Harsens Island, Michigan
Come see why the South Channel is known as the "Gold Coast" of Harsens Island! There are few places where you will see freighters from all over the world pass CLOSE by while you relax on the front porch or riverside deck of your vacation rental. This makes the experience dramatically different from our neighbors on the North and Middle channels (and even some of our neighbors further down on the South Channel).
Is our cottage the place for you Quite simply, read the reviews. These reviews come from people that are just like you. They were looking for a vacation in a nice, clean, comfortable home, that had the location, amenities and "things to do" that would help them make memories of a lifetime. Mission accomplished!
Whether you are looking for a quiet place to relax and unwind, or a place to experience a water adventure with friends and family, our CLEAN riverfront cottage will provide just that.
Enjoy beautiful views of the sunrise, passing freighters and boats as you relax on the enclosed front porch or waterfront deck, both with 180* views. Cool off with a jump in the river, or drop a line in the water. Have a boat This home has room to dock up to a 28’ boat in a protected canal, and is located within minutes of beautiful beaches and prime ski/wakeboard/tube waters. What to do after a long day of sun and fun Relax around a bonfire at the riverfront fire pit while freighters quietly rumble by.
Inside the cottage you will find hardwood floors, a fully equipped kitchen, a LCD television/DVD player, two bedrooms (beds for 8 people w/a full size bed and a queen futon on the enclosed front porch), washer/dryer, a full bathroom and air-conditioning. If you enjoy the water you simply cannot find a better location, or a better value. Our cottage is ready for you and your friends and family to make lifetime summer memories!
Notes:
We are on CITY WATER, and have outstanding water pressure.
Any boat must clear three bridges in our canal to access docking. If your boat has a bridge or tower that cannot be retracted it will not clear these bridges. However, transient wells are available within a few minutes of the cottage.
Harsens Island and surrounding waters are also a sportsmans paradise. World-class fishing and duck hunting are available seasonally. No matter the weather, you can usually find some spots to "tuck" into to get out of the wind and waves.

Monty B, July 31 2016 – 5 Stars – “We loved watching the ore ships go by on the waterway. Nice to go out there on the island and listen to the birds and quietness. Clean cottage with plenty of room, and the neighbors were friendly. Thank you for the amazing place to unwind from our busy San Diego life.”
No problems. It was just what we were hoping for.
Very charming. The view of the river in Canada and the ships was wonderful. The picture showed a shady front porch. There was no shade made it very difficult to sit outside in the morning at because of the beautiful sunshine in your eyes. They need a umbrella or some thing. The kitchen table needs to be sanded down and re-done. I am so happy I had a tablecloth because the table is not in good shape. The bridge needs maintenance quite badly. Nails are popping out. A paint job would improve a lot. A broken basement window creates a bad impression as you go in and out the door. The kitchen is well stocked and maintained. The TV is very good. Lots of games and things to do.
It’s always a good time at this cottage. M
This was the perfect location for a short fishing trip to Harsen’s Island. The location was perfect! Being able to come home after a long day of fishing to a house looking over the beautiful South Channel of the St. Clair River was amazing. The house itself was more than accommodating and very clean. Check in/out was super simple and Brandon, the owner, communicated throughout our stay to make sure we were good. We will definitely be back as I don’t see any other place I’d rather stay for our annual LSC fishing trip!
Such a happy place for us. We have rented 3 times now. The cottage is charming and the island is great. I know of no other place to see ships like this. We are in heaven there.
This was our 2nd year at this address. It was just as awesome as the 1st year. Owner offers all you could need in the home & then some. Check in & check out was very easy. The location offers the closest view of all water craft including freighters. Bring your camera. We will be returning year after year. 5 stars to Brandon.
Second time at the cottage. Everything was great.
Cottage is clean, comfortable and with adequate sleeping options just as described in listing. You literally could not be any closer to the water or the freighters. There is a big deck right at the waters edge for viewing/fishing. Cottage was well stocked with linens/towels/pots and pans. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back again.
Loved this place. 2nd time staying there and the best part is the communication with the owner Brandon. Great guy and awesome place. I will be back next year!! Great place for boat dock and fishing.
everything was great for our fishing trip! nice property, great host!
We enjoyed ourselves so much last year, we had to come back! Sooo relaxing! We hope to make this an annual trip. Enjoyed dinner at Catch 22 Bistro on the mainland. Highly recommend the Ka-Bang Shrimp appetizer & perch entree.
