Excellent communication from the time of booking until we go home to make sure our stay was A+++. The cottage was freshly renovated and in new condition, super clean. Tastefully renovated and stocked with all the essentials so we did not need to bring anything. within minutes from the lagoon saloon which was a fantastic place to unwind at the end of the day, and they have excellent pizza! close to the highway to get to Sandusky for our trip. lots of really cool little towns close by that we found tiny restaurants that we will definitely visit again. We will definitely be booking this cottage again for years to come. Thank you again for a great trip experience. ##### Justin ### 10/10 Excellent #### SCOTT P.
