We loved the location and the accommodations. A very relaxing vacation watching freighters cruise by everyday (and night). The location serves as a great base to explore the eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We look forward to staying again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for providing such a great location. Watching the ships go by and having a great beach access was amazing. I would recommend this to anyone, but don't want to because I may have trouble reserving it for myself!

Our stay here was just the thing we needed...relaxing, quiet, peaceful. We spent the entire first day on the little beach, reading and watching freighters go by. Convenient to all the things we wanted to do and see.

Great stay for the 2nd time this year. Love the "big boats" and just the view in general. Very clean. The snacks and jelly were sweet! Had anything we needed. The host was very responsive, within minutes, of any question. Excited to book for next year!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would do so again if we are in the area. This place was quiet and relaxing. Although a road was closed to the quickest way to get to SSM, the detour was only 10 minutes longer. We spent time outside just watching the freighters from the property. You can also see them go by from sitting in the living room. So glad we found this gem and was available for our visit.

Very enjoyable stay! We only stayed 1 night but it was so fun to see the freighters go by on the St Marys River. The host provided snacks which was very thoughtful. We would recommend this place.

Charming indeed! The location, walk to the river, fire pit (along with the supplies) were perfect. We really appreciated the snacks and drinks that the host left for us to enjoy. There was even a jar of local honey that was a lovely surprise.

Great property on the shore of the river. I saw three freighters go by. The house was clean enough but is undergoing renovations. Most of the house is still awaiting reno. The bathroom is where the most help is needed. Please ditch the carpet around the toilet, for starters. But the shoreline is why you book this property. Quite and private!

This was a pleasant place to stay. The hosts are hospitable and the view is excellent for watching the freighters! There are parts of the home that are being redone but it doesnt impact the home's comfortability or functionality. We enjoyed our stay here!

Some things that could use improvement: the king mattress was uncomfortably soft, the bathroom needs a shelf above the vanity and hooks to hang towels. The kitchen was very well stocked with all flatware and cookware you might need. The reclining couch has issues with closing the footrest . Overall though, we really enjoyed our stay, especially the opportunity to view the big lake freighters sailing up and down the St. Mary's River and also enjoyed using the fire pit by the river.

The house is an older cottage, but clean, and it's obvious that they are trying to make it as comfortable and cute as possible. But our problem was the musty smell that hits you as soon as you walk in. The smell of mold/mildew set off my wife's asthma and by morning our chests were tight and we were both coughing. All the clothes in or out of the suitcase smelled like mold for the rest of the trip. It was junior hockey weekend in the Soo, so nothing else on Verbo was available and all the hotel rooms were at a premium price so I didn't even bother to look for a resolution. So this is not against the owners or Verbo at all, but to know up front that the house had a bad musty smell would have been nice, but who's gonna list that in the description...so that's why I'm giving you the heads up here.
