Yes there were dead bugs by the outdoor light, but the area was clean. The interior was very clean and kitchen was well stocked. The lake was definitely within walking distance. The community was quiet as well It was a very enjoyable week.

Listening to the waves is the best sound to relax and unwind. This cottage is so clean, and comfortable. I loved my time, as did my oldest sister, her first time visiting. Saw 6 immature bald eagles circling overhead at the same time. I’ll be back next year.

Fantastic Lake Erie getaway for two

The location on Catawba could not be better. Magnificent lake views (and sunrises) from the large screened-in porch were a real treat. The entire cottage was very clean, and the kitchen and bath were well-equipped. The tiny bedroom (bed access from one side only) was a little awkward, but one of us slept on the very comfortable couch, and it worked out fine. Centrally located among all of the birding hotspots in northwest Ohio. Great restaurants and parks nearby. We loved our stay and will be back!

We enjoyed staying at the twin cottages. It was clean, comfortable and in a private setting which made relaxing even better! We loved the sunrises and the eagle flying over the lake. It was beautiful!

Quaint and serene duplex

We liked watching the sunrise at the rocky but semi private beach. The layout of the house is unusual but it was an extremely great value for a short stay visiting the islands. The staff has done a great job taking care of the property.

Great view!

Nice clean modernized cabin on the rocky shore of Lake Erie. Panoramic view of the lake and sunrise from indoors or out. No swimming or wading (rocky sea wall), but public beaches are nearby.
