We really enjoyed our stay at Cedar Chalet. The house had everything we needed for a large group. It was clean and comfortable with modern upgrades in a charming farmhouse. It was really close to the entertainment of the area. Plenty of parking space. Check in and check out were very easy. We had great communication with the owner. I would recommend this house to anyone!
There were 9 of us that stayed for the weekend. We went to Cedar Point 3 days in a row and it was so nice to come back to a house that we could all relax at! In my opinion its the only way to travel with family!!! Thank you very much!

During process, I cold not open any messages being sent in Vrbo mailbox. This was not a 5 star facility. However, it was very adequate to meet our needs of a family vacation and closeness to Cedar Point and the Islands in Lake Erie. All the amenities, cleanliness, and accomodations were very acceptable. It was never our intent to spend many hours in house. We needed sleeping and showering facilities only. Kitchen utensils were adequate for the few meals we needed to prepare. It is very desirable for its location.
House was comfortable and a good fit for my family

We are so glad you enjoyed the size of the house and that our 7 beds were enough for the whole family! We hope you look us up the next time you are planning a trip to Sandusky. Thank you and Happy Travels!
Part of our extended family got together for a fun day at Cedar Point. The house was in a perfect location to access the park, and it was also a super functional place for us to play cards, eat together, and visit. We would definitely stay again!
