Quiet getaway
Perfect for 2 people. We had everything we needed for our visit. We enjoyed the quiet country setting. A nice grocery store was a short drive and Ashtabula was an easy drive. The purpose of our trip was to observe the total solar eclipse, but we made time to do a covered bridges tour. The trails to the river were enjoyable. Recommend this cottage.

Pond Cottage
Very nice secluded cottage. With the bad weather we lost power so it was nice to have the woodburner. Will definitely consider for future.
