Resting on the Northeastern shores of Anchor Bay, within Lake St. Clair lies the Sunset Bay Lake House. Sunset Bay is a newly renovated lake house with a heavenly view of the soothing Anchor Bay. Just a few miles from the St. Clair River bordering Canada, 25 miles north of Detroit, Sunset Bay Lake House provides an ideal backdrop for a classic summer vacation with your family.

This 3 bedroom/ 2 bathroom lake house has been fully renovated in 2022. The kitchen has been updated and reflects a crisp, contemporary edge. To be able to cook while visiting with family in the living room, plus stretch a glance at the bay, makes for an ideal setting. Sunset Bay is a wonderful place to bring your family and friends, where 2 couples can each have their privacy with the kids enjoying the 2 sets of twin bunk beds together in one room; or where a larger family of 5-6 can invite the grandparents along to add to the family memories which await.

The sunporch overlooking the bay is the perfect place to read a book, or simply relax. It's the place to soak in the morning with your cup of coffee overlooking the Bay as the mist off the water sprinkles the air. Plus, when the sun begins its decent, end the day in the same spot with your favorite glass of wine as you watch the beautiful sunset on the horizon.

Open year round, where you can bring your boat/sailboat in the summer or your ice fishing shanty + auger in the winter to Sunset Bay Lake House. (Please check that the ice is at a safe level of thickness before you traverse the bay.) Here you have the opportunity to create memories, which will bring you years of smiles as you reflect upon your time along Anchor Bay.

    We had a wonderful stay! The location is fantastic, sitting right on the lake. We really enjoyed spending time on the three-season deck; it was the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, and take in the beautiful water views. The kitchen was very nice and fully equipped with plenty of dishes, pots, and appliances, which made cooking meals easy. Unfortunately, it was a bit too windy and cold for us to do any fishing during this trip, but it looks like an amazing spot for it when the weather is calmer. We would definitely recommend staying here.

    Overall it was a great stay, and we would choose this house again. Very clean, updated, and furnished with everything we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful back yard and views of the lake. Our only complaints were the overhead smoke detectors had very bright blinking lights at night. And it's a long drive to many activities we did in and around Detroit, though we knew the location before we booked. Would stay here again!
