My family from Tuscany visited Ohio for the first time and we stayed in this lovely home on the shore of Lake Erie. They loved the views and the comfort of the accommodations. The house was perfect for a memorable time with family.

I’m absolutely certain if you’re looking to stay in this area, Bill is your guy! This was the perfect place and one of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever seen. My family and friends couldn’t have had a better time here. It’s unlike anywhere else,way less to do before check out then anywhere we’ve ever been. So kind so considerate and I just honestly can’t say enough good things. THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.

Can’t say enough good things about this house, the views, and the host family Bill and Ann Marie! The power went out because of storms in the area and Bill and Ann Marie had us up and running with a generator the same day! Anyone in the area looking for a getaway with a cool lake breeze should consider this place! Play on the lawn, grill on the deck, bathe in the lake!

Wonderful home right on the lake. The weather was perfect, so we were able to enjoy watching the sunset every night in the gazebo. Location was great and we were short driving distance away from different beaches. We were able to enjoy jet skiing, ziplines, minature golf, hiking, etc. A great vacation. The owners were very quick to respond to our questions.

Bill and Ann have a great rental right on the lake. The 1905 gull house has been fully updated and has a great kitchen as well as outdoor patio and gazebo with a walkway down to the lake. Beds are comfortable and offer room for large family gatherings. The kitchen is well equipped to serve meals for eight. The hosts are very responsive yet respectful of privacy. Take care to keep the neighbors happy.
