***This is a lake house. It is beautiful being on the water, but it also brings different bugs and spiders. We do spray for them, but unfortunately life on the lake is a bit different.***

- Commonly asked questions -
Is the property located directly on the water?
Yes, the house is directly on the water, no other property separates you from Lake Erie. There is a hill that was built 30 years ago to prevent the peninsula from flooding, so you must walk up a hill located 40 foot out the back door to see the water.
Can you swim, is there a beach?
While I don't recommend swimming, you can. It is very rocky beach out back. Some people have brought kayaks to launch and have had no issues.
Is there room to park my boat? Can I fish?
You can fish out back, pick your lucky spot on the rocks and cast a line! There is room for boat parking, I will just need a heads up. The local launch is about 2 miles away, and you are split pretty even between Catawba and Detroit for fishing!

We had a fabulous stay at this property! It’s a really cute house and was perfect for our needs while in town for a week to visit with family. The home was easy to access and is located in a good quiet neighborhood setting. We absolutely will book here again.
The host was welcoming and the house was just lovely. The view of the lake was fantastic from the top of the berm and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.
House was very clean and well stocked with utensils, coffee, etc. We walked through the neighborhood admiring everyones beautiful flowers and along the lake. Check in was easy. Definitely recommend!
House was clean and cozy, and provided excellent views for back yard birdwatching. Also, being a short drive to several local nature preserves and many restaurants is a huge bonus. We will remember this spot!
Everything was clean and comfy. Great experience all around.
