Maumee river & Metroparks are here!

We loved our stay at Uncle Chuck's Cabin! The amazing waterfront property does not disappoint! The cabin was great and very well appointed. We enjoyed being so close to the tow path trail and hiking to the nearby metroparks. Chuck was just the sweetest and made sure to leave no some unturned when showing us around the property!

We had a great time, very peaceful and private. Chuck and his wife were very kind. We had a blast fishing, better than we expected! We didn’t even want to leave this morning! We caught 4 fish in 1 hour 45 mins before we left. 3 drums and a baby cat. Yesterday evening 2 large cat fish 3 lbs and 5 pounds, along with another drum. A lot of things are provided for you which is amazing. We brought everything we needed because we were unsure what was there, we forgot a couple of things but Chuck had them handy, like tongs and an oven mitt. You can get by while staying here with just clothes, fishing poles and food. It’s set up like you were visiting your parent’s cabin, it’s a nice and convenient stay! We couldn’t use the boat because the water was choppy but I would have LOVED to be out there and it would’ve made it even better. I’m already trying to figure out when to come back when weather is better!

Great location on the water with nothing but privacy with no one around. Cabin was awesome for someone who loves the rustic trip with no running water and little electricity. Easy and quick introduction before settling in.

Amazing!!!

Maumee river & Metroparks are here!

This cabin was amazing! It's tied for first place for my favorite cabins. It is very clean, private, has an excellent view, and great amenities. The price is very competitive. Chuck and Anya were very nice and accommodating. It was cold out, the stove kept the cabin cozy with the provided firewood. I'm very short and the provided footstool made accessing the loft steps easy. Would stay here again.
