About this property

Raber Bay Retreat**Waterfront**kayaks,dock

Cozy and clean waterfront home on Raber Bay. Enjoy the view from the large living room windows, front deck or lawn. Enjoy kayaking, fishing, boating, birdwatching and more in a peaceful setting. The shoreline is a mixture of rocks, sand and clay. Water shoes are recommended.
The home is a single level home requiring 3 steps to enter the home. The home has a wood burning fireplace and a large laundry room. A fish cleaning shack is located on the property.
This amazing getaway is positioned at the end of a short, private road. The driveway is circular and there is ample parking for vehicles and trailers. The home is conveniently located between the 2 public boat launches in Raber. A private boat launch is just down the road for a minimal fee.
The home is equipped with WiFi and a smart TV in the living room. A mini split air conditioning unit cools the main living areas of the home. Each bedroom has a fan for your comfort.
***During the winter, Raber Bay can be accessed from the property by snowmobile, cross country skis or snowshoes.
During warmer months (when the ice is gone!), a dock is on site for your small fishing boat. 4 kayaks and 2 paddle boards are available for guests to explore the nearby island, shore line and bay. An outdoor firepit is available for guests to enjoy. Firewood is provided for guests.
Drummond Island, Sault Ste. Marie and St. Ignace are all within an hour drive from the house.

Beautiful location, very clean and comfortable. The house is stocked with everything you may need on your stay (except your food)! The host was very easy to get ahold of and replaced a broken coffee maker within an hour of me texting. Plus, the beds were super comfortable! There was also a dock to tie our duck boat up to AND it’s pet friendly. It was a perfect stay. We will be back!!
