Peaceful getaway
My husband and I really enjoyed The Nest. It was so peaceful. The house is very well stocked with all the essentials, the stove is so cozy. The neighborhood dogs passing through were so friendly with our shepherd, she looked forward to play time every morning! The river was tranquil, and we experienced both fall and winter in our six day stay. We'll be back!

The Nest on Sugar Island
The Nest is 10 out of 10 best place to stay for for a quiet get away with the most beautiful scenery! Jan kept everything clean and tidy for our stay! Even kept a gas fireplace lit for us, creating the most cozy feel to the Nest! If you're looking for a secluded place in the woods and waterfront property to vacation at, The Nest is the place to be! The people on Sugar Island and in Sault Saint Marie are the most kind people! Food in the area is amazing!!! And White fish point is only a little over an hour drive if you want to look for YooperLight stones!! Lake Superior is absolutely gorgeous!!

The Nest is a beautiful slice of the wilderness.
My wife and I were looking for a unique experience while visiting the UP, which included finding a secluded cabin rental. The cabin did not disappoint and was more than adequately furnished with everything a comfortable stay could want. I’d certainly recommend this cabin to anyone looking to experience an exceptionally beautiful setting and a remoteness that’s not commonly found.
