It runs through The City of Huron (no matter where you stay in Huron/North Coast you may hear the trains)- our cottage is further from the tracks than most Huron rentals, but you may hear trains (1.125 miles away)- my guests say they didn't even notice any train sounds. This cottage house has updated double pane windows and new doors and is very cushioned from sound but we wanted to make sure we made these statements We are surrounded by lots of spectacular wildlife & many Canadian geese in the yards and on the roads so enjoy the nature filled surroundings, drive slow and check your shoes often;-)

Better than a 5 star hotel!
This property and its hosts were the absolute best. So many amenities and personal touches. Food and drink provided in the garage fridge with a welcoming personal note on the fridge door that was truly appreciated. I had told Cynthia that I was a birder and she left me a beautiful keepsake and poem, along with a book of the birds of Ohio. The property itself was exceptional. Clean, comfortable, and the beds and linens were top-notch. I have already told my friends that they need to stay here and they would not be disappointed. Thank you Cynthia and Nick for your hospitality and use of your lovely property. Hope to return again someday!

Total Eclipse in paradise
Almost a year ago I looked for the closest bestest place for me to see the totality and landed on Huron Ohio from Chapel Hill, NC. I don't know when VRBO's became amenities and cleanliness and hospitality resembling a hotel, but this is what I found. These guys left drinks, food, provisions, s'mores. What can I say but 5 freakin' stars. Our eclipse experience was amazing, my kids shuffled through all their drawers and secret spaces looking for stuff...we played huge jenga and rowed in a canoe, saw white heron. Do not hesitate to book a stay here....close by amenities, enough to do 'on property', kid friendly, clean!

Tha cottage itself was amazing! The amenities and care to details were above and beyond. Everything needed, wanted, and even things not even though of were there or supplied. The host/owners are amazing people. Only giving 5⭐'s would not do it justice. Like the title says, Above and Beyond!!

Cozy Cottage On The Water
This house was amazing! It was stocked with everything we ever wanted or needed and more! The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and inviting. When we got there, it was very late and the kids were tired, but the house was ready with the lights and TV’s on. The hosts were VERY thoughtful and had some extra supplies for us, knowing we were coming in so late. The garage was stocked with LOTS of stuff to do, which was awesome for the rainy days. We went fishing with the poles they provided, and went out on the boat and kayak. We had no problems at all, and gave suggestions that Cynthia jumped on the same day! We will definitely come back and stay here, the next time we visit, and we have told all of our friends and family to stay here as well, if they come to this area. Thank you for a beautiful time, and letting us make some wonderful memories at your home!
