About this property

Amherst Family Guest House

One floor, no steps, open floor plan. Great location close proximity to I-90, turnpike, I-480, Lake Erie and State Parks. Situated on five acres of privacy but within minutes you have access to all restaurants, shopping, nightlife and activities. 1500 square feet guest house with capabilities to accommodate RV’s or any large transportation vehicles-easy driveways and turnaround. Huge covered patio overlooking the grounds. You will love the beauty and peacefulness that surrounds this property. The property is located halfway between Downtown Cleveland and Cedar Point. It is in Amherst Township, it's Elyria zip code for mailing purposes. Our property was acquired by my parents in 1980 and kept in the family for future generations to enjoy. With many hard years of work with family and friends, it became what it is today. We hope you will enjoy the beauty of the grounds and nostalgia it has to offer. It's an amazing and very safe location with quick access to all your heart desires.

This VRBO was immaculate and very welcoming. It was like coming home every time we came back from doing something. Everything from the towels to the kitchen utensils gets 5 stars from us. The location is convenient to things to do north, south, east and west. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Great property for fishing trips!

Parking worked out perfectly for having multiple boats. The washer and dryer in the building was a necessity on a rainy fishing weekend to get everything dry.

Fabulous VRBO and Hosts

Easily the best VRBO we've experienced, and we have a large sample. This place is a home away from home. Hosts provide everything and then some. We'll return and recommend it without reservation.

Black River Fishing Trip

Great place to stay for my family and friends for a weekend fishing trip on the Black River. The Amherst Family Guest House is a very clean comfortable home with plenty of room to spread out having all the comforts of home. We also had plenty of parking without backing them in for our three boats with more available. Also, the beds were very comfortable with a great shower after a long day on the water. We will be sure to use the Amherst Family Guest House again on our next trip to the Black River.
