Private Sandy Beach - Large Deck - Best View on River \*\*\*Three bedrooms; 2 queens and one double bed total.\*\*\* Located 4 miles from downtown Sault, MI is our little piece of heaven! Situated on the lower St. Mary's River, you'll have a private sandy beach to swim, tan, fish, or even snowmobile and ski in the winter. One of the very few properties with shallow water for the whole family to enjoy. Sit on the newly constructed deck and become a "boat nerd" while marveling at the gentle giants traveling the river. Close enough to run downtown for dinner, yet secluded enough for a private family vacation! The house was built in 1984 by our local high school. We have knocked out walls, installed new lighting and ceiling fans in every room, new toilets, new mattresses and linens, a new deck, new paint throughout the whole house, new stainless appliances, a new gas grill on the deck, new dryer, and a combination kcup/traditional coffee maker. There is a wheelchair ramp at the front door, and the master bathroom is wheelchair accessible. Wifi is enabled throughout the house. We have named this property Mohawk Acres. It's located on the site of the former Mohawk Supper Club and Taffey Abel Lodge. Clarence "Taffy" Abel didn't start playing hockey until his late teens. In a few short years he became the flag bearer for the 1924 US Olympic team, the only Native American flag bearer, the first American born NHL player, winner of the Olympic silver medal in 1924, and two Stanley Cups in his 8 years in the NHL. He returned to the Sault to coach and opened a supper club called Taffy's Lodge. The Detroit Red Wings ran their summer camp in the Sault at the Pullar arena from 48-58. Legend has it that many of the players and coaches spent some "quality" at Taffy's place! Taffy passed away in 1964. The Lake Superior State hockey arena is now named after Taffy. Be sure to check out a game when you're in town! ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Charcoal grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Front entrance ramp - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On a river - On the waterfront ### 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: 1,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/26000000/25120000/25115300/25115235/3d1dbebc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ranch style, waterfront property!
