Loved the house, views, and town
We loved staying in this house. We spent a lot of time on the front porch, watching the freighters and ferries on the river. Great location in the village, we could walk to restaurants, Pickleball courts or down to the marina. The dining room is also a very nice feature with lots of windows so you can watch the boats while you’re eating if it’s too cold to eat outside. Lots of activities nearby, including hiking and fishing, as well as visiting Drummond Island and nearby towns like Cedarville.
The kitchen was well equipped and thoughtfully stocked with herbs and spices as well as pots, spans and small appliances. We had a very comfortable bed in the master bedroom on the first floor. Both bedrooms on the first floor, had ceiling fans, but the upstairs Bedrooms did not have ceiling fans and they got stuffy even with daytime highs in the mid 70s.
It would be nice if there was a bathroom upstairs so people don’t have to come downstairs during the night. Some of us use the bathroom in the basement for showers.

Detour Passageview
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage in Detour Village. I never know what things to bring with us for a rental, but I needn’t have worried. The whole house is beautiful and well stocked with all the necessary items for a week’s stay. Aside from the actual food items, which we brought with us, the kitchen had a wonderful assortment of coffees and teas. There was a very nice stock of spices and oils. Of course there was every kind of pot and pan needed for cooking.
The bathroom was well stocked with the usual necessities and even a first aid kit.
To top all this off, the view from the front porch is amazing! We love watching the freighters go up and down the St. Mary’s River to and from the Soo Locks.
All in all, it was a wonderful, relaxing stay - and we would do it again!

Perfect for our needs
Very nice house across the street from the harbor. Great view of the passing freighters from the wrap around porch. Only a couple restaurants in town, so cooking meals in the kitchen was great. Very spacious with a big kitchen, dining room, living room plus the bedrooms and bathrooms. Owner was great to work with. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed staying in Gary’s house. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms were clean and the eclectic furnishings were nice. We really enjoyed the porch! Just sitting there, watching the ferry go back and forth to Drummond Island and especially the big ships quietly passing by. The sunrise is especially beautiful. It was a relaxing visit.
