        Beautifully appointed historic home with gorgeous view of the lake
        We visited in April for the eclipse and were so fortunate to find this gem of a place. There are many inviting spots for friends and family to gather and relax, and the views from the living/dining/porch areas and the primary bedroom are incredible. The furnishings are comfortable and attractive. Photos can’t really capture how nice it is. The kitchen was thoughtfully renovated and has everything you might need to prepare meals. Steps to the second floor are quite steep but there is a handrail and treads to prevent slipping. It was nice that the house has one bedroom (and a powder room) on the first floor. We enjoyed reading about the history of the house. The driveway is shared with the house next door but that was not a problem at all.

        Family weekend With the Grandbabies
        This beautiful cottage was just what my family needed for a weekend getaway. The view of Lake Erie, the family of deer that showed up out of nowhere, and the setup of the house were more than we expected. My grandkids were so excited every day we were there. The games for the littles were a bonus. We will book this spot again as long as they live in OH. The host was super responsive and even let me know as soon as it was discovered the kid's toothbrushes were left. You will not be sorry to rent this little piece of heaven on your next visit to the area.

        Excellent Getaway
        The pictures don't do this getaway justice. This is a beautiful place from the interior decor and the exterior unobstructed lake view. It was relaxing and inviting. My sisters and I, along with our mother, celebrated my birthday as well as needing a getaway as we mourned the year anniversary of our brother's death. It was just what we needed. Thank you Bill

        I’d give 6 stars if I could
        The Gull cottage was perfect for what we wanted for a local weekend get-away. It feels like a lake house in all good ways! Clean, well appointed and has a lot of character. The weather was perfect so we enjoyed the water, grill, lounge chairs and outdoor dining. The sunsets were spectacular and the house is perfectly situated for viewing. I highly recommend this home. The checkout was easy for a VRBO which we highly appreciated. I give this property 6 stars!!
