- 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!

No complaints.

We enjoyed our stay. Was easy to get in and host was easy to get in touch with. The lake is right behind the house and was completely frozen so that was cool to see and our kids liked it. If I had to complain about something I would have to nit pick and be ridiculous like the overly high chairs in another review.

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.

Beautiful sunrise

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.

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!

Beach House Stay

We liked staying at the beach house! We adventured down to the beach for a fire, the bed was super comfortable and everything was updated on the interior. The bugs are bad around all parts of Lake Erie so they didnt bother us at all!

Great Stay

Very easy check in process and the owner was very quick when I had questions. The only thing I will note is that the bed made noises at any little movement, and it kept waking me up. Also, the back deck really needs to be redone. Overall I was very happy with my stay.

Great Stay

Great rental. I will most likely stay here again for my next trip to Toledo. The property manager is always available and responds promptly. The interior is newly renovated. The online details regarding the exterior say landscaping is in progress and needs work but to be honest it seemed just fine to me.
