We had a great stay! The location is perfect for exploring the Soo and Canada. Watching the freighters pass right in front of the house was fantastic. Would definitely stay again.
Our stay was absolutely amazing!! The house was exactly what we needed. The host was very hospitable and accommodating. Very peaceful, quiet, relaxing getaway. Saw lots of ships go by and close to town. Can't wait to come back!
The property was super clean and very comfortable. The view of the freighters on the St. Mary's River was amazing! We loved sitting by the water with a nice fire to keep us warm. The dry firewood provided was excellent since we had a lot of rain during our stay. All the little touches like snacks and smores fixin's were very much appreciated.
This is a very comfortable place. It isn't fancy, but neither are we. We were impressed with all the amenities, the neighborhood, and especially the ability to view the freighters passing by. Communication and access were extremely smooth.
Cute little house. Clean and quiet. Watching the freighters go by in the front yard was amazing. We saw six go by and missed a few more. They are amazingly quiet! House was well stocked and comfortable. Would stay again!
Check in went smoothly. Place is very clean. Host had snacks which were very appreciative. A box to make Smores which we didn't. But awesome gesture. Host was spot on when we needed batteries for remote. Which was the only reason we needed to. The kitchen was very well equipped. Bathroom had plenty of towels an supplies also. The freighters were so cool to watch. With the app Marine Traffic we knew when they were comin. Very close to everything. Would Love to stay again when we get back up this way.

The site is exceptional with a large riverside lawn and river view of freighters going by day and night. Very cool. The interior was clean, however, on entering the house, there was an overpowering and annoying smell coming from three plug in air fresheners which lingered well after we unplugged them and which had us wondering if there was something else being masked. The interior is also an unfinished work in process, which we were somewhat cautioned about after booking, but before our arrival date, though that should be moot by next year when they are finished with the renovations. Finally, the bathroom/laundry room had the cheapest toilet paper available, a small, but easily avoidable annoyance that every guest will notice.
This is as perfect for our one night stay in town! What a cozy and clean place! We even got to see a freighter go by! We would definitely like to come back in the summer.
Great stay for our family and close to town to see the locks and dine. We had a peaceful night by the fire stargazing and watched the moonrise. The freighters were fun to watch as well!
The house was exactly what we were looking for. Tracy was very hospitable, and even though we didn't need to contact her for anything, knowing she was right next door gave us confidence that we wouldn't have any problems.
Great location in the Soo. House is big enough for a small family like ours. Nice sandy beach area right on the river with colored rocks you'd expect in the UP.
Charming cottage right on the water where you can see the big ships pass by! The host left snacks and smores supplies for guests which was such a nice surprise. The place was perfect for a small family get away. We would definitely recommend!
