I enjoyed this beautiful home last February, so wanted to take my Grandkids to enjoy. We had a great visit. Unfortunately the pool wasn't open too cold. Also wascshocked about a 256.00 Gate fee as in February no fee. I felt like the amount should of been disclosed. I would rent this home again, as its a beautiful place & owner was always in touch when I asked him ?? LOVED IT, HOPEFULLY NEXT VISIT WILL ENJOY THE POOL TOO!!

Relaxing Lakeside Getaway

This cottage was the perfect place to stay for a short getaway to celebrate my parents’ anniversary. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. It is walkable to Lake Erie, where a beautifully landscaped path added to the peaceful stroll and amazing views. Short drive to Kelley’s Island ferry and Marblehead Lighthouse. We would definitely book again in the future!

Perfect layout for family in perfect location

Wonderful stay in this lovely cottage! Impressively clean, with very thoughtful touches throughout. The layout was also perfect for my kids (early risers) to sleep in bedrooms set apart from my husband (who is a light, late sleeper). The sunroom made for a great gathering place for me and kids (7 and 4) while my husband worked on his laptop from the other side of the cottage. WiFi was strong from the desk/living room and allowed my husband to take video meetings. Bathrooms organized with spare toiletries to use in a pinch, which was so kind! I made meals in the well appointed kitchen, efficient layout and lots of countertop surface for meal prep and stashing snacks. Excellent, perfectly central location within Lakeside! Highly recommend for family of 4!

This house is perfect. Clean. Homey. Comfortable beds. The sun room is lovely. Perfect location. We’ve stayed in several cottages and houses in Lakeside over the years and this is #1. It’s on our return list. Thanks to the owners for sharing this house with others.

Lovely

Well maintained property with a surprising amount of space. A wonderful gathering room for the whole family at night. And enough kitchen space and utensils if you like to cook. And I do. The Lakeside Chautauqua setting provides ample opportunity to walk and explore. A short drive to the picturesque Marblehead lighthouse. Neat place to be.

Quaint, clean, comfortable, nicely appointed with anything we could need

This cottage meet every hope and exceeded our expectations in many ways. We stayed from a Saturday afternoon through the following Saturday morning. It is VERY clean and the furniture is really comfortable. We chose to cook "in" 4 of our evenings; the kitchen has everything you could ever need and the natural gas grill was utilized and appreciated. One key to our enjoyment was the cottage's location,, location, location.......just a short stroll to Hoover, the lake itself, restaurants and all of the activities. Great value!
