This was what I had hoped for...a respite. The cottage was nice, the freighters magnificent, and I was rejuvinated. It was over new year's and doing puzzles and watching out the window was just what I needed. Great for my small dogs and sister.m.m.

Family Thanksgiving weekend
Our daughter attends LSSU so we came to her for the long holiday weekend. Darlene and Jim's place was perfect for our family of 4 and offered all that we needed. We cooked a few meals in the kitchen, enjoyed boat watching out the living room window and enjoyed watching the Thanksgiving football games on the large TV. A big convenience was having the washer and dryer which allowed us to return home with clean cloths. Communication was great! We got a LOT of snow during our stay and Jim did a fantastic job of ensuring the driveway and paths were clear during our stay. I believe on one of the days we battled the snow three times. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would certainly return again!

Quiet, clean, beautiful, the puctures don't do this property justice! Only minor complaint, was additional blankets would be great for those always cold people.

Great View of Freighters
The house is very nice. The furniture is comfortable, the TV had a good selection of channels. The yard is spacious and the view of the freighters going past on the river was awesome! The location was great; close to the locks, Rotary Park and the grocery store. Darlene was

The listing stated air conditioning. I thought that meant central air, not the small A/C unit in the kitchen window! How does VRBO monitor the accuracy of the listing?

The house location was ideal for our needs. I loved watching the freighters. The house was just a described with a few upgrades (washer and dryer) than what is pictured. Well equipped and beds were comfy. We definitely will be back!

Great location
What a great place to have as a home base for any Sault Ste. Marie experience. The drive into town is quick and scenic. If you just want to stay in, the views over the water are gorgeous and peaceful. Darlene is very responsive and helpful. Looking forward to returning for another stay to explore more of the UP!
