My small family spent four delightful nights in this cozy cottage in the heart of Sandusky and it was difficult to leave! I still cannot get over the warm and welcoming atmosphere; the cottage felt like home for the duration of our stay. The effort and attention to detail the hosts put in to bringing the cottage to life is remarkable, from the fresh eggs in the fridge to the charming European-farm style decor, they thought everything! Putting the cottage over the top were the pleasing Autumn seasonal decorations thoughtfully arranged inside and out, perfect for the crisp Ohio Fall and Halloween season. I cannot say enough about this cottage and the hospitality of its owners, highly recommend, and will be returning! ##### Cynthia B.
