Labor day
We had a great stay. The house was great with plenty of room. Responses from Allen were timely. It was great being able to walk several hundred feet on packed sand in the lake. However, there was one large step to get in. Really enjoyed the area too. Went to Marblehead lighthouse, Johnson Island, and the peach, perch, pierogi and polka festival. We would rent again. Thank you

Peaceful setting
Our family stayed here for a couple of days. The two living areas are open to the kitchen so we never felt like we were on top of each other. I just wish there was a dishwasher since we like to cook in. The outdoor space is wonderful. The yard was great for playing games. At night we enjoyed the fire pit by the lake. Would be nice to have a couple more chairs

Good option for a family
We stayed here during a nearby family vacation and it was great for what we needed. We didn’t have the opportunity to use the property as much as we might have wanted to. It was clean and comfortable. The house is dated but in a welcoming and comfy way. The only thing I didn’t like was that it is very close to houses on both sides and there was no great way to get in and out of the water should you want to take advantage of the location.

Summer Vacation
We had a great time on Lake Erie. Allen was great to communicate with and very responsive. The ability to walk out the back door right into the water was a game-changer with two teenage boys. The water is not deep at all and we were able to walk out several hundred feet and barely get to our waist. Space was very comfortable for four of us and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook most meals.

Beautiful Lakefront Property
This is one of the rare properties in the area that puts you right on the water. This property has easy access to the water which makes it ideal for families looking for private swimming access. We also had easy check in and check out. You will not be disappointed with this property if you are looking for a lakefront getaway.

Enjoy the Lake!
This home is absolutely lovely, perfect location and plenty of room for family to enjoy the lake. There are so many amenities close by. Our grandsons enjoyed swimming in the lake everyday and it was safe since the water level is low with sand bottom. The bedrooms were spacious and we enjoyed having two living areas to separate kids from adults. We particularly chose this property because it had a spacious fenced yard because we had a two year old and wanted to keep him safe from the lake. We totally enjoyed this home and would stay again.

Fun Ladies Getaway
Everything was as listed. A very charming cottage right on the water. Very clean and well stocked with the essentials. I only had question for Allen and he responded right away. Great location for quick access to ferry's to the islands. Unfortunately the weather was cold and rainy so we couldn't fully enjoy the outdoor patio. The sun came out the morning we left and gave us the most beautiful view of the lake! Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful views and sunsets
Charming, vintage cottage within steps of Lake Erie. Plenty of space for the five of us, all seniors getting together for a pre-50th high school class reunion. While we did enjoy the cottage and there was plenty of room, it was decided that a one level cottage with more bathrooms is on our must have list next time around. And if you decide to prepare meals at this cottage, better cookware is desirable. Convenient location to major attractions and amenities. Quality bed linens were appreciated, but window air conditioning was loud and needs to be updated. Also, be aware that you may not have access to the lake for swimming. We did not. All in all we had a very good time and the warm atmosphere of the cottage contributed to that.

If you have favorable expectations, be cautious
The property's furnishings were dated and worn. Window A/C unit barely cooled the house during the day. Family room had no A/C unit. Pots and pans were old, bad condition, we found them unacceptable. Owner did not return a phone call for information. Is it a VRBO practice to instruct departing guests to strip beds and start washer? Single ply toilet paper, realy.

About the host

Host profile image
We purchased the home in 2016 and have made some fresh updates while keeping its charm and character. It has a fun nautical theme partnered with local wildlife details. We guarantee satisfaction!

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the home, its welcoming, spacious and best of all has 60 feet of lakefront. The yard is great for outdoor activities and the sea wall is a huge ringside seat to the water.

What makes this property unique

Great for gathering of family and friends or a cozy retreat. Especially clean and tidy!
