Weekend with Friends
Outstanding place to come hangout with a group of friends. We had 10 adults for the weekend. The living space and kitchen is wide open for dinner and gathering. The game room will keep you busy just as long as the pool and hot tub. I will definitely be staying here again. The host was very friendly and fast to respond to anything. The entire place has all essential for cooking and was very clean. 10/10 experience, highly recommend!

The house is right on a main road, and all those beds in only four bedrooms made for interesting groupings. We loved the pool and "rec" room and had great family times mostly staying at the site and ignoring the lake. Easy access to Cedar Point.

House was nice, kitchen was great! Lots of things to use. Lots of beds but so many were in each room. Upstairs is not for tall people! We were required to do a lot of cleaning prior to leaving in order to get our deposit back, which isn’t what you want to do after a relaxing weekend. Pool was great!

Great time fishing at Lake Erie
Had a great time and would recommend this rental to anyone. We will rent it again if/when we come back to go fishing again. We had a group of 11 people that were meeting to go fishing for Walleye at Lake Erie for a bachelor party. The house worked out great for us. Plenty of bedrooms and beds. Also, the game room was a real plus. We played a lot of cards, dice, and games around the table which was a great time amongst friends. Everything was well laid out. As others have said, the level of detail on the cleanup is quite extensive. There are two parts to that. First, it was a bit of overkill, but the details were all given up front. Second, while extensive, I can appreciate the detail and care put into the instructions. We did the cleanup and the only things we were charged for is laundry which was expected. Renee, the property manager, was very responsive and helpful! Our experience was solid all the way around!

Fun Family Vacation Spot
Our extended family of 10 (adults and small children) stayed at the property and had a great time. The pool and rec room were fantastic and we spent the majority of our time there during our stay. The saltwater pool is beautiful, but the hot tub could use an update. Everything was very organized in the kitchen, which made cooking easy. We all agreed that we would stay again someday.
