We stumbled upon this little place through Instagram! I cannot even express how incredible of a find this was!! We chose the Ensuite Lux for a private restroom and it was perfect! We experienced stunning sunrises right from our large bedroom window! It was peaceful and quiet! There was plenty to do! We went kayaking and had a great time! The hot tub was clean and felt AMAZING! Th ga fire pits were perfect to enjoy a drink and the beautiful view! Plenty to do and eat in the area! This is 100% going to be an annual trip for us!

This was a nice experience overall. It's very close just 3 minutes from Cedar Point. It's a lot like camping so be careful that you can adapt to less than modern conveniences. I had to go to the bathroom once in the middle of the night, so I had to put on clothes and shoes and walk to the restrooms, but to their credit it was nice and warm in there. You may want extra blankets in the fall months. Not so in summer, I went in October. There is bug spray in the room, that was nice, it turns out I never had to use it. There are mosquitos outside, so don't let them in the room. But by far the best part is waking up to a beautiful sunrise.

We had the pleasure of getting to stay in the luxury ensuite houseboat and cottage b. Both were very nice. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you want a nice little get away, would definitely recommend checking SolStay out. We will definitely be staying again in the future.

Thank you Joe for taking care of us! We did the lux cabins. Very comfortable very cool, There was air-conditioning that worked perfectly., Little mini fridge was just cold enough for our drinks and snacks. However, the best part was the views. The sunset and the sunrise over the water, beautiful!We had A beautiful time and will be back to visit again. I would say, I might even be open to one of the other cabins and the restrooms and showers that are separated with some cleaning products. But even they were pretty clean. I recommend you try this experience. Spiders are around, but it is still considered camping!

We stayed as a Harvest Host guest. They offer several spots for overnight RV parking. Lovely little marina resort with seating areas, lovely views, showers and restrooms. It poured cats and dogs rain from midnight through morning so we didn't get to take advantage of all this place has to offer. We plan to come again in the future.

What a unique experience! I booked one of the tiny houseboats, & it exceeded my expectations. I was able to rest, & get a little bit of work done in a quiet, clean, comfortable, & private space. At night, I literally felt as though I’d been rocked to sleep. The restroom/showers were steps away, & also very clean.The store/outdoor patio was conveniently located on property, so it was nice to be able to grab a complimentary tea, & purchase a muffin before heading out the next morning. Hoping next time to take advantage of the hot tub & sauna! Thanks for a memorable trip!

The pictures do not do this place justice! AMAZING views from the Lux houseboat!!!!! Watching a storm literally roll in was quite the view. The hospitality we received while visiting was top notch. (I needed a last second gift idea and was blown away with the basket they provided - and I did this very last minute and on a whim and I could not have been happier!) The recommendations we received on where go and things to do in the area really helped us enjoy the weekend as well. We found this place while browsing TikTok and I would HIGHLY recommend SolSTAY for a nice get away. We went in November, well after the season was over, and had such a good time that we booked in August 2026 already.

This place is a gem. The welcoming owners were on site to make sure everything went perfectly for us. We have 2 kids and they had a blast with the putt-putt, hottub, and floating sauna. It's cozy, clean, and memorable. 5 stars!!
