You may hear birds, motorized water vehicles, other people, route 2 bridge that is 1200 feet away, There is a railroad system that through the North Coast of Ohio. It runs through The City of Huron (no matter where you stay in Huron/North Coast you may hear the trains)- our cottage is further from the tracks than most Huron rentals, but you may hear trains (1.125 miles away)- my guests say they didn't even notice any train sounds. This cottage house has updated double pane windows and new doors and is very cushioned from sound but we wanted to make sure we made these statements We are surrounded by lots of spectacular wildlife & many Canadian geese in the yards and on the roads so enjoy the nature filled surroundings, drive slow and check your shoes often;-)

Before we even arrived I had communicated with the hosts and they were timely and accurate with their informative responses. The property was perfect, the hosts go way above and beyond. It was just shy of a full concierge setup. Highly recommend. WOW!!!!

Lovely cottage
We were visiting Huron for my nephew's wedding, and we absolutely loved our stay. We wished we had more time to enjoy the surrounding waterways. The property was so beautiful, well-designed and comfortable. Every detail was thoughtfully attended to with great care.The hosts were generous and incredibly kind. It was honestly the nicest short term rental that I have ever stayed at, and my family was so happy and comfortable. Thank you for making a special weekend even more delightful for our family!

Family
Our stay at the vacation rental was truly exceptional. Two families came together and were blown away by the spacious accommodations, beautiful outdoor area, and the abundance of amenities provided. From kayaking and bike riding to fishing and yard games, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The older kids particularly loved exploring the surroundings and spending time on the water with the kayaks. Moreover, the homeowners demonstrated extraordinary hospitality by ensuring that we had everything we needed and more. It was evident that they went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and comfortable. We also appreciated the opportunity to unwind together, whether fishing by the rive or cozying up for a movie night. Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing, and we are grateful for the unforgettable memories created during our time at this fantastic vacation rental.

Anniversary Trip
This is the BEST stocked rental property that I have ever stayed in. They have thought of EVERYTHING! We walked in to 2 bottles of champagne, small gifts, and best wishes on ours and my parents anniversaries. They go above and beyond with the personal little touches to an already wonderful home with a beautiful location right on the river! We loved stayed in Huron away from all the hustle and bustle of Cedar Point at Sandusky, but you’re close enough to go anywhere and do anything that you want! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful property! 10/10 recommend!!

Great updated home
We had a great experience staying here. Home was updated and exceptionally clean. Exactly what we were looking for in a VRBO. The property was tucked away in a quite area with views of the water in the front and back with plenty of wildlife to observe. Kids loved playing in the garage and back yard. Would definitely stay here again when we return to the area!

Better than a 5 star hotel!
This property and its hosts were the absolute best. So many amenities and personal touches. Food and drink provided in the garage fridge with a welcoming personal note on the fridge door that was truly appreciated. I had told Cynthia that I was a birder and she left me a beautiful keepsake and poem, along with a book of the birds of Ohio. The property itself was exceptional. Clean, comfortable, and the beds and linens were top-notch. I have already told my friends that they need to stay here and they would not be disappointed. Thank you Cynthia and Nick for your hospitality and use of your lovely property. Hope to return again someday!

Total Eclipse in paradise
Almost a year ago I looked for the closest bestest place for me to see the totality and landed on Huron Ohio from Chapel Hill, NC. I don't know when VRBO's became amenities and cleanliness and hospitality resembling a hotel, but this is what I found. These guys left drinks, food, provisions, s'mores. What can I say but 5 freakin' stars. Our eclipse experience was amazing, my kids shuffled through all their drawers and secret spaces looking for stuff...we played huge jenga and rowed in a canoe, saw white heron. Do not hesitate to book a stay here....close by amenities, enough to do 'on property', kid friendly, clean!

Cozy Cottage On The Water
This house was amazing! It was stocked with everything we ever wanted or needed and more! The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and inviting. When we got there, it was very late and the kids were tired, but the house was ready with the lights and TV’s on. The hosts were VERY thoughtful and had some extra supplies for us, knowing we were coming in so late. The garage was stocked with LOTS of stuff to do, which was awesome for the rainy days. We went fishing with the poles they provided, and went out on the boat and kayak. We had no problems at all, and gave suggestions that Cynthia jumped on the same day! We will definitely come back and stay here, the next time we visit, and we have told all of our friends and family to stay here as well, if they come to this area. Thank you for a beautiful time, and letting us make some wonderful memories at your home!
