Stayed for several days around New Year’s with a group of family and friends. Warm and cozy home kept us safe from the snowfall coming down and provided beautiful views of the lake! Communication with host was excellent, even went out of their way to help us to successfully operate the hot tub (which was great in the chilly weather) on a holiday. Walking distance to a handful of restaurants and the Vincent William Winery in North Madison. Would absolutely stay again. Thank you!

This was my third year staying at this property, and it never disappoints. The house was very clean upon arrival. The view is spectacular and the house is located in a good neighborhood near William Vincent Winery. The washer/dryer were new from last year. The house is charming. My only suggestion would be to put a queen-sized bed in the room with the closet in the event of two couples staying. As always, leaving was difficult!

Very enjoyable stay by the lake!

We were very happy with the house. It is situated right on the lake and we enjoyed waking up and looking out at the lake everyday. The house we clean and just as described. The hot tub was a nice touch as well. Definitely recommend this for a stay!

The house was great overall. It was VERY cold and windy when we visited, so we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor space at all, which stinks because it looks awesome out there. Because it was very cold when we visited, we were a little short on blankets. We had to borrow some from family that lives in the area during our stay. Additionally, the sheets on all the beds would not stay on. Everyone was complaining about sleeping on the bare mattress protector. These are pretty minor issues for what was an overall great stay in a very nice house.

Thanksgiving Fun!

We love staying here for Thanksgiving. It is a great getaway for our family as its just two hours away which allows some of us to come for the whole week and others for the long weekend. The well equipped kitchen makes holiday meal prep easy and the house is lovely any time of year. We look forward to spending more memory-making vacations in this great house.

About the host

Hosted by Tony & Alexis

Host profile image
We live in a suburb of Youngstown, Ohio. It is only a little over an hour away from home which makes it convenient when we want to get away and relax.

Why they chose this property

It has been a long time dream of ours to have a place in this area. A family member used to have a place in Madison and we always had a good time when we visited. We took many drives in the area over the years searching for a house right on the water and when we found this house we knew we had to have it.

What makes this property unique

As soon as you walk through the door you are met with views of Lake Erie. Sitting on the deck and watching the ships and the beautiful sunsets make you feel like you are at the ocean without having to travel that far.
