Great property! It was beautiful and had everything you needed! AC unit in main bedroom was great kids had multiple fans. it was a bit hot but cooled off most nights. I had to fill the propane tank as no propane was left between grill and the fire pit : the only inconvenience. Would def stay again!

Awesome getaway close to home

Our family and my brother in laws family stayed here (4 adults, 4 kids under 3) and had plenty of space! Super clean and great quiet location. We were skeptical of no AC but it really wasn’t a problem at all! If you are considering staying here- we recommend! Our only complaint is the spiral staircase was not super functional for us.

Great place to stay.

the house was clean and well equipped, we were worried about the fact there is no AC but there are plenty of fans for air circulation and the evenings were pretty nice and keeping cool was not a problem. The back patio was a great place to sit and relax by the gas fire pit and do some grilling. Great Place Roger

Great location!

This property is SO nicely located for seeing all of the Lake Erie Islands, then returning “home” to relax on the back deck. Our stay was during the extreme heat wave hitting the Midwest & having multiple days with temps over 85 and “feels like temps” over 90 really made us long for AC. However, we learned to visit the shoreline or islands for breezes these days and by evening the temps were bearable.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Shoemaker

Host profile image
I have been on Catawba Island for 28 years and raised my family here. We absolutely Love it here!!
There was a small cottage on this property, in which was torn down and I built this modern log home in 2006.
So much to do year round, but of course our favorite time of the year here is summertime! Lots of fun, food, music, boating, fishing, swimming, activities for all! All within walking distance and very short drives.

Why they chose this property

IAs a little girl, I always traveled up here with my Dad and his work. I just loved Catawba Island, and promised myself I would live here one day!
My children and I always felt we had the best of both worlds here. Off the beaten path, yet everything within walking distance and or short drives. The property is surrounded by woods, front and back, yet we walked to the beach every single day! We also sailed here for 15 years. Fantastic memories!

What makes this property unique

It's cozy quiet, yet if you want busy, you can get that too!
The Catawba Island Sunsets are fantastic! We normally walk, bike or drive to the CIC State Park to watch!
At the end of the Island is the Miller Ferry Boat, which goes to Put-n-Bay, and or South Bass, and to Middle Bass as well. It's a beautiful, short. 15 minute ride. You can take bicycles, golf carts, motorcycles, and your cars over on the Ferry as well. Put-N-Bay is a fun Island with so much to do!
Relax when your back from a long, fun day, in the back yard. Grill up some good food, and relax!
