Wonderful Weekend

We had such a nice weekend. The home is beautiful and spotless, and everything is there that you could possibly need. The best part was seeing the ships go by - even in the winter. We will definitely stay here again, but next time we’ll stay longer!

Lovely spot for a getaway

Great opportunity to view the passing Great Lakes freighters, as well as watch the birds gather on the river. This house is well set up, and has all those little extras that makes a stay easier. We cooked a lot and had everything we needed. Lots of towels, comfy afghans in the living room, ziplock bags in case you need those… just very thoughtfully outfitted. We enjoyed the local area too - Marine City is fun to poke around in.

Excellent and well kept vacation rental!

We stayed here for a week and the listing was everything advertised. Clean, well maintained home with all the basics supplied to make it feel like you never left your own home. Owner was very professional and not over-communicative. If you're looking for a vacation rental you won't be disappointed.

Lovely Stay!

The host of this property provided everything we needed, even thoughtful details like binoculars to watch the water traffic and flashlights in each nightstand. We enjoyed playing the board games which were provided, watching freighters, strolling on the neighborhood walking/biking path, and going to the nearby beach. I had some trouble with VRBO; this trip never showed up in my account, but the host made everything work seamlessly.

Book it!

If you’re going to Algonac and are trying to find the “right” place, stop looking and book Graber’s Getaway. The house is spotless, it has everything you need for a short or long stay (well beyond the basics), and is ideally located on the St. Clair River. We stayed between Christmas and New Year and even in Algonac’s “off season” we had a great time.

Wonder Property with a great views of the boats.

Our family rents a property each year for vacation. This was the best property we have stayed at by far. Tammi, was a great and helpful host. Tammi went above and beyond when it came to making sure the house has everything a guest would need.

Great View

Our family had a wonderful time staying at this property. The view of the river and watching the freighters go by was spectacular. The house was very clean, well stocked and Tammi was very responsive on my questions before we booked. My only comment for those towing a boat, backing in the driveway was doable but tight. You might check that out if you are bringing a boat. Having said that we would stay here again.

An A+ Property and Experience!

Graber's Getaway was everything it promised to be! A splendid, exceptionally clean property with comfortable beds and all the amenities of home. The snacks, coffee and can "koozies" were a delightful and thoughtful touch. The view of the river (catch the sun rise!) and neighboring Canada from the comfort of a plush chair, while having morning coffee, was the epitome of relaxation. And the freighter traffic was an experience not to be missed: totally amazing! Thank you Tammi for sharing your wonderful home: wish we could have stayed longer!

Sweet home

Very nice property and location. The street was a little more busy than I thought it would be but I believe that was due to the holiday weekend. But I enjoyed the lakeview and watching the freighters! The kitchen had everything we needed and the property was very clean and nicely decorated. Communication with owner was excellent! Would definitely recommend 😊

Whoosah

This property was a 10 out of 10. If you want to relax and regroup this home is perfect. My husband and I enjoyed the modern beautifully decorated home. The view. The view. I had to say it twice it was everything. The rain clouds dispersed and we had a starry night wirh a water view. Magnificent. This location will be on repeat.
