Sugar Island - Waterfront property with Pontoon boat!

If you are looking for a quiet, waterfront place to stay, than this Sugar Island house, referred to as the 'Sugar Suite', is just what you are looking for! Plus, from the middle of May until the middle of September, there is a small pontoon boat for your use (Maximum 6 people at a time)!
The Sugar Suite is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, ranch-style home on the Northeast side of the St. Mary's River (the mouth of Lake George). It is the perfect spot for boating, swimming (BUT, remember... were located in the North, so the water temps are not like Southern Water ways.), fishing (great water depths) or even duck hunting! It is also close enough to the mainland (about 10.5 miles from the car ferry), that a day trip to the Historic Sault Ste. Marie as a 'fudgie' is always possible! In the Sault, you can visit the shops on Portage Avenue (Or 'Fudgie Lane', which is where tourists get the 'fudgie' name from, because they are known for purchasing a lot of fudge!'), the famous Soo Locks, the Tower of History, Valley Camp, the Kewadin Casino, or one of the few golf courses in town. There are also other amazing attractions within 60 miles of the ferry dock.
The property features waterfront, where you can find a fire pit, grill, and picnic table for your use! The most traffic you'll see from this location, is on the water!
As you walk into this house, you will enter through an entry way with a washer and dryer for your use. The kitchen features an electric stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. Pots, pans, dishes and utensils provide everything but the food you need to prepare your meals.
The dining room features a dining room table with 6 chairs and a tall top table with 2 stools, views toward the back of the house (where you park) and toward the front of the house (through the large picture window facing the water).
The living room has a couch, an oversized chair with an ottoman, and the large picture window with water views.
The master bedroom has a King bed, small dresser, a lamp and a hanging rack..
The 2nd bedroom has 2 queen beds, a closet with hanging racks, a night stand, and a full size mirror attached to the door.
The 3rd bedroom has a King, a night stand, a lamp, and a closet with hanging racks.
Do you want to bring your boat? You are more than welcome! In fact, there is a DNR boat launch about a mile from this location, so putting it in the water once arrive at the Sugar Suite will not be an issue and we have plenty of room for you park your trailer! OR, use our Pontoon boat! We have an older Pontoon boat that is available for your use (holds up to 1000 lbs)! If you plan to use the Pontoon boat, please bring life jackets (all children 6 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 expect it full when you leave ($100 charge if the boat is less than full).
We'll provide all of the linens, but would appreciate it if you could bring your own beach towels and 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 biking a charter fishing trip just 3 docks 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.
Other than that, we welcome your dog(s), but there is an additional $200 fee per animal.
We have a small fish cleaning station set up for your use.
Please, let us know if you have any questions! We'll do our best to accommodate special requests!

Sugar suite
There's not much to do on sugar island other than enjoy time with each other. Cook a bunch of food and enjoy the peace and quiet. Have a campfire and if that makes you happy. This is the perfect stay. We love it at the sugar suite.

Clean, well stocked
Clean, loved being on the water! Communication with Lori was excellent! Island lost power our last night there, so we had to leave dirty dishes, but she was very understanding. This place was so relaxing. The only complaint we had was the gas grill wasn't working, but owner was not aware, hopefully this is fixed, especially if power goes out.

We have stayed here several times and had a wonderful experience each time. The accommodations fit our group and Laurie is always a gracious host. There is a good docking spot for our boat and the launch is nearby. We plan on returning again next year!

Sugar Island
The house was fine and clean. Area was remote. But the ad clearly states that the house had air conditioning. When we arrived there was no outside condenser or air ducts, only base board heat and a few broken fans. The boat that was advertised was not the one pictured it was more of a floating dock with no seats. The property was adequate but I felt like we were lied to from the beginning.

Great island fishing cottage
Love the view from the cottage of the St. Maryā€™s River. We stayed in Michigan and gazed at Canada. Comfortable three bedrooms and well stocked kitchen. We have stayed here for many years and hope to continue.

September stay
The house was great. Large and roomy very clean, great view of the sunrise and the river, kitchen was very well equipped, the docking area was very nice, large wide dock made it easier to dock in the current and wind. Special thanks to Laurie for having the pontoon moved to accommodate us. The road to the house however which was under construction was very muddy and sandy extremely slippery when raining, (it was pouring when we arrived) much better after the weather cleared and dried out a bit. We liked the house very much and enjoyed our stay, hope to be back again next year. .

Family Fishing Trip
Our family (with older members) loves to get away each year and reconnect on Sugar Island. This 3bedroom one floor home with a lovely view of the river is perfect! The pontoon is used daily for fishing and nature cruising. Thank you for providing such a place for us to make family forever memories!šŸŽ£šŸ˜

Second visit to this property right on the water. Everything you need including use of a pontoon but we did not have time to use this time. Highly recommend. One of the neighbors, Captain Harold Bailey runs a great fishing charter that I highly recommend. Sugar Island is beautiful.

Average
Average cottage. Grass not mowed (though neighbors' yards taken care of). Undergarments left from previous renters in 2 rooms. Drawers broken in master dresser. Closets, but no hangers. Mismatched and stained towels. Lots of pots and pans, but several non-serviceable. Someone needs to go through, do a thorough cleaning and declutter. Not owner's fault, but we had a medical emergency and the lack of cell service (we all have AT&T) became a problem.

Tranquil, peaceful house
Outdoor pictures of this rental do not do it justice. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. We saw a lot of wildlife. The pontoon boat was fantastic! We were able to see so much more from the river versus the road. The house was exactly how itā€™s depicted in the listing. There is no WiFi and the TVā€™s had approximately 5 channels. Cell service is patchy. This was fine for us. It was really nice to have a week unplugged! Laurie was wonderful to deal with. Sheā€™s very responsive to questions which I really appreciated. We ate all of our meals at the house. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. There were plenty of towels for the kitchen and bathrooms. It was a great stay and we would definitely go back if given the chance.
