Summary: Plenty of space for the party of 8 we had on the trip. Clean, with a great front porch to enjoy the outdoors even when it rained. The location was ok as we needed to drive into Port Clinton to get on our charter. This was our second time staying at the property. Will do it again!!

Summary: I have stayed in many VRBO properties and this one was by far the most convenient, the cleanest and the best hostess. I would recommend this property for any size group. We have a wonderful time.

Summary: We had a group of 17 family members celebrating christmas together. We used to stay at a place in Cook Forest for many years but it got to be too far away. I was so happy to find this listing! Very nice place that was in a central location and with enough space for everyone. It exceeded our epectations! Some beds were a little uncomfortable and squeeky but overall awesome place and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hosts were very pleasant and easy to work with and very responsive! I highly recommend!

Summary: We needed a place to hold our family Thanksgiving gathering for our large group this year. The cabin had it all. Plenty of sleeping accommodations, games and toys for toddlers to teens, a fire ring for those who braved the cold. There was room to spread out or snuggle together to watch holiday movies. And the kitchen was more than I could have asked for when preparing a Thanksgiving meal for 15! A truly wonderful experience for all of us!

Summary: My family and I loved our stay. We had 5 adults and 5 kids (aged 5-12) and there was plenty of room for all of us. The kids loved the private beach and the paddle boards/kayaks. It was so convenient to be able to just walk back to the house if we needed something or someone was done swimming. And the firepit on the beach was a great bonus at night. We will definitely plan on a return trip.

Summary: Driftwood Lodge was a charming respite from all our budy lives. Space behind french doors & Wifi accommodated our eldest daughter having to work with online meetings the first couple of days. Our son , whose work overlapped during that time, mansged his meetings between cell phone & online. The littles (9months old, 18 months old & 3 1/2 yrs old) LOVED the footed tub & the beach. But there was plenty of room for them to play inside while we prepared meals. Sunsets were beautiful on the bay. When wind picked up, the mayflies didn't hang around. Kids enjoyed the daily visits from nature: bsby gull at the beach (with watchful parents nearby), wild turkey & several families of Canada geese. That being said, the drive & beach were clean & nicely kept as well. The young coupkes enjoyed the paddleboard at the beach. Proximity to Marblehead light & the island ferries & Tofts Ice Cream made for fun outings. Nice space behing the cabin to enjoy outside in the evening. The slider on the fron deck was another great place to great the day with our morning coffee & conversation. Truly Driftwood Lodge is a place our family would enjoy coming back to at any age!! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. P. S. Don't plan on doing laundry on vacation. It is after all VACATION!!
