Whether you're unwinding on your private sandy beach, enjoying a fire under the stars, or staying in our historic caboose, this property has something special for everyone.

The Main House

Our cozy 3 bedroom, two-bath home is designed for comfort and relaxation. You will love the loft that has a day-bed futon. With new central air conditioning, you stay comfortable no matter the season. The open-concept living space is perfect for gathering with family and friends, while large windows offer stunning views of the Lake.

The Caboose -A unique & Cozy stay

One of the most exciting features of our property is our real train caboose, which has been converted into a large oversized private bedroom with a half bath. This unique space provides a fun and memorable lodging experience for train enthusiasts, kids, or anyone looking for a stay outside the ordinary. The caboose offers a cozy retreat while still just steps away from the main house. It has a queen-sized bed and four berths. Its also air conditioned. Some people love sleeping with the doors open to the one-acre lot

We are close to all the area's points of interest, including Cedar Point and the ferries to the Lake Erie Islands. Put in Bay, the winery, Middle, and North Bass. Many of our guests spend the day on Kelley's Island. Many great golf courses are just a short drive away. Fishing charters are also close by.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Rath

Host profile image
We are a middle-aged married couple with four children (two girls/two boys). Our children are married and we have eight grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house house to stay engaged with our children and so we can vacation together. We all live in the greater Cleveland area but as they got older it was harder to get together. This house works out perfectly. We let everyone know when we will be there and everyone comes up when they can.

What makes this property unique

We think you will love every minute. From sunrise over Sandusky Bay until you see the moon reflecting off the water. The views are breathtaking. We think you will also love the beach, as we have one of the few private beaches in the whole area. Ours is just steps away from the patio! Many of our guests really love just sitting quietly and enjoying the beach and the views. The real caboose gives our house something unique and adds great personality while serving as a comfortable spot for up to four people. This is a natural setting for bird watching. Eagles, Ducks Egrets are seen every day.
