3 Bedroom House in Roberts Landing, Marine City

COVID-19 UPDATE:
We as owners of a tourism related business have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and have taken this threat seriously from the start. We have accommodated guests to alter their vacations plans and ensure that everyone who arrives at the St. Clair River House does so in safety and without worry. One of our mitigation strategies is obtaining from each prospective guest a brief health history and providing to them a recent health history of the house. We query whether anyone each party is COVID-19 positive, or showing any of the following symptoms: cough, fever, shortness of breath, recent loss of taste or smell, or unexplained confusion/ altered mental status/headaches?
The house's recent history (past 30 days) is one family of five, a couple with a dog, and a group of three friends/coworkers, all of whom had no positive tests or symptoms before or during their stay. The only other individuals inside were our housekeeper Kristyn and I. Neither of us have shown any symptoms or positive tests in our households, and always wear masks when inside. All commonly touched surfaces are cleaned with a food-grade disinfectant rated for coronaviruses. All linens are washed in hot water with a bleach solution.
THE SPACE
The St. Clair River House beckons you to spend an idyllic vacation on the banks of the St. Clair River. Our historic yet fully remodeled and updated home is the perfect blend of classic charm, perfect waterfront setting, and opulent luxury. We specialize in providing a custom vacation experience for family groups, couples, and other groups up to 10 people. Read our reviews and book with confidence, as the best summer dates usually fill a year in advance and our winter rates can't be beat!
We first fell in love with this respite on the river when moving to southeast Michigan for work back in 2009. The surprise of seeing Caribbean-blue water and curiosity of watching a thousand foot ship right in front of us was awe-inspiring. It became our dream to live on the banks of that beauty, and we were lucky enough to make the dream come true. There were so many little surprises that we still miss, like hearing the drone of ships' horns on a foggy night, catching a walleye right from the dock in the spring, or watching the Coast Guard break ice in the winter. We enjoyed this idyllic setting for several years until another job change pulled us closer to the city, but the St Clair River House remains a part of our hearts. We now want to share our love of this wonderful area with all of you.
The St. Clair River House was built as a cottage in 1925 as a Detroiter's vacation home. Much of the historical charm from that cottage remains, with a fieldstone wood-burning hearth still featured as the centerpiece of the open floor plan downstairs. The three small, cottage bedrooms upstairs all have at least partial river views, and even show some architectural detail in their original plaster work. As you'd expect from a 1920's-era cottage, there are some areas of imperfect fit and finish. However, modern comfort, convenience, and beauty do shine through in the newly remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. Multiple-head showers, beautiful stone tile, a Jacuzzi tub, and a heated floor upstairs will transport you from the cottage to a luxury spa. Neighbors are close on these riverfront lots, and we have some of the best on either side of the House. With that, we expect guests who respect the tranquility and beauty of this wonderful place. We hope you love it just as much as we do.

Summary: My wife/I stayed here for 4 nights with our Schnauzer, Lulu. What a great find, right on the main shipping channel in the St Clair River. The house was completely furnished with all the necessities, except food, of course. They evenhad a washer/dryer at our dispoal. It is close proximity to Algonac, Marine City,St Clair,and Maryville. St Clair was especially nice where they have a gigantic food mall that overlooks a play area for the kids and the St Clair River for boat watchers. There is a hospital just 10 miles north of the house. Deiving M29 follows the river all the way up to Pt Huron, very scenic. Sitting on the back porch was like heaven, watching the ships and cars driving in the other side of the river in Canada. Hrowing up my family used tocome up to my Aunt/Uncles place in Algonac back in the 60s. This stay briught back a lot of those great memories Very quiet and the neighbors are very nice. We will definitely be staying here again inthe future.

Summary: The view from the cottage is wonderful! So relaxing looking at the water and watching the freighters and pleasure crafts go by. The huge windows across the front allow for views from most of the downstairs areas. The kitchen appliances are great. A new refrigerator was delivered three days into our stay. Along with it came new furniture for the sunroom including a sectional, two corner chairs and an ottoman as well as a new recliner for the living room (these replaced the brown sofas, ottoman and older recliner). This should help address some concerns noted in earlier reviews about the comfort and condition of the furniture. Additionally we saw no evidence of bugs at all during our long stay. The lot is narrow, neighbors are very close which may be helpful to know for those with children and/or pets (though no issues for us). The bathrooms are top-notch. Linens and towels deluxe. Check-in/access was easy which we always appreciate. We frequently stay in rentals and this one was especially nice and offered us a convenient location to do all we want to in the area from Marine City to New Baltimore.

Summary: We stayed for an extended weekend with 3 families. The bedroom with the bunk beds worked great for my family of four and the other two families used the other bedrooms and brought pack n' plays for their littles. There was more than enough room throughout the house for everyone. The deck on the back of the house was great to spend time and watch ships go by. Fishing off the dock was great, my kids caught so many fish (nothing keeper size but they enjoyed themselves). We brought boats to explore the river and make it down to St. Clair Lake, there are two boat launches close to the house which made it easy to access the water. The host was very responsive and great with communicating. I would recommending staying here if you are visiting this area.

Summary: Very clean and beautiful property. Everything you could want and then some. Andrew is great to deal with and helped any way he could. This house is ON the St. Clair river so the ship watching is spectacular. Not a good place to dock your boat because of the currents but launches very close. Highly recommended!!!!!

Summary: the cottage and the host were perfect. The neighbors wonderful. The scenery, couldn't be better. Wonderful fish dinners in Marine city. This is a place for relaxation, totally. The ONLY thing we did not care for was all the old fabric couches - should be covered in washable covers - kinda creepy to us. But don't let that stop you- the cottage will not disappoint!
