About this property

Detour Village , freighter views , cozy

Adorable little cottage near Lake Huron, with views of St. Marys River and Lake Huron.


We think "Mayberry Cottage", is perfect and hope you will too.

What it's lacking in modern aesthetics, it makes up for in charm. From the banging
front screen door, to the people watching from the front porch and listening to the church bells chime. There are views of freighters passing by right outside the windows.
This will be a relaxing and tranquil oasis for you.

It's a slower pace , there is no "wi fi" but there are cards to play , movies to watch and books to read. Along with board games and puzzles.

We are located smack dab in the middle of the cute as can be village of Detour. Walk to the market, visit one of the restaurants or bars or launch your boat right across the street. If it's Jeeping you love, the Drummond Island ferry is right around the corner . I've heard the fishing is amazing , as are the beautiful beaches just a short drive away .

Bike around the village, walk to the botanical gardens or walk down to the ferry dock to see the car ferry and freighter watch. Rent a boat slip at the beautiful marina and check out the many islands , just a short boat ride away. Or listen to live music at the marina park on most weekends .

Detour Village is a gem we discovered three years ago and want to share it with others .

All that being said, our cottage is just that. It's clean and neat and oh so adorable but it is not a condo. please remember that when renting. It has a beautiful glassed in front porch where you can enjoy your morning coffee. freighters are often seen right outside the windows and sand cranes wander across the road.

If you visit I bet you will want to return . Mayberry Cottage sleeps 7 comfortably. There is a sleeping loft upstairs with three twin beds, a full bed downstairs and a pull out sofa bed in living room.

Fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, electric stove and keruig coffee pot . Towels and linens are included.

One bath, no Smoking, small dogs allowed.

The house was perfect for the four of us
Loved the house and the town. We could walk anywhere we needed to go. Took the ferry to Drummond Island twice and lots of fishing and relaxing. My husband loved the front porch.

Detour fishing trip
The house was super comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. Inside and outside porches were wonderful and a great place to sit and relax with coffee or eat a meal. Neighborhood is quiet. The house was well stocked with everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable start. I would highly recommend it.

As advertised
The host worked with us and was very accommodating. The cottage was well stocked with dishes, coffee maker, silverware, etc and the dishwasher worked great. Plenty of seating and the beds were very comfortable. The only thing missing was a tv antenna and WiFi due to some construction to the area (not the cottage). There was an extensive library of DVDs, though. For 6 guys on a fishing trip, it worked out great! It was my first time using VRBO, but not my last.

Short but sweet
The property was bright and cheery, well stocked, clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, due to an emergency, we were only in the cottage for a couple of hours before we had to leave. The host was very understanding and immediately gave us a full refund. I would highly recommend this vacation home.

Cozy. Bright and cheery, nice decor, very relaxing. Comfortable beds, kitchen and bathrooms stocked with more than you could ever expect. Local population very friendly, welcoming, and forthcoming with information. Negatives- Upstairs very warm for 60 degree weather. Could benefit from a ceiling fan. No stairwell lighting. Television antenna needs some work. We had a very nice few days, and would do it again.

A Sibling Reconnection
This was a warm, welcoming home for our sibling get together. Siblings and family gathered for a memorial time for our brother and for my husband. The kitchen was supplied with much more than we expected, as was the bathroom and bedrooms. Such a beautiful change from a motel. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Limestones, quaint comfort, and wonderful silence
As our first real resting vacation, Mayberry cottage was clean, cozy and full of surprises. From the full bar set, equipped with copper cups for Moscow Mules, to extra little soaps and thoughtful pastime activities, we loved our stay and our rest. Michelle, our host was right in from check in to check out and even went above and beyond to help us with extra requests. From the church bell tolling across the street, to the quiet walks along Lake Huron, I would highly recommend this property for sleep, Sabbath, and rejuvenation of the spirit.

July 2021 Fishing
Cute cottage with more amenities than advertised. There was a washer/dryer combo and a Keurig machine. Cottage is loaded with knick-knacks; for crusty male fishermen it was difficult to find a coffee cup without a cutesy saying! Very convenient location within walking distance of everything.

I live in northern, Mi in a bustling tourist town. Which makes getting away to Mayberry Cottage one of my favorite things to do . I’m a mom to young adults and keep busy working in sales . My husband and I love to travel and explore and especially love out west. We love the slower pace in detour and can’t wait to retire there someday .
