Awesome rental
This is a wonderful property. The hosts are gracious and welcoming. If you are a freighter maven like my husband and I, this is the place to be. It's right on the St. Clair River, and you can watch the freighters go by day and night. This is our fourth stay at this location, and we are already planning to go back next year.

Fishing Trip Headquarters
What an awesome stay! The place was just as advertised and the hosts were just as gracious as the reviews indicated. There were 6 of us for a fishing trip and we had everything we needed. Location was great...just south of the MC launch. Sure hope we can duplicate this 4 day stay again. Thanks for the great experience!

Still a great place to stay
We love this property. This was our 3rd year to stay, and we will be back for year 4 next year. It has a wonderful old cottage feel, which reminds me of the cottage I grew up with. The hosts, Pete and Karen, are delightful. Thanks, Pete and Karen! See you next year!

My go to vacation ; A piece of heaven Few weeks ago, We had a wonderful summer weekend with my family staying at Pete and Karen’s property, who were amazing hosts. We had a great time there, playing , eating, going sightseeing and more. Words can’t describe how wonderful, warm and friendly they are. They took care of everything even the smallest ones such as providing children with different type of games and board games which , Pete and Karen extremely kid and nice to my son and their adorable dog “Sandy” was so friendly and played with my son. The cottage was extremely beautiful and surrounded by the river and trees. Having easy access to grocery, restaurants and antiques shops. I really recommend this beautiful place if you want to have quality time with your Family sitting on the deck and having sip of wine. Another point about the exotic place if like sunny weather. I would highly recommend you to go there on your summer vacation. If you have kids this is where you definitely go. If there were more than five star I could give him 10.

Family Christmas Get Away
Great place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The property owners Pete and Karen were very gracious and made sure we felt at home. We want to especially thank them for the Christmas tree and decorations. The house furnishings are very charming, with attention to nautical and golf themes. If you enjoy ship viewing, this is the place to be, the viewing rooms (upstairs and downstairs) are the perfect place for ship viewing, reading or playing games with the family. We would definitely come back during the summer.

Beautiful view and property
Wonderful from start to finish. The hosts were very friendly, providing everything we needed from start to finish. We even had chocolate chip cookies to greet us. We enjoyed the views of the river and the fishing right of the dock. A wonderful place to sit and enjoy the freighters and boats pass by. An added bonus was to meet Sandy, the sweet dog of the hosts. She was a doll. :) Everything was clean and the house was well stocked with all we needed for our stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would love to return someday. Thanks for a great experience!
