About this space
Cedar Retreat is a refreshed single-level home right in the heart of Port Clinton, one of Lake Erie’s favourite western-basin towns. It’s built for comfort over compromise — two real king bedrooms, a queen sleeper sofa for extra guests, and a genuinely walkable spot a couple of minutes from the neighbourhood park and five to ten from Lakeview Park Beach.
The two king bedrooms suit two couples or a family who’d rather have proper beds than bunks. The primary has navy paddle-print wallpaper, its own private ensuite with a tub/shower combo, and a Roku smart TV; the second king, off the living room, has a Roku TV of its own and is served by the hallway bathroom’s standup shower. When you need room for six, the living-room sofa opens to a queen.
The open living area centres on a Roku smart TV and comfortable seating. The kitchen is stocked with full cookware and dishes and a Keurig K-Duo coffee bar with K-Cups, creamer, and sugar — note there’s no dishwasher here, so dishes are washed by hand. A cosy built-in bench-seat dining nook sits just off the kitchen, and there’s a full washer and dryer for longer stays. Central air and heat keep the home comfortable year-round.
Outside is where the home earns its name. A covered front sunroom with rocking chairs is a quiet spot for morning coffee, and the fenced backyard has a gas grill, outdoor dining, a hammock, and a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs (bring or pick up firewood — it isn’t provided). For beach days we keep beach chairs, a wagon, and towels in the garage for you, and the driveway is sized for two to three vehicles or a boat and trailer.

Good to know
No dishwasher
The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking with cookware and dishes, but there is no dishwasher — dishes are washed by hand at the sink.
Toiletries well-stocked, not starter-only
Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided in both bathrooms, and toiletries, paper towels, and trash bags are stocked for a full stay rather than just a starter amount.
Security camera on the garage
A Google Nest camera is mounted on the detached garage and faces the driveway only — there are no cameras with interior or entry views.
Train tracks nearby
The home is within earshot of nearby train tracks, so you may hear passing trains from time to time, particularly at night.
Parking, not the garage
The driveway fits two to three vehicles, or one vehicle plus a boat and trailer. The garage is owner storage with a locked closet and isn’t available for guest vehicles — though the beach gear kept inside is yours to use.
Firewood for the fire pit
The backyard fire pit is wood-burning and firewood isn’t provided, so plan to pick some up nearby or bring your own.
Family-ready
A Pack ’n Play (sheets not included) and a children’s high chair are available for families travelling with little ones.
A car is handy
The park and beach are an easy walk, but a car makes the rest of the area — downtown, the Jet Express ferry, the wineries, and Cedar Point — easy to reach. There is no public transit.

What's yours during the stay

What guests say
The location of the property was perfect. We were able to visit with family from Fremont, OH and take my in-laws who met in Port Clinton and were married there 64 years ago. Lots of traveling back in time to remember when… and lots of wonderful memories were made.

The house was very nice and welcoming. Clean and easy to find items needed. The only drawback was the loud air conditioner in the laundry room. A few of us noticed the train, but it wasn’t really loud.

This was the perfect little getaway! House had everything you needed and you felt right at home! Enjoyed my few days here and will be back!

The newly-renovated house is conveniently located for the park, beach and lighthouse, and Jet Express to Put-in-Bay. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. We enjoyed just relaxing on the hammock and in the Adirondack chairs in the back yard. Walleye and onion rings at the nearby Jolly Rogers restaurant were great. We went to Johnson's Island Stockade Cemetery where Confederate prisoners who died were buried. We only found one game and no videos, but the TVs provides easy access to subscriptions like Netflix.

Hi Harry, thanks so much for the review! So glad you loved the beds, the hammock, and just relaxing in the backyard - and that walleye at Jolly Rogers is always a good call. Sounds like you found some great spots around town too. Just to clarify on games/movies - we don't stock those as amenities, so what you found may have been left by a guest before you, and the TV resets blank between stays until you sign into your own accounts. Hope to have you back!

This BnB was exactly as described and the kitchen was extremely well equipped, including a gas stove. The knives were sharp, outside grill was incredible and the fire pit was exactly what we were looking for. Host was responsive and flexible, we had a great time!

The host was very nice! The description of the house definitely matches what you will find inside, outside and around the house. This house is perfect for those that are looking for something simple and practical. There was just one issue that we found with the AC unit as there was no partition between the laundry room and the kitchen which did make it a little loud at times. Beyond that we definitely enjoyed our stay and recommend it for others!

Hi Shashank, thanks for the review. You're right about the AC — it's in an open spot next to the kitchen with nothing between them, and we're looking into ways to help mitigate the noise. Appreciate the specific feedback.

Where you'll be
You’re on a quiet residential street in the heart of Port Clinton, on Lake Erie’s western basin — the self-styled Walleye Capital of the World and the gateway to the Lake Erie Islands. The neighbourhood park with its playground is at the end of the block, and Lakeview Park Beach is a five-to-ten-minute walk away. Downtown shops and dining are a few minutes’ drive.
You won’t need a car for the park or the beach — both are an easy walk. For everything else, a car is the easy way to get around; there’s no public transit. Downtown Port Clinton and the Jet Express ferry to Put-in-Bay are about five minutes’ drive, the Lake Erie Shores & Islands wineries fifteen or so, and Cedar Point in Sandusky about twenty-five to thirty.
