Rental unit in Thunder Bay
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 84 reviewsCozy top floor apartment
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Stephanie‘s. We had no problems checking in even though we arrived late. She was very responsive when I had a few questions. Will try to stay here again next time we are in Thunder Bay.

5 out of 5 average rating, 40 reviewsWelcome to Kelly's Hangar!
We loved Kelly’s Hangar, very clean and was cozy. Kelly was very responsive and friendly. Loved the decor throughout the home and the games in the basement. We liked staying at her place. However, Thunder Bay wasn’t what we expected, there was trash all over the neighborhood and people weren’t as courteous to us outsiders.

Nina was an incredibly gracious, generous, intentional, kind and thoughtful host. We were travelling with a baby and Nina provided some extra baby items that made the stay more comfortable and easy. Her communication was timely and proactive. Her space was beautifully curated and clean. We enjoyed our stay immensely thank you Nina! We really enjoyed Thunder Bay, what a beautiful place to visit.

We loved our stay! So many walkable restaurants - absolutely the best part of our stay. The battery died in the lock and Brittany arrived in-person within 5 minutes to resolve. Perfect for our hiking trip - would stay again for location alone.

Jon was a perfect host and this house on the outskirts of Thunder Bay was the ideal home-away-from-home for me and my family while we visited the city and the area. I couldn't be happier with the stay and Jon's hospitality -- top notch!

This is the best Air bnb I have ever stayed at ! Beautifully decorated with so many thoughtful extras. I’d say it felt like staying at a friend’s gorgeous home more than a rental. Amazing, thank you.
