About this property
On Cedarville Bay 3 Bed/2 Bath Nautical Paradise
This location was home to a Historical Boat Shop owned by Burton Norton who built and restored classic wooden boats next to Cedarville Bay in the early 1900's. The boathouse was built in the 1980's and features living quarters that now comprise the rental available for you to experience. The home is decorated in a nautical theme and there are numerous nautical items, pictures, etc adorning the walls. In addition there is a large number of books and magazines with nautical and other topics. Keeping with the nautical history and theme, the galley (kitchen), heads (bathrooms), and mess (dining nook) areas are compact but functional. In contrast, the living room is open and spacious and very open with the wall of sliding glass windows opening onto the deck providing an amazing view.
The rental features panoramic views of the heart of Cedarville Bay and the Les Cheneaux Islands on a 2018 newly renovated channel side Deck! The views from the deck on the third level are magnificent, as can be seen in some of the pictures.
The unit is a tri-level with 3 Bedrooms. On the first floor Bedroom 1 has a double bed and two twin beds, bedroom 2 has a double bed, and the bathroom on the first floor has a full bath. On the second floor is the master bedroom featuring a new queen sized bed. The second floor sleeping area off the dining room has a day bed and a full bath on the second floor.
Please note that there are spiral stairs in this unit to get to the upstairs living areas. The third story is really only a half story above the second story and is connected by a partial spiral staircase.
The Boathouse contains a 30x30 indoor/covered slip for anyone wishing to bring their boat. The boathouse area is accessible from an outside door as well as from a door on the 1st floor.

Check in easy, host was very good and checked in to see how it was going. We’re aware of many things about the property. Front door very old worked with a skeleton key that you can only lock from the inside and door had to be opened with a good bump of the hip, upstairs floor slants, tiny kitchen, spiral stair cases, etc. While house was extremely unique enjoyed the oddities. However we felt that it was lacking in general upkeep of the facility. You know, little things that need fixing around the house.
Central location to many great destinations. Lovely home and amazing town full of friendly people. Beautiful views and space for all activities at the house. Water is nice and the view at night of the stars is something to behold. We all love going as a group and cant wait for the next trip.
We weren't sure what to expect from the photos, but chose this house because it is right on the water and is close to where our friends live. We are glad we did. The house is truly unique, with plenty of room for large groups, and the view is spectacular. We plan on coming back next summer.
Very nice spot, deck was amazing, antiques and old maps were added bonus. We rented a pontoon one day and used the boat house. It was handy.
Only drawback- I would invest in new mattresses for downstairs rooms but everything else was good.
Thanks for a memorable trip.

Great deck
Lots of space. Great location. Great deck, view and gas fire pit. Great washer and dryer. The windows hadn’t been washed in a long time and were covered with spiders and dozens of large spider nests. This is an easy fix. Bring extra drinking water, as water from facet isn’t safe to drink. Owners were responsive.
The views from the deck are stunning, and the hosts generously provided propane for the grill and firepit. However, several issues detract from the stay. The dock shown in the photos is not part of the property, and this isn’t disclosed until after booking. The interior is functional but doesn't quite match the expectations set by the pictures. Issues included blinds in the kitchen that couldn’t be closed, missing electrical outlet covers, a non-functional upstairs shower due to leaking into the downstairs bathroom, and a leaking kitchen sink requiring towels to be placed underneath. Additionally, the fridge froze most of our food, and the controls were missing. The water for the house is pumped from the lake, which we were only informed of after a water outage. The hosts were responsive and came to adjust the pump, but the lack of notice was frustrating. The house itself noticeably slants, especially on the third floor. While the views are indeed beautiful, the price doesn't justify the many hazards and inconveniences. Lastly, communication was inconsistent, with multiple check-in sheets listing different contacts. The hosts were friendly and responsive to issues, but we won’t be returning despite the town and scenery being exceptional.
The owners were super helpful and pleasant helping with our questions and needs. It’s centrally located to everything you’d want to do in the Islands area. When we return we’ll stay there!
Our family gathered for a very special get together honoring a passed loved one. The deck and view is out of this world. Super responsive to inquiries and needs of water, propane and trash needing attention. We managed fine; but it's a 3 story accessible with 2 sets of stairs/ could be difficult with someone compromised. Kitchen could use a little sprucing up/ liners in cabinets and some updated cookware-. Will absolutely stay here again as the deck and boathouse are an incredible gem for this area!
Amazing amount of nautical history at this home! The location is great and the the deck overlooking the bay is absolutely the best part of the home. The boat garage is a close second ... so cool to dock boat right inside the house! would highly recommend to bring a boat, or rent one... the Les Cheneaux Islands are and awesome place to boat & fish.
Beautiful fun place to stay! Peaceful place to relax with everything you need. Everything else is local enough and easy to get to or go to places. 2nd year going and can't wait until next year already!!!

Location location location! The house is not spacious, but the deck makes up for it.
We bring our own boat. Cruising Huron is wonderful.

We try to make it clear from the size and pictures that our boathouse is a one of a kind, unique place to visit. Tri level and vintage with new updates from 2021 spring. It is very unique and quaint but glad you enjoyed your stay!
The location and view were amazing. The house could use some cleaning and updates. Even a power wash to the outside and removal of the abandoned vehicle would have made a great difference.
the property was just fantastic. able to dock our boats in the boat house was a unique experience. The total ambiance was just fantastic. The fishing could have been a touch better, but overall a great time. Thank You
