Visit Tahquamenon Falls, LSSU, Mackinac Island, and the Soo Locks. Eat at local restaurants, or stay in and grill. Swim, tan, watch freighters, golf, snowmobile, hike, snowshoe, kayak, color tour, and relax at campfires. Bring the cousins; grandpa and grandma too! Only 5 miles from historic downtown Sault Ste.

Smell the variety of flowers in the landscaping around the house and in the circle driveway.
Roast marshmallows and hotdogs around the campfire sitting in our 10 campchairs.

Wonderful weekend stay

Our group stayed here during an ice hockey tournament at the Soo. The house is hugh with plenty of room for our 10 giests. The kitchen is the best stocked I have seen at a VRBO. There were plenty of big, soft bath towels, and rhe bedds were comfortable. Will definitely consider staying again when we have another Soo tournament.

The Perfect Spot for a family getaway

Our family enjoyed this home! The location on the river was very nice for watching Great Lake ships passing through, swimming, kayaking, relaxing and sitting by the campfire at night. This house provided plenty of room for our group of 9. The kitchen had everything we needed for our meal preparation. The beds and sofas were very comfortable. Definitely a 5 star rating!

Peaceful lake home

Our family had a wonderful time at this home! Lots of room to spread out. Also got to see several boats go by on the river which was an extra surprise. Loved the welcome basket of chocolates and stuff to make s'mores! If you stay here, you don't be disappointed!

Family time

This was our first family vacation since all my children have been married. The cabin was plenty big enough for everyone to have their own space. We loved that there was 2 separate sitting areas so if some wanted to watch tv there could. The kayaks were a wonderful bonus. The kids and adults loved them.

Excellent place for friend groups

Great place with enough dedicated bedrooms and bathrooms for a large group of friends to stay. Equally important - enough seating and space for all who stayed (I hate seeing listings that “sleep 10” with only one bathroom and a dining table that seats 4 - that is not the case here!). Definitely recommend Triple R retreat!

Fichtner Family Reunion

Overall, it was good. However, the following need improvement: The lawn service should have a bagger so guests don't track in; grass cuttings,\ Need to replace lock box as hinge is broken; showers need more hand rails if this is listed Handicapped Accessible; front porch railing is loose; need boards for the two dining tables. But we had a good time!!! Jerry Fichtner

Fantastic stay at Triple R-Road's end River Retreat

We had a wonderful week at Triple R! What a great place for all nine of us to spread out and relax when we weren't site seeing. Loved that it was private, and had a large yard for the grandkids to play. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, bonfires, and watching the freighters passing through. The house was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Thanks Brianna for all that you did to ensure we had a wonderful stay.
