What made this space stand out to us?
For Austin, itās something heās carried with him for years, dreaming of owning a property along the stretch of M-35, close to the water, close to home.
For Mikayla, it was about seeing the potential in what a stay could feel like, not just what it looks like.
The Bay House Retreat became the place where those two things met.
More than a cottage, itās now part of our life too, where we spend time, slow down, and create our own family memories alongside the guests who stay here.
Every corner of this space has been shaped with intention, care, and a lot of heart behind it.
And the best part? Watching it become part of so many other peopleās stories too.
If youāve stayed here, you know what we mean.
If you havenāt yet, we canāt wait to welcome you.
