House was nice but not the cleanest, spiderwebs and the fridge and freezers were not cleaned. Left over food from the previous renters. Great location. We had great weather and a nice weekend.

We had a great time staying at the driftwood property. The house and lake/beach area were perfect for a friends trip with kids ranging from 4-11 years old. Awesome bar/restaurant (Rayz on the bay) was in walking distance. A little private sitting area in the back of the house with great lighting and seating for a relaxing night. Bayview Watercraft Rentals were more than an accommodating. We enjoyed using the paddle-boards and watching the beautiful sunsets at the private beach area. Cedar point was just a short drive and perfect for a day trip. Would highly recommend!

Pamella was a wonderful hostess. I took my family and in laws to the cottage and we loved it!! We were so pleased with the hospitality we were shown throughout our stay. Pamella left us wine, lottery tickets, and other goodies. Michael, Isaac and Trent were all very helpful and kind. They were they guys we rented our jet ski from across the street. Did I mention there was a private beach?? That was one of my favorite parts of this trip. The bay was beautiful. We will definitely be back. Thank you all for making us feel like we were at home!

Pamela's lodge/cabin was perfectly suited for the gathering of a large family. She was a very gracious host and made it personal to our visit. Plenty of parking and a nice quiet location. Unfortunately, we could not enjoy the extra accommodations outside of the property due to weather, but we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend!

I had a group of 11 friends staying with me for a few days of fishing. This place was perfect for us . There was plenty of parking for our trucks and boats and cleaning station for our fish. The house has plenty of room . I will come back next year.

I rented the property for Thanksgiving for my whole family, my son and daughter and their families...6 grandkids and a grand dog, my partner, and my former spouse all stayed and had a great time... beautiful weather and comfortably rustic accommodations which we all enjoyed. And Pamella made our arrival and stay very easy. She even left us snacks, lottery tickets, and a bottle of wine!... very thoughtful of her!

This was our 2nd year renting the lodge for a group of 7 guys to stay and fish. The property continues to receive amazing upgrades with new ownership. They left snacks, can cozies and even lotto tickets for us upon arrival. Very clean and well kept log cabin lodge with lots of room and trailer parking. New shed with gravel area and fish cleaning. Very relaxing spot, we will be back for another trip!

We had a great time! We stay for just the weekend to visit cedar point. The property was clean, the property manager was very to communicate with and even offered to have us check in the day before at no additional cost! Would highly recommend and would stay again!

Great property, great location. The host was amazing! The lodge was so much more than we had expected. Beach was clean, locals were super nice and helpful, bar within walking distance! Will definitely recommend and will definitely come back!

This home and the surrounding area was perfect for our family gathering. We were able to bring our dog family members. Lots of beds and places to sit to eat, play board games, talk. We rented kayaks for the week across the street from the cabin and were able to explore Sandusky Bay whenever we wanted. Rayz on the Bay is a small walk from the cabin and has great food and drinks. Cedar Point and all of the stores, restaurants, and entertainment in the Sandusky, Port Clinton, and Marblehead area are easily accessible. This is a very relaxing and comfortable place for a family gathering.

Beautiful setting. Plenty of room and beds for 11 of us. Did not use the beach much due to the weather but the private beach is very nice. Would recommend as very comfortable for all. Spent most of time sitting around the fire beside the gazebo.

The property was amazing! Have a large family and rented the cottage along with the lodge for a week. There was no shortage of space or places for everyone to sleep. We were not on top of each
other and everyone had their own space. Large living room and plenty of tables and space for everyone to eat. We had two boats along with 5 vehicles and never had to move vehicles. The private beach was awesome and great for all the kids. Nice rock point just off the property by Clemens marina that was great for the kids to fish. Brady and Shaw running the jet ski rentals were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was clean and everyone was happy. Large yard and camp fire ring for games along with another fire ring on the beach. Clemens
marina was awesome and very friendly. Pam did an amazing job and the process from booking to leaving was smooth. Always responds timely if there is any questions and makes sure that you
enjoy yourself during your stay. I have stayed at many ABNBs and VRBOs and I would put this on the top of my list. Would rate higher if that was possible. Only downfall was the sand does not go
far into the water and turns rocky. Minor detail with everything else it offers. The property is also located in the middle of countless things to do or see so no long drives for entertainment. Highly
recommend!

