Freighter Spotting and More
This spot is excellent for viewing frieghters!! In 3 nights we experienced close to thirty. Our weather was in the mid 60's, which made for misty October over-nights. The Freighters sounded their fog-horns during the night when they passed. It was 'spooky-fun'! Being close to town, we walked to our favorite food and shopping places. We will stay here again.

The perfect weekend spot to host a small family celebration!
We could not be more thankful to have found The Harbor House! A true gem, it was the perfect spot to host my husband’s surprise 40th celebration with our closest family and friends, some who traveled from Europe for the event! The parking was immensely convenient, the children enjoyed the proximity to the park and beach, and we all enjoyed watching the freighters pass by! The smart TV allowed us to show a special video we made of friends/family from afar wishing him a happy birthday. The kitchen was well equipped to host a small pot luck style meal and some competitive games at the table. The backyard was spacious and the seating was convenient. The house has amazing airflow with the windows open, and we enjoyed the night breezes off the river. Our walks into town for our breakfasts, a late night dinner, and some extra candy and popcorn treats were just delightful. Comfortable bedding, clean, inviting…we just can’t say enough!

Sooo relaxing!
We had such a relaxing stay in Marine City! The house was wonderful and all we needed to enjoy our stay. We rode our Harley Tri-Glide up and were able to safely park where we could see it which was important to us. A very short walk to the beach, hit up some antique shops, watched freighters & truly enjoyed the peace and quiet. We will definitely stay again!

Lovely Home with Amazing View
My husband and I stayed 1 week at this property and were very sad to have to leave and go back to our chaotic lives. The intent was to have a relaxing, stress-free vacation and Harbor House did not disappoint. We spent a good time relaxing by the river, reading and watching the freighters and Great Lakes Cruise ships pass by at all hours. We visited the little shops and restaurants within walking distance from the house and drove to other small towns within 1/2 hour to 1 hour distance. Everything within the house was amazing, from the cute decor, to everything we needed in each room. Nothing was lacking, and everything was very clean. It was very roomy and very comfortable. We appreciated the air conditioner in the bedroom at night, the firepit in the back, the front porch with adirondack chairs for cooling down and sipping wine, the Alexa for playing our music and the close proximity to everything. The hosts were very friendly and responsive and we even got to meet Adam the second day we were there. Overall our stay exceeded our expectations and we would definitely stay again!
