Waterfront Sugar Island Cabin! Freighters, Fishing.

2+ Plus Bedrooms, Full Downstairs Laundry And Bathroom. Delightful Setting.
THE JOURNEY: First, arrive on the island with a memorable ferry trip. You will drive right on, and off the ferry, and then be on your way to your lake home!

THE HOME: This newer cedar home features sleeping for 8 comfortably with a 2+ plus bedroom design. Master bedroom downstairs is equipped with a queen bed and closet. The upstairs "plus" bedroom is a full-home loft with 6 queen beds and a futon. Fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and living area together make up the wide open downstairs design with large windows/glass doors overlooking the water. The large wrap-around porch overlooking the water is great for evening gatherings and food on the grill. One full bathroom is nicely located for use by all. Cable television and internet service are provided for your indoor enjoyment. Many board games are provided for your added enjoyment in the evenings or when the outdoor weather is bad.

THE WATER: Just outside the front door, a few steps through the sand, and you are on the beach. Lawn chairs, fire pit, and plenty of room for building sand castles for all. As you relax and enjoy the water and sand, an occasional ship or freighter will pass by so don't forget to bring your camera. These vessels can be from anywhere around the world and are amazing to gaze at. The home does have a dock if you choose to bring a boat. Excellent fishing most all of the year will be all around you. Salmon, Walleye, Perch, Small mouth Bass, and Northern Pike are just some of the many fish species that that are caught on a regular basis. Don't forget your fishing license. If you plan to stray into Canadian water, you will need to follow all Canadian license and fishing rules as well. (please clean fish outdoors only and properly dispose of the remains).

THE WOODS: The wooded lot consists of approximately 11 acres that are beautiful to enjoy for a walk or to explore the terrain. Watch out, you may scare up the many deer, turkeys, and other wildlife that dwell on the Island.

Perfect waterfront getaway

If you’re looking for a clean place out in the country on the water, this is your spot. The beach was perfect for the kids to play in the water and the cabin was clean with everything you need to enjoy your stay. We will be staying here again.

A beautiful piece of property with beach access excellent boat watching. All needed supplies were offered. The only suggestion I would make is to offer a pontoon boat rental option.

Island Paradise

The cabin is absolutely gorgeous, it’s still close to the road but the property feels woodsy with a lot of trees. We loved everything about our stay, we didn’t catch many fish but that was okay. The weather was perfect and would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to reconnect with nature!!

What a wonderful view! Our kids loved the little beach area and how shallow and sandy it was in front of the house! It was quiet and comfortable. Its not fancy or rustic, it hits just right for a comfortable family gathering for fishing, swimming games. Would love to come back again someday!

We really enjoyed our stay. It was chilly & rainy multiple days but we had a good time anyway. Only got to use the boat once but again, that was fun too. Really loved watching the freighters come through & researching them with the grandkids. Owners were vey responsive to any questions I had. Highly recommend a stay here!

We are previous renters from 2021 and we enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed it so much that we came back this summer and brought our adult children and enjoyed the river, fishing and boating. We traveled to Canada and celebrated the 4th in Sault St. Marie and always enjoyed our quiet evening back at the cabin with the cool breeze coming off the river. Love this place it will not disappoint!

Freighter Heaven

We loved our fall getaway at this adorable cabin. The fall colors were gorgeous and the weather couldn't have been better! Sunny and cool temperatures so we could explore the area comfortably as a family with our 2 dogs. We especially loved seeing the freighters lumber past the cabin- our favorite times were lounging on the huge porch early in the morning and late at night when the lights from the freighters drifted past. We hope to return for a summer trip! The cabin had EVERYTHING! It was comfortable and cozy- a true gem!

Ships, Ships and more Ships

We enjoyed the peacefulness of Sugar Island. The cabin was very nice and had EVERYTHING in the kitchen that you could possibly need!! I was very surprised to find it so well stocked. It was amazing to watch the ships float by, one after another. We counted an average of 5 a day! My hubby and son were a bit disappointed that they were unable to land a trophy fish, but they had fun trying! I definitely recommend staying here, Cris was very quick at answering any questions we had. Thanks for sharing your lovely cabin with us!!!