This is our sixth year making this weekend trip at Driftwood. Check in and out is very seamless. The new updates to the home are great. 8 couples come up once per year without our kiddos and rent a pontoon from Clemens for the day. Plenty of room for everyone. Easy communication with property owner. Plenty of parking. The new rental place across the road is very accommodating as well. If you are looking for a comfortable rental no matter what length of time you are staying we 10/10 recommend. Hope to see you again next year!

Second year we stayed and loved it.

We had fifteen in the cabin for our stay. The online video and pictures were very helpful for planning purposes. The rooms were clean and we had plenty of space. Mattresses could have been more comfortable but the other accomodations outweighed this. The picture of the private beach did not do it justice. It was very nice....we have had other priviate beaches on the great lakes that have not measured up to this one at all. The boys in the beach shack were VERY helpful and made us feel like family. We enjoyed a peaceful last night bonfire on the water with a lovely breeze. While there we also enjoyed Cedar Point (family favorite) and Put-in-Bay, (was worth the experience but was costly and would not do again if we returned to the area). Besides that, we enjoyed some local restaraunts and played family games in the cabin and on the beach. Pamella promptly answered all my last minute questions leading up to the trip and we enjoyed our welcome (goodies). Thank you for a wonderful family vaction!

Great service
The location was great with private beach access. Communication with the owners was on point. The ovens went out and they responded immediately and addressed the problem. They do a great job of taking care of their guests. We would definitely stay again.

The cabin and private beach area worked out great for our group.
The rustic cabin was well stocked. We were able to grill out and the assistance from the neighbors involved with beach rentals was nice.

We really enjoyed Driftwood Lodge. Our party of nine people and three dogs had plenty of space. It is well appointed, well stocked with linens and paper products, and had the best welcome gifts for our arrival. The Lodge is located close to Cedar Point, Put-in-Bay, and has its own private beach to enjoy the lake. Bayview Watercraft Rentals is located on the private beach so you can kayak, paddleboard or jet ski without starting your car! The gentlemen who run the rentals are awesome, go say hi! The yard has a fire pit, gazebo, and ample seating for a crowd. The owners are making upgrades, so we cannot wait to come back and see the changes! We had a night is crazy storms and Pamela checked in us to make sure we were ok. From check in to check, she was the perfect hostess.

The homeowner contacted me and allowed us to check in early at no additional cost which was fantastic and allowed us to start our journey down 1 day early. We came with 3 boats and 3 trucks and 9 guys and stayed for 1 week. There was plenty of room to park along with outside power to plug in for charging at night before the next day of fishing. That was a huge plus for us. Sleeping arrangements were great and everyone was able to have their own bed. Also a huge plus was that we were able to clean and package fish while staying. They provided plenty of freezer space for our fish. There was plenty of seating when it came to sitting down for a meal at the table as well. One thing I would have like to see was a washer and dryer, specifically for those rainy days out in the boat when clothing gets wet. All in all I think we will be returning again next year!

Fishing Trip
The place worked perfect for what we were wanting. There were 10 adults in our fishing group and there was plenty of space to relax and a bed for everyone. Plenty of room for parking even with 3 boats. Easy to find and just a few minute drive to the closest boat launches. Owners are relatively new and once they get the fish cleaning station replaced and their improvements done this will be a very nice place to stay for future fishing groups and we will definitely look into staying with them again.

Very nice property, sleeping quarters are a bit cramped but perfectly fine for sleeping. Large open area for eating and gathering. Kitchen area is in need of some updating with the countertops and lighting. The double oven was a much needed surprise for preparation of large group meals.
We very much enjoyed our stay.
