A kitchen capable of cooking meals, a designated work space and a bright bathroom with a shower/tub combo to get ready for local adventures that await you!

This 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit on the second floor, spans the entire north side of the main portion of the home. The bedroom features a queen bed, blackout full-length shades and even a noise machine! The closet features flat and hanging space and room for your luggage.

The living room has a fold down futon for 2 additional guests, with all of the needed linens. Relax in front of the beautiful original marble fireplace, plenty of lighting for a good read, watching a movie on the Smart TV or even working at the dedicated desk.

The kitchen is fully functional with everything you need to prepare your own meals. Stove and refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and much more! The table can seat up to 4, when expanded.

The bathroom is small but mighty! An original vintage sink and faucet adds that special charm. Adorned with vintage maritime art and bright lighting. There are plenty of linens and hanging space for towels as well as a removable shower head.

A washer and dryer available for all guests to use on the main floor.

The McCormick house has served many purposes over the last 150 years but is currently a 6-unit apartment building. The home sits up on a hill with a large open area to enjoy a sit on the swing, a glass of wine on the porch or a picnic lunch on the grass. The large porch that spans the entire width of the home, has views of the Saginaw River. There is a shared patio at the back of the home where guests can dine or relax.

Nicole will be available if needed by phone/text or in person but is not located on site.

Across the street from the Saginaw River and Bigelow Park. Kayak rentals available. Less than 1 mile from the Uptown Business District, including Dow Chemical, Mclaren Medical Offices, bars, restaurants and shopping, with Downtown Bay City another few blocks beyond.

Free parking directly behind building. Also overflow parking available on-street, except during snow events.

The two-story home has 4 units available for nightly stays. This is a great place to stay if you love history, 19th century architecture and charm of the past. Search for James, Joseph, Sarah or Elizabeth McCormick. With 4 units, sleeping a total of 4 per unit, it is an excellent option for large groups such as weddings, family reunions, work travel, festivals, etc.
