Perfect for large groups

Four baseball families were able to share the home comfortably for 5 days. Some of the bedrooms are a little small for suitcases and such, but there is plenty of sleeping space throughout. The kids were entertained by the game rooms. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Sandusky.

Excellent property and stay. Only thing that could be improved is replacing many of the side rail bumpers on the pool table. The current ones are not good at all prevent play. Other than that it is an excellent property, location, and stay.

Great for a large group

This is the perfect spot if you have a larger group going to Cedar Point or doing activities in the area. I will note that the temperature fluxuates room to room and the beds/pull out couches aren't the most comfortable, but it's clean, a great space and affordable if you want a fun space to have some down time together. Aside from food, they had everything we needed from linens to utensils.

We came up to Cedar Point for a basketball shootout and the property was perfect for our team and adult chaperones. Plenty of rooms, spaces for the girls to hang out, and house was very clean. The outdoor space was fun for the night and the girls enjoyed the fire and cornhole games. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Perfect House

The owner was great and accommodating, the house was absolutely perfect for a family place. The kids had more fun at the house than at cedar point. While it’s right off cedar point drive it felt secluded and private. They had e erythema g you could possible think of!!! I would definitely recommend renting this house to anyone!!!
