A great Christmas weekend

We had such a blast at this weekend getaway. Great location with the playground right next door and the water a very short walk away. We were able to enjoy a relaxing family weekend with all the amenities at our fingertips. Host was more than accommodating making sure we had everything we needed for our stay including a high chair and pack and play for the grand baby. 10/10 recommend - and we would definitely book again!!!

Wonderful, Spacious Home with Beautiful Views

My husband and I stayed there for 3 nights to celebrate his birthday, and on one day, we invited his 95-year-old mother and a few other family members (including young children) to join us for lunch. It was perfect, as she could get in the house easily, we could share a barbecue lunch, and the little ones could play on the playground and look for lake glass. Other than that event, we had a great, relaxing time with perfect weather. We enjoyed the community, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, welcoming ambiance, a few local restaurants, and the comfort and amenities of this home. Marcy is a great host, helping us not only with details and check-in but helping to retrieve something we left behind. This is a great place to stay, and we'd love to return.

Family and Dog Friendly retreat

This was a lovely little house near the water. The space was just like the online listing- the only surprises were pleasant ones! My family of 5 humans and 2 dogs had a wonderful holiday. Marcy had so many little touches to make the space warm, inviting and stylish. The second floor balcony was a perfect place to sit and watch the lake.

Great family stay

Our trip was excellent. We had a quick three day trip to the house with our family. The place was very clean and a great location. Fantastic little touches of hospitality spread throughout the house. The host was great at communicating before and during our trip. We had everything we needed. The lake out back was so convenient as was the park next door for the kids. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.

This Property was perfect for our stay to play at cedar point complex. It’s also 10 min from cedar point and also kalahari. So close super clean and on the lake. Perfect lake house stay and the owner is so accommodating and sweet. Check in and out was simple. Our daughter asked if we can do it again in the summer to enjoy the property for its full potential!

Christmas memories were made at this wonderful lake home

We spent the 2022 Christmas Holiday at this beautiful Huron lake home. Marcy is fantastic! She added beautiful Christmas decorations and made sure the cabin was well stocked. She also checked in on us after we expereinced bad weather. Everyone was warm and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed everything about this home.

Perfect lake house escape!

This property is an absolute gem. We loved everything about staying here. The house is impeccably clean and cared for. Comfortable beds, wonderful kitchen and relaxing living space. The view of Lake Erie is beautiful, especially from the upper deck. Our 4yo said it best when she said "I never want to leave this house". Marcy's communication was amazing. Had the best time, would recommend to all.

Beautiful!

This is our 7th year staying at Rye Beach park but our first year at Marcy’s property. The location is perfect being right next to the playground and beach. The beach was the best we’ve seen it over the years, it was more sandy than rocky this year (but we know that it is always dependent on the winter weather and the winds). The views are unmatched from the upper deck (and the amazingly comfortable glider chairs!) and the lower porch. The home was very clean! Had everything we needed. Plenty of space for 9 of us to make the place home for the week. Loved the large dining table plus an additional large table for the kids to set up shop for building legos and play games. We loved this space so much we rebooked for 2025 before getting home! Thank you so much Marcy!

Family meet-up in Ohio:)

Marcy's house was the half-way point for a long weekend with adult children. Location was perfect, right on Lake Erie and close to Huron (walking distance) and Sandusky and Cedar Pointe (driving ). The home was everything we could hope for. The one thing none of us can control is Mother Nature and we the saw power and awe of Lake Erie during several storms. But inside, we were warm and cozy:) Highly recommend!

Holiday Retreat

Several times a year we visit family in the area & love the Rye Beach area. Close to everything we do.We travel with a med. sized dog and look for properties that allow him. I choose this property for our After Christmas visit because of the lake views & Christmas decor. Upstairs deck provides a relaxing lakeview! A Coffee station in Captains room provides everything for a relaxing morning. All BRs have very comfortable beds!Upstairs full bathroom is Jack & Jill, attached to the main BR with a hallway access for the other 2BRs. I found the third BR to be tight on storage and encouraged use of the many vanity drawers in this bathroomThe open floor plan and many windows of the first floor great room, provided space for everyone with excellent views. Two lounging areas as well as two dining tables quickly became areas for office, eating, relaxing by the fireplace or playing with toys in front of the TV.EVERYONE had room to move while still being together.This is the first house where we could expand and enjoy without restrictions for our dog, who regularly checks on his people (not cage trained). Enjoyed the patio on this level for convenient dog walks to neighboring park. Happy with fully equipped kitchen -provided the resources to prepare and set buffet style meals. Host provided many small touches - charging station, toys, games, folding chairs, fire pit with wood & starter.Laundry/full accessible bathroom conveniently located off front entry. Professional Host!
