- Commonly asked questions -

Is the property located directly on the water?

Yes, the house is directly on the water, no other property separates you from Lake Erie. There is a hill that was built 30 years ago to prevent the peninsula from flooding, so you must walk up a hill located 40 foot out the back door to see the water.

Can you swim, is there a beach?

While I don't recommend swimming, you can. It is very rocky beach out back. Some people have brought kayaks to launch and have had no issues.

Is there room to park my boat? Can I fish?

You can fish out back, pick your lucky spot on the rocks and cast a line! There is room for boat parking, I will just need a heads up. The local launch is about 2 miles away, and you are split pretty even between Catawba and Detroit for fishing!
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Lake Erie. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cottage.

Very cozy, comfortable stay!
Met up with some friends for a weekend get away. Justin did an amazing job updating this little cottage! Everything was very nice. It was clean, tidy, and had everything you need in the kitchen! The property was close to everything we hoped to visit. And Justin was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We would all recommend this property to you if you are considering staying!

Peaceful, Relaxing and BEAUTIFUL
The Cottage was perfect and just what we needed to wind down after my husbands open heart surgery The cottage has so many ammenities, even a TV in the washroom! The cottage is close to so many activities, it was difficult to choose what to do first! My husband highly recommend this rental for the perfect peaceful respite. The host is very pleasent, just a phone call or text away if there are any issues.a

Definitely clean and cheerful
Husband and I stayed at the house for the weekend for a wedding by in a nearby town. Arrived in the dark and the house was as described on the outside and easy to find in the dark. The property has been beautifully decorated and upgraded. The shower was a nice touch with all the spray options. Only downside to our stay were a lot of overlooked spider webs in the light fixtures and the beds weren’t the greatest to sleep on, one being too hard and the other being super noisy when you moved. Overall would definitely recommend the house and would definitely stay again!

Cool Lake Breezes
We thoroughly enjoyed this charming little lake front home. It was always several degrees cooler here than when we went into town to shop or for dinner. Wish there had been screens in the living room windows so we could have opened them.

Very nice update house
The owner, Justin, did an amazing job updating this house. It is quaint and located close to the shoreline of Lake Erie. My wife and i enjoyed our time. All of the rooms have been upgraded and electronics connected via Alexa. (That took a little getting used to.) A few items to note: 1. The lock for entry is on the side of the house & the owner recommends using the back door for carrying things in/out. This is good advice as the side entry has higher steps which my be ackward as well as a 90 degree turn into the kitchen. 2. The beds in both rooms have new matresses. These were a bit too firm for my wife's and my liking. If you prefer softer for sleeping, the couch worked better. 3. The two best places on the couch are the reclining seat nearest the kitchen and the "corner". I sunk in other spaces and could not get the second reclining seat to "recline". 4. Alexa randomly spoke and/or played something without being called upon. 5. There is a gazebo directly behind the house. There were some people partying (end of labor day weekend) and we were initially told by the owner to stay away as the gazebo is private property. Later, he indicated we could go by it but noting it was a work in process. (Recommend this be clearly described in the posting.) 6. Two items outside of the owners control were (a) brown/copperish water for a period of time and (b) intermittent internet connectivity. These didnt last or impact the stay - just some inconvenience.

Great Little Getaway
Even with neighbors, this home felt secluded and comfy. We didn’t use the backyard much, but the view from the living room was nice and the retaining walls kept it private. Kitchen was well equipped for normal use. Absolutely LOVED the shower! 10/10!

Warm and very welcoming. Justin was a great host. We enjoyed our stay at his house. What we loved the most is the view from the living room - great way to wake up and see the beautiful sunrise. Very quiet neighborhood and nice place to retreat after a long day. The place is clean and stocked with all things necessary. Will stay there again.

Beautiful location just outside Toledo
The house was nice. Had everything we needed. The trees were full of birds singing, there are a couple eagles who stayed in the trees just outside and the squirrels were friendly too. The water was brown and unswimable, but overall, absolutely beautiful. Happy we booked here! Check in and out was easy and owner was responsive to messages.
