family is!! From weeks before their arrival until days after..WOW!! Not only did they leave US a gift basket of treats upon leaving (after we created one upon their arrival bit no where close to theirs 😞) to incredible conversation & nights together during their stay…to the most amazing REVIEW we have ever read! Please return!! We miss you!!

Bachelorette party!
Posted Jul. 25, 2021 on HomeAwayThere were 8 of us girls and we had a great time! We loved waking up and looking right outside our window and seeing the sunrise over the water . The suite is super cute and had everything we needed. Dave and Stacey were great!

This group of 8 women (celebrating a Bachelorette weekend) were an absolute treat to host! Cassie herself is an amazing & talented individual who organized, communicated, & followed-thru in an outstanding fashion with us the entire time: From pre-booking right up until her arrival! Her dedication to make this a perfect weekend was amazing! We enjoyed treating this group to a surprise breakfast & bonfires, as well as offering them a free night attached to their reservation-to extend this special weekend to remember-which they gladly accepted. They were beyond grateful-as it created a much deserved and relaxed weekend with not as many worries or unknowns in a city they had never ventured before :)
We wish the Bride-To-Be (Britney) the best of luck with her fiancé Damon! We would have loved the opportunity to host Damon's Bachelor group of gentlemen-at such an incredible place. He personally thanked us for hosting ahead of time for all the extra accommodations we set in place beforehand (especially the gift of a free night before even meeting) and stressed how difficult it was to find a place (especially on the water plus w/private water access to Lake Huron only a few steps from their door) to even consider hosting a Bachelorette party. We insisted the girls will forever treasure & appreciate what they are about to experience, as it is what they wanted so it is our job to be sure they enjoy every single moment! We made it OUR PRIORITY to make sure we exceeded their expectations and went above & beyond, as we do for ALL guests! Without a doubt, these girls left with amazing stories, unrepeatable moments, beautiful pictures, & experiences they never anticipated or will forget!
Cassie so many thanks to YOU for working with US to make this a great weekend for these girls! We saw first hand how each bridesmaid invested time, thought, & energy into creating this perfect getaway! Had it not been for YOU though, this weekend would have not been nearly as great-as YOU are an incredible guest, and an even more amazing & dedicated friend to this bride! YOU are welcome back here any time! So many of these ladies were so gracious for just the basics, plus all the extras, and how we pulled off making sure we had 8 of everything...plus many surprises along the way! ;)
