Historic Riverfront home with an amazing view

The Hart’s River House has a incredible view on the waterfront. Sits back off the main road more than 600 ft so traffic sounds are non existent aside from the freighters and boats on the river. Gives you a private and secluded feel all while still being close to many wonderful restraunts and stores for shopping. Many boats pass by the house from small sail boats to 1000 foot freighters from all over the world. Across the river is Canada.

There are 2 charming towns less than 3 miles in either direction with many interesting and delightful stores to visit along side some amazing restraunts with everything from simple comfort food to tasty meals that any foodie would enjoy

Ample parking including space for boat trailers. Boat lunch is about 2.5 miles away.

Dogs are more than welcome (max 2)... Sorry no cats. Must let us know if bringing a dog(s)... There are other dogs in the neighborhood..and we would just like to give the neighbors a heads up .

Beautiful Stay

My family and I came up here for a wedding, and really enjoyed staying at this beautiful house. The back porch says it all! It was so comfortable and so nice to sit at a fire and watch the freighters go by. The house was immaculate, and the beds were very comfortable. Our host had everything that we could possibly need in the kitchen for cooking. All in all, we really enjoyed our time here thank you so much for hosting us.

Beautiful Getaway

This place was so beautiful, from the moment you pull up to the property and get the view of the amazing water and hear the sound of the waves its just everything. The outside of the home was comfortable at night with the lights and a fire pit, but also during the day just sitting and watching the ships go by. The bed was so comfortable and the pillows were so soft. It was really an amazing time. Just being in the house made us feel good. Thank you for the stay. We will be coming back

Very beautiful… hated to leave! We spent our post wedding here after getting married at Saint Clair Inn. Loved the view and the freighters going by. The porch was beautiful for sunrise pictures and loved having bonfires by the water at night. Will definitely recommend this place to family and friends. Will love to visit again!

Extremely relaxing with amazing views

My husband and I enjoyed this beautiful house during Christmas. Danni and Justin even had a beautiful Christmas tree set up and decorated for us. We have children and grandchildren in the area so it was wonderful having family over for dinners and spending Christmas together. Had no issues at all and was very comfortable vacation.

Very Nice Well Kept House

The house, property, view and host were all wonderful! House had everything we needed and the quality and upkeep of everything in the house was superb. Close to small, nice towns of Marine City and St. Clair which both had nice dining and store options. Driving to Port Huron or Algonac are good options too. Thanks for a nice place to stay!

This is a beautiful property and was the perfect place for our family to gather during a tough time. Even in the middle of the winter this cozy property provided stunning views. Hosts were very kind and everything was thought of, from fresh flowers on arrival to a bottle MI wine awaiting us.
