Ship Watcher's Paradise pÄ St. Clair River

The St. Clair River House lockar dig att tillbringa en idyllisk semester pÄ stranden av St. Clair River. VÄrt historiska men ÀndÄ ombyggda och uppdaterade hem Àr den perfekta blandningen av klassisk charm, perfekt miljö vid vattnet och överdÄdig lyx. Vi Àr specialiserade pÄ att erbjuda en anpassad semesterupplevelse för familjegrupper, par och andra grupper upp till 10 personer. LÀs vÄra recensioner och boka med förtroende, eftersom de bÀsta sommardagarna vanligtvis fyller ett Är i förvÀg och vÄra vinterpriser inte kan slÄ!

Vi blev först förĂ€lskade i detta avbrott pĂ„ floden nĂ€r vi flyttade till sydöstra Michigan för att arbeta tillbaka 2009. Överraskningen av att se Karibien-blĂ„tt vatten och nyfikenheten att titta pĂ„ ett tusen fotfartyg framför oss var hĂ€pnadsvĂ€ckande. Det blev vĂ„r dröm att leva pĂ„ stranden av den skönheten, och vi hade turen att fĂ„ drömmen att bli verklighet. Det fanns sĂ„ mĂ„nga smĂ„ överraskningar att vi fortfarande saknar, som att höra drönen frĂ„n skeppshorn pĂ„ en dimmig natt, fĂ„nga en vĂ„gstrĂ€cka direkt frĂ„n bryggan pĂ„ vĂ„ren eller titta pĂ„ kustbevakningen bryta is pĂ„ vintern. Vi har haft denna idylliska miljö i flera Ă„r tills en ny jobbbyte drog oss nĂ€rmare staden, men St Clair River House Ă€r fortfarande en del av vĂ„ra hjĂ€rtan. Vi vill nu dela vĂ„r kĂ€rlek till detta underbara omrĂ„de med er alla.

The St. Clair River House byggdes som en stuga 1925 som en Detroiters fritidshus. Mycket av den historiska charmen frÄn stugan ÄterstÄr, med en vedeldad eldstad som fortfarande framtrÀder som mittpunkten i den öppna planlösningen ner. De tre smÄ sovrummen pÄ övervÄningen har alla Ätminstone delvis utsikt över floden och visar till och med lite arkitektoniska detaljer i sitt ursprungliga gipsarbete. Som du kan förvÀnta dig frÄn en stuga frÄn 1930-talet finns det nÄgra omrÄden med ofullstÀndig passform och finish. Men modern komfort, bekvÀmlighet och skönhet lyser igenom i det nyligen ombyggda köket och badrummen. Dusch med flera huvud, vacker stensten, en jacuzzi-badkar och ett uppvÀrmt golv pÄ övervÄningen kommer att transportera dig frÄn stugan till ett lyxigt spa. Grannar Àr nÀra dessa flodstrÀnder, och vi har nÄgra av de bÀsta pÄ bÄda sidor om huset. Med det förvÀntar vi oss gÀster som respekterar lugnet och skönheten pÄ denna underbara plats. Vi hoppas att du Àlskar det lika mycket som vi gör.

Mini vacation

We really enjoyed staying here. Being on the river, watching the boats go by was very relaxing. The house and furnishings were a little older, but overall there were little details (technology, appliances), delicious coffee and homemade waffle mix that just made our stay delightful. We hope to go back in the summer when we can stay outside more. Highly recommend this VRBO.

Great location but needs some upgrades

This would have been the perfect weekend getaway had we not come across any ticks and other insects which were spotted on the 2 beds. Nice little place right on the St. Clair River but it needs some serious cleaning/disinfection for bugs and insects.

cottage - St. Clair river

the cottage and the host were perfect. The neighbors wonderful. The scenery, couldn't be better. Wonderful fish dinners in Marine city. This is a place for relaxation, totally. The ONLY thing we did not care for was all the old fabric couches - should be covered in washable covers - kinda creepy to us. But don't let that stop you- the cottage will not disappoint!

What a great few days, the beautiful sunrises from the sunroom (with a gift of great coffee) and the freighters! We saw so many going through the river. Andrew was very responsive to any questions we had, the house was perfect. I packed way too much, everything we needed was there for us!

Great place to stay! Dock Fishing

We stayed for an extended weekend with 3 families. The bedroom with the bunk beds worked great for my family of four and the other two families used the other bedrooms and brought pack n' plays for their littles. There was more than enough room throughout the house for everyone. The deck on the back of the house was great to spend time and watch ships go by. Fishing off the dock was great, my kids caught so many fish (nothing keeper size but they enjoyed themselves). We brought boats to explore the river and make it down to St. Clair Lake, there are two boat launches close to the house which made it easy to access the water. The host was very responsive and great with communicating. I would recommending staying here if you are visiting this area.

Great Find

The St. Clair River House is perfectly described both for what it is like inside and for what you can see on the river. If there is river traffic you can’t miss it because it’s in your backyard and the computer tracking provided makes sure you don’t miss anything coming your way. Plenty of seating for relaxing, making/sharing a meal was easy and a TV with cable provided was simple to use which isn’t always the case. Andrew’s description of this delightful dog friendly home is accurate. He was a great host and we will definitely be back.

Great Location and ample space!

