The Village of Fairport is a super unique and beautiful place to enjoy. Here is a little bit of history, this house was built on Saint Martin island, and moved to its current location in Fairport from the island during the winter of 1883 or 84 using horse drawn skids across the ice of Lake Michigan. This is a distance of approximately 9 miles. The current is strong and it rarely freezes in this channel between big data knock and the open waters of Lake Michigan. But during the mid-1800s, most of the world experience various odd weather phenomenon because of the volcanic eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia. Those winter’s were very hard. Winter started early and stayed late. This explains why the ice between Saint Martin island and the Garden Peninsula with solid enough to support house moving. This weather information is detailed in Carl Bohnak’s, former WLUCTV6 chief meteorologist, book “So Cold a Sky”. This information was also confirmed by lifelong residence in Fairport, and the historic books left in the house. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: No smoking inside the home. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,750 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114910000/114909400/114909311/674e73d6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Sunset Beach" Camper in Fairport on 435' of Lake Michigan shoreline Garden - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=114909311&PinnedHotelID=114909311&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117470000/117469400/117469359/a5ac077c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Sunrise Beach" Travel Trailer on 435' of Lake Michigan frontage- Fish on!
