About this property

Kate's Canalside Cottage

Make memories this summer! Kayak and fish from the back yard, grill on the patio, relax at the fire pit, walk your dog to the dog park, play board games indoors, or take your boat to the river.

Your pets are welcome. The back yard is fenced (dogs won't jump in the canal, as you'll see when you get here), and there is a dog park one block away.

LOCAL AREA
We’re located between trendy Marine City and Saint Clair, just minutes from the boardwalk, shops, restaurants, a small public beach, bowling alley, playhouse, and more. Sip coffee at a local cafe and watch freighters travel down the river from Canada. The Saint Clair river is beautiful and you can clearly see Canada on the other side.

PARK YOUR BOAT TRAILER!
If you have a larger boat, there is ample parking in our driveway for a pickup truck and boat trailer, and we provide an electrical outlet for charging. You can launch your boat in nearby Saint Clair, where the public boat launch costs just $7 a day. There is a lovely marina, boardwalk, shopping and restaurants for you to spend the day on the Saint Clair River.


EXPLORE THE LOCAL AREA!
Walk just one block to beautiful East China park, which features a dog park, hiking trails, tennis courts, and a jungle gym play area for kids. From our front door, the spectacular Saint Clair River and a view of Canada on the other side is only a two minute walk. If you need anything, a Dollar General is in walking distance.

BRING YOUR PETS!
Dogs are welcome. There is a $50 pet fee which covers the first two pets. Please scoop all poop from the yard and de-fur the house before you leave.

We provide dog bowls, a tie down, a pooper scooper, catnip, and a litter box on request. There's also a large dog crate in the canal room.

ENJOY BONUS KITTIES!
Our two friendly cats, Taro and Meensie, might stop by. Taro is gray and Meensie is black with white paws. Feel free to let them inside for purrs and petting during your visit. Just text us so we know where they are. (Or just shoo them away and they'll skedaddle.)

NOTE: OUR HOME IS DRUG-FREE
Marijuana is not permitted anywhere on the property, and tobacco smoking is not allowed indoors. Please see our house rules for full details.
