The cottage is conveniently located by the Miller Ferry to Put In Bay and all Lake Erie Islands. There are several restaurants located nearby.

This property matched its description perfectly. Very clean and comfortable for our small group. Nice to have 2 full bathrooms to clean up at the end of our busy days. While not a large property, it delivered for us in every way imaginable. Thanks for sharing your home, we will certainly look to book again in the future.

Excellent experience beginning to end. Our family of four had a terrific autumn weekend visiting our favorite places in Catawba and Marblehead. Melissa was very helpful and responsive to our inquiries, the cottage was clean and included many helpful amenities, and the location cannot be beat. We very much look forward to another stay at this cottage!

We had a great time at the house. The location was perfect since we were there to fish. Weather was beautiful and the lake was calm enough to fish both days.

Great place for a November weekend

Cozy place for the 2 of us. Lots to see and do nearby-hiking, lighthouses and the beach. We enjoyed the Orchard for drinks (the Coop) and later for dinner. Melissa was very responsive and gave us good directions on the house.

So......... I don't like giving negative reviews but this one fell quite short of expectations. First one of beds in the room had a completely broken frame so one of our girls had to sleep on a futon in our bedroom/her parents(super awkward), next there was no toilet paper in the house cept 1 roll, next was the main bedroom door didn't shut at all, not even a bit, next was only the hot sink faucet worked in the main bathroom and next was the showers were luke warm at best. Melissa was very responsive and apologetic, but that doesn't change things. Just too many things overlooked for me to be ok with it. Place was clean, and cute, but broken beds, no hot water, no toilet paper are just not ok in this business.

We have addressed the points you raised with us to ensure a better experience for our future guests.
