The Mid-Centruy Modern furniture and the classic design with large picture windows across the front and rear of the Glass House make it a wonderful location for vacationers to enjoy unobstructed views of both Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay. The mahogany wood walls and interior finish with cedar ceilings are exceptional example of FLW's style and simplicity. The front deck provides a panoramic view of the lake for relaxing.

Property was a little outdated, but it was very nice, clean, and comfortable. We would absolutely stay there again. Loved the beach both in the back yard and the front yard! Very convenient to get to Cedar Point. Overall was a great weekend!
This house is amazing with a great view of the bay and the lake. Doug was an amazing host and communicated with me every step of the way. Above amd beyond!

Thanks for the kind words! I’m happy to help any guest with anything related to their stay.
please visit again..
Fabulous glass house offering views of the water from both sides of the house--wonderful architecture. Loved the proximity to all the nature preserves and to the downtown of Sandusky. The house is comfortable, big, and includes everything you need! The main living area is open to the kitchen and has a gas fireplace that we gathered around to play games and read. Went in the winter--quiet and serene. Saw Trumpeter swans, eagles, pelicans, ducks, cranes, herons, and geese just on the drive in to the house. Highly recommend.

Thanks for the great review! Hope to host you again .
What an amazing experience! To have two private beaches right at your property is incredible. The area has large mature trees and draws a lot of birds right to your door. We spent almost our entire time just watching the birds and walking the area. We even saw TWO very large eagles right in the back yard (along with multiple types of herons, egrets, vultures, white snow geese, ducks, and so on). The owner is super responsive. The property is not modern and fancy like a resort, but rather it is like coming home to a beautiful lakeside retreat with the best views. We can't wait to come back and bring our bird book next time!
Amazing water location. Views are great. Kids had a ton of fun. Bald eagles were out and about during the day fishing. House as advertised. Will come again.

Thanks for the review! Bald Eagles are often around this property all winter. P on ease visit again.
My entire family (3 adult children and spouses as well as two adult grandchildren) spent the last three days at this property. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at Doug's property. We have no reservations about returning for a future stay.
The location overlooking the lake and the bay is wonderful. The kitchen has all needed items. The various sitting areas indoors and outdoors are really nice, and in spite of rain a couple of days, all had a wonderful time. Thank you.
Beautiful home in a perfect setting. The beach areas are lovely (perfect view for fireworks all over the area). Home is spacious and clean. Lots of room for a family!
The house was super cool and clean!Location is perfect if you want to spend time at Cedar point. We had a great time. The owner is friendly and easy to work with.
•Windows & all the natural light-amazing!•Terrific open floor so inviting•Tremendous outdoor spaces with water on both sides made for memorable family vacation•Personally, I also loved the two dishwashers,two sets of laundry because we had a larger group.
