We had a wonderful stay at this home. Everything was clean and well-appointed and the location was convenient for access to the amazing Spring warbler migration on Lake Erie! We appreciated the fenced yard for our pup, who'd spent 5 days on the road getting to Post Clinton and was ready to stretch his legs. In the evening we went into town and enjoyed the sunset with a walk in the lighthouse area. This home is a great option in a wonderful area

My wife and I, along with our 13lb Shorkie, spent our 23rd anniversary here. As advertised, the house was cozy, extremely well-outfitted for little things you might forget, and pet-friendly. The hosts were certainly not responsible for the rainy weather which made the cozy cabin that much more pleasant for our stay. The Weilands are great hosts and communication with them was prompt and on point.
