We like to keep things clear and upfront so you can feel 100% confident about what to expect. Here are a few helpful things to know before your stay:
Swimming Safety
The Beach House comes with access to paddleboards, kayaks, and beach toys — everything you need to make the most of your Lake Erie waterfront. Equipment is available for guest use at no extra charge, so all you need to bring is sunscreen. Please note that all water equipment is to be used at your own risk. We ask that all guests follow proper water safety practices, especially when children are present. Life jackets and supervision are the responsibility of the guest. The Beach House and its hosts assume no liability for accidents or injuries related to water activity.
Water & Septic Info
The Beach House runs on a cistern water system—the water is, filtered, clean and drinkable, but it’s stored in a holding tank. We monitor it remotely to ensure it doesn’t run out, but we do ask guests to be mindful of usage. For waste, we also have a holding tank system. So please, toilet paper only down the toilet—no wipes or extras.
Internet Access
We’re in a peaceful rural spot, and with that comes the occasional Wi-Fi blip. It’s generally reliable, but we want you to know ahead of time, great for streaming and casual use, but if you're planning to work remotely, it's good to have a backup plan just in case.
Lakeside Living
Being in the countryside close to the lake means you’ll be close to farm fields and there's lots of moisture, so expect nature! In spring, harmless gnats can swarm if lights are on and doors/windows are open, so keep them shut. Mosquitoes, flies, and other bugs are common in warmer months, so bring repellent. Our cleaners do their best, but a few flies or spiders may still sneak in, it’s all part of lakeside living!
Cleaning & Safety
Your health and comfort matter to us. That’s why we follow a detailed cleaning and sanitization process after every guest checkout. Everything’s fresh and spotless when you arrive.
Firewood
We love a good fire too. Firewood isn’t included, but it’s super easy to grab nearby for about $6 a bundle from friendly local vendors.
Guest Verification
If you have not booked with Airbnb, before you arrive, you will be asked to complete guest verification through the third-party provider Truvi. You will also be given the choice between a security deposit and a non-refundable damage waiver. This is done to ensure we are keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations as well as providing both our guests and our properties with extra protection. Truvi will contact you via email and/or text to complete the verification. Please do so prior to arriving at the property to enable a quick and easy check-in process.
