  • Rarely does one find that pictures of a place are "true" to reality when they arrive at the actual location. However, I have to say that we were not disappointed in the cottage and grounds. Pictures were very accurate! We had 7 of us there for a week - family reunion in Wallace - and found the accommodations to be everything we had hoped for and more. I was pleasantly surprised that there were as many "extras" as were provided in the house and on the grounds. We were able to entertain other family members for dinners and have relaxing, "pajama" days as well. We would highly recommend this facility to anyone seeking to "get away from it all". In fact one of our local cousins thought it would be great to get lost there themselves!. Only inconvenience that we had (because we are addicted to modern technology) was the lack of cell phone use and internet access. But it made us "plan" our business contacts so that they did not interfere with our "vacation"!! Thanks, Karen, for a wonderful place to stay. (and the Crockpot - we made BBQ'd ribs).

  • My family and I stayed at the cottage in June 2006 and had a wonderful time. The weather was cool but such a nice escape from the sticky heat and humidity we left behind. We spent time playing croquet and some swimming when it wasn't too cold. I was amazed how far we were able to walk out into the water without it becoming too deep. The cottage is very nice and roomy, and I very much appreciated the many amenities that it offered. Thank you for a very relaxing and enjoyable time with my family.

  • Bay Haven is a true retreat. We were forced to do nothing else but relax. There was such a variety of artwork and treasures throughout the house that we discovered something new each day. The house is just close enough to Menominee and Marinette to enjoy the shops, restaurants, and weekend activities. We had the fortune of staying during a full moon. When the sun goes down the only thing you can see are the stars and the moon, no other hints of cizilization unless we stepped out onto the highway. The only modern luxury I missed was a good showerhead in the bathroom. Each person has one creature comfort that they wish they could take with them when they travel. Enjoy!!

  • We hadn't visited Michigan before and much to our delight it was wonderful. The house was great! We really enjoyed being able to have a huge yard to play and relax. The house is full of stories and artifacts. There was six of us including 2 kids and there was plenty of room. Everything you could possibly need is supplied. The only downfalls we encountered was the "beach" area and traffic noise. "Beach" area was overgrown while we were there (10 days) and 'fixed' the evening before we left and house sits close to highway so you hear a lot of truck traffic whizzing by. But, A LOT more pluses than those two things. My family overly enjoyed our stay and would reccomend Bay Haven to everybody!

  • Just left this morning: Our take on this rental: If you like restored houses, wood, dark Adirondack style porches the downstairs is for you. If you like newer drywall, lots of light and airy space the upstairs is for you—you get them both when you rent Bay Haven. PLUSES: Very private with lots of frontage on the lake; great place for relaxing; lots of beds; wonderful views; low-key list of “rules”; no smoke if you are allergic. MINUSES: Waterfront too shallow for launching a boat; climbing the tiny spiral staircase to watch TV is irritating; out buildings not clean yet (May 31); mold count and feathers count moderate (the dehumidifiers keep the spores under control though); no microwave. In general a nice getaway spot. –Keith & Sharon Drury June 1, 2005
    
    Homeowner Response:
    We really appreciate feedback from our guests! Whenever it's possible to follow their suggestions for improvements... we DO it. We have added a TV for the downstairs and a microwave. There is a public boat launch 2 miles from Bay Haven. Thanks, Keith, for your comments.

  • As I plan our summer vacation for this coming summer I am remembering fondly our vacation last year. This place far exceeded our expectations. Its charm, warmth and relatively remote local lended to the relaxing atmosphere. The eclectic interior of the home was a little like an unpretensious museum. Everywhere you look there is something interesting that you hadn't noticed before. I look forward to a day when we might be able to return.

    Everyone told me that a trip to Menominee would be boring for a 17 year old girl but after reaching Bay Haven I realized they they had been wrong! This is a perfect place for teenagers to get away from school and work. I got to spend an entire week with my family seeing new things and eating new food. It was a wonderful experience and I suggest it to anyone needing some peace and quiet.

    Our week spent at Bay Haven was most memorable. Every day at this incredibly decorated home was a new learning experience in the world of an artist. The journey back in time will forever be a lasting memory. The serenity of the grounds and peacefullness of the porch were my favorites. I feel God blessed the owner with this place to share with others and I feel we were blest to have shared the experience.

Nestled in the south central tip of Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula, Menominee is an undiscovered Lake Michigan paradise.
