The cottage was a welcoming sight, but no surprise! It was exactly as Jeff, the host, described it. The cottage was clean, quaint and cozy! Don’t let the picture of the outside of the cottage fool you. The cottage may look small from the outside, but it is actually quite roomy and inviting in the inside. The weather was in the high 90’s, yet the cottage remained cool with the use of the ceiling fans and air conditioners. The cottage offered all the amenities that you would need, plus a welcome chocolate bar and note from Jeff. There was also a side deck to the cottage that had chairs, small table and grill. We did not take advantage of this area , due to the extreme heat.
Ashtabula itself, was quaint and the people were extremely friendly. The host left nice suggestions for restaurants, beaches and to-do attractions.
Parking was limited to one vehicle in front of the cottage, but had access to additional parking not far from the cottage.
There was also a small bluff area with benches, which was nice to sit and enjoy the lake view and/ or sunset.
