The cottage is conveniently located by the Miller Ferry to Put In Bay and all Lake Erie Islands. There are several restaurants located nearby. The cottage is newly remodeled with central air and cable TV. There is a washer and dryer,fridge,stove, and all small appliances included. There is a patio outback with a gas grill for those relaxing summer nights. The location is family friendly and only steps to private and well maintained Gem Beach.

Great place for a November weekend
Cozy place for the 2 of us. Lots to see and do nearby-hiking, lighthouses and the beach. We enjoyed the Orchard
for drinks (the Coop) and later for dinner. Melissa was very responsive and gave us good directions on the house.

Gem Beach Gem
The location cannot be beat! We walked to the beach, the Fourth of July parade was at the end of the street. Bring your bikes because you can ride all over. The house provides lots of beds and 2 full baths. Towels, paper products, garbage bags, and extras are all there. It is better stocked than most places I have stayed. The host is easy to work with. I would have appreciated a leaf blower for the back patio. It needed some love, but it would be great to hang out there if it were clean. The hammock needs to be stored inside so you could actually use it.

A great little cottage near a great lake.
We stayed with friends while fishing Lake Erie. The house was exactly whay we needed. Clean, convenient, and very reasonable. We will definitely stay here again if we go back to Port Clinton.
