About this property

Classic Lakeside Cottage, Prime Location-Across from Hoover Auditorium

This cottage at 317 Central is both humble (although it can sleep 10) and strategically located. It is right across the street from the Hoover Auditorium where nightly shows and entertainment are scheduled each summer. It is just 2 streets from the lake and Lakeside town center. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs all with double beds. (one of the bedrooms is a walk through from another). There is 1 bedroom downstairs with 2 twin beds and window AC unit. All the beds have new pillow top mattresses. To keep cool in the summer, all 4 upstairs bedrooms have window A/C, downstairs dining has a window A/C and there are 10 ceilings fans covering all bedrooms, kitchen, dining areas etc. Downstairs has a full bath newly renovated with a tub/shower. There is a 1/2 bath upstairs. The kitchen offers a full size refrigerator, electric range, microwave, toaster, coffee pot as well as lots of cooking / eating ware and plenty of storage space in the pantry. Adding to the "family experience" at this cottage is a dinning room table that can seat 8, a living room that is complete with 2 sofa's, a lazy chair and 45" flat screen TV w/cable and free wifi. In addition 1 upstairs bedroom has a 35" flat screen TV.

To make you and your family feel comfortable in this summer cottage home - there are many shelves that are overflowing with children's books, and family games. The back yard includes a large brick patio with a table / umbrella and several sets of chairs and shade under a large hickory tree to escape the hot summer sun at Lakeside. The backyard has a barn that contains a charcoal grill, sandbox toys for the beach and other yard games for your family to enjoy. We also have a propane 2 burner grill.

In the front of this traditional Lakeside cottage you will find a full size open porch with a large awning to keep the sun out, plus comfortable glider and 3 rocking chairs. There is driveway parking for 1 large car or 2 smaller cars. The theme of this cottage is to provide a home that is comfortable, fun and very accessible to all locations. You can sit on the front porch and enjoy the sights and sounds of people, children, bicycles, dogs and golf carts that roll by from morning until evening. You can cook a nice family meal and eat at the dining table inside or have a picnic in the shady back yard. With only 1 block to walk you can quickly find Lakeside's Main Street commercial / social scenes, take in some recreation and the activity at the lakefront park - or you can stay at home and read books, play games or pop in a movie. Whatever you and your family might need, this Lakeside cottage has something to offer everyone during your stay. Bed sizes: 4 Doubles and 2 twins.
If you're looking to stay for minimum of 3 nights or during Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, inquire to owners.

Relaxing
Lakeside is just divine for a relaxing time! Kathy is a gracious hostess and excellent at communicating. The only feedback is it would be great if Lakeside had a better process for cars inside the night before a very early start, with the gates. Our family lives Lakeside that is a taste of life at a simpler pace!

Sentimental Journey
The cottage was very clean and well kept. The air conditioning was such a bonus for the hot, sticky days. And our favorite part of all is the location and the front porch. It's across the street to the auditorium and we got prime listening pleasure of the orchestra practicing. This place is charming and we'll be back.

The house was perfect! Very clean, very organized, and the comfiest beds I have ever slept in. We enjoyed the location of the cottage as it’s in a walkable distance to just about anything in Lakeside. We would definitely stay here again

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Scheerer

Host profile image
Being the middle child of 5 kids of Ray & Bonnie Scheerer, Mike grew up in Lakeside during the summer months of his youth. His mom and dad owned a house on Third Street and they would always go to Lakeside every summer. As a kid, he always enjoyed swimming and fishing on the pier, putt putt golf and playing basketball with other kids on the playground. It was at Lakeside the he first learned how to play shuffle board.
As Mike's childhood years slipped into his teens, and his summers were filled with sports camps, jobs to pay for gas for his car, he always found one week each summer to go back to Lakeside with his parents to enjoy the fun.
When Mike went to college to play football at Baldwin Wallace college, we met our sophomore year. We got married in 1980 and I was introduced to this special community called "The Little Chautauqua, Lakeside."
His parents sold the house on Third and bought our cottage at 317 Central. It was a wonderful upgrade for them as they had both worked so hard all their lives as a school teacher and a principal. As adult kids, we were so happy that Mom and Dad enjoyed their retired time together at Lakeside where Dad loved to sit on the front porch in a rocking chair and watch the many people walk by Hoover Auditorium on their way to the lake or Lakeside town center. While Dad was reading (or sleeping) on the front porch, Mom would love to bake pies, cookies and make homemade meals every day and night for her, Dad and any of the children and their friends who would join them. Mike began to help his parents take care of the Lakeside cottage here on Central. To Mike, it was not a chore, but a chance to pay back his Mom and Dad for all they had done for him and to continue to be involved in Lakeside. Mike soon found himself as the caretaker and maintenance guy.
Eventually we became the owners of this special cottage and continue the legacy of making sure our 3 adult children and 6 grandchildren get the same experience as Mike.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is centrally located across from Hoover Auditorium, which has entertainment every night during the summer. We are just 2 short blocks away from the shuffle board courts, center of town with the shops, Sloopy's pizza, ice cream, movie theatre, shopping, the pier, activites and the beautiful paved walking path along Lake Erie.
It truly is the perfect location for family members of all ages.

What makes this property unique

Whether you have been here before or it’s your first time, you soon will see why people keep coming back.
Our family, like the other families you might meet during your stay, return to this special place year after year. Our cottage is quaint, charming, and is what Lakeside represents. It allows you to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, forget about what you left at home, and just kick back and SLOW DOWN. If we could make a list to describe Lakeside, it would be:
• Tranquil
• Safe
• Calm
• Joyful
• Friendly
• Spiritual
• Family
• Love
• Historic
• Generational
• Fun
• Memories
• Honest
We hope you are able to unwind and take a break from your everyday routines. Enjoy a beautiful walk along the lake and notice the beauty of our lake view. Listen to the sounds of music playing at Hoover Auditorium. Sit on our front porch with a cup of tea or coffee and just watch the people walk by! Put your phone away and pick up a book, laugh or just take a nap.
There is so much to do but again, it's also a place to relax, stroll and go at your own pace.
So please enjoy our cottage. It is a century home. Lakeside has its own personality and uniqueness. That’s what is so charming. We continue to make yearly updates in our cottage, whether you can see them or not. Thank you if you are the group that continues to come back year after year. Welcome to the newcomers. We will continue to improve every year, but what is most important is that YOU ENJOY THE MOMENT. EMBRACE LAKESIDE.
