New: Romantic Winter Getaway w/Igloo
Come and enjoy a night relaxing in our warm heated igloo. This cozy retreat boasts 2 bedrooms, 4 comfy beds (1 Queen, 2 Twins, and 1 Murphy Full in entry/laundry room) and a well-equipped kitchen perfect for cooking up a storm. With a washer and dryer, and an open concept kitchen, it’s designed for convenience. Ideal for birding enthusiasts, fisherman, couples getaways, and family trips. It is the perfect place as night falls to savor an excellent view of the stars.
Indulge in breathtaking marshland views, where waterfowl and eagles grace the skies. Savor your morning coffee from the Keurig or drip coffee maker, supplied with coffee grounds, k-cups, cream, sugar, and even coffee syrup. Experience sunset on the deck or dock your boat at a nearby slip (can be rented at Green Cove.) Ample parking, cozy nights with books, board games, spend time watching movies on Hulu & Disney Plus, dining for 4, bar seating, and a bistro table for 2 which can be used for remote work. Enjoy the outdoors with deck seating, a propane grill, and a fire ring for making smores and cherished memories.
The entire lake house is accessible along with the large yard and parking area. The property lines are marked with private signage. You have access to a sliver of private Lake Erie beach bliss only two doors away (outlined in the house manual.) Feel free to use the 2 standup paddle boards, beach chairs, corn hole boards, Can-Jam, and fire pit.
Property is very close to Davis Besse, which is an ideal location for fishing the reef complex for perch and walleye.
Located close to many marshland areas that are great for birding. The Biggest Week in American Birding festival is right off of route 2 at Maumee Bay State Park from May 3rd-12th, this area is known as “The Warbler Capital of the World!” Immerse yourself in spring songbird migration and experience some of the best birding North America has to offer.
Lastly, this is a quiet and safe space for relaxation and family fun. There is a swing set on the property and a private community playground a bike ride away.
Must use stairs (10 steps) for entry. Must be 25 years old to rent. Actively monitored security cameras at both entryways.

We had an amazing stay at this rental! The location was perfect, being close to several fantastic birding spots. We enjoyed the peaceful views of marshland birds right from the property, which made for a serene and relaxing experience. The nearby restaurants were excellent, offering a variety of delicious options.
The house itself was wonderful. The kitchen was very well stocked, making it easy to prepare meals. The furniture was comfortable, and we loved the lovely coastal style of the decor. It really added to the charm of the place.
Zach, our host, was a great communicator. He provided us with helpful ideas about additional birding locations, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a quiet, nature-filled getaway.
