Rural Retreat yet close to the sites. Cedar point*Jet Express* African Safari

Getaway at Ben & Lucy's Retreat. This spacious family friendly farmhouse hosts 4 queen bedrooms and 3 full baths. Plenty of space to hang out with family and friends inside and out. Inside there are 2 sitting areas, living room, and large kitchen with seating. There is ample room outside to grill out, play corn-hole or share stories around the fire-pit. Easy access from Rt.2 and 80/90 turnpike. Head over to The Jet Express 4 miles away and visit Put in Bay for the day. Visit Cedar Point 17 miles away. Port Clinton and surrounding areas have many tourist activities whether you want to fish, swim at East Harbor State Park, view the Marblehead Lighthouse, tour the wineries, eat at local restaurants or shop.

Central Location

We've stayed here multiple times and the location is perfect for our fishing needs. It is located between Port Clinton and Wild Wings Marina, which just happens to work out for us.

Comfy and quiet

Clean and spacious. Country setting. Not walking distance to attractions , restaurants, etc. but an easy drive to most. Rooms and bathrooms were great! 2- car garage was a plus. Definitely would stay again.

Quaint Home Centrally Located

Had seven guests, tons of space! Nice quiet setting with easy access to Jet Express, Cedar Point and everything in between. The owners obviously take great pride in their property. Well maintained, nice decor, modern features and easy to follow instructions for check in/check out. Will definitely stay again.

The very best of the best.

A wonderfully clean, spacious, and homey stay. The owner and the lady who did the daily cleaning were so helpful and kind. They even provided some great farm-fresh cantaloupe for us. We hope to stay here again in two years when we return for the next reunion.

Great Place for a Large Group!

This house was fantastic to stay at while we were fishing Lake Erie. The location was close to town, as well as, close to the marina that we fished out of. The home is very large, with four nice bedrooms and a full size kitchen! As fishermen, we would have liked to have a chest freezer in the garage to freeze our fish, but other than that, this place was great! We will definitely be staying here again!!

Fabulous spacious country home

Fabulous farmhouse-like home with all the amenities. All bedrooms are organized and spacious. Kitchen is amazing-all the amenities and lots of space. Front porch is so comfortable and enjoyable all day long. Grill works great. Comfortable living room and additional sitting room. Lots of space for a large or small group. We'll be going back!

large home and yard all in good shape. Some traffic noise, but that is really only a negative for those of us who are used to life in rural America.

Just Right

Our small group of friends make an annual weekend trip to the Sandusky/aport Clinton area. The property was perfect for us to lounge and visit and prep/ eat meals. There is a grocery store withing 15minutes and the jet express ferry is also within 10 min. There were several restaurants nearby with gluten free options and a variety of choices. Marcy was amazingly helpful. We had a great time and would consider booking again. We had 4 adults and one teen in our party.

Great location

This was a lovely property!- good outdoor space and lovely home with plenty of space for my family (5). The only downside is the road has some traffic noise starting at 4-5a although it only bothered me, the rest of my family didn't notice. I used ear plugs and that helped me as a light sleeper who was staying in the front upstairs bedroom. On the positive of being near the main road, is that it was an easy 15 mins or so to downtown Port Clinton and just little longer to other nearby towns. The owner was very responsive and helpful overall and we would definitely stay again and have recommended it to others. Good deal with cost as well

Port Clinton farmhouse

We loved staying at the old farmhouse. There was plenty of room to spread out. The children loved the games and toys, which was a delightful and unexpected surprise. I appreciated the well equipped kitchen. We were all very comfortable and felt as if we were at home.

Great family home

We enjoyed our stay at this home for Memorial Day weekend. It is a great property - clean, well equipped, plenty of room, activities and games for kids of all ages! Unfortunately the weather was cold and rainy so unable to enjoy outside activities but fortunately the garage was large enough to play games inside. The only minus was no access to washer/dryer where if available, would have been the cherry on top! Nonetheless, great home and great stay. Thank you for the hospitality! The Smiths and friends!!
