Vintage two story home right on the St. Clair River. Neat and clean and very conveniently equipped with all the necessities for your stay. Three senond floor bedrooms, one a twin. Wonderful second floor room facing the River; perfect for watching the freighters go by. Dock, deck, and nice yard. If you’re fond of antiques, especially marine-time items the home could qualify as a museum. Also vintage golf memorabilia. Lots to see. Very congenial hosts.

Fishing Trip Headquarters

What an awesome stay! The place was just as advertised and the hosts were just as gracious as the reviews indicated. There were 6 of us for a fishing trip and we had everything we needed. Location was great...just south of the MC launch. Sure hope we can duplicate this 4 day stay again. Thanks for the great experience!

Awesome rental

This is a wonderful property. The hosts are gracious and welcoming. If you are a freighter maven like my husband and I, this is the place to be. It's right on the St. Clair River, and you can watch the freighters go by day and night. This is our fourth stay at this location, and we are already planning to go back next year.

Very nice house with gorgeous water view

Very nice clean, big, house with with a great views of the water. We were only two but there was lots of space for a big family to spread out. The owners were very friendly (and so were their dogs!) and available to answer any questions we had. Would love to go again when its warm enough to swim.

Merry time Christmas

A girls' trip to Marine City for their Merry time Christmas day. We love the shops and restaurants in downtown and Pete is a great host. The house is very clean and comfortable. He had it decorated for Christmas which was so appreciated. This is our third stay at this property and would stay again.

Still a great place to stay

We love this property. This was our 3rd year to stay, and we will be back for year 4 next year. It has a wonderful old cottage feel, which reminds me of the cottage I grew up with. The hosts, Pete and Karen, are delightful. Thanks, Pete and Karen! See you next year!
