We had a wonderful stay at this lovely place near the river. The location was peaceful and offered beautiful views, making it a perfect spot to relax. One of the highlights was watching the freighters and other boats pass by—it was surprisingly fun and added a unique touch to our visit. We found ourselves frequently checking the marine traffic app to see when the next vessel would come through, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone who loves being close to the water and watching river traffic!

Our stay was way too short!! One week was not enough!!If you're a Boatnerd you'll love watching all the Lake Freighters, Coast Guard Vessels and others going by. The house was well equipped for cooking in and the beds and living areas very comfortable. The Soo Locks are less than 4 miles away as is the shopping district for souvenirs and a cup of your favorite coffee or a meal. Thanks for the privilege of staying in this beautiful home.

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.
