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!

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!

We enjoyed the Cardinal Nest, my husband is a ship geek and watched the ships pass by the river, day and night. We enjoyed the view of the deer, geese, mallards, loons and the occassional eagles. 3 miles from town, easy drive to the locks. Highly recommend, the house was comfortable and the huge picture window off the living room was amazing. We we revisit this location again.

The house was easy to find. The views are amazing! It was a great place to rest after spending the day on a Soo Locks tour. There was only one bathroom. Also, the grass area for viewing the freighters has had lots of geese so be careful where you step.

This was a girls weekend for my mom, her sister and my friend. The property is very nice and there is a nice place to sit where you can watch the boats pass by. The large picture window in the living room is also great for this. The seating in the living room is great for relaxing and visiting. Appreciated the timely and clear communication with the host.

Great location, minutes from town and seconds from the marina, with lots of birds and beautiful scenery to see. Beautiful views of the Saint Mary’s River, and great views of the freighters as well. We loved seeing the gorgeous sunrise from big picture window in the living room and from the sweet patio. We’ll definitely be looking to come up for a longer stay!

Great location for freighter watching! Less than 5 minutes to Rotary Park where you are up close to freighters as they go by and captains give a salute. Also close to all downtown Soo has to offer and the locks. Host was very accommodating. Home was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again in the future!

This is a beautiful place right on the river, very clean and a nice yard. Bonus that it is dog friendly although mine ended up staying home. Slightly outside of town which we preferred so it was quieter.

Our primary reason for staying at this home was to be close to Sault Ste. Marie, and right on the river so we could watch the freighters go by. We were not disappointed! Darlene was quick to respond to a small issue we had and had the home well stocked. It was clean and cozy. In all a wonderful place to stay.

House is nice and the view out back is great. Watching the freighters was a favorite activity. We tried fishing off the back but did not catch anything. Lots of Ducklings and other animals to watch. We met both hosts at different times of the week when they stopped by to get the trash or mow. Very nice people and responsive. Favorite things we did: We did the Soo locks tour, walked around the shops in town, went to the nearby park in town to watch boats, people, and try fishing, and also the other park with the swimming beach. We drove to root beer falls and had a great time there, highly recommend making that trip, Ate at the brewery there. Our favorite restaurant was Jose’s. We went back a second time we liked it so much. We also drove to whitefish point to swim in Lake Superior which was spectacular. The water is so clear! Great experience there. There is a fishing charter (captain Greg) who lives about a quarter mile up the street and we did a charter with him and caught several northern pike. We are for days with the few we caught. Suggest owner buy a couple more and bigger window AC units. We ended up staying on what was probably the hottest week of the year and the house was uncomfortably hot until late at night. The kitchen window AC unit is the only one in the house and just isn’t up to the task. Another would be to install an exhaust fan in the one bathroom. With 5 people needing to shower the condensation was too much.

We were visiting family in Sault Ste Marie and we were fortunate to book this adorable little home on the St. Marie's river. The house was perfect for us. Absolutely beautiful sunrises every morning!

We spent two nights here for a bit of a reprieve between camping trips, and it was just what we needed. The house was clean and comfortable. The big yard was fun for the kids, and the view of the St Marys river was beautiful. We ate all our meals on the back patio enjoying the view of the river and watching the ships go by.

Kitchen could use a set of small baking dishes, mixing bowls, and a cutting board. Two bedrooms need dressers, closets were being used for storage. There was a small window air conditioner in the kitchen window, the house was advertised as having air conditioning....not really. Blinds in bedrooms were hard to lower and raise. Please know, we enjoyed our stay and loved watching the freighters pass by!

Right on the St Marys river. Quaint property. Everything one needs.