The house was exactly as described and the view did not disappoint. The kitchen and bathrooms were very nice and well stocked. It was only two of us so we didn't need three bedrooms but there is a lot of sleeping area for larger groups. The bedroom we stayed in had a window AC unit but the others would have been a bit warm since it was almost 90 each day. We also thought the bed was very comfortable. My only disappointment was the condition of the furniture. The livingroom and patio furniture could use some upgrades but it wouldn't stop me from rebooking for next year. You can't beat the view if you enjoy watching boats and freighters. There was always a lot of activity to watch. And it is in the middle of Algonac and Marine City which was a bonus. Highly recommend.

Cozy, clean, and serene

This beautiful home on the St. Clair River offers a peaceful, relaxing setting. The house is situated right on the water, with a spectacular views. Inside, the home is spacious and open with large windows to continue enjoying the gorgeous scenery. The bedrooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated. Outside, the large deck spans the entire back of the house overlooking the river. It's the ideal spot for grilling, dining al fresco, or simply sitting back and watching the boats sail by. Overall, this is a one-of-a-kind property for enjoying the serenity and natural beauty of the St. Clair River. It would be ideal for a family vacation, weekend getaway, or full-time residence. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this special home and highly recommend it to others looking for a peaceful retreat on the water.

Relaxing 11-day Getaway

The view from the cottage is wonderful! So relaxing looking at the water and watching the freighters and pleasure crafts go by. The huge windows across the front allow for views from most of the downstairs areas. The kitchen appliances are great. A new refrigerator was delivered three days into our stay. Along with it came new furniture for the sunroom including a sectional, two corner chairs and an ottoman as well as a new recliner for the living room (these replaced the brown sofas, ottoman and older recliner). This should help address some concerns noted in earlier reviews about the comfort and condition of the furniture. Additionally we saw no evidence of bugs at all during our long stay. The lot is narrow, neighbors are very close which may be helpful to know for those with children and/or pets (though no issues for us). The bathrooms are top-notch. Linens and towels deluxe. Check-in/access was easy which we always appreciate. We frequently stay in rentals and this one was especially nice and offered us a convenient location to do all we want to in the area from Marine City to New Baltimore.

Amazing Home with Fantastic Location and Owners

Words cannot begin to describe how wonderful the home, location and owners of this property are! If you are looking for a rental in this area, look no further as this is undoubtedly the best there is. We were in town for an event at the Algonac State Park and the location was perfect. The home is tastefully decorated and stocked with everything you could need and the recent renovations updated the home yet it still retains its cottage like charm. The pictures of the home posted here really do not do it justice as it is hard to truly capture the condition and size of the home and views that await you. Andrew (the owner) was fantastic and readily available to remedy the minor issues that we had which were primarily due to the fact that we were the first renters of the property. While at the home were were also fortunate enough to meet the neighbors which are also wonderful people and fun to chat with. We are frequent renters via VRBO and this was one of the best overall experiences that we have ever had!! I highly recommend this property if you are in the area to visit, relax or fish the fantastic St. Clair river. We will definitely be back next year...

Super Place

My wife/I stayed here for 4 nights with our Schnauzer, Lulu. What a great find, right on the main shipping channel in the St Clair River. The house was completely furnished with all the necessities, except food, of course. They evenhad a washer/dryer at our dispoal. It is close proximity to Algonac, Marine City,St Clair,and Maryville. St Clair was especially nice where they have a gigantic food mall that overlooks a play area for the kids and the St Clair River for boat watchers. There is a hospital just 10 miles north of the house. Deiving M29 follows the river all the way up to Pt Huron, very scenic. Sitting on the back porch was like heaven, watching the ships and cars driving in the other side of the river in Canada. Hrowing up my family used tocome up to my Aunt/Uncles place in Algonac back in the 60s. This stay briught back a lot of those great memories Very quiet and the neighbors are very nice. We will definitely be staying here again inthe future.

Andrew & Susie Àr vÀrd

VĂ€rdens profilbild
While this profile only lists me, it would be more apt to list us. The St. Clair River House has grown as a labor of love undertaken by my wife Susie and I. As the listing states, we began our time in this area living in the House, and have kept it in our family to share it with you all. We both have full-time "real" jobs and do this in our spare time, and endeavor to make your stay at our former home as special as the time we have spent there. We have four small boys who regularly "help" us with work on the house, and there's a good chance if you need any in-person hosting that you may meet one of them!

Our life here in southeast Michigan is inextricably connected to the water, and this shines through on the experience we strive to bring to you. Whether its watching a freighter from a distance from the deck of the house, casting a line from the end of the dock, renting one of our available boats to get in the water, or going on a captained trip to be underway right next to a freighter, we're excited to help you craft your perfect vacation!

Language note: ÂĄTengo muy poco espanol, y es muy mal!

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

We first fell in love with this respite on the river when moving to southeast Michigan for work back in 2009. The surprise of seeing Caribbean-blue water and curiosity of watching a thousand foot ship right in front of us was awe-inspiring. It became our dream to live on the banks of that beauty, and we were lucky enough to make the dream come true. There were so many little surprises that we still miss, like hearing the drone of ships' horns on a foggy night, catching a walleye right from the dock in the spring, or watching the Coast Guard break ice in the winter. We enjoyed this idyllic setting for several years until another job change pulled us closer to the city, but the St Clair River House remains a part of our hearts. We now want to share our love of this wonderful area with all of you.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

There are few options for accommodations in this world that offer what the St. Clair River House does- an international shipping lane and crystal blue water mere feet from your picture windows. This is enjoyed from a house with recent updates and an open floor plan that easily accommodates 8 adults, all for slightly more per night than you would spend at local hotels.
