The room was clean and comfortable. This place had a lot of charm and was very well kept. I picked this place at random and will certainly recommend it to anyone. To me it was a true find and I will be booking again when I go back that way next year. ##### Tina Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly Oct 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Sep 19, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a nice Victorian house that offers room.

I had to knock on her personal home for her to come out and run my credit card on a square attached to her phone. We had to leave the apartment unlocked while golfing because we couldn’t find the keys to lock up. There was a musty smell. The beds were horrible, our backs hurt. And this place definitely does not sleep 6. There was a full bed in the main room, with bunk beds in a closet behind a curtain and a pull out cot in the closet. The chairs at the “dining room table” were all completely broken and we had to bring the chairs from outside inside to sit on. The bathroom was tiny and not well lit and the shower barely turned on and was broken and spraying water everywhere. If you’re looking for a clean cozy and safe environment, this is not the place for you. Was absolutely not worth almost $170/night. ##### Katie Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob Sep 17, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is attached to a private residence but a totally separate entrance and the deck/pool area is terrific. It has a nice little kitchenette with mini fridge, coffee maker (supplies provided), microwave, dinnerware. It’s really quite nice. ##### Rob Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was amazingly clean and has a pool and nice deck, was really impressed with the sleeping arrangements. We had our own private sleeping space. It was the best place I believe I have ever spent a vacation week-end at. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TMK Aug 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### TMK Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve, East Lansing Jul 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities No a/c but the property's proximity to Portage Lake and Lake Michigan, along with a couple of good fans, kept us cool.

The only improvement I can suggest is coffee. There was a nice coffee maker but no coffee. ##### Denny Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cozy, Secluded, Year-Round Cabin Rental With A Hot Tub!](https://www.expedia.ca/Munising-Hotels-Cozy.h27265412.Hotel-Information) > > [St. Clair Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-The-St-Clair-Inn.h36685.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Sault Ste.
