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!

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.
