We've stayed here multiple times and the location is perfect for our fishing needs. It is located between Port Clinton and Wild Wings Marina, which just happens to work out for us.
Clean and spacious. Country setting. Not walking distance to attractions , restaurants, etc. but an easy drive to most. Rooms and bathrooms were great! 2- car garage was a plus. Definitely would stay again.

Quaint Home Centrally Located
Had seven guests, tons of space! Nice quiet setting with easy access to Jet Express, Cedar Point and everything in between. The owners obviously take great pride in their property. Well maintained, nice decor, modern features and easy to follow instructions for check in/check out. Will definitely stay again.
A wonderfully clean, spacious, and homey stay. The owner and the lady who did the daily cleaning were so helpful and kind. They even provided some great farm-fresh cantaloupe for us. We hope to stay here again in two years when we return for the next reunion.
This house was fantastic to stay at while we were fishing Lake Erie. The location was close to town, as well as, close to the marina that we fished out of. The home is very large, with four nice bedrooms and a full size kitchen! As fishermen, we would have liked to have a chest freezer in the garage to freeze our fish, but other than that, this place was great! We will definitely be staying here again!!
Fabulous farmhouse-like home with all the amenities. All bedrooms are organized and spacious. Kitchen is amazing-all the amenities and lots of space. Front porch is so comfortable and enjoyable all day long. Grill works great. Comfortable living room and additional sitting room. Lots of space for a large or small group. We'll be going back!

Excellent
large home and yard all in good shape.
Some traffic noise, but that is really only a negative for those of us who are used to life in rural America.
This was a lovely property!- good outdoor space and lovely home with plenty of space for my family (5). The only downside is the road has some traffic noise starting at 4-5a although it only bothered me, the rest of my family didn't notice. I used ear plugs and that helped me as a light sleeper who was staying in the front upstairs bedroom. On the positive of being near the main road, is that it was an easy 15 mins or so to downtown Port Clinton and just little longer to other nearby towns. The owner was very responsive and helpful overall and we would definitely stay again and have recommended it to others. Good deal with cost as well
Our small group of friends make an annual weekend trip to the Sandusky/aport Clinton area. The property was perfect for us to lounge and visit and prep/ eat meals. There is a grocery store withing 15minutes and the jet express ferry is also within 10 min. There were several restaurants nearby with gluten free options and a variety of choices. Marcy was amazingly helpful. We had a great time and would consider booking again. We had 4 adults and one teen in our party.
We loved staying at the old farmhouse. There was plenty of room to spread out. The children loved the games and toys, which was a delightful and unexpected surprise. I appreciated the well equipped kitchen. We were all very comfortable and felt as if we were at home.
Wonderful place very clean and taken care of, Close to downtown and if you forgot anything they had it. House has all the pots and pans, dishes, Towels and other needs. Thank you very much
We love this house. Well equipped and so much to do. Our second time here and sure won’t be the last. Thanks so much for the hospitality.

This property was impeccably clean and so spacious. The owners left welcome snacks and baskets of essentials in all of the bathrooms. These details and the immaculate rooms made for such a comfortable, convenient and delightful stay. Thank you!
We enjoyed our stay at this home for Memorial Day weekend. It is a great property - clean, well equipped, plenty of room, activities and games for kids of all ages! Unfortunately the weather was cold and rainy so unable to enjoy outside activities but fortunately the garage was large enough to play games inside. The only minus was no access to washer/dryer where if available, would have been the cherry on top! Nonetheless, great home and great stay. Thank you for the hospitality!
