From the minute we pulled up to the place to the minute we left, our stay at the cottage on the river was perfect! We needed a place in the Ashtabula area that was convenient to the wineries, Lake Erie, and on some water, and this property checked all the boxes! We didn’t expect that it would come with such comfortable and livable surroundings. The owner has thought of everything a guest would need or want; the place is neat as a pin inside and out, plenty of clean towels, pillows and bedding, a hot shower with plenty of volume, and a well equipped kitchen. She provided lots of information about the local restaurants and activities in case it was your first trip to beautiful Northeast Ohio. That being said, you could never leave the property and have plenty of things to do. Kayaks for the river which is just down a flight of sturdy steps, several bikes to explore with, a quaint cemetery just a short walk away with lots of 1800s gravestones, and a covered bridge within a quarter of a mile! My favorite part about the outside area was all the seating that is provided - tables on both porches, and benches scattered across the property just where you would want to sit. Our dog, a retriever, found the river within minutes of our arrival and happily paddled in the shallow, calm water. Sharon was easily accessible by phone although we didn’t need a thing! What else can I say - just that we hope to return soon to this place!
