About this place

Private Island Cottage – Bring Your Boat – Free Public Launch on Grosse Ile

Tucked into the calm waters of the Detroit River just south of Detroit, Grosse Ile is a hidden-gem island community known for boating, fishing, summer sunsets, and laid-back waterfront living. Connected by bridge but worlds away from the noise, Grosse Ile offers that rare combination of small-town charm and true water access.

This is where families gather, boats idle at sunset, and weekends stretch longer than they should.

Your 3 Bed / 2 Bath Island Cottage

Summer Rental $4,000 per Month

This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage is designed for comfort, connection, and outdoor living. Whether you're hosting a multi-family fishing trip, a summer reunion, or just escaping city heat, this home gives you room to breathe inside and out.

What Makes It Special
Comfortable layout for families & friend groups
Large driveway with plenty of space for fishing boats and trailers
Easy access to the water
Quiet residential setting
Ideal basecamp for boating, fishing, and summer gatherings

Boater & Fisherman Friendly

Grosse Ile is surrounded by world-class freshwater fishing. Walleye, perch, bass, and muskie are all part of the local reputation.

Even better?
Grosse Ile offers a free public boat launch, making this location extremely attractive for serious fishermen and casual boaters alike. Launch in the morning. Grill at sunset. Repeat.
