    Other things to note
    Lake Erie Escape is a beautifully maintained historic home. While it has been thoughtfully updated with modern amenities, it still retains the character and craftsmanship that make historic homes so special. We kindly ask all guests to treat the home with the same care and respect they would their own so it can continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.

    Please remember that older homes have unique characteristics that add to their charm. You may notice features such as original woodwork, windows, doors, and architectural details that have been carefully preserved. We ask that guests avoid excessive wear and tear, report any accidental damage promptly, and follow the house rules to help us maintain the home’s historic character.

    The original front door deserves a little extra care. To help preserve it, please open and close it gently and avoid slamming it. This small step helps protect the door and its historic hardware so future guests can continue to enjoy this beautiful piece of the home’s history.

    Thank you for helping us preserve this special place while creating wonderful memories during your stay!
