About this property

Historic Riverfront home with an amazing view

The Hart’s River House has a incredible view on the waterfront. Sits back off the main road more than 600 ft so traffic sounds are non existent aside from the freighters and boats on the river. Gives you a private and secluded feel all while still being close to many wonderful restraunts and stores for shopping. Many boats pass by the house from small sail boats to 1000 foot freighters from all over the world. Across the river is Canada.

There are 2 charming towns less than 3 miles in either direction with many interesting and delightful stores to visit along side some amazing restraunts with everything from simple comfort food to tasty meals that any foodie would enjoy

Ample parking including space for boat trailers. Boat lunch is about 2.5 miles away.

Dogs are more than welcome (max 2)... Sorry no cats. Must let us know if bringing a dog(s)... There are other dogs in the neighborhood..and we would just like to give the neighbors a heads up .

It was so relaxing sitting on the front porch watching the freighters on the river. House had everything we needed, and was very nice. The dogs next door didn't like our dog much and barked non stop at our dog, when outside . often wondered what it would be like to live by "yippy-yappy" dogs. Not good, but you can't always control some dogs. And it was only a few days. So, ok. Owner was very nice and friendly, and my dog loved her dogs! Good time, close to good restaurants.

Very beautiful… hated to leave! We spent our post wedding here after getting married at Saint Clair Inn. Loved the view and the freighters going by. The porch was beautiful for sunrise pictures and loved having bonfires by the water at night. Will definitely recommend this place to family and friends. Will love to visit again!

Extremely relaxing with amazing views

My husband and I enjoyed this beautiful house during Christmas. Danni and Justin even had a beautiful Christmas tree set up and decorated for us. We have children and grandchildren in the area so it was wonderful having family over for dinners and spending Christmas together. Had no issues at all and was very comfortable vacation.
