My family and I loved our stay. We had 5 adults and 5 kids (aged 5-12) and there was plenty of room for all of us. The kids loved the private beach and the paddle boards/kayaks. It was so convenient to be able to just walk back to the house if we needed something or someone was done swimming. And the firepit on the beach was a great bonus at night. We will definitely plan on a return trip.

Driftwood Lodge was a charming respite from all our budy lives. Space behind french doors & Wifi accommodated our eldest daughter having to work with online meetings the first couple of days. Our son , whose work overlapped during that time, mansged his meetings between cell phone & online. The littles (9months old, 18 months old & 3 1/2 yrs old) LOVED the footed tub & the beach. But there was plenty of room for them to play inside while we prepared meals. Sunsets were beautiful on the bay. When wind picked up, the mayflies didn't hang around. Kids enjoyed the daily visits from nature: bsby gull at the beach (with watchful parents nearby), wild turkey & several families of Canada geese. That being said, the drive & beach were clean & nicely kept as well. The young coupkes enjoyed the paddleboard at the beach. Proximity to Marblehead light & the island ferries & Tofts Ice Cream made for fun outings. Nice space behing the cabin to enjoy outside in the evening. The slider on the fron deck was another great place to great the day with our morning coffee & conversation. Truly Driftwood Lodge is a place our family would enjoy coming back to at any age!! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. P. S. Don't plan on doing laundry on vacation. It is after all VACATION!!

This property was perfect for our group of fishermen. Ample parking for boats and trailers, fish cleaning and freezer space on site, plenty of beds for a large group and close to several boat ramps. We will be back for our next trip to Lake Erie.

Had a great time at your cabin. Had plenty of room for the 6 of us and our to dogs. It was a good brother and sisters time together. Enjoyed doing the Jet Ski for the first time. Unit was located close to anything you wanted to do. Fire pit on the property and also on the beach was great.

This was our 8th year making a summer trip to driftwood. All of the updates from the first year we stayed are awesome! The outdoor seating and rentals at the beach are a great addition! Look forward to many more visits!

House was nice but not the cleanest, spiderwebs and the fridge and freezers were not cleaned. Left over food from the previous renters. Great location. We had great weather and a nice weekend.
5.0
We had a great time staying at the driftwood property. The house and lake/beach area were perfect for a friends trip with kids ranging from 4-11 years old. Awesome bar/restaurant (Rayz on the bay) was in walking distance. A little private sitting area in the back of the house with great lighting and seating for a relaxing night. Bayview Watercraft Rentals were more than an accommodating. We enjoyed using the paddle-boards and watching the beautiful sunsets at the private beach area. Cedar point was just a short drive and perfect for a day trip. Would highly recommend!

Pamella was a wonderful hostess. I took my family and in laws to the cottage and we loved it!! We were so pleased with the hospitality we were shown throughout our stay. Pamella left us wine, lottery tickets, and other goodies. Michael, Isaac and Trent were all very helpful and kind. They were they guys we rented our jet ski from across the street. Did I mention there was a private beach?? That was one of my favorite parts of this trip. The bay was beautiful. We will definitely be back. Thank you all for making us feel like we were at home!

Pamela's lodge/cabin was perfectly suited for the gathering of a large family. She was a very gracious host and made it personal to our visit. Plenty of parking and a nice quiet location. Unfortunately, we could not enjoy the extra accommodations outside of the property due to weather, but we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend!

I rented the property for Thanksgiving for my whole family, my son and daughter and their families...6 grandkids and a grand dog, my partner, and my former spouse all stayed and had a great time... beautiful weather and comfortably rustic accommodations which we all enjoyed. And Pamella made our arrival and stay very easy. She even left us snacks, lottery tickets, and a bottle of wine!... very thoughtful of her!

This was our 2nd year renting the lodge for a group of 7 guys to stay and fish. The property continues to receive amazing upgrades with new ownership. They left snacks, can cozies and even lotto tickets for us upon arrival. Very clean and well kept log cabin lodge with lots of room and trailer parking. New shed with gravel area and fish cleaning. Very relaxing spot, we will be back for another trip!

We had a great time! We stay for just the weekend to visit cedar point. The property was clean, the property manager was very to communicate with and even offered to have us check in the day before at no additional cost! Would highly recommend and would stay again!

Great property, great location. The host was amazing! The lodge was so much more than we had expected. Beach was clean, locals were super nice and helpful, bar within walking distance! Will definitely recommend and will definitely come back!

This home and the surrounding area was perfect for our family gathering. We were able to bring our dog family members. Lots of beds and places to sit to eat, play board games, talk. We rented kayaks for the week across the street from the cabin and were able to explore Sandusky Bay whenever we wanted. Rayz on the Bay is a small walk from the cabin and has great food and drinks. Cedar Point and all of the stores, restaurants, and entertainment in the Sandusky, Port Clinton, and Marblehead area are easily accessible. This is a very relaxing and comfortable place for a family gathering.

We will go back. Love the property.

Beautiful setting. Plenty of room and beds for 11 of us. Did not use the beach much due to the weather but the private beach is very nice. Would recommend as very comfortable for all. Spent most of time sitting around the fire beside the gazebo.

The property was amazing! Have a large family and rented the cottage along with the lodge for a week. There was no shortage of space or places for everyone to sleep. We were not on top of each
other and everyone had their own space. Large living room and plenty of tables and space for everyone to eat. We had two boats along with 5 vehicles and never had to move vehicles. The private beach was awesome and great for all the kids. Nice rock point just off the property by Clemens marina that was great for the kids to fish. Brady and Shaw running the jet ski rentals were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was clean and everyone was happy. Large yard and camp fire ring for games along with another fire ring on the beach. Clemens
marina was awesome and very friendly. Pam did an amazing job and the process from booking to leaving was smooth. Always responds timely if there is any questions and makes sure that you
enjoy yourself during your stay. I have stayed at many ABNBs and VRBOs and I would put this on the top of my list. Would rate higher if that was possible. Only downfall was the sand does not go
far into the water and turns rocky. Minor detail with everything else it offers. The property is also located in the middle of countless things to do or see so no long drives for entertainment. Highly
recommend!

This is our sixth year making this weekend trip at Driftwood. Check in and out is very seamless. The new updates to the home are great. 8 couples come up once per year without our kiddos and rent a pontoon from Clemens for the day. Plenty of room for everyone. Easy communication with property owner. Plenty of parking. The new rental place across the road is very accommodating as well. If you are looking for a comfortable rental no matter what length of time you are staying we 10/10 recommend. Hope to see you again next year!

We had fifteen in the cabin for our stay. The online video and pictures were very helpful for planning purposes. The rooms were clean and we had plenty of space. Mattresses could have been more comfortable but the other accomodations outweighed this. The picture of the private beach did not do it justice. It was very nice....we have had other priviate beaches on the great lakes that have not measured up to this one at all. The boys in the beach shack were VERY helpful and made us feel like family. We enjoyed a peaceful last night bonfire on the water with a lovely breeze. While there we also enjoyed Cedar Point (family favorite) and Put-in-Bay, (was worth the experience but was costly and would not do again if we returned to the area). Besides that, we enjoyed some local restaraunts and played family games in the cabin and on the beach. Pamella promptly answered all my last minute questions leading up to the trip and we enjoyed our welcome (goodies). Thank you for a wonderful family vaction!

Great service
The location was great with private beach access. Communication with the owners was on point. The ovens went out and they responded immediately and addressed the problem. They do a great job of taking care of their guests. We would definitely stay again.
