About this house rental
Welcome to our little piece of paradise on the St Mary’s River. This is an all seasons house with a lot of space inside and outside to enjoy all the spectacular views and activities on the water. The property has a dock you can anchor your boat and/or your jet skis. Kayaking and SUP are a must do while visiting. Fishing (summer and winter) can be enjoyed on the dock or the solid ice in the winter time. If you are looking for a quiet getaway, you have found the right place. The house is not located on Drummond Island.
The Garage is currently off limits to guest, but we hope to offer it soon as we further prepare our home. There is also an owner closet which is locked for your safety.
The kitchen is furnished for cooking full meals if you like. The bedrooms have a variety of mattresses from medium to firm, with comfortable bedding, and extra blankets. You should be able to find a bed to suit your sleeping style.
The concrete driveway in front of the garage is the only parking available. It will fit three cars very comfortably, and possibly four depending on vehicle size.
There is a spot for a boat/ATV trailer just to the right of the garage. Please back your trailer into this space. Do not use this space for other vehicles.
The boat dock suffered damage last year due to high water. The walking surfaces are missing from the side, but you can still use it for docking your boat. We recommend launching kayaks in the shallow water just to the left of the dock. The area is rocky and water shoes will keep you comfortable.
The bay was dredge many years ago to allow boat access to the homes around the bay. The deeper water is easy to spot as the reeds do not grow there. The water inside our boat dock , as well as the channels within the bay are 6-10 feet deep. The nearest boat launch is in Detour which you can use for a small fee. When entering the bay and while using the channels, you must adhere to a strict "No Wake" speed.

Everything, and I mean everything was excellent! Jason and Maria have thought of everything. From the plentiful towels, kitchen size and accessories, grill with charcoal, chairs outside, firepit, beds and bedding. We couldn't find a single area wanting.
Communication with J&M was fast and clear.
If you want a stress free trip, rent this property.

We absolutely loved our stay with our groupof 12, the house checked all our boxes, except one. The listing did not clearly state there was NO AC. We didnt known this until our check in email. The first night was really hot in the house and we ended up going to the dollar store to buy extra fans (one of which we left behind for the next guests) with that being said, there was only one bedroom that did not have a ceiling fan. There are plenty of windows that created a wonderful breeze the remainder of our stay. We felt completely relaxed and off the grid. The back yard was wonderful for the kids, they swam, did paddle boards, fished, played wiffle ball and corn hole alot. One neighbor did come out and say something about the private property signs because he thought we were fishing on his side, but we were in fact only fetching a ball. We lit a fire in the fire pit and had smores, the mosquitoes got a lot worse when we did that, so it was short lived. All in all we had a great stay and if we ever ventured to Michigan again we would absolutely consider staying at this property again!
