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!
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!
Nice and cozy little place. The owner is very attentive and responds to messages almost instantly. House had all the essentials plus some treats for us when we arrived. We will definitely be staying here again. The kayaks were great too!
Wonderful property- great view of the freighters and great location. Very kind owners, easy check in and check out. The property had such a comfortable vibe - we slept well and it felt like home. We had a blast on the kayaks and a wonderful trip - thank you so much! Hope to see you next year!
Beautiful veiws of of the St. Mary's River and watch freighters go by, from inside the house or out on the lawn. Can grill and/ or use the fire pit. Kick back and R-E-L-A-X!

Why they chose this property
We have lived in this area for many years and enjoy the wonderful neighbors and freighters passing closely by. We are just outside of the City of Sault Ste. Marie limits but still very close to town. We enjoy having fires by the river and kayaking.
What makes this property unique
This property is very unique as it has neighbors close by but it is a very private setting with a private beach.
