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.

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.

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.

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.
