BEACH/LAKEFRONT
Sunset Beach is a natural Great Lakes shoreline that changes with the weather. We have many beach stones, driftwood, and beach glass. Sunset Beach is a great place to relax, celebrate all occasions, swim, walk the beach, fish, kayak, water sports, enjoy a campfire, and treasure hunt for beach glass or other flotsam and jetsam. Please note, the shoreline of Sunset Beach is a rock beach.
Freeport Beach, the public beach next to us, does get sand replenishment and grooming. Little ones will enjoy the playground at Freeport Beach. Older kids and adults can enjoy the sand volleyball courts there. In the summer season, Freeport Beach offers a lifeguard.
Guests with limited mobility can enjoy the lake views from the home and decks. The decks are partially shaded. The beach requires good mobility for access, as the surface is uneven with scattered driftwood, beach stones, etc. Driving distance to Freeport Beach for those who want to bypass the creek is about half a mile. Walking distance to Freeport Beach is much closer.
ATTRACTIONS
Lake Erie Wine Trail: We are located on the Lake Erie Wine Trail. 26 wineries make up the complete wine trail. Wineries are open YEAR ROUND and close only on major holidays. Along the wine trail we have many artisans, galleries, antique shops, and restaurants. If you visit during a slower time, call ahead to book a special small group session with a winemaker for a look behind the scenes.

Steelhead season typically runs from October through March, but creeks can and do freeze over for the latter part of the season.
