The property was lovely, as the photos showed. The beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed the TVs in each room and the LaZBoy recliner with heat and massage. The kitchen was up-to-date with amenities like a dishwasher, wine cooler, and microwave. We loved the balcony with the great view of the lake. It was rainy, and so we didn't get to enjoy that as much as we would have liked, but the sliding glass doors and all the large windows facing the lake gave us a really nice view, too. We appreciated the coziness of the cottage and the cleanliness.

We stayed here for a week and the home was absolutely lovely. It was very clean, bright, and cheerful, and felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. One especially thoughtful touch was that the host had decorated for Christmas, which was completely unexpected and made the stay feel extra special. It was a wonderful place to relax, and we really enjoyed our time here.

Vi’s Cottage was prettier than it looked in pictures. The outside was painted and the kitchen and bathrooms were large and nicely refinished.Unfortunately the house was musty and the weather prevented us from opening windows. There were a few other issues with cleanliness. There was dust behind the nightstands. There was a thick cobweb under a kitchen cabinet baseboard. The sliding door tracks had an accumulation of dirt and the refrigerator filter said it needed replacing. Otherwise, it looked very clean.Because I was paying a special, high rate I expected more in terms of amenities. The house had no numbers visible at night to match the address given. My side of the bed had no electrical outlet. Our bathroom had no shampoo or body wash. The pantry was the second-most meager of any of the many VRBOs in which I’ve stayed: Folger’s ground coffee, salt and pepper and one jar with a mix of jam packets and flavored coffee creamers. Usually I find oil, spices, a Keurig coffee maker with some coffee pods, and often much more. There was only plastic wrap and some sandwich bags that couldn’t be sealed. I did appreciate the chocolates on our bed and the fact we could bring our dogs!

Response from Management on Oct 28, 2026
ANDREA, The numbers are on the front of the house at the front door. The house does not smell musty, no one has ever complained about a musty smell. You did arrive on a wet and cold evening on Lake Erie. The house is raised above the flood plaine and fully insulated with a rubber membrane under the house. I am sorry you found some dust behind the night stands and a cobweb under the kitchen cabinet. I did inform our cleaner. There are 2 outlets at the bed, one is slightly behind the bed on the right and the second is next to the night stand on the left. And the door walls are a problem, every time they are opened and closed the track gets dirty. They are cleaned constantly. It makes it worse because they are white framed and white tracks. In the description of the house we do not list shampoo, body wash, coffee, spices or a keurig coffee maker. So you should not expect them. We do supply garbage bags, dish soap, dishwasher soap, foil, baggies, saran wrap, paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, kleenex, laundry soap, fabric softener and bleach. Plus everything in the kitchen to make a meal and coffee. And all the linens in every rooms. Thank you for your business, Carolyn

Beautiful property in a great location! By far my favorite property I've stayed at in the area so far! The home was conveniently located to restaurants and the water with a lot of offerings for entertainment near by. The host went above and beyond with small details to really make this feel like home away from home!! I highly recommend it!
