The house was older but great! The video game didn’t work but Kevin came and replaced it. He was nice and communicative. Checking out was easy too.
The McKinley house allowed three families (siblings and kids!) to stay together, share meals, play games and get to Cedar Point with ease. From age 2-54, we all had fun. The host noticed that the game table was not working and sent us a partial efund even though we neither complained nor requested a refund. Hotel options in the area are pretty bare bones and the McKinley house is a welcoming home that was a soft place to land after the long days at the parks. I recommend without hesitation.
The house is clean, comfortable, lots of room, lots of games and activities. We enjoyed our stay very much. Definitely would stay there again if we get back that way.
Location to Cedar Point was great. House was big, clean, well stocked and lots to entertain our teens.
This is the perfect spot if you have a larger group going to Cedar Point or doing activities in the area. I will note that the temperature fluxuates room to room and the beds/pull out couches aren't the most comfortable, but it's clean, a great space and affordable if you want a fun space to have some down time together. Aside from food, they had everything we needed from linens to utensils.
We came up to Cedar Point for a basketball shootout and the property was perfect for our team and adult chaperones. Plenty of rooms, spaces for the girls to hang out, and house was very clean. The outdoor space was fun for the night and the girls enjoyed the fire and cornhole games. Thank you for allowing us to stay.
We enjoyed this property so much that we decided to stay in each evening after spending our days visiting family, enjoying the near-by attractions, and Cedar Point (of course) which was only 5-10 minutes away. Some family came by to visit us, and we had plenty of room in the spacious backyard to enjoy. The owner supplied us with all the cooking hardware and sleeping spaces we needed. My family had plenty of room to spread out if we wanted to. If you want to enjoy the close proximity to downtown and attractions, have a large group, or even a small group that would enjoy a larger living environment, this is your place to be.
We require a large house that can hold 20 people for all our kids and grandkids to spend holidays together. No issues with the house and matched exactly what we needed.
This was a great place to stay for a weekend getaway. Lots of charm and tons of room, plus all the amenities you could ask for.
The home was very clean and spacious enough for family gatherings. The home's décor gives a cozy cabin feel which adds to the overall vibe of the property. The property also has common areas that promote socializing indoors and outdoors.
We got in a little late and the code we got was incorrect, but Kevin responded immediately to a phone call and resolved it right away. The house was beautiful. There were places it was showing its age but for such a classic it was in excellent shape. Just wish we had more time to enjoy all the amenities.
We were excited to stay here until arrival when we got a very long message of all the things we can’t do and the consequences if we did them. There are cameras all over the place. We understand security, but the manager wrote in our message that it is used to watched who and how many go in and out for head count. So he admitted the cameras were to watch us and not just for security purposes. We did not let our children out the entire time because we didn’t want him watching them. We even felt like he was watching us from inside the house, but could not find interior cameras. Overall, it was not fun at all and we stayed away from the house as much as we could. We have stayed in many places and never had this kind of awful experience before. When you book this property, you will receive all his “fine print” dos and don’ts and will make you extremely uncomfortable. We talked to a lawyer during a consultation because we were so upset about the cameras, but ended up not going forward with it as it was not worth the time and money in the end. The nice big patio you may think looks fun has 4-5 cameras on it. And he will tell you that he has a property manager that lives directly across the street and will be watching how many are there too. Then if there are extra people on camera, they will send you $90 bill for each. Again, he messaged me that the purpose for cameras was to watch how many are going in and out and that his manager across the street watches. We also had 9 people in the “sleeps 21” house. If anyone over the headcount shows up it is an extra $60-$90 even though the house accommodates 21.
We stayed for a bachelorette weekend and it was a great experience! The house is located so close to Cedar point and to the main strip in Sandusky. Kevin was a great host and answer any questions very quickly. Highly recommend!
The house was very nice. The refrigerator was a little difficult to shut all the way. Lots of room and the kids loved all the games .
Awesome home! Kevin was amazing at communicating with us and the house was perfect for us! I went with a large family and lots of kids. It had room for all of us! Great experience! ?
Location convenient to everything. Any issue we had was quickly addressed.
It was an easy access to everything in the house. Its big and comfortable for a large family and everything is conveniently close by.
Amazing
Great, large home! Only things missing were coffee pods for my morning coffee . There was an issue with downstairs shower, but owner notified us and did try to have it fixed.
Great rental for our 10 person party. We came up for 2022 Bike week and had a blast. Nice location and very good communication with Owner. We would recommend this location and will look to rent again.
