About this property

CATAWBA ISLAND, QUAINT & SERENE COTTAGE

Tucked away down a long drive to Lake Erie is this charming cottage with panoramic views of the Lake. Quaint and quiet in a peaceful setting to enjoy ready, resting and grilling outside. This cottage has been updated and is clean and well maintained. A Queen size bed with A/C, modern updated bath with shower, full kitchen for cooking and morning coffee. The kitchen is open to the living room with views of Lake Erie. A Harbor Room (enclosed porch) opens to the panoramic view of the Lake. Each Cottage (though attached) is booked separately. Great for 2 small families or 2 couples, girlfriend get a way, visit your boat, private time alone, etc. It's just a quick walk to the Twin Oust Brewery and a short drive to other fine and casual restaurants on Catawba. A short drive to the Miller Ferry for a day at the bay.

Fantastic Lake Erie getaway for two

The location on Catawba could not be better. Magnificent lake views (and sunrises) from the large screened-in porch were a real treat. The entire cottage was very clean, and the kitchen and bath were well-equipped. The tiny bedroom (bed access from one side only) was a little awkward, but one of us slept on the very comfortable couch, and it worked out fine. Centrally located among all of the birding hotspots in northwest Ohio. Great restaurants and parks nearby. We loved our stay and will be back!

We enjoyed staying at the twin cottages. It was clean, comfortable and in a private setting which made relaxing even better! We loved the sunrises and the eagle flying over the lake. It was beautiful!

Quaint and serene duplex

We liked watching the sunrise at the rocky but semi private beach. The layout of the house is unusual but it was an extremely great value for a short stay visiting the islands. The staff has done a great job taking care of the property.

Nice clean modernized cabin on the rocky shore of Lake Erie. Panoramic view of the lake and sunrise from indoors or out. No swimming or wading (rocky sea wall), but public beaches are nearby.

Quint cottage

Perfect place to just relax enjoy the lake, loved the location, out of the way of all the busy the lake can be but so close to anything you want to explore from put in bay to Kelly island to Port Clinton. Short drive to the major stores ( Kroger Walmart and up scale grocery. Within 5 minutes to millers ferry.

Glorious views

Third year visiting with my elderly mom. We love it here. We saw several bloodmoon rises, a rainbow, 5 bald eagles, a partial lunar eclllipse and a blimp. We ordered groceries for our nine day stay from a nearby department/grocery store and settled in for listening to the lake and some mean games of Yahtzee. The cottage is clean and comfie and the kitchen is well equipped. We’ll be back n year.
