    It's that time again! Time to start thinking about a summer vacation at Put-in-Bay, located on beautiful South Bass Island. The island, one of the many shelf islands located in western Lake Erie is a pristine, fun-filled island with lots of exciting entertainment, great sailing, fun wineries, superb restaurants and many great tourist attractions such as Perry's Monument (3rd tallest in the world), caves, shops, tours and fishing. "House in the Woods" is again available this year for short-term rentals. We were booked up early last year, so please contact us soon to reserve the dates you want.

    This 3-bedroom, 2-bath, Cape Cod-style house is in a wooded, secluded location -- under a green canopy of some of the largest trees on the island. Yet it is very close to town -- only 15 minutes by foot and 5 minutes by bicycle (an enjoyable walk or ride, because it is almost entirely along the bayfront). The house is at 621 New Colony Road (which is actually a private lane), over toward the West Shore, and close to the harbor, although it does not have a harbor view.

    It sleeps eight people very comfortably, and we do limit the occupancy to eight. There are ceiling fans and window fans, and the forest keeps the place nice and cool even on the hottest days in the summer.

    On the first floor are a complete, all-electric kitchen with range and refrigerator, coffemaker, microwave, and a washing maching & dryer (no garbage disposal or automatic dishwasher); living room; a large bedroom and smaller bedroom; and a full bath with tub/shower. (The large bedroom has two set of bunkbeds, and the smaller bedroom has a double bed.)

    On the second floor is a large room with two twin beds, and bathroom with shower.

    We've put in new living room furniture and added three decks.
