- Commonly asked questions -

Is the property located directly on the water?

Yes, the house is directly on the water, no other property separates you from Lake Erie. There is a hill that was built 30 years ago to prevent the peninsula from flooding, so you must walk up a hill located 40 foot out the back door to see the water.

Can you swim, is there a beach?

While I don't recommend swimming, you can. It is very rocky beach out back. Some people have brought kayaks to launch and have had no issues.

Is there room to park my boat? Can I fish?

You can fish out back, pick your lucky spot on the rocks and cast a line! There is room for boat parking, I will just need a heads up. The local launch is about 2 miles away, and you are split pretty even between Catawba and Detroit for fishing!

Beautiful location just outside Toledo
The house was nice. Had everything we needed. The trees were full of birds singing, there are a couple eagles who stayed in the trees just outside and the squirrels were friendly too. The water was brown and unswimable, but overall, absolutely beautiful. Happy we booked here! Check in and out was easy and owner was responsive to messages.

I wish I could have stayed longer
The house was clean, peaceful, fully stocked with dish/ cookware, towels, sheets and more. Had everything we needed. I also enjoyed making a fire by the lake and fishing. I would definitely stay there again.

Great Stay
Very easy check in process and the owner was very quick when I had questions. The only thing I will note is that the bed made noises at any little movement, and it kept waking me up. Also, the back deck really needs to be redone. Overall I was very happy with my stay.

Quiet and scenic
Take your lawn chairs to the top of the backyard stairs and enjoy a wonderful, private view of Lake Erie. The house is on the northeast point of Toledo, and it’s an easy 20-30 minute drive to most all the attractions and points of of interest. Quiet neighborhood and house is just as described.

Quiet Getaway
We wanted a place to just relax and recharge and this was just that place. Very quiet neighborhood and the house was immaculate and beautiful. We even survived the tornado and golf ball size hail the last night there! Justin was a perfect host and even checked on us after the storm! Thanks Justin!
