A place by the water

The host was gracious and had great communication. The place was clean and spacious. We needed salt for the sidewalk and extra toilet paper but they were both easy to locate in the hall closet and cupboards. Thank you for the sticker and postcard gifts!

Cozy, Comfortable, Clean w/ Amazing Views - we loved it here!

What a cozy lil house with fantastic river views, right out the living room window! Within minutes of getting there we were greeted with a huge freighter going by. We loved the big comfy couch and huge TV. Everything was very clean and well-kept. The owners were great, with good communication and allowed us to check in a little early. They had all the fresh snow cleaned up on walkways before we arrived. Very convenient location to town, on a beautiful large lot right on the river. We would love to come back and experience this place in the summer!

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.

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!
