Everything was perfect and just what we needed for our stay! Looking forward to going back during warmer months to enjoy the beach and water. The only small hiccup was the address/location VRBO provided was about 10 minutes away from the actual house (off the same street). But Austin answered our call right away and got us to the house with no issues.

Austin and Mikayla are wonderful hosts. They put a lot of thought and effort into the little things to make your stay as perfect as possible. The property is clean, in a beautiful location, and packed with amenities to enjoy. Getting up early to watch the sunrise over the bay from the hot tub was *chef's kiss*. Can't wait to come back in summer.

The hosts were very welcoming and the house was gorgeous and in the perfect spot where you can watch the sun rise every morning .. we loved the fenced in yard for my friends dog who can’t be off leash so she for sure loved it! The hot tub was amazing even in 20 degree weather. They provided soft blankets for those cold mornings and nights. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back soon!

We really enjoyed our stay. We stayed from Sunday through Tuesday and didn't see another soul around which was perfect. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Sometimes places say that but this place was actually stocked with everything we needed :) We would not hesitate to stay again.

Perfect weekend getaway from Chicago!

Just what our family of four (six including our two pups!) were looking for…house is adorable and well equipped, and you simply can’t beat the private beach. Fenced-in front yard was perfect for the dogs. Host was super responsive and included lovely extra touches that made the stay even more enjoyable.

About the host

Hosted by Austin vieth

Host profile image
Austin, who is from the Marinette/ Menominee area, and Mikayla, who is from Chatham, Ontario, Canada, (Hence the Canadian Flag) met in 2018 down in Nashville, TN. Not thinking much of the initial meeting we remained friends through social media. It wasn't until early 2021 that we reconnected and truly began our story. We got engaged in April 2022 and have brought our entrepreneurial minds together to start our first short term rental property. Austin has always dreamed of having a property in this area for something to have in the family for many years while being able to rent it for others to enjoy in the meantime. From the day we stepped on the property we knew it was the right fit for our first place. We dedicated countless hours putting our own touches on the property to give it that perfect feeling of comfort on the lake for guests to get away to. We are excited to learn, grow, and share this incredible lake front property with each of our guests. It is the beginning of a new adventure for us and can't wait to see where it takes us. We welcome guests to let us know ways we could improve or add to the property to set it a step above the rest. Follow our story on instagram @thebayhouseretreat. Cheers and enjoy your stay at The Bay House Retreat

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for its tranquil beachfront setting and close proximity to Austins family in Marinette. This has been location that Austin has talked about purchasing a place for many years. While we love to travel, this property will be a place for our family to visit and relax to escape to hustle and bustle of the world for many years to come. In the meantime we want to share this special place with others to be able to enjoy as we do.

What makes this property unique

The incredible lake view, fire pit on the beach, and the soothing sound of waves crashing as you relax are a few of the amenities that make this beach front property stand out from the rest. The sandy beach offers several sand bars making it great for families with small children as the water depths remain below 5 feet for several hundred yards.
