Next Door Neighbor

We thought we better introduce you to our next door neighbor before you arrive at the Bay City General Store Hotel or cabin. You might want to draw your curtains (what a quaint term -- draw your curtains, sure can't take everything literally with the English language) before you retire for the evening. It's our understanding he does have an eagle eye! We are always enchanted, not to mention awe-struck, when one of these soars over the river in front of our house. We practically wear binoculars around our necks here because you never know what you are going to see on the river. Like last year when we woke up to a huge flock of birds floating on the river in front of our house for as far as the eye could see -- PELICANS!! Lots of them and snow white! We thought we'd had a change in latitude during the night. They stayed with us for a couple of weeks and then moved on. Come see us and meet our neighbors!

Rush Hour

Just a word of caution to guests arriving at the Bay City General Store Hotel or Bay City Cabin --you might want to get an early start to avoid our rush hour traffic.

What are these gals smiling about?

What are these two gals smiling about? Well, for starters, they are smiling because they have taken up residence in the Bay City General Store on the banks of the Ohio River. Why does that make them smile you say? They are enjoying the slower pace, the peace and quiet and the nostalgia in the Bay City General Store makes everyone smile. ATTITUDES just melt at the door. Annnnnnnnd, they are smiling because it is raining in Bay City. At least I think it's rain. It has been so long since we have seen rain, but I'm pretty sure I'd still recognize it. Hope it settles in for the day........and so do these two gals. Although they are very content in the Bay City General Store they hope to one day very soon grace someone's glorious display of fall mums, gourds and pumpkins. Adoption papers for these two gals are available at the front counter in the Bay City General Store...stop by this weekend and let us put a smile on your face too.

This is your wake-up call!



This is the Bay City General Store and Lodging alarm clock -- no batteries required. No nasty BUZZZZZZZZZ! Just a gentle, warm nudge into the day! You must admit -- a much nicer wake-up call than a cold phone ringing in your ear with a computer voice telling you to wake up. This is just one of the many pleasures our guests experience when they stay at the Bay City General Store Hotel or cabin. More information is available at www.baycitystoreandlodgingohioriver.com Time to put on the complimentary pot of coffee. See you later!
