Great weekend

House was excellent and in a great location. Kids loved the bunk rooms and we made use of the fire pit both nights we stayed. The only negative is that the house is located on a pretty busy street and the bait shop sign was lit all night and shined pretty bright into the backyard. I do highly recommed the property, especially if your looking for a place with great boat trailer parking for fishing trips...especially with the catawba launch 5 min down the road. We didnt bring the boat this time, but i will be sure to keep it in mind for my next fishing trip.

Cute and it’s a nice location

Just need to mention all of us who stayed said the photos don’t give this property justice. It’s bigger than photos show. The bunk beds are a nice size and two ladies could fit on one bed. Most preferred to not take the top bunk lol. I received a cute welcome bag, travel size shampoo , conditioner and body soap given. Lots of towels and they had choices of ground coffee or k cup coffee. Let’s not forget the neighbor and bait shop people were so fun and kind! We loved this location!!! I will definitely keep this home in my favorites to book again. I already asked the ladies when we could go back and we just left this morning!

This property hits it “outta the park” with great location, being well-stocked, and spacious. More than enough rooms for kids and multiple families looking to take advantage of what our Lake Erie shores has to offer. Thanks Patty!

Not just for fishermen!

Our family of 5 was in the area for a wedding and we spent two nights at the Catawba Fish House. It was a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and comfortable. We especially appreciated that there was plenty of parking out front and a lovely, well-maintained sitting area out back. The host was accommodating and easy to communicate with, both before and during our stay.

3rd stay.. just as great!

4 night stay for a May walleye trip, our 3rd stay here in as many years. I can honestly say that Patty has thought of everything for this house, perfect for a fishing trip and imagine it would be awesome for a family islands excursion as well. Well equipped kitchen, great common spaces (inside and out), comfy beds and excellent amenities! Only wish we could stay longer!

Birthday at the Catawba Fish House

We decided to celebrate my wife’s birthday with a trip to the islands in Lake Erie, neither one of us had ever been to the area so we decided to stay on Catawba fish house for us and about five of our friends. The house was very spacious for everyone clean and very well organized and label to find everything. What a nice homebase for an island adventure. Would highly recommend for a relaxing trip or a fishing trip. Very well suited for both. Look forward to visiting again.

Very comfortable, great space, kids room a hit!

This home was perfect for our family reunion. My cousin lives nearby and our actual reunion was at her house but we needed space for my family and my sisters’ families to stay. Family room and dining areas were spacious and comfortable. Everything well appointed, every detail included to make our stay perfect. The bunk room was a standout- 4 built in full size bunks with a light and plugs for each bed, a little niche in each to put their phones and small items, plenty of storage. Even little fans that could be used at each bunk! We would stay here again and my cousin was so impressed she took the card so she could recommend it when she had others come to stay!

Another Great Stay

This was our 2nd time staying at this fantastic rental in Catawba Island. While our fishing was not as successful - the location and the amenities provided cannot be understated. Communication with Patty was great, and the place is spacious and has everything you need - whether you are there just for a weekend away or for a serious fishing trip. I love that it is right across from Herb's and so close to 2 boat launches... not to mention just down the road from Twin Oast and the winery. Cannot wait for our next trip!

Great place to stay!

6 of us stayed here for a fishing trip on Lake Erie. This place checked off all the boxes for us! Large dining room table for us all to eat together at, two showers with soft large towels, room for 6 to comfortably relax and watch tv in the evenings, and plenty of beds. Patty is a great host and she will be sure all of your needs are met.
