Welcome to your home away from home!

Our home is located in the beautiful historic town of Sault Ste Marie, the oldest city in Michigan.

Our house comes fully stocked so you don't have to worry about bringing unnecessary things on your travels.

Want to surprise a loved one for their birthday, an anniversary or special occasion, we can add items (surprise flowers, cards, gifts) to the space for you!

The home is a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home built in 1930. One bedroom is on the main floor with 2 Full size beds. One bedroom is on the second floor with 2 Queen size beds. The upstairs bedroom is considered a "loft" which has a slightly steep stairwell to access. There is also another small area on the second floor with a twin size rollaway cot for your use.

Our home is located directly on snowmobile trail UP8 which has access to the entire Eastern Upper Peninsula snowmobile trail system. Our long driveway offers 3 truck and 3 four place trailer parking.

During the summer time relax around the fire pit and roast smores, use our charcoal grill to cook, or simply relax at your home away from home.

We are in close proximity to the Ashmun Bay boat launch where you can launch your boat, Canoe or kayak to fish or explore walking trails on the surrounding islands.

We are pet friendly, and require a $50 pet fee, and require that while you are away, they are kenneled.

The entire house is yours to use during your stay. All we ask is that you respect our neighbors by not riding on their property that is attached to ours. We also ask that you stay in the designated area for trailer, truck, snowmobile, ATV parking.

For stays longer than 5 days, I am available for light cleaning of the home and garbage or trash removal upon request.

Positive Vibes

It is a nice property. We stayed there in August & September 2024. On our September stay most of Soo lost power. They sent a message making sure we were aware. Thankfully by the time we returned to house we had power. If you have an issue with stairs this may not be the place for you. Stairway is narrow. Also, make sure to bring toiletries as it was not supplied. First place that I've been too that did not have all those items. Overall, this was a great place to stay, property manager was very responsive & we would stay again in future visits.
