Welcome to one of the best kept secrets in the USA...Killarney Beach (Bay City, MI). Our hideaway was recently renovated from a 3 bedroom area of our home (lower level) with a detached bathroom now into ONE LARGE SUITE with a brand new private tiled bathroom. Completely shut off from main home into your very own private water side suite! Two exterior doors face Lake Huron with a wrap-around cedar deck to relax & watch the sunrise or use the seawall stairs (4) to walk down into the water!
*Note: Water levels reached record high (2020) but are quickly decreasing. Our beach will return soon!
Use the beautiful Bay City State Park to launch/anchor YOUR boat right in front of the suite (our home). Or use your snowmobile to glide onto the ICE to fish! Larger equipment have nearby access plus beautiful Bay City State Park at the beginning of our road (beach).
*North (N) or NorthEast (NE) Winds-DO NOT anchor your boat or leave unattended.
Note: See pics of how we position our Yamaha Jet Boat in front of our BeachHouse!
*Water Hoist NOT available for guests.

Or less but w/trailers. Or if you’d like to free up your trailers from the drive- you are more than welcome to park across the street (marsh side) and/or park your trailers there when not in use. No worries though on parking or space.
DO NOT forgot your BIKES!! The #1 FAVORITE ACTIVITY our guests enjoy are the bike trails along the Marsh & State Park that begin @ our driveway!
IF you FORGET your bike, or space does not allow-you may rent our bikes! See rates. Bring your camera, binoculars, & water bottle for daily excursions! Most of our guests use our bikes 2-3x a day and venture a new trail each time! You may see deer, squirrels, beavers, egrets, large turtles, lily pads w/frogs birds & ducks nearby, fish and an endless amount of critters small & big-who are comfortable w/guests. Yes, even the deer hang out in our front yard- early morning & at dusk too! And yes bikes are used year round when in between snows ;) Or cross country ski or snowmobile down to the Marsh and enjoy the wildlife this way!
