Was able to relax their in the evening. The cottage is older but seemed to be kept up quite well. The rooms are small but clean. The bed was comfortable. We were there for one night so didn't use the kitchen appliances. The swimming area was nice, it is a shared area with chairs. When we arrived all of the chairs were taken, would suggest to bring chairs. There was quite a bit of seaweed in the water but were told they clean it up every morning. It is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Had a good stay. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ## 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.
