Eagle View Suite: Swim, Patio, Walkable Eat & Shop
Staying here was such a seamless and comfortable experience. Alisa made check in extremely easy and the place was spotless upon arrival. We noticed Alisa provides recommendations, menus, and things like puzzles and binoculars for birdwatching—all which enriched our stay in Door County.

Waterfront Cozy Escape
Cosy and clean, beautiful lake view, quick response from host

Waterview Apartment
Alexxis was kind and responsive. her place was awesome! walkable to everything, gorgeous view of the river, and a cool fire pit that I wish we had take advantage of. Thank you Alexxis!!

Cozy apartment on Lake Ontario
We had an amazing time at this beautiful Airbnb! The view of the lake from the patio was absolutely breathtaking with outdoor seating. Inside, the space was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. Carm was very responsive and made check-in super easy. We loved how quiet and peaceful the area was — it felt like the perfect escape. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway by the water! We definitely need to come back.

Thank you - worked perfectly for my stay!

Waterfront suite over looking Lake Ontario

The BoatHouse - Dockside Downtown Little Current
We were two retired couples who rented the apartment for 3 nights. Very pleased. Walk-able location in Little Current, on the main street. Great views of waterway, bridge, and sunrise from the comfortable balcony. The apartment was as shown in pictures and as described. Chris was very helpful. Instructions for parking, entrance, and use were clear. With central location and over businesses, over night noise could be an issue. Sound generators were provided in the bedrooms. Beds and linens/blankets were comfortable as were living room furnishings. Loft bedroom wasn't used, note that ceiling height is limited beyond the centre of the room, as in the pictures. Bathroom very nicely renovated, hot water and towels great. Kitchen was well equipped for utensils and pots and pans. Bring you own condiments, spices, and tea/coffee for the kettle and basket coffee maker provided. Note that access stairs are steep and internet was slow. TV not 4K and sometimes had to wait to spool the feed.

River Rambler
Jami's place was fresh and clean. We really enjoyed the view and watching an abundance of eagles, pelicans, great blue herons, wood ducks and much more!

Breathtaking RiverFrontOasis with a HOT Sauna
We rented Amanda's place for 2 nights in the winter and it surpassed our expectations! Amanda was a great communicator. The older cottage has been extensively renovated, it was clean, comfortable and cozy. We loved the wood stove and the heating system worked well. The kitchen is first-rate, and very well-equipped, it even had decent knives! We cook a lot and we very much enjoyed making meals there. We loved watching the ever-changing weather on the river from the picture window in the living room, and even saw a beautiful sunrise. The star of our stay was the sauna—we have a wood-burning sauna at home and at our cottage—and we were very impressed with its size, the modern design, the huge picture window and the style of stove. It got up to temperature even in -17 degree weather. We hiked and snowshoed in the Alexander Hope Smith Nature Reserve which was a walk from the cottage. The town of Washago was a 11 minute drive, with a great grocery store. Would definitely stay there again!

It’s time to plan your lake vacation for 2025
We booked this home after changing our trip dates and losing the original house we rented. Boy, was it worth it!! The home is Beautiful! The views, natural light, huge master bathroom, and the most comfortable couch were just some of our favorite things. One of the bedrooms had kids' books and toys, and it was perfect for our 4-year-old daughter. The owners' communication with us was at its best! We look forward to returning next year!

Awesome Lakefront House/5Bedrooms/Private Dock
Our family enjoyed our stay! The house had plenty of room for all of us. Lots of natural light and a beautiful view. This would be a great place to rent in the summer! If we return to the arena in the summer we will definitely book again.

Cute Waterfront Home
Very clean and awesome lake front location! Enjoyed my entire stay with friend.

Lakeview Cottage
We loved staying at Wei's place. perfect place to land and enjoy the sunset after long days of exploring . Wei was flexible with our check in time. beautiful spot!

Waterfront cottage near Cedar Point, sports force
We were in town for a volleyball tournament and we booked Renee's place for the weekend. It was a great location and close to everything we needed. If we were in town again we would definitely stay here again.

4) Jan-Feb Discounts! Hot Tub/ Lakefront
This is a very comfortable & well-thought out place with all of the detailed creature comforts that i had expected & hoped for from the listing. We had an absolutely magical time here & we appreciate your thoroughness so much. The big beautiful yard & deck outside, the cute table settings & lighting options with dimmer switches inside, the window placement & accents all make a huge yet subtle difference . I cant imagine being unhappy while staying here!

Serene Riverfront 2BR • Spacious • Pool & Hot Tub
We loved our getaway to the Dells. If you've ever been there, you know how busy it is. The condo was just blocks from the hustle and bustle but felt like a world away—peaceful and relaxing! It was spotless and very comfortable. The four teens we brought along loved 'their room'. We loved that the couch was big enough to accommodate us all!

Stylish getaway condo, resort living
very clean place, has everything you need for a great getaway. Ron is an amazing, always available host!

Marina Condo near Lake Michigan
Dave made us feel right at home and answered any questions we had. His place is near restaurants and stores which were very convenient! It is also a 12 minute drive to the national park and there are so many places to check out. It’s about a 45 minute drive to Chicago and there’s a train nearby if you want to take that instead into the city. I highly recommend staying here Dave’s place was clean and he was an amazing host!

Voted Put-in-Bay's #1 Lakefront Condo 212 (8 beds)
Our stay was great! The condo was clean, the golf cart rentals were easily accessible, and the view was amazing. Rhett was proactive in providing us with all the necessary info. We would definitely come back!

Downtown Sandusky Waterfront Chesapeake Condo
Great spot. Very relaxing.

Port Clinton Harborside 2bed/2bath condo w/views
Bridget was a great host, who offered us an earlier check in and later checkout due to the availability. Her place had pretty much everything we needed, including some DVD movies and puzzles, which my granddaughter LOVED. Great views of the water from both sides of the condo, too!
