We came to celebrate a birthday and our group had a blast! The location is on a quiet street and close enough to walk downtown! The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. We also utilized the kitchen for meals and we had all the necessary tools. The deck and grill were an added bonus!

Awesome time at this VRBO. Place was very nice, great beds and great pull out couch. Some nice pots and pans for usage. Showers were very clean and good water pressure/temp. Great location and close proximity to the town. Only small downside was the floors felt a little dirty. Overall GREAT trip and great VRBO

Travelled from near Toronto with 5 fellas to check out the live music and summer time atmosphere that is PUT-IN Bay. This place is about a 10 minute walk from the Boat House Bar and 15 to the Round House. Beautiful cottage (just as the pictures show) until that is located on a quiet street with a very large shaded deck & BBQ. Air conditioning works great and highly recommend this spot for a group of 5 or 6 adults for a great summertime getaway.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for the 2 families, 4 adults and 3 kids. The house had everything we needed and was close to downtown.

Do not rent this property unless you enjoy packing an entire suitcase of bath towels and bed sheets/pillowcases! The owner will tell you that it is clearly stated, however it’s not an easy fix even if you do happen to drill into room details to see it. It’s 6 beds and 2 bathrooms of no linens, the owner did offer the linens for an extra $75. IMO, the cost should raise $75 and linens be included! No stores around to shop, we dried off with t-shirts like hobos, lol

We had such a great time here!! Loved the decor! Beds were comfy! Will definitely book again!
WIsh List for next time: 1. linens included (its a lot to bring over linens, when you have laundry on premises) 2. Colder fridge - ice wouldnt solidify.

I have rented on PIB for 15 years and must admit that this house was one of the nicest. I was newly renovated and very comfortable. The only issue is that you had to walk to one of the bedrooms through another bedroom. To my group it wasnt and issue but if you are looking for privacy it could be. The location was great! I will rent this again.

Had a wonderful time relaxing, touring island,shopping and enjoying our time together for our first trip to the island.

Absolutely loved staying here. Great location and the host is fast at getting back with you. Even though it says it in the description, wish it had sheets and towels as our group was coming from many different states with limited room to pack extra things that the bnb didn’t provide. Otherwise great place to stay at!

This was the perfect location for hosting a bachelorette party. Close to town but still semi-included. Host was great and notified us once the place was ready prior to check-in time and also allowed us to keep our car at the home a few hours after check out. The home is very spacious and receives beautiful natural lighting during the day. Deck was great, kitchen was stocked, and furniture was comfortable. Note that you must bring your own linens and sheets. Also note that there are homes all around, not isolated by any means but it was not an issue.

This is a perfect location between the downtown area and the lake itself. At the end of Imis Rd is a beautiful area to sit and enjoy the sunrises. Bring your bikes and enjoy the Boardwalk Restaurant for lobster bisque and sweet potato fries. Super relaxing getaway

Our family of 4 were here on vacation. The house was sufficient for what we needed. Plenty of beds and room to hang out. The kitchen also had what we needed to stay for a week. The only thing I didn’t realize when booking is that we had to bring sheets and towels.

Only thing I would caution others of is the transition from one room to another. Our granddaughter tripped on the lip of the floor between every room lol or even the hallway step. Truth is we also fell for the first few days. But after a few falls we learned 😅 enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend.

I have never written a negative description of a place we’ve stayed at before but I felt that everyone looking on PIB needs to know our thoughts on this place. We felt the pictures online were very misleading. I took picture of my own that I wish I could share here. We felt (3 adults and 3 younger teens) that this place was so uninhabitable that we payed for another place and were willing to take the financial loss for it. The owners worked with us very well and were responsive to our needs and did refund us two out of the three nights but it still caused our group a lot of stress that evening. It was the Fourth of July the first night and half of us were forced to stay there as the rest found a small hotel room on the island. I will describe the place as we saw it:
- moldy, musty smell especially in the two main bedrooms and full bath that all join together
-one bed head butts up against a door to the sketchy, dirty garage buildings
-multi level/surface floors- the floors were so different in levels that my daughter who is 11 fell so hard it busted up both of her knees
-beds and padding were cheap, uncomfortable, and some dirty
-most of the furniture was cheap and old -think college frat house
-wet laundry still in the washer and dryer was broken (owner stated he ordered a new one)
-sliding door won’t lock and a board is jammed there to hold door
some areas of house are okay -kitchen, main bathroom
Sorry to have to say all this but felt I must.

The house was just what we need for a fun girls trip. It was clean, organized and in a great location. The only issue we had was the house had a musty smell. You could definitely smell it in the bedrooms on the lower levels. Cause of allergy issues. Overall would high recommend!

This property fit our group perfectly, a group of 6 adult men in town on a fishing trip. We had room to park two trucks, one with a boat/trailer, in the driveway. Brian, our host, mulched all the flower beds in the yard one day while we were out, and it looked beautiful! The deck is very spacious with ample seating and tables. All in all, it was the perfect spot for us

If you're a fisherman, do not book this place. Owner said he accommodates fisherman but that's far from the truth. His neighbor was kind enough to completely set us up and take care of us on his property, not the owner

The house was clean and inviting. E had everything we needed and conjunction with the owner was excellent!
Thank you for a wonderful stay!
