The house was older but great! The video game didn’t work but Kevin came and replaced it. He was nice and communicative. Checking out was easy too.
5.0
The McKinley house allowed three families (siblings and kids!) to stay together, share meals, play games and get to Cedar Point with ease. From age 2-54, we all had fun. The host noticed that the game table was not working and sent us a partial efund even though we neither complained nor requested a refund. Hotel options in the area are pretty bare bones and the McKinley house is a welcoming home that was a soft place to land after the long days at the parks. I recommend without hesitation.
5.0
The house is clean, comfortable, lots of room, lots of games and activities. We enjoyed our stay very much. Definitely would stay there again if we get back that way.

Location to Cedar Point was great. House was big, clean, well stocked and lots to entertain our teens.

This is the perfect spot if you have a larger group going to Cedar Point or doing activities in the area. I will note that the temperature fluxuates room to room and the beds/pull out couches aren't the most comfortable, but it's clean, a great space and affordable if you want a fun space to have some down time together. Aside from food, they had everything we needed from linens to utensils.
5.0
We came up to Cedar Point for a basketball shootout and the property was perfect for our team and adult chaperones. Plenty of rooms, spaces for the girls to hang out, and house was very clean. The outdoor space was fun for the night and the girls enjoyed the fire and cornhole games. Thank you for allowing us to stay.
5.0
We enjoyed this property so much that we decided to "stay in" each evening after spending our days visiting family, enjoying the near-by attractions, and Cedar Point (of course) which was only 5-10 minutes away. Some family came by to visit us, and we had plenty of room in the spacious backyard to enjoy. The owner supplied us with all the cooking hardware and sleeping spaces we needed. My family had plenty of room to spread out if we wanted to. If you want to enjoy the close proximity to downtown and attractions, have a large group, or even a small group that would enjoy a larger living environment, this is your place to be.

We require a large house that can hold 20 people for all our kids and grandkids to spend holidays together.
No issues with the house and matched exactly what we needed.

This was a great place to stay for a weekend getaway. Lots of charm and tons of room, plus all the amenities you could ask for.
5.0
The home was very clean and spacious enough for family gatherings. The home's décor gives a cozy cabin feel which adds to the overall vibe of the property. The property also has common areas that promote socializing indoors and outdoors.
5.0
We got in a little late and the code we got was incorrect, but Kevin responded immediately to a phone call and resolved it right away. The house was beautiful. There were places it was showing its age but for such a classic it was in excellent shape. Just wish we had more time to enjoy all the amenities.

We were excited to stay here until arrival when we got a very long message of all the things we can’t do and the consequences if we did them. There are cameras all over the place. We understand security, but the manager wrote in our message that it is used to watched who and how many go in and out for head count. So he admitted the cameras were to watch us and not just for security purposes. We did not let our children out the entire time because we didn’t want him watching them. We even felt like he was watching us from inside the house, but could not find interior cameras. Overall, it was not fun at all and we stayed away from the house as much as we could. We have stayed in many places and never had this kind of awful experience before. When you book this property, you will receive all his “fine print” dos and don’ts and will make you extremely uncomfortable. We talked to a lawyer during a consultation because we were so upset about the cameras, but ended up not going forward with it as it was not worth the time and money in the end. The nice big patio you may think looks fun has 4-5 cameras on it. And he will tell you that he has a property manager that lives directly across the street and will be watching how many are there too. Then if there are extra people on camera, they will send you $90 bill for each.
Again, he messaged me that the purpose for cameras was to watch how many are going in and out and that his manager across the street watches. We also had 9 people in the “sleeps 21” house. If anyone over the headcount shows up it is an extra $60-$90 even though the house accommodates 21.

We stayed for a bachelorette weekend and it was a great experience! The house is located so close to Cedar point and to the main strip in Sandusky. Kevin was a great host and answer any questions very quickly. Highly recommend!

Like many of the homes in this area, this home was built around in the early 1900’s. With any home of this age, there are going to be “quirks” or “inconveniences”. If you expect a home that would be featured on a show for its majestic yet modern aesthetics then this is not the home for you. If you want a home that is solid, safe & close to Cedar Point then book it but not until you’ve read my full review.
Let’s be honest, the only reason you’re staying in Sandusky is for Cedar Point. The city itself is not one that makes it to your bucket list (although Cedar Point should be on it). I grew up near Sandusky and I was expecting the home to be over 100 years old and moderately maintained, so it did not disappoint. It was about 5 minutes from Cedar Point, had enough space for at least 8 adults, a full kitchen and cost a lot less than hotel rooms.
Pros:
*The contact person has got to be mentioned first. He is spectacular and very attentive.
*Location
*Size
*Games/game room
*Patio area that is private
*Driveway
*Old house character
Cons:
*I have to mention the linens first because it gave me the heeby jeebies. Bed linens are old. Elastic shot. At least one of the beds had linens with a couple tiny stains that looked like dried blood. The instructions for checkout made me wonder if the comforters aren’t laundered each time. (Eww)
*Mattresses are old and very uncomfortable.
*Pillows were horrendous. Thank God I always bring my pillow from home.
*Kitchen flooring needs replacing before it swallows a renter.
*Not fully renovated (still some of the old charm of an old home).
*Window units instead of central air (we stayed end of June and it wasn’t bad.)
*Could have been cleaner… It’s clean, but with its age and some of the lower grade renovations it seemed not quite as clean as one would expect with regular professional cleaning.
I would have loved to give a 5 star rating but felt it was appropriate to deduct stars for the needed renovations (I don’t mind it but some people will) and the linen/mattress concerns. I feel it necessary to say that if the linens/mattresses were addressed I would definitely book again. The flooring issues in the kitchen are more about safety than comfort. And the renovations were perfectly acceptable to me in relation to what is expected in a home of that age and in that city.

The house was old, but well equipped. Its proximity to Cedar Point made this an ideal place to stay. We greatly enjoyed the patio and fier place. I would stay here again.
