We will be back!

We appreciated this cozy little, but spacious lake cottage for our weekend getaway. All the amenities and details thought of, which made it possible just to load my whole family in the car with just a couple days worth of clothes and toiletries. The location is perfect. Secluded enough to have peace and quiet, but close enough to stores (incase you forgot something) and places to dine out. We had a great weekend!

Amazing place for families!

Lots of really cool small treasures around the house for families, loved all the board games really was awesome to find cards against humanity. The hidden playroom under the stairs was the coolest ever as well as the hammock swing thing in the back yard. Only needed to reach out to owner one time for a small question and got a very prompt response. Thanks for having us, will probably be back in the future!

FANTASTIC!

We had 5 adults, 3 year old and 7 month old. How accommodating the home was! The description of the property was right on! So many nooks and crannies for the 3 year old!! She did not want to leave!!! Would absolutely do it again!!!

Very good property with lot of great views

Property is very nice and is accurate with online listing. The only thing i would like to mention is that interiors like sink should be repaired so that pipe is fixed and the water goes away. There are lot of cob webs and spiders that should be cleaned too. The views are awesome from outside the house. It is on the cliff and as the online listing says you can drive to the beach.

Hi Murli, My apologies- we were unaware of any sink issues. The description clearly states that the cottage is a short drive to the public beach and does not mention a private beach whatsoever.

Wonderful Family Vacation

Our Family had a wonderful time in this well stocked cottage. The views were spectacular, and the neighborhood was a delight. The house provided all our needs and the fenced in back yard along with the use of the garage was a bonus for the kids to play safely outside. The cottage offered a family friendly, nostalgic atmosphere and it was within proximity to lots of amenities. The Conneaut City park with the beach was amazing, and just down the road, perfect for families with children. Conneaut Creek was close by and offered fishing and kayaking opportunities, while Presque Isle State Park was not too far away. We even visited Niagra Falls during our stay (it's only 2hrs away). We would definitely recommend you check it out.
