Please note:
This is an older cottage with plenty of charm and a few quirks. The stairs to the loft are steep and narrow with limited headroom, and the loft is reached through the full bathroom downstairs. The half bath upstairs is open concept with no door.
Because of the cottage’s proximity to Lake Erie, seasonal bugs like mayflies or gnats may appear during warmer months and are harmless to humans.
Other things to note: We only provide a starter pack of toiletries, paper towels, and trash bags. Typically enough for an average-sized family lasts 3-4 days. If you run out, please supply your own as needed.
We provide a propane grill for guests to use. However, we do not manage/refill the propane tanks. If you happen to run out of gas, we ask that you exchange the tank at one of the local stores.
