This was our third stay, and it was great as usual. The host is awesome from the start of the booking process, during the stay and upon departure. The location on Lake Erie is wonderful with daily changing views of the lake. The house and property are always immaculately clean.

This is our second time staying here and it was even better than the first (which was also awesome)! Beautiful and clean like last time but a few more kitchen amenities were provided, and the weather cooperated for us more this time. Highly recommend this rental!!

The home was as advertised! I have stayed at many properties in my travels and this by far was the most impressive of them all. George (the host) was very accomodating and pleasant. He has thought of most things any visitor could need and delivered a 5 star experience for myself and family. The veiws of lake Erie from the waterfront property are breathtaking. The outdoor accommodations are equally as great as the interior of the home. I will definitely be returning in the spring. I just want to say thank you to George and Ron the neighbor who was very helpful and friendly.

Lovely, comfortable, clean, well appointed, right on the lake

We stayed here over th long graduation weekend at Oberlin. Wish we had found it earlier in her 5 years. Oberlin is a straight shot down from the lake, 13 miles, an easy & relaxing 25 min The title gives our summary of the property. We particularly enjoyed the many herons and occasional osprey cruising by the water's edge up high. Lovely sunsets too! Attentive, helpful, unobtrusive hosts.
