We enjoyed staying at the twin cottages. It was clean, comfortable and in a private setting which made relaxing even better! We loved the sunrises and the eagle flying over the lake. It was beautiful!
Nice clean modernized cabin on the rocky shore of Lake Erie. Panoramic view of the lake and sunrise from indoors or out. No swimming or wading (rocky sea wall), but public beaches are nearby.
We liked watching the sunrise at the rocky but semi private beach. The layout of the house is unusual but it was an extremely great value for a short stay visiting the islands. The staff has done a great job taking care of the property.
Great communication about location, check-in and check-out. Cute little lakefront cottage, very clean inside (could use a little cleaning on the outside). Small bedroom, bed wasnt that comfortable for us but orhers
Third year visiting with my elderly mom. We love it here. We saw several bloodmoon rises, a rainbow, 5 bald eagles, a partial lunar eclllipse and a blimp. We ordered groceries for our nine day stay from a nearby department/grocery store and settled in for listening to the lake and some mean games of Yahtzee. The cottage is clean and comfie and the kitchen is well equipped. We’ll be back n year.
Perfect place to just relax enjoy the lake, loved the location, out of the way of all the busy the lake can be but so close to anything you want to explore from put in bay to Kelly island to Port Clinton. Short drive to the major stores ( Kroger Walmart and up scale grocery. Within 5 minutes to millers ferry.
Right on Lake Erie at the end of a dead end road. Very quiet and peaceful. The property looked a bit rustic when I pulled up. However, the inside has been upgraded and remodeled. Great for a couple or family with up to two small children. One bedroom with a queen bed and a couch that folds out into a bed. All appliances in working order. The kitchen is stocked with plates, glasses and a variety of cooking pots, pans and utensils.
This cottage is very clean esp kitchen& very new fresh towels.. View of the lake is terrific
The living area and kitchen are as pictured however I would not have picked this place. Had I known the bedroom was so incredibly small no place for luggage only one side of the bed had access to get in.The Bedroom should be included in the pictures
This is the second time we’ve stayed here and it’s perfect for a weekend getaway. A gorgeous view of Kelley’s island, close to Twin Oast and the Orchard as well as the ferries to put in bay and Kelley’s. We love it!
My husband and I stayed there for 5 days.
We expected a no frills cabin and that is what this is. Beautiful view, bed and couch were comfy.
The check in process is clunky. I would recommend improving that part. But all else was great. Thanks for the memories!
The views from the property are always beautiful. The community is quiet which makes for a peaceful and stress free stay. The host was incredibly accomodating and easy to work with. While the property is very basic with little ammendmenties, it makes up for with the area, and things to do. We were able to bring all of our own stuff and enjoyed shopping and getting local favorites.
I was impressed with our cottage! It was very clean! The kitchen is perfect if you want to cook during your stay...everything provided! The view from the sitting room was so nice. We opened the windows and could hear the waves crashing along the rocks, which was especially nice at night :-)
Note- the couch is also updated from when the pictures were taken!
We loved the convenient location to Orchard Bar & Table, Twist Oast Brewery, and Miller's Ferry.
The only thing I would change is the shower head...the shower is small and could use a more flexible shower head to allow you to be out of the water as needed for washing hair, shaving, etc.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would consider staying again in the future. Thank you!!!
