This is a clean and comfortable house that is a perfect space for enjoying the area. We didn’t get to use it, but there’s a nice deck in a private back yard. The area is very nice and this was our first visit to the area…we definitely want to come back. Beaches are a short drive as well as plenty of places to eat and grab a coffee.

We had a wonderful stay at this home. Everything was clean and well-appointed and the location was convenient for access to the amazing Spring warbler migration on Lake Erie! We appreciated the fenced yard for our pup, who'd spent 5 days on the road getting to Post Clinton and was ready to stretch his legs. In the evening we went into town and enjoyed the sunset with a walk in the lighthouse area. This home is a great option in a wonderful area

Great stay here. No issues at all. Very nice, quiet neighborhood. View the lake from the back deck or the picnic table under the tree in front. Fenced back yard for our Border Collie was great. House very nicely furnished. Kitchen had everything we needed. Property is minutes by car west of downtown Port Clinton so access to all the area restaurants, shopping, parks was quick and easy. Would love to return.

My wife and I, along with our 13lb Shorkie, spent our 23rd anniversary here. As advertised, the house was cozy, extremely well-outfitted for little things you might forget, and pet-friendly. The hosts were certainly not responsible for the rainy weather which made the cozy cabin that much more pleasant for our stay. The Weilands are great hosts and communication with them was prompt and on point.
