Excellent Property! The house is very unique , clean, and spacious with a wonderful view of the St. Clair River. It was the perfect location for a family get together and the kitchen had everything needed for a small potluck. Some walked to town to shop or get icecream. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening while watching freighters go by all lit up. Hostess was super nice and attentive, she allowed us to check in early , use their cornhole boards and camp chairs. I cant say enough nice things about this place, I highly recommend this property!

Harbor House

Harbor House has a wonderful view of the river and we enjoyed being able to walk to stores and restaurants. The owners were so pleasant and helpful. The house was spotless. This was a group of 3 siblings so we had plenty of room. The sunroom had a wonderful view but, if you actually had 10 people in the house, it would be good to have a better way of closing it off from the rest of the house.

Sooo relaxing!

We had such a relaxing stay in Marine City! The house was wonderful and all we needed to enjoy our stay. We rode our Harley Tri-Glide up and were able to safely park where we could see it which was important to us. A very short walk to the beach, hit up some antique shops, watched freighters & truly enjoyed the peace and quiet. We will definitely stay again!

Freighter Spotting and More

This spot is excellent for viewing frieghters!! In 3 nights we experienced close to thirty. Our weather was in the mid 60's, which made for misty October over-nights. The Freighters sounded their fog-horns during the night when they passed. It was 'spooky-fun'! Being close to town, we walked to our favorite food and shopping places. We will stay here again.
