Amazing!
I visited Toledo for the weekend and found this quaint rental on VRBO with a jacuzzi at a very reasonable price so I booked. Brenda messaged me the week before letting me know that the jacuzzi was out of service due to the frigid temps and she'd provide a full refund if I wanted to cancel in case it couldn't get fixed. I declined to cancel and just hoped for the best! Just prior to check-in she messaged me again that they couldn't get it fixed but they had delivered and set-up a new one at different entrance so all will be well. WOW!!! I am still in awe at how incredibly accommodating that was!! I see she has since updated her listing with the new jacuzzi and we used it both nights of our stay. I will be booking again the next time I visit!! More than likely I will come here first to check availability and build my visit weekend around that! The home is soooo clean and well-thought in every inch of the space. If you're considering staying here, DO IT! What are you waiting for?! Thank you again, Brenda!!

Cute cabin!
I loved our stay- much bigger than the photos seem! Super clean and the perfect amount of amenities. Sad the hot tub wasn’t working but the host was more than accommodating in reimbursing us for that.

The property is simultaneously quiet and within a quick drive of everything you might want to do in Toledo/Detroit. We loved looking out at the frozen lake from the coziness of the hot tub!

Beautiful home. Beautiful lake side. Hot tub and fire pit made us not want to leave and do all the other things we planned. I feel like there's an unwritten rule to not stay at the same place twice. This place makes me want to rethink that rule.

Spotless and spacious
We enjoyed our stay in Erie! The home was very clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was an excellent way to end each day. We loved the shower and appreciated that there was a washer and dryer. This is a great spot to explore Detroit and Toledo. Our family loved the proximity to Fritze Freeze, an ice cream spot. We would stay again if we were in the area!

Close to home
1 draw back really close to the neighbors. The house is small but expected as it sleeps 5 only has 1 bedroom so personally 2 was perfect. The finishings are well put together and the kitchen is perfect for cooking tuns of counters. The house was clean yard is small but again with just a few people you have enough room to hang out. I would definitely rent again and we live local!

Fantastic Rental- Especially for anyone wanting to be on the water!
Brenda was so responsive and helpful. Checking in and out was so easy. The rental was well thought out by Brenda. Pretty much everything you need is furnished. Only negative was the fridge was not cold. It took over 24 hours to get cold. So we had to put our food in a cooler until the fridge got cold. Suggestion to owner would be to turn the fridge on a couple days before occupied. The ice maker works but it doesn’t produce enough ice. So we bought ice so easy fix. We rented due to having the boat dock. The boat dock was well thought out. It’s very nice. Plastic around the post is a brilliant idea. I used bumpers to protect my boat but to be honest I really didn’t need them due to the plastic protection around the posts. Very easy access from boat ramp. Neighbors were nice and helpful. Couldn’t ask for a better rental for the price and customer service at Lake Erie!

This property had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and if it wasn’t so cold out we would have had a fire in the gorgeous firepit out back. We plan to come back during the warmer months and enjoy it all!
