Wonderful Lake Erie getaway with all the comforts of home. Very clean! The coffee station in the master bedroom was our favorite personal touch! Marcy was incredibly accommodating and attentive, and warmly welcomed us to Huron, OH. She checked in with us during inclement weather and gave us a bunch of local attraction advice and info. Host and location are gems! Would definitely book again if we find ourselves in the area.

We found the property and area around it enchanting. It was right near the lake, a thirty second ramble to the snug little private Rye Beach.The house itself is cozy and comfortable. It has an open plan on the first floor, with three smaller bedrooms upstairs with a large bathroom. There were four beds, two queen size and two single split between three rooms.The lake is perfectly visible and close, especially from the upper balcony accessible from two of the bedrooms.The park next to the property was well maintained and seemed to have a good amount of stuff for kids. We had no kids but did have dogs, and they enjoyed being walked around it and visiting the lake.The neighborhood is a bit of a maze of small streets and seems to have a lot of remodeling happening at the moment. Once you arrive at the house however there is plenty of space.Overall we had a wonderful time and felt like we were in good attentive hands due to the helpful host and number of amenities within the house.

Great family stay

Our trip was excellent. We had a quick three day trip to the house with our family. The place was very clean and a great location. Fantastic little touches of hospitality spread throughout the house. The host was great at communicating before and during our trip. We had everything we needed. The lake out back was so convenient as was the park next door for the kids. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.

A great Christmas weekend

We had such a blast at this weekend getaway. Great location with the playground right next door and the water a very short walk away. We were able to enjoy a relaxing family weekend with all the amenities at our fingertips. Host was more than accommodating making sure we had everything we needed for our stay including a high chair and pack and play for the grand baby. 10/10 recommend - and we would definitely book again!!!

Family and Dog Friendly retreat

This was a lovely little house near the water. The space was just like the online listing- the only surprises were pleasant ones! My family of 5 humans and 2 dogs had a wonderful holiday. Marcy had so many little touches to make the space warm, inviting and stylish. The second floor balcony was a perfect place to sit and watch the lake.
