Serene

This was what I had hoped for...a respite. The cottage was nice, the freighters magnificent, and I was rejuvinated. It was over new year's and doing puzzles and watching out the window was just what I needed. Great for my small dogs and sister.m.m.

A Gem!

Quiet, clean, beautiful, the puctures don't do this property justice! Only minor complaint, was additional blankets would be great for those always cold people.

Family Thanksgiving weekend

Our daughter attends LSSU so we came to her for the long holiday weekend. Darlene and Jim's place was perfect for our family of 4 and offered all that we needed. We cooked a few meals in the kitchen, enjoyed boat watching out the living room window and enjoyed watching the Thanksgiving football games on the large TV. A big convenience was having the washer and dryer which allowed us to return home with clean cloths. Communication was great! We got a LOT of snow during our stay and Jim did a fantastic job of ensuring the driveway and paths were clear during our stay. I believe on one of the days we battled the snow three times. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would certainly return again!

Great location

What a great place to have as a home base for any Sault Ste. Marie experience. The drive into town is quick and scenic. If you just want to stay in, the views over the water are gorgeous and peaceful. Darlene is very responsive and helpful. Looking forward to returning for another stay to explore more of the UP!

River stay

This is a beautiful place right on the river, very clean and a nice yard. Bonus that it is dog friendly although mine ended up staying home. Slightly outside of town which we preferred so it was quieter.

Our favorite UP getaway!

We love staying here! Has quickly turned into our favorite UP getaway to watch the freighters and take our own boat on the river as the boat launch is just down the road.
