Great time, close to public ramp. I would not put it as boat parking friendly and plan on taking your fishing remains with you as there are no locations to dispose of them. House had musty smell if you are sensitive to smells. Shower was fantastic. Overall good!

The listing sounds as of there is two bedrokmns with multiple beds on each. There is one bed in one of the bedrooms. The couches worked just as well. Outside of that, the place was amazing and Roger is very hospitable. We loved our stay.

3 feet of snow and a state of emergency but still great!

We were unaware of just how bad the weather was going to be when we got there. Host had texted me via the VRBO app that day but I didn’t see it. Mr Harrah was extremely communicative with us the whole time and just an overall great guy. More than that was how amazing the community was. Everyone was so helpful and took care of us. Special shout to Nikki’s Bar! They took us in when we couldn’t get down our street and treated us like family with cold beers and got pizza so we could warm up! We will be back but will def check the weather with the new folks we met first!

Good Weekend Trip

Communicating with Roger was very easy. Only reason I’d give this a 4 instead of 5 stars is small things. We didn’t realize neighbors were so close based on photos (but overall didn’t affect us), the porch had quite a bit of cob webs and the furniture was a little broken. It also was hard to cool off the house as it was pretty warm outside. However, the main bedroom where we slept was nice and cool with the AC. It really was a great location, close to the beach area and restaurants, and worked for our quick weekend trip. I don’t remember if this was included before-but no WiFi. Didn’t bother us. We really did enjoy it and it worked for a quick weekend!

Thank you Kevin for the review. Houses so close to the Lake are hard to keep outside spotless. I’m glad you took advantage of the many nearby restaurants and the beach/park. I have installed a second air conditioner. I appreciate you taking such good care of my place. Come back anytime

Rundown down, unsafe and MOLD

This rental was horrible. The entrance door had a keyless entry but isn't held in by an actual catch, the door moved about 3/4" in the jamb and was only held shut by about 1/4" of wood left in the jamb. VERY UNSAFE. There were tons of cobwebs everywhere which led me to think it wasn't cleaned for some time- host claimed that bugs are present because of the lake... Only the kitchen and the larger room (being used as a bedroom) were air conditioned with window units. There is a second room that had 2 twin bed shoved in it, one of which covered an egress door that had exposed spray foam insulation and a window that looked like it was falling out- it was very hot in that room. The larger room smelled of mildew and mold and mold was present above the one window unit. That unit was in a sliding window with a towel placed over the inoperable side to cover the window. The owners had air fresheners placed in a bunch of places to mask the odors but it wasn't enough. The kitchen looked to have been redone recently as well as the restroom, the peninsula.wasn't attached very well to the wall and paint was peeling off the walls in a few spots. The pergola was leaning against the house and if someone leaned on it wrong it could come crashing down. We had to leave because of the safety concerns and mold issues, as well as the room that was too hot. Owner offered a fan, not very hospitable. Not sure why there were so many positive reviews but beware, owner will not refund. DISGUSTING!

There are so many good reviews because my property deserves them. What’s funny is I have been renting that property for over 4 years and I have had many many happy guests whom come back every year. There is no mold, cobwebs, or bugs inside my cottage. Mayflies can be a problem outside because my cottage is by the lake. I stopped by to respond to your complaints and found nothing wrong. No bad smell and the place was clean as usual. The rooms were all cool so I’m confused concerning your bad review and what your motives truly are.

About the host

Hosted by Roger

Host profile image

I’m a life long resident of Ashtabula County and retired firefighter. I can give great recommendations on food, fishing, and other fun things to do in the area.

Why they chose this property

The Lake Shore Park neighborhood is very safe and quiet. You can observe Bald Eagles, or hang out at the nearby boat ramp and bait shop to watch the fishermen bring in their catch. The park itself is within walking distance from the cottage. The park offers picnic areas and a covered pavilion, frisbee golf course, beach area, swimming, fishing, and a boat ramp.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is walking distance to Lake Erie and Lake Shore Park.
