Our family enjoyed the house very much. it is an awesome house for entertaining, and we had plenty of space for our 7 guests. The home was very clean!The game room, and the outdoor pool and spa were definitely the highlights of the residence. We were a little surprised that the description of the listing said steps to the Lake. We anticipated a Lake view The fact that the property was adjacent to a very busy road was a little noisy trying to enjoy the pool peacefully.

House was very clean, had everything we needed. Host was great. We enjoyed the game room and hot tub very much. Pool was great, we didn’t have the weather to fully enjoy it but the young kids still made the best of it. We felt the 15 pages of rules was excessive. Otherwise we had a great time.

Everything and more.First of all, Renee was accessible, answering any questions or concerns in a timely fashion and the home had Everything you could need, literally Everything, so don't overpack.The home is clean and spacious. Plenty of space to be together or to get away by yourself. Table games, video games, board games, card games...oh and a large pool and hot tub with plenty of seating outside to enjoy both. If that's not enough to keep you and the kids occupied, there is a large swing/ play set in the yard. Something for everyone with lake Erie a short walk away. Our family and friends had a great time and are looking forward to returning.

Family Vacation

We are a family of 13 ranging in age from 68 to 2 and we rent a house annually for a week so the kids can have fun with the cousins. This house fit what we look for, a pool, large gathering place and a nice kitchen to prepare meals. This house met all of the items we look for and we thank the owner for the opportunity to rent it.

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager Renee

Host profile image
Myself and my husband, Patrick, have been managing this awesome vacation rental property since 2014. We absolutely love this Property and the neighborhood. We have worked very hard to maintain as well as improve it over the years.
We are completely honored to host groups as large as 19 total overnight guests.

Why they chose this property

We have tried to make this home welcoming and accommodating to family groups with members of all ages and smaller adult group gatherings. The private fenced in large outdoor in-ground pool and hot tub, large outdoor pool deck and fenced in grassy play areas provide plenty of outdoor space for entertainment from mid-May through mid-September.
The large Recreation Room provides plenty of space and games for our guests to entertain themselves. Our large private outdoor in-ground 8'x8' hot tub is kept open all year long except for the months of Jan and Feb.
We welcome guests to the area to enjoy all that it has to offer in terms of local attractions but are happy when guests just hang out and enjoy all that the Property has to offer while hopefully creating memories that will last a lifetime!!!

What makes this property unique

The private seasonally (mid May - mid Sep) operated 20' x 40' in-ground heated pool, 8' x 8' in-ground year round hot tub (except for months of Jan & Feb), spacious outdoor sundeck area, outdoor fenced in play area, comfortable home and Recreation/Game Room make this home truly unique!
