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.

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!

Peaceful getaway
My husband and I really enjoyed The Nest. It was so peaceful. The house is very well stocked with all the essentials, the stove is so cozy. The neighborhood dogs passing through were so friendly with our shepherd, she looked forward to play time every morning! The river was tranquil, and we experienced both fall and winter in our six day stay. We'll be back!

The Nest on Sugar Island
The Nest is 10 out of 10 best place to stay for for a quiet get away with the most beautiful scenery! Jan kept everything clean and tidy for our stay! Even kept a gas fireplace lit for us, creating the most cozy feel to the Nest! If you're looking for a secluded place in the woods and waterfront property to vacation at, The Nest is the place to be! The people on Sugar Island and in Sault Saint Marie are the most kind people! Food in the area is amazing!!! And White fish point is only a little over an hour drive if you want to look for YooperLight stones!! Lake Superior is absolutely gorgeous!!

About the host

Hosted by Jan Bailey

Host profile image
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!
