Welcome to your special island getaway on Sugar Island in Sault Ste Marie, MI. Enjoy a short (very short) ferry ride and a 20-minute drive to the southern tip of this beautiful island where you'll find our guest resort on the St Mary's River/Lake George with a great view of Canada from our backyard...or is it the front? Hmmm...
At the Sweet Retreat SI, we offer a great escape from everyday living with nothing but nature all around...and lots of water, of course. If you enjoy a cabin vacation, fishing, exploring, relaxing on a swing by the water, and a campfire at night...please join us in God's country. The views are fabulous!
Our cabins are available by the night, weekend, or week... depending on the time of the year. Plan your trip now and come wake to a beautiful sunrise and spectacular sounds of the outdoors while enjoying your morning juice, or coffee, on the deck by the water watching the geese and ducks swim by.
Our cabins are all newly renovated, but still rustic enough to show character, and offer all the amenities you'll need to make your packing light. Our property also includes the Sweet Retreat Store in case there's something you left behind or you just need a sweet treat or a special souvenir to mark the memories you'll make here. There are picnic tables all around to gather with new friends and watch the kiddos playing in the kid's area close by. The Sweet Retreat property has areas to walk and explore, a lily pad pond with a waterfall and frogs, swings throughout, a gazebo, deck, dock, great fishing, swimming with a small beach, and more with hidden treasures to seek and find. Bring your fishing gear, life jacket, or whatever you can't live without from home, and let's have some fun.
PLUS! We do have canoes and bikes for your use and we also offer pontoons (see the tab for info) and kayaks for rent.
We think you'll love it here as much as we do!
Hope to see you soon...The Middlesteads.
Sweet Retreat SI currently has 4 newly renovated and updated cabins available for rent with several size choices, and room for a few RVs or campers if that's how you roll.
We cannot wait for you to come and experience our updates for yourself. This beautiful place is worth the trip...promise!
And did we mention the frog pond that entertains EVERY child...
and several adults, too?
The Krause Kabin is newly remodeled inside and is in the process of a new face-lift outside. So, the colors may have changed by the time you arrive. Exciting!

The bedroom downstairs features a queen bed and a dresser with a corner closet and lots of room to move...lots! The living room has a queen sleeper sofa and chairs to sit and enjoy the downtime. We also include games and books for your leisure. The loft area upstairs has a queen bed and 5 twin beds...a couple of beds are available to pull together if you'd like to experience king bed sleeping. This cabin only has one full bathroom on the main level, but there are other full bathrooms (also newly-remodeled) on the property for shared use. The kitchen has everything you might need to make it feel like cooking at home: large fridge/freezer combo, stove, microwave, pots/pans, cooking and baking needs, crockpot, coffee pot with filters, electric can opener, all utensils for cooking and eating, dishes, and more. This cabin also has a washer and dryer on the main floor. Out the upstairs patio door, there is a balcony with plenty of room to hang out and watch the night roll in. Under that balcony and down the steps, sits a gas grill (with propane included) for evening meal magic to begin.
Bring your friends, lots of family members, or your friend's family, and experience the island vacation while enjoying time together in this large cabin.
