Holiday rentals with a kayak in Drummond Island

My wife Linda and I stayed at Fisherman's Paradise/Freighter Watch September 4-22, 2024. We were there mainly to do fishing in the St. Mary's River and Lake Huron. With on site launch, boat hoist/dock, and fish cleaning it is by far the best rental property we have found in the area. We have stayed on Sugar, Nebbish, and Drummond Island and none of places we have stayed could compare. The area is peaceful and quiet, there is ample wildlife in and around the area, we saw eagles, mink, beaver, and many other bird species. A couple nights around the full moon we heard several coyotes howling. As other reviewers have noted the freighter watching gets to be obsessive(we even saw several cruise ships during our stay). We would recommend that you get on the Boatnerd website. This website has information on all the ships that are seeing. We found the house to be comfortable. The kitchen has pretty much everything that you may need for your meal preparation. Tara and Rob are great host.

Our family enjoyed our stay. A lot of our time was spent outside. The location is great to enjoy the outdoors whether using the trails or exploring other nearby by attractions it is very easy to explore up north! The deck was a great way to enjoy our outdoor meals and relax in the evening using the hot tub. The yard was huge. Kids were able to run around and explore nature. A lot of our time when we were not exploring up north was spent enjoying the dock and the river. The water is crystal clear. Our kids had fun catching turtles, frogs and fish as they explored the river. Melissa was an excellent host. Every detail was well cared for! Thanks you!

Great home in a beautiful private location right on the water. Great amenities, inside and outside of the home. Tons of space for large families and very cozy. Sweet and thoughtful touches all around the home. You can tell a lot of thought went into the decor of the home. Master suite has beautiful lake views to wake up to in the morning. The hosts were prompt as far as questions and concerns went.

It is the perfect vacation place. This place has direct lake access with scenic peaceful surroundings. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cherished each moment we spent. Barbara's place feels like home with thoughtful attention to details. Especially if you are traveling with a big group or kids, she has provided enough toys and supplies like kitchen/bath towel, coffee etc. Highly recommended Just one thing to mention, the King bed is on a lofted bedroom which does not have four wall enclosure like regular rooms. I think this is a Michigan architecture style and looking carefully at the pictures you can easily figure it out. So something to be careful about for a big group

Wow! What a perfect place for a get away! Kevin’s place is filled with everything a family, group of friends, or couples retreat could offer. Everything is as described with little personal touches that made us feel at home. We will highly recommend to all our friends!

Brienne and her property were amazing, we felt right at home and fully enjoyed our stay up north. The scenery was beautiful being on the water as well as having a cool modern home for the weekend helped make our trip even more special.

It was a perfect place to take our family to celebrate my 40th birthday! Jaime and Patrick were very responsive and had all the amenities! Our eldest daughter loves the water equipment and our youngest loved the outdoors! Would 100% recommend and would return!

Tom and Kitty were excellent! The island is gorgeous and the beach area is perfect. The water does not get too deep which was wonderful for the kids and my sanity. Perfect spot for a family getaway! They allowed us to use their kayaks, canoe and swimming platform. Tom also put out children at play signs which was such a thoughtful touch. All together an unforgettable family experience. Just lovely!

Jessica’s place was the most peaceful and picturesque place to rest after a full day of kayaking and exploring the forest. Every morning a beautiful mist was over the lake making the morning views just beautiful. Jessica was quick to respond when I wanted to add an extra day. The beds were very comfortable and just what was needed after a long day of kayaking Lake Hurons beautiful shoreline. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare fresh homemade meals. This was home away from home. I highly recommend Jessica’s place and plan to return.

Our New Years stay at the Hilton cabin was great! The space was perfect for our families! We enjoyed the layout and the coziness of the woodstoves. The sauna was a great way to relax and unwind, and the lakeside fire pit was the perfect way to enjoy the cool evenings. The home was very clean and tidy upon arrival and was well equipped with all the amenities; would definitely come back again.

We loved it! Eileen is a super host, who made sure our visit was the most comfortable and peaceful as possible. Three Owls Cottage is a very nicely updated cabin. We felt right at home staying there. All the amenities listed were available. The kitchen had absolutely anything you needed to cook a meal from a simple pizza, to steaks and chicken on the grill with a side Cesar Salad. The beds were comfortable . The bathroom was updated with a nice corner shower. All appliances worked flawlessly and the internet was a nice addition. If you are looking for a nice quiet place to relax and wind down this is it! If you want to unplug and spend time with your kids I’d recommend it. Just unplug the router. :). Thanks Eileen we loved your place, enjoy the rest of your summer!

If you are looking for a relaxing place to unplug and relax with great views this is a great spot. It’s remote, but there is a little store for trinkets and items you may have forgotten. Right on the water for fun on the water and views. Cabins are rustic but comfortable. No WiFi and we needed to use Canadian cellular towers, so you will be unplugged…and that’s kinda the point. Definitely plan to come back.

Peaceful area. Great to be right on the river. Wonderful to be able to sit out, and/or grill out, on the front lawn or porch, and watch the big ships. Picnic tables and furniture are provided. Cabins are rustic and cozy. Bedding is provided, and in our opinion, the beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with pots/dishes/silverware. Gas stove. Full size fridge. Good water pressure. Bring your own towels/shampoos, and bath soaps.

We stayed at Pond #8 which was a short drive from the main resort. We didn’t use any of the resort amenities because we enjoyed our cabin so much! The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s the perfect wilderness getaway. The staff at check in/out were very friendly. We will definitely be coming back and staying longer.

Great little cabin on Basswood Lake. Have been to this location before and loved it everytime; has an awesome view of the stars at night. Place was tidy and clean upon arrival. Christina was a great host who checked in with us and made sure we had everything we needed!

Great little cabin, communicative host and clear description of what we were getting. Loved being disconnected for a peaceful stay.

We had a great stay at the cabin, such a beautiful place to stay at. Jay and Christina have been great hosts, super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend the experience!
