With this being our first trip to Michigan from PA, we could not have been happier with the accommodations provided by Bayshore Resort! From the complimentary breakfast every morning to the complimentary shuttle service, everything was absolutely perfect! We look forward to our next visit with you!

Great resort with a beautiful private beach. Breakfast was lackluster, more like a continental breakfast than some hotels.
Staff were all exceptionally friendly and kind.

Great place to stay on the beach
Great place to stay, on the beach and close to downtown. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and our room was clean and roomy. My only quibble is about the chintzy shampoo packets which are too small and too hard to open, especially with wet hands!

The Bayshore may be a little vintage, it is perfect for us! We’ve stayed several times in the fall. It is an easy walk to town if you’re able. The shuttle is convenient for longer distance destinations.
Always clean, staff is friendly and it’s to good to see employees who have been with Bayshore for a long time! It says a lot about the management!
