~The UpSiDe DoWN PaRRoT~Swim Fish Relax ON LakeHURON! ~Killarney Beach *Bay City
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 is returning @rapid rate as of April 2025!
Use our beautiful Bay City State Park to launch/anchor/moor YOUR boat right in front of the suite (our home). Or use snowmobile to glide onto the ICE to fish! Larger equipment has nearby entry access plus beautiful Bay City State Park at @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.
