Amazing Stay
Paul & Gina greeted us when we arrived, and Paul even went out of his way to help carry things down to the suite! The property was beautiful and the view from the living area was surreal! Also, we were able to enjoy the fire pit. There were kayaks & a canoe available for use as well. We were blessed beyond measure, and the colors were spectacular. Thank you Paul & Gina for blessing us with our stay at this beautiful space of heaven!! You both were very gracious and helpful we appreciate your hospitality...we are looking forward to booking from you again!

Serenity achieved
We spent a week at Paul and Gina's property and highly recommend the experience. We had to ask for a late check in and then ended up getting lost, despite great directions from our owners. They could have not been more gracious about the entire fiasco! The suite is exactly as described and was perfect for our vacation. While the owners live above, they were never intrusive and very conscious of our privacy. The gardens and yard are spacious and beautiful and you are right near the water to enjoy the cool breeze and waves. A very clean and well appointed property with the bonus of daily visits from Gina's dog, Jackson. We have been to Big Bay before and appreciate the remoteness and beauty of the area. We are sincerely grateful for the hospitality!
