Like Green Herons themselves, this modest cottage can surprise a bit. Just because you arent a big, well known, Heron, doesnt mean you cant sport a bit of unexpected color and stick your neck out w/ surprises like a big kitchen, generous king BR, 2 desk workspaces, and a fenced yard. Then do all that .5 mi. from I75 N exit 209, in a beguiling community of historic boat clubs surrounded by 2 rivers and a lake. Quiet neighborhood, 2 parking spots, more info. below and in photo captions
PARKING - There are two parking spaces on the driveway. Local ordinances do not allow for vehicles to block sidewalks, even when parked on their own driveway, and elderly neighbors walking along the sidewalk will call.
To fit a 20 vehicle (like a large truck or van) and an average sedan, without blocking the sidewalk, we pull one vehicle up alongside the front porch. We do not recommend pulling fully alongside the house as you may damage the house or your vehicle and wont be able to open the doors on one side anyway.
We also sometimes park one vehicle around the corner on 286th street (like when an electrician or plumbers truck needs to use the driveway). There is usually a parking spot available very near the corner.
It is legal to park on the road in front of the house, but it is only a two lane road and residents have done that and had their vehicles hit.

Living room with 55 inch smart Roku enabled TV which you can sign into your own accounts such as Netflix, watch live TV, and can control with your phone, just remember to log out of all accounts before you check out. There are also a few books and games for evening that you want to say in.
Kitchen/dinning - in addition to Calphalon stainless steel pots and pans, dinner and silverware, an electric kettle and french press, toaster, and small magic bullet to conveniently mix shakes or smoothies, there is also an Instapot Duo which functions as an Instapot or Air Fryer.
Queen Bedroom - Wink brand soft model mattress, cooling mattress protector, four pillows for a selection of soft to firm. Has surge protector with USB, luggage rack, closet, bed is high enough to put your suitcases out of the way, there is a mirror and small shelf to act as an extra mini vanity.

Meet The Host
Cindy
Owner
My husband Paul and I own and stay here frequently and have a local cohost as well. Paul and I were both raised overseas and continued traveling for work and adventure as adults before meeting late in life to adventure together. In the U.S. we most often travel with our pets. Though we live in Virginia, the Toledo area has become another home since one, or both, of us frequently comes out to help a friend that, tragically, ended up in a full care nursing home in the Toledo area in 2016. It just made sense to find a place of our own for when we come out. Thankfully, we have other friends nearby in Michigan and now, with a home, neighbors that are friend's as well. When we decided that a vacant house when we weren't there was not a good idea, we settled on short term renting. But, we weren't comfortable without having people we know be available to guests locally. So, we reached out to an Airbnb host we had stayed with several times and he was really supportive. Now, he is our cohost. We love our little place, we love the neighborhood and have been exploring more and more of the area, discovering so much. Whatever brings guests to our place, we truly hope they enjoy and discover the area, and, most of all, that they feel welcome and at home.

Location
Directly along the Great American Flyway, perfect base for "the greatest week in American birding."
Getting around
Our street in Point Place is a primary street connecting two other primary streets, so it is really easy to orient yourself quickly and be able to get to nearby parks and restaurants in under 10 minutes. Parking at businesses is pretty easy and free almost everywhere in Toledo, and that includes Point Place.
Toledo itself is surprisingly easy to get around traffic wise and getting anywhere from Point Place is quick. If you have lived in any congested large metro area you will be pleasantly surprised. At least that is how it is for us.

Mowers are scheduled for every Tuesday or Wednesday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. It takes them about 20 minutes in total. They will only knock if there are pets in the yard unsupervised and will ask that they be brought in.
