This is my second time staying at this lake house rental for a weekend of shopping and relaxation. It’s clean, quiet and has everything we needed. We had so much fun shopping (only20 minutes from First Monday in Canton)we didn’t get to enjoy the fishing or the barn with all the games. Watching the sunset over the lake with a glass of wine was a great way to end each day. Already looking forward to our next stay next year. Book it NOW!

We traveled to First Catch to shop in Canton for the weekend. This place is perfect… from the location, the quiet peaceful atmosphere, the beautiful sunsets, and of course the accommodations!! The owners were accommodating and communicated all that we needed to know. This is our second time staying at “First Catch” and we will definitely be back next year!!
