Everything we needed was here

This location was great for our group. We were able to access Lake Erie easily and had fun at the local bar at the end of the channel. The house had everything we needed to cook, clean fish and games to keep us occupied.

Weeklong fishing trip

The house was clean, spacious and well maintained. There was plenty of room to park my boat in the driveway. A nice dock was available out back on the canal, but we were fishing more towards Sandusky, so we didn't use it. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. This will definitely be my first chioce when staying at Lake Erie.
