Wonderful stay!

We loved the “homey” feel of the property and the neighbors were all so friendly and welcoming! Staying at this property, walking distance from the lake, definitely beat staying in a hotel!! The owners were also great to work with as we were there for a baseball tournament and requested check-in/out flexibility.

Wonderful accommodations!

The house was big enough and had enough beds for the 12 of us to each have our own. The walk to the lake was something many of the guests enjoyed!

Wonderful Thanksgiving

The property was perfect for 13 of us gather and spend thanksgiving together. We spent the chilly mornings collecting shells on the beach and taking wonderful pictures of Lake Erie. My toddler loved being so close to trains and being able to see and hear pretty much any time of the day. The property owners are great to deal with, we had some plumbing issues, and they were quick to respond us even late at night.

Perfect for us!

We love Mitiwanga but it is sometimes tough to find accommodations in which we need separate beds. This place met all of our needs, a quick hop to the beach, several beds, a great kitchen to food prep while conversing with others and a large dining area to enjoy big meals! Thanks so much for a lovely stay!!! We'll be back!

Cute Place

Very clean and cute place. Not much parking and house on a busy street. Didn’t feel comfortable having a group outside due to close neighbors and trying to keep fairly quiet. Otherwise great experience.

Comfy space

It was a comfy space that accommodated our large group. It was pretty clean, but there was a dirty diaper (pull-up) in the drawer in one of the bedrooms upstairs. We wished there were a few more pots and pans to cook in. We needed a toaster or toaster oven. Location and neighborhood were amazing. Overall we had a good time and would rent from here again.😃

Lake area

This house was central for our group and worked okay. The upstairs is odd. The kitchen is small, but the backyard and patio was great for hanging out and having a fire. Nothing outstanding, but it worked. Community volleyball, park, and beach would bring us back.

Great location for a family!

The house and location were perfect for our large family. Fenced in back yard is perfect for a toddler. Lots to do! Beautiful private beach, searching for beach glass, benches on the dune to watch the sunset, grilling and fire pit for roasting marshmallows. We enjoyed our stay!

Alot of beds.

We loved how open the downstairs is. Outdoors was nice.The kitchen was also nice and came with pots and pans both keurig and a regular coffee pot, crockpot,toaster etc... If you plan on using the fire pit you have to get wood for it. We found small $5 bundles at Dollar General right up the road. Upstairs it is a little cramped if you have older kids and older family members but there is more beds then listed and very much appreciated. This was good so we could all spread out in the tight spaces. Overall I would recommend this place it was quiet, safe and entertaining. They have plenty of outside games, and equipment to use. The only thing I would recommend is to bring extra towels especially if you use more then one with a group of 10.

Private, Quiet community house !

Great House and Location !! We have a small group that gets together a few times a year to Fish Lake Erie and this years Fall trip we decided to rent a place that we could all stay together and make it more about the Breakfasts, Fishing, Dinners and the days stories !! Looks like there are even more activities here to enjoy on a summer trip that we were not able to take advantage of due to us wanting to be on the water during daylight hours but definitely a great gathering house for larger families ( tons of sleeping capacity )or a couple families that want to spend some time together. Thank You for sharing your house with us Tim !!

Very nice stay, Awesome location

We stayed at this Lake House for a Girls Getaway Trip. As front line healthcare workers we were impressed that the property was so clean and located in a great location. We walked to the beach shoreline in less than 3 minutes. There were 7 people in my group and each person had their own bed and sleeping area. Very nice stay, would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Tim & Kim Walsh, Dan & Becky Gibel

"Go Jump In the Lake" is co-owned by the Gibels (a family of 6) and the Walshes ( a family of 5) and as new owners we have only just begun to enjoy the weeks and weekends in this home. We can tell you the Mitiwanga community is quiet and friendly with one of the best sandy beaches that Lake Erie has to offer. We are eager for you to thoroughly enjoy our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

We love the location of this house which is in the heart of all the summertime fun that Lake Erie has to offer. It is within 45 minutes of events happening in Cleveland to the east and Port Clinton and the Lake Erie Islands to the west. This house is large enough for multiple generation family get togethers or several families to share. With a double lot, this property boasts a big fenced-in yard that is very unusual for the neighborhood. The house has been updated while simultaneously retaining some of the unique features of the original 100 year old cottage.
