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!

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.

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.

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!
