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!

Great stay for our family and close to town to see the locks and dine. We had a peaceful night by the fire stargazing and watched the moonrise. The freighters were fun to watch as well!

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.
