Excellent experience

I have stayed in many VRBO properties and this one was by far the most convenient, the cleanest and the best hostess. I would recommend this property for any size group. We have a wonderful time.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Getaway

We needed a place to hold our family Thanksgiving gathering for our large group this year. The cabin had it all. Plenty of sleeping accommodations, games and toys for toddlers to teens, a fire ring for those who braved the cold. There was room to spread out or snuggle together to watch holiday movies. And the kitchen was more than I could have asked for when preparing a Thanksgiving meal for 15! A truly wonderful experience for all of us!

The cabin and private beach area worked out great for our group.

The rustic cabin was well stocked. We were able to grill out and the assistance from the neighbors involved with beach rentals was nice.

Sportsman's cabin

This property was perfect for our group of fishermen. Ample parking for boats and trailers, fish cleaning and freezer space on site, plenty of beds for a large group and close to several boat ramps. We will be back for our next trip to Lake Erie.

Perfect extended family getawsy

My family and I loved our stay. We had 5 adults and 5 kids (aged 5-12) and there was plenty of room for all of us. The kids loved the private beach and the paddle boards/kayaks. It was so convenient to be able to just walk back to the house if we needed something or someone was done swimming. And the firepit on the beach was a great bonus at night. We will definitely plan on a return trip.

Great Getaway

This is a roomy, cozy cabin with all the amenities for a comfortable stay. Well stocked and organized so there's no guessing about what's this for? Nice access to a private beach and has a large yard for spreading out and having fun.
