This cottage was a great place for my group of friends to stay for a few nights. Not too far from town yet very quiet. It had plenty of space for everyone. Sheets and towels were provided, which was a surprise since all communication said that they would not be.

PIB rental

Property was just ok. It was clean and our family had a great time but I just do not feel it’s worth the amount of money we spent (to include a 415 service fee)! The house has many different levels and you have to walk through someone’s room to get to the additional bedroom. The deck is peeling and needs refinished. Could have nicer patio furniture. We have stayed in much nicer places for less without the ridiculous service fee….

We had a wonderful little cottage. It was decorated very nice and had lots of room. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to eat/cook there without going out. The location was on a dead end road with no access to the water but it was very quiet. Not fancy but a good location with a nice big deck and grill. We enjoyed our visit very much! And the puzzles were a big hit!!!

Great Cottage!

We stayed at this cottage for our annual spring fishing trip to Lake Erie. The stay was fantastic. Beds were comfortable, kitchen stocked very well, enough room throughout the place for our gear and didn’t feel cramped, outside electrical outlet and hose hook up to use, and finally easy access in and out. Was great to have the outside deck for winding down after a long day of fishing.

We came to celebrate a birthday and our group had a blast! The location is on a quiet street and close enough to walk downtown! The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. We also utilized the kitchen for meals and we had all the necessary tools. The deck and grill were an added bonus!

Awesome time at this VRBO. Place was very nice, great beds and great pull out couch. Some nice pots and pans for usage. Showers were very clean and good water pressure/temp. Great location and close proximity to the town. Only small downside was the floors felt a little dirty. Overall GREAT trip and great VRBO
