Family and Dog Friendly retreat

This was a lovely little house near the water. The space was just like the online listing- the only surprises were pleasant ones! My family of 5 humans and 2 dogs had a wonderful holiday. Marcy had so many little touches to make the space warm, inviting and stylish. The second floor balcony was a perfect place to sit and watch the lake.

A great Christmas weekend

We had such a blast at this weekend getaway. Great location with the playground right next door and the water a very short walk away. We were able to enjoy a relaxing family weekend with all the amenities at our fingertips. Host was more than accommodating making sure we had everything we needed for our stay including a high chair and pack and play for the grand baby. 10/10 recommend - and we would definitely book again!!!

Great family stay

Our trip was excellent. We had a quick three day trip to the house with our family. The place was very clean and a great location. Fantastic little touches of hospitality spread throughout the house. The host was great at communicating before and during our trip. We had everything we needed. The lake out back was so convenient as was the park next door for the kids. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.

Perfect lake house escape!

This property is an absolute gem. We loved everything about staying here. The house is impeccably clean and cared for. Comfortable beds, wonderful kitchen and relaxing living space. The view of Lake Erie is beautiful, especially from the upper deck. Our 4yo said it best when she said "I never want to leave this house". Marcy's communication was amazing. Had the best time, would recommend to all.

Cedar point sports complex

This Property was perfect for our stay to play at cedar point complex. It’s also 10 min from cedar point and also kalahari. So close super clean and on the lake. Perfect lake house stay and the owner is so accommodating and sweet. Check in and out was simple. Our daughter asked if we can do it again in the summer to enjoy the property for its full potential!

Christmas memories were made at this wonderful lake home

We spent the 2022 Christmas Holiday at this beautiful Huron lake home. Marcy is fantastic! She added beautiful Christmas decorations and made sure the cabin was well stocked. She also checked in on us after we expereinced bad weather. Everyone was warm and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed everything about this home.

A lovely place where family created memories.

Marcy is the best host ever! Kind, sweet, and accommodating. We were able to celebrate an early Thanksgiving, and thr house had everything we needed. This was our second trip to the property, and we booked for a 3rd year! Quiet neighborhood, walks to the beach and pier at sunrise and sunset. Just a wonderful place to stay!

Extremely clean. Comfortable beds. Kitchen was fully stocked. Excellent attention to details; everything we needed was there. Offered early check in. Loved the park right next door; grilled while watching our granddaughter play. Excellent fishing. Looking forward to returning next year. Plan to go to Cedar Point which you can see from the beach.

Great stay, we will be back!

We were looking for a little getaway at the lake that was family friendly and this was just the place! The main floor is very spacious and great if you have a larger group or kids that need the floor space to play. There were even kids toys, beach toys, games for older kids/adults, books, and DVDs, which was a great surprise. The backyard is a park with some older playground equipment and there’s a small beach a few steps away from there. It was never crowded, maybe 1-2 groups or we were alone. The beach is rocky, but still fun for the little kids to dig and play. It’s blocked in so the waves are not crazy, which is great for swimming and for little ones walking in the water. Cedar point is a short drive away too! We will definitely be back!

Fantastic Vacation Rental with Lake Eerie View

You know we had a great experience when your teens start talking about coming back next year! The home was immaculate and there were so many details Marcy had on hand. The house is not directly on the lake but you get an unobstructed view on the balcony complete with gliding adirondack chairs. When we first arrived, waves at the neighborhood beach made us think kids wouldn't be able to swim there. However, they calmed down the next few days and our teens spent hours out there (be CERTAIN to bring swim shoes for all who are planning to swim.) Marcy was incredibly helpful throughout the trip! You will not get a better vacation home for the price pretty much ANYWHERE. Book now! You will not be disappointed.
