A Wonderful Week

We didn't have to bring a thing. All the household necessities are there. We pretty much just brought our clothes and some food. We love the property! I especially love the little guest house in the back! I would like it for a little art studio on my property.

Mother, sister weekend

The house was comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook your meals. The view of the St. Marys river was worth staying in De Tour Village. Had a wonderful time.

A Beautiful View form the Porch to the Water

11th Annual Cousins Retreat

My cousins and I enjoyed exploring this part of the Upper Peninsula as it was an area we have yet to visit. The porch was lovely to sit on and enjoy our chats and to watch the sunrise. It has a nice view of the passageway. It was fun to watch all the large shipping barges go by along with the ferry to and from Drummond Island. The boat docks were nice to visit too. The only thing was there was no air conditioning which made some of our nights challenging to get through comfortably. But overall we would recommend this place to others. Gary, the owner, was very nice and easy to work with when we needed his help with a slight bathroom issue.

Girl’s hiking weekend

The house was amazing. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, utensils, spices, anything we could ask for. The space was great for evening card games and afternoon porch sitting. The location was perfect and easy drive to local hikes and the ferry dock to Drummond Island.

Detour Passageview

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage in Detour Village. I never know what things to bring with us for a rental, but I needn’t have worried. The whole house is beautiful and well stocked with all the necessary items for a week’s stay. Aside from the actual food items, which we brought with us, the kitchen had a wonderful assortment of coffees and teas. There was a very nice stock of spices and oils. Of course there was every kind of pot and pan needed for cooking. The bathroom was well stocked with the usual necessities and even a first aid kit. To top all this off, the view from the front porch is amazing! We love watching the freighters go up and down the St. Mary’s River to and from the Soo Locks. All in all, it was a wonderful, relaxing stay - and we would do it again!

I arranged the stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. I got a text from the owner in which he stated that we left fish guts in the dumpsters. I phoned him and informed him that I personally cleaned all fish at the fish cleaning station in town. We did NOT leave guts in his dumpsters. We are proud of the way we left the property. I am waiting for a return call from Mr. Dudek.
