Perfect Place to Stay

The cabin and property are very well maintained. This is the perfect getaway for a weekend vacation. We used this property as an offsite leadership meeting location. It served us very well with wonderful amenities, ample parking, and beautiful view of the lake. I’d recommend this to anyone!

Great place for fishing trip.

Plenty of space for the party of 8 we had on the trip. Clean, with a great front porch to enjoy the outdoors even when it rained. The location was ok as we needed to drive into Port Clinton to get on our charter. This was our second time staying at the property. Will do it again!!

The place was spacious. The bathrooms were a little small and showers were difficult for some family members to use. The stove was a black glass top, my old eyes had a hard time seeing touch top knobs.
A relaxing few minutes before activities start. Very homie

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