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!

We had a great week! This was our second time staying at the Sugar Island House and it was another great week of fishing and relaxing. The house was clean, comfortable and in a great location.
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 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+
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!
My friends and I really enjoyed our stay! Would definitely book again!

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!
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.

Decent stay
Inside updating was good
The back porch smelled like mold/dirty
Outside of the house needs work. Thought it was a little overpriced for the amount t of clean up we needed to do before leaving.
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.
We returned to this Sugar Island split-level home for an enjoyable family vacation. Our family enjoyed the pontoon and fished everyday. The large picture windows were wonderful for taking in the view of the St. Mary's River and birdwatch. The modern kitchen and large living spaces made for comfortable living, even on the occasional rainy days. Thank you Morleys for answering any questions and needs that we had.

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.
