My family cottage is located in Conneaut Ohio and currently so am I. I am writing this from the Conneaut Public Library. Conneaut is the most northeastern city in Ohio. If you go north you're in Lake Erie and if you go East you're in Pennsylvania.
The cottage sits on a bank with a wonderful view of Lake Erie. My grandfather bought the cottage in the late 40s after the previous family cottage went over the bank. It has been in my family ever since and over the last 6-7 years I am the only member of my family to use it.
Over the years the cottage fell into a tragic state as a water damage and a disreputibable repairman caused tremendous damage. But it's slowly being improved on and made into a wonderful place to escape to.
(Why someone painted the front porch white and the rest green I have no idea, I was living in Los Angeles then.)
