Labor Day Stay
We enjoyed our stay. Kenneth was very accommodating. He let us come in a hour early, and stay an hour later. When we had an issue with the TVs he had someone come right away to fix them.

Spacious and comfortable
Very clean space with a very comfortable couch. The outdoor screened wet bar/grille area was perfect for a cookout and sitting around drinking with friends or family. The house would accommodate a larger group nicely. With only three of us we all had plenty of our own space.

Great Location with a Dock
Everything was great. The house was nice with plenty of room. The outdoor space was great too. We brought our own smart TV so we could watch movies out there in the evening which was nice. The fire pit was pretty rusty but we still managed to make that work for us. The neighbors we super friendly as well. Thanks for a fun trip!

Would do this again!!
Home was well kept and added convenience of garage parking. Friendly neighbors and nice quiet community not far from anything you might need. Only difficulty was figuring out all the remotes for the electronics.Thankfully was more interested in drowning some worms in the channel as the dock and screened in area were a great hangout.

Awesome Home on the water!
We really enjoyed the home we rented for our trip to port Clinton Ohio, The home is really nice inside and has a great kitchen with plenty of appliances..The home has 2 baths with showers which is great..The place was clean inside and out..There is a large screened building right on the river with a new dock..The screened room has a grill and running water with a gas fireplace table...We couldn't get the TV in the main room or master room to work..There were 6 remotes and it was very confusing..But we were not there to watch TV..This is for sure a 5-star rental home We are for sure coming back Michael Carol Stream, Illinois

Weekend away at Put-in-Bay
We did not spend a bunch of time at the house but it was neat upon arrival and we loved the dock house that had a table with fire pit. The beds were old and need new mattresses and there should be waterproof mattress protectors on them. There was not when we were there. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Great get away
We stayed for four nights so we could go to Cedar Point for two days. I was going to take my boat since the house has a great dock but it was too windy so I decided to leave it at home. The house has lots of room inside and out, it is also close to Cedar Point and that was great. I would stay there again and recommend it to anyone.

Great Stay
This was a parent getaway weekend for our friend group! House was very clean and smelled great. Deck out back by dock was wonderful. We had a few issues and Ken was there immediately to help. Very friendly. Make sure you bring bug spray so you can enjoy being out by the dock at night-our only mistake! You won’t be disappointed staying here. Thanks Ken!
