Celebration getaway
Beautiful, clean, river getaway. We had a wonderful time tracking the ships and enjoyed watching the variety of birds on the river. The view was amazing and a nice selection of restaurants was a convenient few minutes drive away. Would love to stay there again.

Beautiful location to watch the ships
Sure wish we had a couple of days to spend here. The home was wonderful, the location perfect for watching the ships pop out from behind the trees, we loved watching the ducks and the eagles. Close proximity to Sault Ste. Marie made it nice. My husband loved the complimentary wine so much, he came home and ordered a case. We will plan on staying here again.

Perfect getaway to relax and explore
This was the perfect spot for our first trip to Sault Ste. Marie. The home was extremely welcoming and we could immediately tell it was freshly cleaned. The view of the passing boats was incredible. My family enjoyed seeing them all pass through the day. This location was great for outdoor hikes, local shopping and dining. I highly recommend! Like previous reviews have stated it did feel like home. Thank you!

Exceptional Experience
My wife's mother passed unexpectedly and needed a place for my family of 6 to stay for the memorial service and we were so pleased that they we chose Riverside Retreat. Check in and check out were super easy. The owner had great communication with us. We were blown away with how clean and well thought out the condo was. The owner has thought about everything. He truly gets hospitality and what his guests are looking for. This condo is located right on the river. We actually want to come back in the summer and take advantage of bring on the river and seeing all the freighters go through. This condo brought peace and tranquility to our family as were grieving the loss of our love one.
