Accommodations: Walkout Apartment, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 9-12)
Built in 2004, on the location of our family-owned summer “Cottage,” formerly known as Palmetto Lodge (circa 1932-65), the 1700 sq ft Palmetto Beach Rental is now being offered to other families to enjoy for their vacations on this beloved, 3-acre beachfront property. A view of Lake Erie accompanies the sliding glass door & covered patio in the “Garden Bedroom” with 2 double beds; the large window & sliding glass door on to a covered patio in the King-bed “Lake Room.” The “Bunk Room” has 3 twin beds.
An extensive 200’ long sandy swim beach on Lake Erie is unique to this area and the privacy created by the enclosing vegetation offers seclusion for your family. Escape the day-to-day routine of the world, and come to rest & renew by being so close to God’s magnificent creation. Endless opportunities to play together are afforded as noted in the numerous amenities & activities, along with plenty of space to be alone for life’s much needed quiet time. Partake of the unique beach / Lake ambiance; savor glorious sunsets as generations of families before have done anywhere on the property: the white antique iron bench, the huge 12’ x 80’ deck, a small beach fire while swimming; or gather to sing “Day is Done” -- a “Cottage Blessing.”
