The property is wonderful The view of the river and marine traffic is not to be missed. We tracked the ships and watched all of them we could. It was agood location for the falls and whitefish point. Not to mention the interesting So locks. We especially enjoyed the gas firetable and the bathroom up and down stairs. Great stay!

This was our second stay. It was as comfortable as we remembered. Everything was great and we couldn’t wait to watch the ships like we did last time. It’s a perfect location for that! We also appreciate having laundry available. We’ll be back for sure.

Was in town in the off season for sure (January for a funeral). One of the reasons I booked the place was the sauna. Was unable to access the sauna due to the high snow banks. When I requested that owner clear a path, he directed me to the shovel by the garage. Disappointing.

This is our 3rd (maybe 4th) stay at Riverside Retreat. If you want to view the freighters and/or enjoy the peace of the river, this is the place to do it! Location is perfect for checking out other things to see and do in the area. Very comfortable. Hope to be back in 2026!

The location is awesome. Lake freighters, cruise boats, etc, travel past going up bound and down bound. The living room windows offer full view. The upstairs bedroom is as charming as it can be. The location also allows for quick access to Soo shopping and tourist attractions. Love this place!

Perfect Summer Getaway

We had so much fun staying at the Riverside Retreat! It was clean, perfect location, and had all the amenities! We loved watching the freighters go by, go for a swim at the little beach, and make snores in the evening time. Our kids had an absolute blast! Marc was a fantastic host!! We can’t wait to go back.
