Customer Reviews
Read over the bad reviews before and after staying here and I think people misunderstand what a cabin is meant to be. One review even has the wrong address/location. Booked theough Air BnB & stayed here for the first time with my 2 teens and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Loved there were multiple kayaks and Paddleboards free to use, with various sizes of life jackets. Plenty of seating, shuffleboard & water toys too. Cabin #5 was exactly as advertised. It had a large bed and pullout coach with plenty of room to move around. Table and chair inside & picnic table outside. We didn't use the kitchen, except for the fridge, because a grill was provided so we opted for it. There was a garbage can outside readily available and inside a lot was provided for us including, but not limited to; b
I rarely leave reviews, but our stay at this resort was so shockingly bad that I feel compelled to warn others. What was supposed to be a relaxing getaway turned into a stressful and uncomfortable experience due to blatant safety issues and unprofessional management. First and foremost, the rooms were downright dangerous. Exposed electrical wiring was clearly visible—right next to where our kids were sleeping. That alone should’ve been enough for us to leave immediately. On top of that, the heat vent wasn’t even connected. Extreme safety hazard. The hosts were rude, dismissive, and made it clear they had no interest in addressing any issues. When we brought up the wiring, they brushed it off with a casual, "These are cabins on a lake, not 5 star hotels." Excuse me? That’s a massive safe
Bay view resort 1033 W Lake Street Tawas City, MI 48763 Do NOT book this place – unsafe, dirty, and completely unprofessional. I booked this property through Airbnb, but the co-host Gail (who is managing this as a new business) convinced me to cancel and send money directly via Zelle — huge mistake. When we arrived, both the main house and the cabin were filthy and clearly hadn’t been cleaned. Nothing was ready until after 6:00 PM. The property itself is unsafe and not guest-ready at all: The bathrooms were clogged. There was no lockbox, and the windows and doors didn’t even lock we had to lock them using pieces of wood and guess what the host Steven and the co-host Gail didn’t care to do anything to fix the issue . The cabin #1 smelled and looked filthy with zero kitchen cooking basi
Absolutely Horrible Experience – Unsafe and Unprofessional I don’t even know where to begin. My family and I recently stayed at this so-called "resort" hosted by Steven and co-hosted by Gail, and it was a nightmare from start to finish. Safety Violations Everywhere: First off, the place was not safe at all. There were no locks on the doors for security, and even worse, there was no smoke detector in the house, which is a huge violation. To make matters worse, the furnace wasn’t even connected to the hose, leaving us worried about potential gas leaks or worse. We also found that there were no covers on the electrical outlets, which is a major hazard, especially with kids around. Unhygienic and Uninhabitable Bathrooms: Both bathrooms were clogged, and they were completely unusable for hou
Not Worth It – Very Disappointed Don't let the pictures fool you! Cabin #1 was a huge letdown. The entire place had a terrible smell that hit us the moment we walked in and never went away. The kitchen was basically useless – no pots, pans, or even the basics you'd expect for cooking. If you're planning to make your own meals, forget it. Definitely not what we were expecting, and not worth the money.
