Enjoy a fire in the living room wood-burning fireplace (there's also another gas fireplace in the lower level) while overlooking the pond from the huge wall of windows. In warm weather, the large decks are perfect for happy hour or enjoying a good book. You'll also be able to enjoy the beautiful views from the 6 person hot tub located on this elevated deck. Don't forget the outdoor fire pit that overlooks Lake Erie (firewood provided).



Outdoor Space



Our home is located on a 5 acre+ lot surrounded by trees with a large, grassy backyard perfect for outdoor games. The firepit area overlooks hills and grape vineyards with Lake Erie in the distance. The expansive deck wraps around two sides of the house and has plenty of room to gather with a hot tub, gas grill, multiple dining areas, a gas fire table, seating and a pergola. Steps coming down from the deck lead to the large pond where you'll find tons of bullfrogs, sunfish and bass (catch and release fishing is allowed).



Lower Level



The lower entrance level has 3 bedrooms that share a full bath. The first has a queen bed and a gas fireplace. Next to this is another bedroom with queen bed and pretty view of the smaller pond and finally there is a large bedroom with a queen and a double bed.



Upper Level



As you go up the stairs, you’ll come to a large living room with huge windows overlooking the pond, a wood-burning fireplace, TV and a wet bar. On this level, we have a mini-split A/C system that cools the great room and main bedroom and another mini-split system cooling the dining/kitchen/loft area. In the living room cabinets, we have games, puzzles and toys for kids.



You'll have plenty of room to prepare and enjoy great meals in the open kitchen/dining area. We have the kitchen stocked with cookware and cooking basics and a grill is just outside the sliding door. In nice weather, enjoy your meal at the tables outside on the wrap-around deck.



A full bath with shower and jetted tub is located off of the kitchen next to the laundry area that is stocked for guest us.



The primary bedroom with king bed and en-suite bathroom is also on this level and features a huge bay window looking out to the woods and sliding doors out to the deck.





Lofts



The house feels even more spacious with the added loft spaces. Overlooking the living room is a large loft with a sitting area with full sleeper sofa and a cute bedroom tucked under the eaves with two single beds and its own a/c unit. You'll find another loft space above the dining room with lounge space and a TV and an office nook with desk.



You’ll have the entire home to yourself during your stay.
