Great stay for a family or couple that wants to be within driving distance of beautiful spots!

We loved staying so close to so many beautiful preserves and the lake. The owner baked us bread! It was so nice.

Lovely cabin

We really enjoyed our time here. The cabin wasnt the most stocked or modern, but it was everything we needed for two days. Very close to great birding parks and beaches. The super market nearby has a little bit of everything and we loved the outdoor patio.The hosts were very nice to make us cinnemon bread which we enjoyed. Overall good experience!

Quiet, cozy cabin

The cabin provided a great, quiet place to stop on both ends of a long road trip. The hosts provided a thoughtful baked treat for us to enjoy, and everything was just as described.

weekend stay

The property was very nice and the property manager was very timely and responsive. Only concern is that potential for pipes to freeze if there is not a way to circulate the heat from upstairs. The property manager was very accommodating and assisted with additional heat sources. The only concern is for the property itself, our stay was fine and they made sure we were taken care of.

Great mini house for small family or 3 adults

Host was attentive and hospitable. They even had fresh friendship bread for our family to enjoy. The kids loved it! Cute primitive woodsy decor through the home making it very cozy feeling. Deck and balcony were well maintained. Great experience!

Fisherman Retreat

Let's start off positive. This place is super clean. The owners answered all our questions and was super prompt. Very hospitable. The amenities A++ seriously go above and beyond for their guests. They leave a personalized note for their guests. And a complimentary loaf of cinnamon bread. So here's the things we struggled with. We based picking this cabin off of the pictures and reviews. I discussed it with the owners after I booked. I thought this was a fishing cabin but it is fishing themed. That's on me for not understanding. They do have some great sights and fishing spots less than a mile away. And the views were beautiful. So this part was my fault and my mistake but still had the stuff we wanted locally, so not a big deal. I did assume that it was more succluded based off of reviews. It is surrounded by neighbors and attached to another cabin by a porch. Thankfully everyone was quiet. And super respectful. I mostly wanted quite because I know we are loud. I have 2 dogs that are friendly but bark at everything and 3 kids one of them special needs and the youngest a toddler. So they can be loud. Still this is mostly on us for being a noisy group we just hope we didn't bother anyone too much. The only true problem we had was space. Being a family of 5 we struggled with sleeping arrangements. It says it sleeps 5 but I would definitely say 4 max. My kids don't sleep well together and it was a tight fit. For the 2 nights 3 days that we were there. That being said t

Clean and Nice place to explore out of

3 of us stayed 4 nights here and all thought that the house was very clean and well put together. And appreciated the privacy and silence that this home delivered. We all slept very well and were very comfortable aswell as being within or just over half an hour to Port Clinton or surrounding areas. If we get back out that way we will be staying again. Thank you!

Close to Maumee Bay

We booked this rental for one night due to the nice location close to Maumee Bay State Park. Upon arrival we felt the listing photos and description did not accurately represent the home's setting. For example, the rental lacked privacy from the nearby neighboring home that had debris and inoperable vehicles in the yard. The outside living space and indoor floors and furniture were dirty. We did not complete our stay and contacted the host immediately who provided a prompt refund.

Adorable cabin

This place was the perfect getaway! It's directly across the street from Howard Marsh, and a short drive to Magee Marsh, which made it perfectly convenient for a birding trip. We were so pleased with the host's communication before and during our stay. The house was clean and comfortable. We purchased bottled water at a store nearby because of a slight "well water" taste we weren't accustomed to, but that wasn't a big inconvenience since there are stores nearby. We would happily stay here again, and really appreciated being able to bring our dogs. There was plenty of room to set up two extra large crates without them being in the way. We had a great time!

About the host

Hosted by rebecca solomon

Rob and I (Rebecca) live locally. We want to provide a place where you can be at home while you explore the area.

Why they chose this property

This is an unique house that has a neighboring home that had been vacant for years. We are in the process of renovating it so that visitors can book a vacation with their family/friends. Be assured that no construction will be taking place while you are visiting. :)

What makes this property unique

It is close enough to route 2 to get to where you would like to go with ease. For birders and those exploring the outdoors, it is very close to all of the local parks Howard Marsh ( recently expanded), Metzger and Maggie Marsh. It is also close to Maumee Bay State Park that includes lakeside and a man made beach.
