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.

This place was perfect, exactly what we needed! Karen and Peter are kind and friendly hosts. We really enjoyed the chance to get to know them and their sweet dog Sandy in the brief time that we were there and were excited to visit their antique shop before leaving town. We were happily surprised to find some very pretty Christmas decorations and fresh cookies when we arrived. The house was even larger and cuter in person. The place was spotless and filled with interesting books, model boats and cool knickknacks that kept us busy much of the weekend. Beds were comfortable, the linens were nice. The house had everything that we needed to settle in for a few days to play games and watch the ships pass by. The ships were amazing, much closer and more frequent than I expected. The kids were delighted to use the binoculars, books and posters in the house to identify each ship that passed.Overall this was an excellent weekend away, cozy and no stress. We will definitely be back!
