Cass City accommodation from NZ$128

As promised, we enjoyed an unbelievably quiet escape from the rest of the world, surrounded only by all the sights and sounds of the Saginaw Bay. Our visit to the little lighthouse was at the end of March, during the prime migratory season of thousands of birds. We spent our entire time watching the geese, ducks, cranes, gulls, swans, and the eagles. At one point, we observed 18 eagles gathered on a sandbar, all vying for someone's catch of the day. We definitely would recommend this time of year to all the bird lovers out there. Maybe we will come back and visit during the warmer months so that we can enjoy kayaking, fishing, and a bonfire on the bay. Side notes to consider: Our host was very friendly and accommodating. She texted us a couple of times and alerted us to some eagle sightings. If you are interested in experiencing tiny house living or minimalizing your life, this is definitely a place you should try! Be prepared to climb ladder steps, as there are no sleeping accommodations on the lower level. We would suggest planning your meals ahead of time, keeping in mind that due to the quaint size of the Lighthouse, it has a kitchenette with a sink, small refrigerator, microwave, toaster, electric skillet and Keurig. There is no stove, but there is a propane grill outside. We discovered a cute pub with good food called the Bayshore Bar that was about 2-3 miles west.

The hot tub was nice and warm and clean, the timer worked good too.

Very clean and up to date facility. Room was clean, gym, spa and pool were also clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful and breakfast hit the spot.
