Great house for large groups!

This house has plenty of space for a large group! We had an entire softball team and coaches there for a long tournament weekend and it was great! Fire pit and volleyball net were great! Close to the parks and stores. Only recommendation would be to get a garage fridge for drinks, keeping coolers iced all weekend was tough. Great place! We will definitely stay there again!

Nice place!

We rented this to use as a place to stay while visting cedar point. Driveway is a little hard to find but the privacy and having us all in one place vs multiple hotel rooms was amazing. Everyone loved the house and ammenities it offered.

Family reunion trip

Great sized house with plenty of space for our group of 10 (4 of those are teens). Pleasantly surprised with the finished garage space which is not advertised in the listing's pics. Entire outdoor area is amazing and wonderful for hanging out. The house overall feels dated with obvious upgrades throughout. The surfaces are all sticky (kitchen counters, tables, handrails on the stairs, etc). It is most likely from whatever cleaning agent is used. Location is great, but some highway noise can be heard from inside the house if that's something that bothers you. Very happy with the amount of starter supplies provided by the host. Comfy beds.

Great Spaces for Large Family

This property was a great woodsy location for our Lake Erie family vacation/reunion. It had easy highway access and plenty of space for our 13 family members. We enjoyed the backyard spaces in our down time. The garage game room/bar area was an unexpected bonus, although a drink refrigerator would have topped it off. The location would have been a little tricky to find, but the owners gave us very clear directions ahead of time and were always quick to respond with any question.

Dance Competition

Two famlies here for a dance competition at Kalahari. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms for our 2 families. Property was huge and had lots of fun with hot tub and playing bags. First time driving in property was difficult to find but once you know where it is no trouble coming and going. Would definitely stay again!

Outdoors for Veterans

Another awesome three day stay at this location. Top-notch as we expected and just as it was last year. Eight disabled veterans enjoy their getaway while I fishing, get to know each other, fellowship, and some friendly cornhole in the backyard. Late nights hanging in the garage, talking about everything under the sun. From all of us at Americas Freedom Lodge we thank you.

Stayed here for my daughters wedding weekend. She was married down the road at The Winerie. This was the perfect location for our family and close friends to get ready and hang out. Plenty of space for everyone. We had 10 people in our group.

Peaceful hideaway

This is a charming and quiet home in a great location. It was a great place for a family get away. The rooms are spacious and we loved having coffee on the back deck. It was a shame it rained. We had plan to make s'mores at the fire pit. Hope to return again.

A place for Friendship and relaxation

It fit in with our event perfectly. We hosted 8 disabled Veterans for a weekend of Walleye fishing. Shared a lot of stories, laughter and a few tears. Back yard was perfect for an evening of friendly Corn hole. As described to a T.

Country living close to Cedar Point

The house is as described. The host, Jess was very responsive to our needs. Plenty of room for all16 of us. We only slept 15 on one night. Most nights we slept 12-14 so everyone had a bed. Didn’t have to use the sleep sofa but it was available. The beds were comfortable. The big long table in the dining room was great for dinner and games the one night it rained but we spent most of the time outside on either the deck outside the kitchen or the lower level deck by the hot tub. Hot tub was enjoyed by everyone! The fire pit was great one night with s’mores and ghost in the graveyard. There was one game of volleyball! Many games of pool played. So much to do! Two or three trips to Cedar Point and discovering downtown Sandusky. The 4-12 year olds enjoyed a visit to the Children’s museum. All the kids said this was a favorite house.

Cute Backyard

This place was pretty secluded, but the highway right next to the property was loud. The house is nice, but older, so there were no ceiling fans/lights. It was nice to have 3 bathrooms for the 6 of us staying there. Not sure what the $50 "additional guest fee" was for, because it sleeps 16 people and we only had 6 (originally supposed to be 7). We loved the hot tub and even enjoyed our coffee in there some mornings. There were some burnt out light bulbs, no hair dryer (although it's in the amenities list), fire starter but no lighter, and missing batteries from some of the TV remotes. Overall, our experience was good though and the host was easy to get ahold of for any questions.

Great vacation home

This vacation home was perfect for our family gathering of 10 people with 3 generations including 4 kids. The home was very clean, and had plenty of space inside and out for our large group. The backyard was great for the kids to run around and play. We also appreciated the large dining area so that we could enjoy meals together. It was a good location for getting to activities in Sandusky, Port Clinton & Catawba Island.
