Cute, Cozy Cabin

We loved our weekend stay at Sugar Cove. The cabin is super cute and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided, including kitchen supplies, cozy blankets, comfortable bedding, and a selection of DVDs for evening movies. There is no WiFi, but we had good cell reception.Thank you for sharing your pet friendly space for a relaxing weekend up north.

Weekend get away on the river.

The beds are like sleeping on clouds, but you need a better movie selection. Beautiful spot on the river.Lots of privacy, lots of wildlife in the area.And you don't really need videos to have a good time there. I love everything about the place very beautiful and relaxing weekend differently coming back.

A great week

We loved the cabin, the property, the view, the peace and quiet, the genuine feeling of getting away from it all. Plenty to do in the surrounding area —Great Lakes museums, Taqhamenon Falls, the Soo Locks, watching massive freighters navigate the St. Mary’s River. We could not have asked for a better week.

Cozy, comfortable cabin

What a peaceful place to get away and relax. Only was there for an overnight, but would definitely like to come back and spend some time exploring the island and surrounding area. Took advantage of the kayaks at the cabin to get out on the river and had a relaxing fire and watched the sunset. Fred and Candace are wonderful hosts. You need to check out this little piece of paradise. ...paradisechof paradisecadin

In Love with Sugar Cove!!

My family loved our stay at Sugar Cove. The hosts have put great thought into ensuring you have a pleasant stay. The property has amazing views of the St. Mary’s River and is stocked with outdoor amenities for all. There is a full kitchen which made staying on Sugar Island so relaxing. The Westshore Store has everything you would need if you forget anything and even has ice cream for the kiddos. I’ve read reviews about no cellphone service but all our devices worked fine (Verizon). We will definitely visit Sugar Cove again soon.

60th Wedding Anniversary

Took mom and dad to stay in this lovely cabin on Sugar Island for their 60th wedding anniversary. Now as we pulled up to the cabin, I attempted to set expectations, telling everyone that the photos online, ALWAYS exceed reality, so please, 'temper' your enthusiasm until after we've been inside. After running inside to survey the inside, my gf emerged beaming w/ excitement on fabulous the accommodations were to see real time. Albeit its cozy environment, it was perfectly suited for 4 adults in the two bedrooms. We had an enjoyable two days and will be looking at future dates as our schedules permit.

Great location and Property

The property is outstanding but the issue was that I was coming from Canada and a fishing trip and my buddy had a stroke and is still in Canada. I stayed here Friday evening and headed back home the next day. Also learned my brother was in ICU after cardiac arrest so I needed to get home. Bad week! Fred and Candace have a wonderful property and we have stayed before. Highly recommended!!!!

Gorgeous River Front!

This is a wonderful (tiny!) cabin at the back of a gorgeous riverfront property (the owners have their own home on the same land but nicely set back--the cabin is right on the river across from Canada). Beautifully appointed, very comfortable, and it's on a lovely island (the directions were perfect for taking the ferry, just a 90 second ride, to get there). Do note: it's a TINY cabin. Two bedrooms, yes, but these are very small. This is not a complaint at all, just a cautionary note: if you go with others, be sure you like be close together! :-) I will defintely go back.
