Great location in the Soo. House is big enough for a small family like ours. Nice sandy beach area right on the river with colored rocks you'd expect in the UP.

The property was super clean and very comfortable. The view of the freighters on the St. Mary's River was amazing! We loved sitting by the water with a nice fire to keep us warm. The dry firewood provided was excellent since we had a lot of rain during our stay. All the little touches like snacks and smores fixin's were very much appreciated.

Cute little house. Clean and quiet. Watching the freighters go by in the front yard was amazing. We saw six go by and missed a few more. They are amazingly quiet! House was well stocked and comfortable. Would stay again!

Host profile image
We are a mother son team and have lived in the Sault area for many years. Traci is the mother of the team and lives right next door to the property. Ryan is the son of the team and lives a few miles down the road. We look forward to having you as guests and for you to enjoy the beautiful Sault Ste Marie.

Why they chose this property

We have lived in this area for many years and enjoy the wonderful neighbors and freighters passing closely by. We are just outside of the City of Sault Ste. Marie limits but still very close to town. We enjoy having fires by the river and kayaking.

What makes this property unique

This property is very unique as it has neighbors close by but it is a very private setting with a private beach.
