Waterfront (Sugar Island) home, with Pontoon Boat!!

This waterfront home is perfect for your "Up North Retreat". Not only does it come with a Pontoon boat for your use, but it is a 3-bedroom, tri-level home with a lot of living space and a great fire pit area.
Located on the Northeast side of Sugar Island, on the St. Mary's River (by the Mouth of Lake George). This house is in the middle of other properties known as "The Sugar Suite" (Same owners and that listing is VRBO #475245) and The Nest. Each of these properties are 2 houses down (about 250 feet), so perfect accommodations for a large group!
Do you want to bring your boat? You are more than welcome! In fact, there is a DNR boat launch about a mile or so from this location, so putting it in the water once you arrive at the Island House will not be an issue and we have room for you to park your trailer! If you plan to use the Pontoon boat (holds 1000 lbs) between Memorial Day - Labor Day, please bring life jackets (all children 12 and Under must be wearing their life jackets at all times - US Coast Guard regulation). We make sure the pontoon boat is full of gas for your arrival, and though we can help you get more gas if needed, we do prefer you have it full again before you leave. Thank you!
We'll provide all of the linens, but expect you to bring your own paper products.
If you possess your Michigan Fishing License, than you can not only use your own boat, or the pontoon boat for fishing, but you also have the option of booking a charter fishing trip just 1 dock down (Blue Heron Fishing Charter). Let us know if you are interested and we'll help you reserve your trip with the captain next door.
We have a hose for your use, so if you have your own fish cleaning station, bring it and you can hook up to the hose!
Please, let us know if you have any questions! We'll do our best to accommodate special requests!

Large, very well-equipped kitchen. Plenty of beds for a family with children. Comfy sofa. Nice backyard with dock. Loved the island. Local grocery store is well-stocked. Would definitely rent again when in the area!

It was a great getaway for the family. The pontoon was a great option to have. The out side of the property could use some up keep and the cleanness of the inside could be improved. But it is a nice property and nice location. We really enjoyed it! Great communication with the property owners! Would stay again for sure!

Had a wonderful vacation with husband, mother-in-law, son & daughter-in-law. House was perfect, clean, comfortable, spacious and exactly, as advertised. Many mishaps that were out of owners control; however communication with owners was excellent. Owners went above and beyond to help mitigate issues as they arose.

We’ve rented twice now. We love all the features and amenities. We really didn’t need to bring much other than our personal items.

My family and I stayed at the "Sugar Island House" for 5 nights. This was the most relaxing house we ever stayed in on Sugar Island. We had everything that we needed in the house and the fishing was good all week. Laurie and Scott were great hosts and were very easy to get ahold of. Looking forward to returning to this rental sometime next year.

The house worked out really well for a couple families staying for two nights for a youth hockey tournament in the Soo. Laurie was quick to respond to the couple questions we had and everything went very smoothly. Kitchen space was large and open and great to entertain! The inside of the home was clean and appeared to be recently remodeled. Very happy with our weekend on the island!

We loved our stay in the Sugar Island house! I only have two recommendations to make it even better. 1. Supply a gas can to refill the boat with gas. 2. Include a list of directions for lighting the grill and using the coffee maker since they are both a bit tricky.

The house is remote, could use some updating and a thorough carpet cleaning! The weather was rainy and there was not much to do, although we did take a fun ride in the pontoon boat. The kitchen and dining area are lovely, the rest of the house just needs work. We ended up leaving after one night though we booked for two, largely due to the weather.

Very nice house. Basement living room comfortable. Kitchen nice to cook in. Good view in dining room to eat. Boat got us around and was not top bad. My kids liked jumping off the dock and swimming back. Suitable for ages 6+ for sure on the water. You can walk up to the dock about 5 feet from shore so it's not a complete drop off. Wear water shoes as some rocks sharp.

We very much enjoyed our weekend in the Soo on Sugar Island. Very peaceful. The house was awesome. The kitchen is beautiful and has everything you can imagine. I mean everything. I’ve never seen a Vrbo kitchen with so many things. We appreciate it. The house was very clean. Beds are comfy. Two bedrooms with king beds and a third with two twin beds. Huge living room with giant sofa in the basement. The rental also has a pontoon with it. It is a bit dated but we had the best day on it. So much fun. Ran very well. No issues at all. Wonderful communication with the host. Will definitely rent here again. A+

Relaxing, slower pace vacation. Met some real nice people on sugar island. The pow pow was beautiful and welcoming. The grills need cleaning. We just used our equipment on the fire pit. Someone with mobility issues could have difficulty with stairs accessing house. The view is amazing and enjoyed morning tea on the deck. Finally figured out what bird was calling in the neighborhood, white throated sparrow.

Overall nice place, outside needs a little love. The towels were put away damp. Needed rewashed and dryer. No propane in the gas grill and needed cleaned. Basement smelled musty may be from the missing gutter on the roof right above it.

Wow!!!! Our stay was so fabulous! Laurie was so kind and responsive! The house was gorgeous the two king beds upstairs were great! There were four adults so we did not use the other two twin beds in the third bedroom. Everyone (besides me) staying there were tall so all of the space throughout the whole house was incredible! The washer and dryer were top of the line and so helpful during our stay the pontoon was great we had a lot of fun fishing! The home is newly updated and was so clean! We cooked a lot of our meals they had so much there already for us like fabulous cookware spices and pots and pans are weeklong stay was just so stellar! Well equipped kitchen for sure! They had games to play which was great a campfire pit and wood for us to use and plenty of chairs. The accommodations were top notch I would recommend anyone to stay here a group of adults or if you have kids they would love it! They even had little sunglasses and beach towels, you can tell that there is so much care behind what they do. It was cooler at night so the temperature throughout the house was great. They had a small AC unit downstairs and fans, so throughout the day so we were very comfortable. Also at one point we ran out of propane and they took care of the issue so fast and were so responsive! I really have nothing bad to say or negative we cannot wait to stay here again! Thank you so much for making our stay so wonderful, fun, and comfortable! :)

The house was perfect for us and our 3 teens. Plenty of space to spread out on those rainy days(which we always seem to get on our vacations!). The beds.....seriously the most comfortable ones weve ever slept on. All of us said that the first morning lol. Kitchen was huge. Had everything we needed. We loved having the boat. Was very fun to explore. The car ferry runs very frequenty so anytime we wanted to run over we barely had to wait. It was nice even just going to the car ferry lot to watch the freighters and the fireworks. If you go to watch the freighters youll get a salute since rotary park (and clydes yummm) is right across the water. The host was super fast and responsive and all our questions were answered quickly. She was great! Wifi and cable was very reliable and never went out (if you need that kind of thing for work or something). Being so close to Canada was fun and watching their police and coast guard patrol as well as ours was neat. Just hoping we get one last vacation in next summer before all our kiddos are grown! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Overall, we had a nice family stay at the Sugar Island house. Nice big kitchen, equipped with all the necessities. Beautiful view of the river. Easy access to Lake George. Lots of wildlife- we got to watch Eagles, ducks and heard the loons and an owl. Thankfully we did not encounter any bears. Nice and peaceful. The ferry was efficient every time we crossed. I could get used to Isand life. Thank you!
