About this property

Relaxing Gem Beach, Close to Twin Oast Brewery, Orchard Eatery and Miller Ferry

We now have WIFI. Conveniently located 1 mile from The Orchard and Twin Oast Brewery with the Igloos in the winter. The cottage is 2 bedroom and 2 bath cottage. The cottage is conveniently located by the Miller Ferry to Put In Bay and all Lake Erie Islands. There are several restaurants located nearby. The cottage is newly remodeled with central air and cable TV. There is a washer and dryer,fridge,stove, and all small appliances included. There is a patio outback with a gas grill for those relaxing summer nights. The location is family friendly and only steps to private and well maintained Gem Beach. We do prefer 3 days to weekly rental in the summer, but off season is 2-3 days minimum, unless you contact the owner. Our driveway is 50 ft long if you have a smaller boat/trailer and truck. Guests are responsible for filling their own propane tanks and cleaning grill. Absolutely no parties allowed!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This property matched its description perfectly. Very clean and comfortable for our small group. Nice to have 2 full bathrooms to clean up at the end of our busy days. While not a large property, it delivered for us in every way imaginable. Thanks for sharing your home, we will certainly look to book again in the future.

Excellent experience beginning to end. Our family of four had a terrific autumn weekend visiting our favorite places in Catawba and Marblehead. Melissa was very helpful and responsive to our inquiries, the cottage was clean and included many helpful amenities, and the location cannot be beat. We very much look forward to another stay at this cottage!

House at Erie.

We had a great time at the house. The location was perfect since we were there to fish. Weather was beautiful and the lake was calm enough to fish both days.

Great place for a November weekend

Cozy place for the 2 of us. Lots to see and do nearby-hiking, lighthouses and the beach. We enjoyed the Orchard for drinks (the Coop) and later for dinner. Melissa was very responsive and gave us good directions on the house.
