- 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!

    The home was updated, plenty of extras and was very clean. The description was misleading. I was thinking it was a short walk to the beach. You had to climb a long set of steps. Then a hill and down a bank. To get a good view of the lake you had to go into the neighbors yard. She has dogs so we ended up stepping in their waste. We wasn't told that even though we were charged 80 for room cleaning. We still needed to wash our own towels and sheets before we left. The owner did communicate well with us throughout our visit. It had easy parking and was in a very quiet neighborhood.

    Recently updated, clean, equipped with the essentials, full kitchen, new appliances, air conditioning, fireplace, tvs in every room (but master bedroom tv didn’t turn on). Mostly I wanted to be on the water & the lake was right out the back door. You can’t see the lake from indoors which is really the only disappointment. Climb up 14 steps (cautiously) & you are lakeside. There is a place to make a fire on the hill or on a little peninsula with a shelter (‘cabana,) on it below that appears sometimes might be a boat launch, but it’s overgrown. Quiet. Only saw a couple neighbor kids. Did see a pair of eagles that live nearby someplace! Don’t forget to see the sunset at Webbers restaurant, a family tradition!! Bring bug spray or nets because lake.

    Property is as listed and met our family's needs. It was a very clean and well stocked home. Shower is amazing! Boys enjoyed fishing out back off the rocks. Communication was excellent. One bedroom tv didnt work, but we were there to enjoy the outside, so didn't impact us. If had to nit pick, the couches, beds, and pillows aren't the most comfortable.

    We enjoyed our stay. Was easy to get in and host was easy to get in touch with. The lake is right behind the house and was completely frozen so that was cool to see and our kids liked it. If I had to complain about something I would have to nit pick and be ridiculous like the overly high chairs in another review.

The cottage is close to so many activities, it was difficult to choose what to do first! My husband highly recommend this rental for the perfect peaceful respite. The host is very pleasent, just a phone call or text away if there are any issues.a

    Husband and I stayed at the house for the weekend for a wedding by in a nearby town. Arrived in the dark and the house was as described on the outside and easy to find in the dark. The property has been beautifully decorated and upgraded. The shower was a nice touch with all the spray options. Only downside to our stay were a lot of overlooked spider webs in the light fixtures and the beds weren’t the greatest to sleep on, one being too hard and the other being super noisy when you moved. Overall would definitely recommend the house and would definitely stay again!

    We thoroughly enjoyed this charming little lake front home. It was always several degrees cooler here than when we went into town to shop or for dinner. Wish there had been screens in the living room windows so we could have opened them.

    The owner, Justin, did an amazing job updating this house. It is quaint and located close to the shoreline of Lake Erie. My wife and i enjoyed our time. All of the rooms have been upgraded and electronics connected via Alexa. (That took a little getting used to.) A few items to note: 1. The lock for entry is on the side of the house & the owner recommends using the back door for carrying things in/out. This is good advice as the side entry has higher steps which my be ackward as well as a 90 degree turn into the kitchen. 2. The beds in both rooms have new matresses. These were a bit too firm for my wife's and my liking. If you prefer softer for sleeping, the couch worked better. 3. The two best places on the couch are the reclining seat nearest the kitchen and the corner. I sunk in other spaces and could not get the second reclining seat to recline. 4. Alexa randomly spoke and/or played something without being called upon. 5. There is a gazebo directly behind the house. There were some people partying (end of labor day weekend) and we were initially told by the owner to stay away as the gazebo is private property. Later, he indicated we could go by it but noting it was a work in process. (Recommend this be clearly described in the posting.) 6. Two items outside of the owners control were (a) brown/copperish water for a period of time and (b) intermittent internet connectivity. These didnt last or impact the stay - just some inconvenience.
