- Commonly asked questions -

Is the property located directly on the water?

Yes, the house is directly on the water, no other property separates you from Lake Erie. There is a hill that was built 30 years ago to prevent the peninsula from flooding, so you must walk up a hill located 40 foot out the back door to see the water.

Can you swim, is there a beach?

While I don't recommend swimming, you can. It is very rocky beach out back. Some people have brought kayaks to launch and have had no issues.

Is there room to park my boat? Can I fish?

You can fish out back, pick your lucky spot on the rocks and cast a line! There is room for boat parking, I will just need a heads up. The local launch is about 2 miles away, and you are split pretty even between Catawba and Detroit for fishing!

House was clean and cozy, and provided excellent views for back yard birdwatching. Also, being a short drive to several local nature preserves and many restaurants is a huge bonus. We will remember this spot!
