Check the Hot Spot board in the kitchen for area attractions including Food Favorites, Fun Locations, Area Attractions, Fishing spots and contacts and more.

We we will be adding as we go to enhance our guest's stays!

We have also provided a wonderful bit of entertainment in the main room including the Big Screen 65” 4k UHD TV ( you can stream all your favorites with your personal log ins) and w/ blue tooth sound bar in the living area (that you can also use to enjoy your favorite tunes (streaming them however you like on the fast, complimentary WIFI).

You'll quickly notice "The Coffee Dock" in the kitchen. This features complimentary Keurig K cup Coffees, flavored creamers, sugars, Splenda and mugs to help get your days started....or to wind down in the evening if that's your style. We’ll add complimentary items here as they become available, but Coffees and creamers are a staple of the coffee Dock!

As previously mentioned we've tried to complete your vacation stay by providing all basic, and not so basic cooking utensils and supplies! We’ll stock plenty of cooking oils to prepare your favorite dishes, and will begin to stock the home with many tasty spices so you can kick it up a notch!

Grill and Chill !!
The Garage area is available for outdoor relaxation with an outdoor glider, indoor/outdoor bench and Adirondack chairs + Bistro set and more.......and an outdoor grill area featuring an excellent Weber grill and utensils. Nothing “fancy”, but we have updated the paint and flooring for the 2025 season, and have also added a gorgeous 55" Wall Mounted 4K Tv to the garage area! Watch TV and relax with a drink @ the Grill!

A nice area to enjoy a relaxing afternoon or evening in Port Clinton, Ohio (with plenty of seating for your guests).
