Great place for a fishing getaway!

My husband and our adult son stayed here for a week of fishing on Lake St. Clair. They loved the convenience of a dock with power and water. They were able to roll out of bed and onto the boat for a great day on the lake.

Short stay fishing trip for two

The space wasn’t huge but enough for two guys. Small kitchen with all the necessities to cook,clean etc. convenient boat slip with power access. Additionally trailer parking (although having to unhook daily if trailering boat) There was great communication and easy instruction from the host that made the stay go smooth. Overall a great experience. Thanks!

Clean and cozy

Crows nest was very clean and cozy. Kris, the owner was very accommodating and generous. She called the day before our arrival and went over need to know basics of property. Both bathroom and kitchen were stocked with all necessities. Parking was great along with the fishing being right there. The area is very quiet and a great place to stay. Thank you for making our first time to Michigan a memorable stay.

Perfect for a fishing vacaton

This was the perfect place for our five day fishing vacation. Kris has a great set up right on the canal and knows how to cater to people who spend each day on the water. Having the use of a really nice Weber grill was a great plus for dinner!

Really great!!

This was a really nice property with boat access to Lake St. Clair. The property manager met with us upon arrival to show us around and gave us an upgrade to the main cottage! I would stay here again for sure.

Awesome.

If you are recreating on St. Clair in the Anchor Bay/Algonac area, make Swan View your home base. Kris has thought of everything inside the rooms and outside on the docks. Short boat run to the river and channels, New Baltimore, etc.. Rooms are 10X better than your usual fish camp 1980s decor (not that there's anything wrong with that). Can't wait to return soon -- five stars for sure!

Quaint Studio Just the Right Size

The Crow's Nest is a quaint studio located on a canal within just a few hundred yards of Anchor Bay. The manager was outstanding. She went out of her way to help us and make our stay very enjoyable. She answered questions, offered suggestions and was right there to help us no matter what we needed, from the time we checked in until we left. The Crow's Nest is quiet, yet right on the main road through the area.The outside is well lit, and the door has a digital security deadbolt. The grounds are well kept and the room was very clean. There is a queen pull-out bed (which we didn't bother with), 2 twin beds, a large clothes closet, and a storage closet. The kitchen is well stocked for either a short or longer stay, complete with stove, microwave and full-size refrigerator and freezer. The only negative, and reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is that the bathroom is small. There is a sink, stand-up shower and a nook for the toilet. There are also 4 or 5 large open shelves that are a nice way to keep toiletries, towels and various other supplies out of the way but still accessible. If you are looking for a nice place to stay in the area, try The Crow's Nest.
