Really Nice Boathouse

This boathouse is super cleanly, spacious and perfect for a short stay on the Clinton River / St. Clair. It’s in a good neighborhood which is key in the Detroit area. We were fishing a few days on Lake St. Clair. The only reason I have this a 4 star was the paper thin walls between the units (there are two). When you’re fishing long days and getting up early, having people next to you blasting their TV until 4:30am and yelling / partying or arguing with each other is NOT fun. Unfortunately, that’s what we experienced with the renters next to us. Overall, it was fine and this boathouse is nice. The host was communicative and laid out all the details in a timely fashion.

Can’t say enough good things about this property!

Shannon was very responsive and helpful! The property is amazing. If you are in this area I highly recommend The Boathouse. Everything we could need was provided, not just a “starter” tp, paper towels, trash bags, ect…everything was provided for the stay. Excellent location for our sailing event. If you are bringing a boat she offered to provide a space for us. It is on the water so you do get some water “gnats” I would call them. Just keep the doors closed behind you and the blinds closed, they really are non existent when the sun is up and not a bother. The bedrooms and bathrooms are huge! We were a group of 4 (one couple and 2 singles). There was an air show during our stay which was an amazing bonus. They made sure people just pulling in to view didn’t take up our parking space. Everything was just above and beyond!!
