| We had a wonderful stay at Skipping Rock Lake House in July. The location and view are both perfect making for a relaxing getaway. We loved being able to use the kayaks and paddle boards provided to enjoy time on the water during the day and then use the cornhole boards for fun in the evenings. The bunkie is a wonderful place to rest while keeping the cozy cottage atmosphere with refreshing air conditioning and comfortable beds after long days outdoors. This cottage has everything we needed for cooking outdoors with the wonderful blackstone grill. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable escape.

Owner response: Nicole, Thank you for providing an amazing review. We love reading the details about what our guests love so we can keep providing what they love most! I agree, cornhole games are so much fun and a great way to spend the afternoons at the lake. We do have many guests leaving reviews for the main cottage, so thank you for referencing how you enjoyed sleeping in the Bunkie. It is the perfect way to add more friends and family to your stay at Skipping Rock Lake House. Thank you again. Lisa | |

| I have been coming to this beautiful cottage for the past 5 years and we are never disappointed. The pride Jason and Lisa take shows every time we are there. My daughter and I go the same week every year to celebrate our birthdays and every year it a mix of celebrating with friends and family and chill days relaxing on the water with nights by the bonfire. If you are looking for a great cottage that you don't have to fight highway traffic to get to a week summer get away this is the spot. Not to mention the cottage is fully stocked with everything you need and many things you didn't even think you needed this is the place. AND the Coleman outdoor flat grill makes cooking all meals outdoors easy.

Owner response: Heather Thank you for choosing Skipping Rock Lake House time and time again. We love that you choose your birthday week to stay at our cottage. I can think of no better way to celebrate than a getaway at the lake. Also, thank you for already booking for 2027. We have several guests like you who book ahead to secure your desired time. We agree, meals on the Blackstone Grille are super easy, where you can make a full meal on one surface. Thank you for supporting our small business. Until next time! Lisa | |

| Skipping Rock Lake House was the perfect escape! The location right on the water is stunning, and we loved spending our mornings on the break wall with a coffee, watching the water. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, super comfortable, and packed with thoughtful extras like board games and a massive DVD collection for cozy nights. Having the kayaks and paddleboards right there made it so easy to get out on the lake. Jason met us at arrival, showed us around, and were incredibly welcoming. It is an absolute gem of a cottage and we cannot wait to come back!

Owner response: Vimal, Thank you for leaving such a glowing review for us! Jason and I are so happy that you and your family had an amazing time. I appreciate you sharing specifics about what you loved as it helps us know what we excelled in addition to helping others who are looking for a cottage to book make an informed decision. We too love just looking at the water from the break wall skypad. The water always brings a sense of calm over you. It would be our pleasure to have you back again. Thanks again for your business.

| What a wonderful stay we had for our friends annual Father's Day trip. Such a beautiful setting, tucked in a bay, away from the big Lake Erie winds. The cottage has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Lots of beds for large groups, including a bunkie. It comes with all the amenities you need but it's really the outside that is above all other places we have stayed. A beautiful lake front area to sit and relax and have a fire at night. The lake views are stunning!! I highly recommend staying at Skipping Rock!!

We look forward to hosting you and your group again next year. Father's Day is the perfect time to book. Lisa | |
