The location is PERFECT! You are right off the freeway and within walking distance to many conveniences! Detroit is about 20 minutes away and Monroe is about 15 minutes away.

The space
We've just added a beautiful 10' x 14' gazebo with two picnic tables down by the river for our guests to enjoy!

WE NOW HAVE AT&T STREAMING CABLE!! Go to the Roku Home Screen and go to the Direct Tv app!! We’ve also updated our Wi-Fi!

We just love how convenient this historical quadplex is! It’s the best of both worlds! The backyard has a very “up North” feel. There are all kinds of wildlife including geese, ducks, groundhogs, and many deer that come into the yard! Right across the river is state land-it’s great to go across the river and explore the woods!

Our parking lot can accommodate most boats! Please just let us know. It’s only 10 miles from Fermi!! You have two parking spaces.

You are right by Pointe Mouillee State Game Area and Lake Erie Metropark! Bring your bikes for some wonderful trails. GREAT FISHING!! However, you are two doors away from a Marathon convenience store, three doors away from The River Village restaurant-GREAT food at very good prices, especially their early bird breakfast, and about a half mile away from the local Huron River Inn, a charming little local bar with great bar-b-que and fish!

The renovated apartment has three bedrooms. It's approximately 1000 sf! The living/dining/kitchen Area has new gray bamboo flooring. NEW mid-century modern recliners and a comfy brown leather sofa!! There’s a 43” Roku tv with Netflix. Two of the 3 bedrooms have tvs. The bathroom has been completely renovated.

There is a panoramic view of the river from the living area. The kitchen has plenty of pots and pans and we hope that you will find all of the essentials that you need. Please feel free to ask any questions!

You are welcome to use our kayaks for no cost or deposit, however, you must take full responsibility for them and put them back the way that you found them. You must let us know when you’re taking them out and take a picture of them upon their return. All outdoor amenities are first come, first served; there are four total apartments. The paddle boat is not available. The current is usually too strong for it.

Please be aware that you are on a relatively busy street, and although the yard feels as though you’re up north, the road traffic can get noisy. However, we’ve added really nice white noise machines to all three bedrooms! Also, this apartment is on the second story and the stairs are high and steep.

Extra blankets are in the closets. We have many feather/down pillows. If you have allergies more regular pillows are in the master bedroom closet.


We’re told that the building is the original general store!
It is a very large old building and it was renovated into four apartments. Consequently, it’s not a typical apartment building and there are no shared walls. There is a hallway separating all the units. However, please still be conscious that others are in the building.

FYI, We are still working on landscaping; although most of it is complete.

Please note that code requires that all smoke detectors to be hard-wired and all apartments are inter-connected, i.e., if one sets off, they all do.



Most importantly, please enjoy the beautiful river and our guest spaces as much as we hope you will!!
Your hosts,
Paul and Elayne Petrucci
Guest access
You are free to use the kayaks, but please put them back and be VERY CAREFUL. We ask that only ADULTS go into the basement! It’s a storage and work area and has many tools and such and it’s not necessarily safe for children. Please do not use the laundry facilities between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm when housekeeping will need to have access to it. Also, please provide your own laundry soap; it will be too difficult to keep
Track of and we need to make sure we have it for check outs.
Other things to note
The steps going up are high and steep.

This is a waterfront property. Please watch your children at all times.

Bring bug spray!

Please be aware that the apartments are being worked on and there may be materials/supplies, etc., in the basement areas.

Again, we are on a relatively busy street, although the back yard feels as though you’re up north. Many guests aren’t bothered by this, but be aware of it. We let you know, and we’ve added white noise machines. I’m uncertain what more we can do. We humbly request that you not mark us down because of it.

In the winter, the fireplace is a heater and the wall air-conditioner is also a heater. The switch for the electric fireplace is on the bottom under the metal door. Push on the door at the top to open it, and push the toggle switch to turn it on.

There’s a saucer chair in the master bedroom closet if you want an extra seat.
