About this property
Sugar Island cabin on the water, doorway to great fishing and duck hunting!
Come enjoy the sunrise every morning on the northeast side of beautiful Sugar Island. See the view of the Canadian hills and fish protected waters of the St. Mary's River and Lake George. Our 2 bedroom house, we call "The Nest", has a large yard with bonfire pit for smores, gas grill, boat docking available next door and even room for a camper if needed!
"The Nest" is located 11 miles from Sugar Island ferry and a 5 minute boat ride from historic Sault Ste. Marie, Mi.
Sault Ste. Marie is celebrating its 350th anniversary in 2018 (1668-2018). Come visit us during this historic year-long celebration to commemorate our unique heritage, and to make your own memories of, “the Place Where Michigan was Born.”. Visit to see whats happening!!
A day trip to the Historic Sault Ste. Marie as a 'fudgie' is always possible! In the Sault, you can visit the shops on Portage Avenue (Or 'Fudgie Lane', which is where tourists get the 'fudgie' name from, because they are known for purchasing a lot of fudge!'), the famous Soo Locks, the Tower of History, Valley Camp, the casino, a quick trip into Ontario Canada across the International Bridge or one of the few golf courses in town. Check out more to do at join us to celebrate
"The Nest" includes 1 bedroom with Queen, 1 bedroom has double bed with twin bunk plus a futon. Napping cots available also for little ones if needed and also adult size cots. Swimming, boating, fishing and duck hunting are all part of the fun.
The kitchen features an electric stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, deep fryer and toaster. Pots, pans, dishes and utensils provide everything but the food you need to prepare your meals. Washer and dryer available.
DVD/VHS player and TV to play them on, cell service is limited at times and Canadian chargers may be charged so check with your provider for optional plans. New this year available internet!
Blue Heron Fishing Charters is another one of our perks! My husband, Harold is a USCG licensed Charter Boat Captain. Book a day of great fishing with Harold and enjoy the adventure. All fishing gear, bait, life jackets big and small plus fish cleaning included. Michigan fishing license is required and can be obtained online at you can get them for the season or for the day. Check out our site
Do you want to bring your boat? No problem, in fact, there is a DNR boat launch about a mile from this location, so putting it in the water on your arrival at "The Nest" will be easy and we have plenty of room for you park your trailer! Gas station and small store is a 20 mile round trip, if needed we can assist with fueling and picking up supplies.
What to fish for? You choose!! Walleye, perch, Northern Pike, Sturgeon (catch and release) bass, salmon both Atlantic and King. Fish cleaning area available with running water.
Lot's of room under the stars to pitch a tent or set up a camper if you have more coming!
So come watch the sunrise, sit under the stars at the bonfire and just breathe! Visit our Facebook page TheNest

About the host
Hosted by Jan Bailey
Harold is retired from our business as of November 2017, since then has enjoyed many days of fishing. I'm a RN at War Memorial Hospital and an EMT here on our little island. Harold is from Ohio but wanted to be "up north" to go fishing as much as he could. Myself born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie and never left!
