Aaahhh.... the view! Day or night, yet especially when the sun is setting, the view makes Bayside Bungalow feel magical. What an incredible place to soak in Lake Huron, not too far once you pass the Mackinac Bridge. The renovations are modern & crisp. The 4 bedroom/ 2 bathroom Bayside Bungalow is a all-around sharp place. Sitting with your friends and family in the comfortable porch setting overlooking Lake Huron brings out the best in both relaxation and conversation. The stroll to the water's edge is simple. Comfort surrounds you both inside and out as it is obvious care was taken to ensure vacationing guests found space to relax. The convenience of the large refrigerator, ample indoor and outdoor seating, plus the laundry room on the main floor, add ease to your trip.

The favorite spot for the bibliophile in your group will be the reading nook. This space was designed as the ideal space to relax. Plus, for those who need to do a little work or study at the desk, while the rest of the family vacations, there is an ideal space to squeeze in those few moments. This unique bungalow simply brings out that warm & cozy feeling of being together. The purpose of carving out this time to be together.

As you watch the sun descend onto the Lake Huron horizon, listening to the crackle of the camp fire as you reflect on the day, you'll find yourself wondering, just when you will be back to Lake Huron, and a visit to Bayside Bungalow again...
