3rd stay.. just as great!

4 night stay for a May walleye trip, our 3rd stay here in as many years. I can honestly say that Patty has thought of everything for this house, perfect for a fishing trip and imagine it would be awesome for a family islands excursion as well. Well equipped kitchen, great common spaces (inside and out), comfy beds and excellent amenities! Only wish we could stay longer!

Not just for fishermen!

Our family of 5 was in the area for a wedding and we spent two nights at the Catawba Fish House. It was a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and comfortable. We especially appreciated that there was plenty of parking out front and a lovely, well-maintained sitting area out back. The host was accommodating and easy to communicate with, both before and during our stay.

Lakeside Home Base

This property hits it “outta the park” with great location, being well-stocked, and spacious. More than enough rooms for kids and multiple families looking to take advantage of what our Lake Erie shores has to offer. Thanks Patty!

Birthday at the Catawba Fish House

We decided to celebrate my wife’s birthday with a trip to the islands in Lake Erie, neither one of us had ever been to the area so we decided to stay on Catawba fish house for us and about five of our friends. The house was very spacious for everyone clean and very well organized and label to find everything. What a nice homebase for an island adventure. Would highly recommend for a relaxing trip or a fishing trip. Very well suited for both. Look forward to visiting again.

Great weekend

House was excellent and in a great location. Kids loved the bunk rooms and we made use of the fire pit both nights we stayed. The only negative is that the house is located on a pretty busy street and the bait shop sign was lit all night and shined pretty bright into the backyard. I do highly recommed the property, especially if your looking for a place with great boat trailer parking for fishing trips...especially with the catawba launch 5 min down the road. We didnt bring the boat this time, but i will be sure to keep it in mind for my next fishing trip.

Cute and it’s a nice location

Just need to mention all of us who stayed said the photos don’t give this property justice. It’s bigger than photos show. The bunk beds are a nice size and two ladies could fit on one bed. Most preferred to not take the top bunk lol. I received a cute welcome bag, travel size shampoo , conditioner and body soap given. Lots of towels and they had choices of ground coffee or k cup coffee. Let’s not forget the neighbor and bait shop people were so fun and kind! We loved this location!!! I will definitely keep this home in my favorites to book again. I already asked the ladies when we could go back and we just left this morning!
