We had a great time during our stay. Marla’s communication was great and instructions were clear. The house is massive and has plenty of room. It is, of course, an older property but it is very well maintained. The view of Lake Erie is beautiful. The house was clean and stocked with all the essentials. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely perfect for our family reunion. The house itself was spacious, comfortable, and had incredible views of the lake. It had all the amenities we could have wanted, which made it easy to focus on spending quality time together. The location was ideal, offering a peaceful setting while still being close to local attractions. Our extended family had an amazing time and we highly recommend it for any large group looking to make unforgettable memories!

This was a great spot for a large family reunion. While there were a few things that weren’t working, I think that has to be expected in such a large old house. We loved it and will return if we can figure out how to have more bedrooms nearby.

Excellent reunion venue

Wonderful old home modernized comfortably to handle a crowd. Lots of room for small children to play, teenagers and adults to play pool, and space to gather for meals and talk. Beds were comfortable, Kitchen more than adequate for crowd cooking, and the house itself interesting to explore. Beautiful location and charming community nearby. Perfect for our reunion of 17.

We've been renting large vacation properties for our annual family reunion for years. We have never experienced a property where the attention to detail was so thorough. There was an endless supply of paper towels and toilet paper, soap and even plastic wrap and foil in the kitchen drawer. Those were the smaller details. The house was amazing all the way down to those smallest details. The kitchen was outstanding for cooking for a large group. It's a beautiful, well maintained house so close to the lake that the water looks like it's coming all the way up to the house from inside. Except for the 1st and last day, the water was calm and swimming from the rocks in waist high water was perfect for the kids. It was a perfect setting for our reunion.

Amazing Weekend Getaway!

Our book group loved Rock of Ages! Beds we’re comfortable and the waves were so relaxing! Much needed weekend away! We can’t wait to come back! Only downside is that we came during big season so they got into the house, but we didn’t notice them much.

Great house on the lake with everything you need for a weekend with family. The lake is right behind the house so it gives amazing views as you watch the ferry go back and forth. Great sunsets and sunrises. The kitchen is stocks with pots and pans.

Fantastic Stay

Rock of Ages was a great venue for our family reunion of 20 plus folks. Marla was a fantastic communicator and made everything easy. House was well stocked with every kitchen utensil we needed for large group cooking and the vistas on to Lake Erie were amazing. Marblehead is a great little vacation town. Highly recommend.

Great place for a family reunion!

We had a group that ranged in age from 3 months to 92 years old. The house had everything we needed for our large group! We celebrated the matriarch of the family’s 90th birthday all week. We took lots of walks and did a lot of island hopping. This house was conveniently located to everything. Very fun week!!

A great spot for family vacations

ROCK OF AGES was a perfect place to hold our family vacation. It easily accommodated our group of 30+ with room to spare. The property is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need…especially the kitchen! The lake front outdoor space was peaceful and private. The owner responded quickly to any inquiries we had. Would definitely recommend it!
