About this house rental
This location was home to a Historical Boat Shop owned by Burton Norton who built and restored classic wooden boats next to Cedarville Bay in the early 1900's. The boathouse was built in the 1980's and features living quarters that now comprise the rental available for you to experience. The home is decorated in a nautical theme and there are numerous nautical items, pictures, etc adorning the walls. In addition there is a large number of books and magazines with nautical and other topics. Keeping with the nautical history and theme, the galley (kitchen), heads (bathrooms), and mess (dining nook) areas are compact but functional. In contrast, the living room is open and spacious and very open with the wall of sliding glass windows opening onto the deck providing an amazing view.
The rental features panoramic views of the heart of Cedarville Bay and the Les Cheneaux Islands on a 2018 newly renovated channel side Deck! The views from the deck on the third level are magnificent, as can be seen in some of the pictures.
The unit is a tri-level with 3 Bedrooms. On the first floor Bedroom 1 has a double bed and two twin beds, bedroom 2 has a double bed, and the bathroom on the first floor has a full bath. On the second floor is the master bedroom featuring a new queen sized bed. The second floor sleeping area off the dining room has a day bed and a full bath on the second floor.
Please note that there are spiral stairs in this unit to get to the upstairs living areas. The third story is really only a half story above the second story and is connected by a partial spiral staircase.
The Boathouse contains a 30x30 indoor/covered slip for anyone wishing to bring their boat. The boathouse area is accessible from an outside door as well as from a door on the 1st floor.
*Pontoon boat rental available*
Downtown Cedarville is a short walk away.
Washer and dryer in the unit.
WiFi included!

Check in easy, host was very good and checked in to see how it was going. We’re aware of many things about the property. Front door very old worked with a skeleton key that you can only lock from the inside and door had to be opened with a good bump of the hip, upstairs floor slants, tiny kitchen, spiral stair cases, etc. While house was extremely unique enjoyed the oddities. However we felt that it was lacking in general upkeep of the facility. You know, little things that need fixing around the house.

Overall great place to stay. Exterior of property and the boat were a bit dirty upon arrival but aside from that it was a great overall stay!!!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2024
The views from the deck are stunning, and the hosts generously provided propane for the grill and firepit. However, several issues detract from the stay. The dock shown in the photos is not part of the property, and this isn’t disclosed until after booking. The interior is functional but doesn't quite match the expectations set by the pictures. Issues included blinds in the kitchen that couldn’t be closed, missing electrical outlet covers, a non-functional upstairs shower due to leaking into the downstairs bathroom, and a leaking kitchen sink requiring towels to be placed underneath. Additionally, the fridge froze most of our food, and the controls were missing. The water for the house is pumped from the lake, which we were only informed of after a water outage. The hosts were responsive and came to adjust the pump, but the lack of notice was frustrating. The house itself noticeably slants, especially on the third floor. While the views are indeed beautiful, the price doesn't justify the many hazards and inconveniences. Lastly, communication was inconsistent, with multiple check-in sheets listing different contacts. The hosts were friendly and responsive to issues, but we won’t be returning despite the town and scenery being exceptional.
