The first unit we were given the toilet didn’t flush. Outlets on half the cabin didn’t work. The air conditioner keep shutting down. Moved us to another cottage. No handrails going up the stairs to 2nd floor. No waste cans in bathroom or downstairs. No electrical outlet in bathroom. Need to add a small table and chairs to sit at to eat.

Check in was fast and efficient. Patrick the on site manager was very polite and helpful. The only downside was the bathroom sink did clog and there wasn’t any plunger available for us to unclog it. I would stay again for sure.

We didn't get a cottage but had a motel room next to the cottages so a little disappointed with how the property was advertised. The staff member that gave me the key was very helpful though and the property is 10 steps from Lake Erie so beautiful outside.

First they check us into the wrong room. Then make us switch rooms the next morning, the rooms were disgusting. I am used to camping and even the tent is cleaner than what we had. Cobwebs, hairballs, bugs everywhere, beds were not clean, looked like someone had already slept in them. The door lock wouldn't work so we had to leave it unlocked the whole time. The door didn't even latch.. you could just push it open. Gross.. all together! Oh and then we woke up Sunday morning to an infestation of bees in the bathroom!

Keep in mind the cottages where built 60 years ago. So be prepared for a nostalgic stay. The refrigerator and window A/C units are updated but the bathroom sink, shower and stove are original equipment..i.e I had to turn the gas valve on to use the stove. It had a coffee maker and toaster but no microwave. Some plates and silverware were provided but just one cup lol. The towels and bedding were clean. Bring extra kitchen and bath trash bags, drinking cups, napkings, toilet paper and your own grill. All in all, I would stay here again because it is walking distance to the stip and the only rental in GOTL with a private beach.

This property was filthy. The person who checked us in was rude. The tv did not work. Absolutely horrible condition. We were not given the room that we booked.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The people that manage the cottages were absolutely great and very kind. The cottage was very clean and whatever we needed they provided. We will definitely come back next year and I’m sure the year after that.

I know its cheaper for lake-side but still...

We stayed on the motel side in a "junior suite" (room 7), sticky stuff dripped on the floor that was never cleaned, had to flip the futon mattress because there was several different kinds of crumbs all over it only to find sticky stuff on the other side, there was sand on the bed under the top sheets like it was never changed just remade, bathroom light didnt work, empty booze bottles on their private "beach", old broken toilet and junk thrown behind the buildings as youre walking towards the water..... i never leave reviews and we are pretty easy going but i dont recommend this place, obviously a good location but nothing more than that
