Fantastic, Relaxing, and Clean!

A perfectly charming home that was just right for our family! We spent the days wandering and evenings relaxing in a place that quickly felt like home. Great history, food, and thrifting in surrounding areas. Neighborhood was quiet and cozy. Home was spotless and inviting. Owners were great at communicating with zero micromanagement. An all-around fantastic trip. We will absolutely rent this home again when we visit our family.

Just OK

Pros: The cottage is updated, cute, nicely decorated, clean and relatively short walk to some eateries, bars and the neighborhood is pretty quiet. Contactless check-in is very simple. Hot tub and shower are nice. Kitchen/ bathroom are amply equipped. Linens are good quality and plentiful, especially appreciate extra towels for the hot tub. Complimentary basket of snacks and Kcups are great.Cons: The neighborhood, many homes/ mobile homes surrounding this cottage are rundown and unsightly - though we had no issues, just felt a bit uneasy. Sofa is not comfortable to sit for any length of time, beds felt ok initially but my husband and I each woke with a sore, stiff back and neck. Both beds are also very squeaky with even the slightest movement. The only access to the hot tub is through very painful gravel.(bring flip-flops!)Wish it had: Bedside lamps for reading etc. rather than the bright ceiling light that is only controlled by the wall switch at the door. I prefer to have TVs in the bedrooms. Also, a full length mirror somewhere for getting ready.*Don't miss these gems while visiting: Buckeye Lake Winery, Horvath's Harbor/ Buckeye Lake Coffee co., and Coffee Shack (I'd definitely return to all of these places)

Property was very clean and cozy. The best were very comfortable and we all felt very rested after our weekend. The hot tub didnt get very warm. It was very cold outside, so its understandable it may struggle. Over all enjoyed the property.

Nice little house for a weekend getaway. Looks just like the pics and very clean. Easy access code was sent to us so contactless check in is always a plus. Very walkable to area bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again, really enjoyed walking over to the lake and hanging out at the boatyard bar and grill and listening to the entertainment and looking out at the beautiful views.

Excellent cottage!

My wife and I stayed at the cottage for one night on our drive west. The cottage was actually more than we needed but we enjoyed the extra amenities nonetheless. It would be an excellent choice for an extended stay. Location was very convenient. The waterfront, pubs and restaurants are a short walk away. Communication, heck in & checkout were flawless!.
