Comfortable Lakeside Cottage

My husband and I had a relaxing three night stay at this cute and spacious lakeside cottage. Exactly as described, it had a lot of extras to make our stay super comfortable while away from home! We had a question on our second day there and the host answered right away and was so kind and helpful! The entire place and hot tub was very clean and I would highly recommend!

Lovely place!

Nice cozy, clean home with great amenities. We enjoyed the hot tub on the back deck and the kayaks, the well-designed kitchen and bathroom, and the filtered water. Brenda was a responsive and helpful host! This is one of the few places we have felt truly comfortable as folks with sensitivities. Some notes for other travelers with sensitivities, keeping in mind that these can differ for different people- to us the bed & linens truly registered as scent-free! However if you have polyester sensitivity you might bring your own sheets. Most windows/doors opened and had intact screens. No air fresheners were used, and we did not pick up on any musty smells. If you have fragrance sensitivities you might bring your own hand soap, shampoo/ etc, dish soap and dishwasher pods.We hope other pet-free travelers with sensitivities will find this a safe haven as well.

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!!

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!
