Awesome home and location! We were greeter by Suzanne, the owner. She told us of how she lovingly restored it and curated the decor herself. The home was so comfortable and cozy in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again.

This is a very quaint and clean property; so much character. It is just minutes from Cedar Point and the Sports Complexes. We were there for an AAU basketball tournament. The owners are super nice and helpful. I'd love to come back here again and would recommend it highly!

Ivy Cottage is amazing!

My best friend and I stayed at Ivy Cottage for our 31st annual Cedar Point guys' weekend. The cottage was beautiful and immaculately cared for, and in a great and convenient location in downtown Sandusky. Suzanne was very accommodating and extremely easy to deal with. I couldn't recommend staying here more.

They thought of everything!

My small family spent four delightful nights in this cozy cottage in the heart of Sandusky and it was difficult to leave! I still cannot get over the warm and welcoming atmosphere; the cottage felt like home for the duration of our stay. The effort and attention to detail the hosts put in to bringing the cottage to life is remarkable, from the fresh eggs in the fridge to the charming European-farm style decor, they thought everything! Putting the cottage over the top were the pleasing Autumn seasonal decorations thoughtfully arranged inside and out, perfect for the crisp Ohio Fall and Halloween season. I cannot say enough about this cottage and the hospitality of its owners, highly recommend, and will be returning!

Close to lake

We needed somewhere to stay for a professional bass tournament and this house was perfect. We were able to park and charge 2 boats and we were very close to our tournament takeoff. Suzanne was very easy to get in touch with and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.

Sixtieth birthday celebration

Everything about our stay surpassed all expectations. Suzanne and David have created an amazing getaway for their guests. Their hospitality was 5 star. The attention to detail from supplies, extra bedding, coffee and tea bar, and my favorite… all the different lighting to set the mood for whatever you’re doing. Our entire party said they would live there if they could. Also, Pier W is a very short walk with lots of great food and things to do.

The cutest little cottage

Suzanne greeted us when we arrived and was friendly and informative on the cottage and the area. The Ivy Cottage was exactly as described. So much attention to detail on the decor and style. Was very convenient as it was located very close to locally owned restaurants. Would highly recommend.

Cozy Cottage

Ivy Cottage was even better than the description. It was super clean and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. Hot showers. Conveniently located to lots of stores and restaurants. We took a short drive over to Port Clinton to catch the ferry to Put in Bay. And Suzanne is amazing. She met us at the property; gave us some great tips on nearby restaurants and things to do (since our fishing trip was cancelled). She even had a couple delicious homemade cookies for us. I just can't say enough. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely plan to stay here again!!! It's a 10/10!
