We have stayed at this home for the past 5 years. We enjoy time on the water with the pontoon boat and jet skis. We also bring our own boat and tube. We also do a lot of fishing as well. There is plenty of space inside and out for yard games and meals together etc. Mark and Joyce are gracious hosts. They do everything possible to make our stay delightful and relaxing.

Great family vacation.

Great place to stay on the water. Everything you need for a fun family vacation. As a grandpa of several teenagers the jet skis keep the kids entertained, allowing me to take advantage of the outstanding fishing. Although the check in process is a little long Mark and Joyce are great hosts taking the time to make sure everyone was comfortable operating the equipment. Already looking foward to next year. Thank you for a memorable vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Mark or Joyce McLennan

Host profile image

Hi, we're Mark and Joyce McLennan. This home was our residence for 9 years and we lived here and raised our 6 children. We never lived in a prettier place. We currently reside in Shelby Township and know the house.

Why they chose this property

This bay is one of the finest fishing spots on Lake St. Clair. St. John's marsh is an excellent place to canoe and view the birds, mammals, and amphibians of the wetlands Also, it's far enough away from the city that you avoid watercraft congestion and insanity on the water. Water quality is excellent in the area. Most water front property lack parking-we have plenty! Restaurants abound and Canada is about 7 miles away. by ferry.

What makes this property unique

The sunsets over the water are spectacular!! Sand bottom lake is great for swimming. If you're into fishing or water sports you will be in paradise. Never run out of things to see as you can literally circle the globe by water from our home.
