Wonderful spacious home!

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed all the extra amenities, games and Gar-Bar set up for kiddos and for all age groups! There were 12 of us, and we had plenty of space to spread out and so enjoyed our stay! Within walking distance of quaint little town, beach, ice cream shop and shopping places! Hope to be back again sometime!

Family friendly oasis in a quaint harbor town

“In Between Dreams Summer Getaway” was just that for our family. From walking to downtown and shopping in the boutique stores to eating at a variety of the local restaurants, our family is dreaming of a time we can come back to savor the summer again at the beaches, Cedar Point, Put-in-Bay and repeat all the relaxing vibes we enjoyed staying here. Kids of all ages will find something to do, even if it’s a rainy day. We found an oasis here in a comfy, family friendly fun space that fit our needs perfectly.

Great family spot

We stayed here to celebrate my son’s graduation from Oberlin. It was lovely to be walking distance to restaurants and the lake. We hosted several of his friends for brunch with our family under the pergola. Very clean, well equipped kitchen, and a first floor bedroom for my 87-year old mother-in-law who joined us at the last minute! Hosts were flexible to allow us to check out late after the graduation.

Spacious and close to town

Our stay was wonderful. We had all adults staying overnight with our grandchildren visiting. The kids loved all the various games, books and playground. There was some dog droppings we needed to clear out, but overall a great play area. The house was well equipped and plenty of sleeping spaces available. The number of bathrooms made it a challenge and the upstairs bathroom was not very private. Perhaps a door instead of a curtain? Overall experience was great and expectations were very well met. Thank you to our host who was very accommodating and responsive. We very much recommend this home and Vermilion!

Relaxed Stay in Vermilion

Marty and his wife are very welcoming and gracious hosts. They even let us check in a little early when we arrived in Vermilion with tired and antsy children. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty to keep young and old alike entertained. Also, we arrived to find a courtesy starter pack of essentials that included coffee. The bedroom with the bunk beds includes a cubbyhole hideout that our older ones loved. The laundry room was one of my wife’s dreams come true. Five stars all the way.

Family vacation

We had a wonderful time at Marty and Bridget’s place. My husband and I and 2 adult kids stayed in the house. Our daughter, husband and 5 kids under 12 stayed nearby. They really enjoyed visiting our house and spent a lot of time there, so many kid activities, good for a rainy day too. The garage and yard are also spacious with games, a bar, fire pit, and nice fenced yard. The kitchen was well equipped along with the house. There was plenty of room for additional people. We enjoyed the nearby beach by the lighthouse. We spent a lot of time there as well with the grandkids. The downtown has fun shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the ice cream shop too. One of our grandsons caught a large mouth bass, that was exciting! We will be back. Great stay! Thank you

Lots of Entertainment!

The weather wasn’t great when we stayed, but there was plenty to do inside the house so we were never bored. Games are missing pieces and 2/3 arcade games didn’t work, but with everything else they had… we just moved on to the next game. The house came with everything we needed & then some. The thing we were most appreciative of is how cozy it was! The master bed and furniture throughout the house are the most comfortable we’ve had at any rental house over the years. The owners allowed us to bring both our dogs for an extra cleaning fee & it was 100% worth it. Our dogs had a blast & so did we!

The house is super cute. There are little areas for hanging out, playing games or reading. The backyard is perfect and would be a great place to play or hang out during the summer. Highly recommend!

Short stay in vermilion

The house was exactly as expected! Kitchen equipped with everything except a colander or maybe I just didn’t see it. We utilized the games in the garage except for ping pong. We used the sandbox, fire pit, and basketball hoop. We had plenty of warm water with good water pressure for 5 adults and 4 kids to bathe/shower. All of the beds were comfy as well. The place was clean with plenty of areas to spread out. There’s a nice selection of games and puzzles. We didn’t use the WI nor the karaoke but it was tempting. I’d definitely stay here again!

3 Generations on Week-long Vacaton

Depending on the day of the week, 8-12 of us stayed in this home, ranging in ages from 1 to north of 70. House is perfect for such groups, with multiple rooms of varying sizes, including very large 1st floor bathroom with laundry (both in use througout the week). Very large kitchen with very nice appliances, including a large refrigerator, easily accomodated a number of meals throughout the week. A short 5-minute drive or 10-15 minute walk into the heart of downtown Vermilion, which puts you two blocks from the beach and Lake. Everyone had a great time enjoying every bit of the house, including multiple arcade games inside the house and numerous, "more active" games in the garage (e.g. foosball, air hockey, ping pong, etc.) Home was nicely furnished with towels (for bathing and the beach), and initial "paper" needs. The owners were excellent to work with prior to, and during our stay, including checking in to ensure we were ok when thunderstorms, tornados, and retultant wide-spread power outages swept across nornther Ohio (Vermilion was not impacted as much as those west and east of town were). We are already planning our trip next year and hope to again stay at this house when doing so.

Best BnB EVER!!!

We had a group of 8, which included a 15 year old and a 5mos old and we had a FABULOUS STAY!!! There’s so much room to spread out and relax and the baby always had a quiet place to rest even with a house full of people. They have a spotless home, super clean and stocked with all of the essentials. The temps outside in Vermillion were ridiculously hot but we were nice and cool- upstairs and down. It was a quick 10 minute leisurely walk to all the wonderful downtown shops, boutiques & restaurants and even the beach. We really enjoyed playing board games each evening and watching movies! Having 2 full bathrooms was a huge plus and it was great having the washer and dryer. The backyard was also a relaxing place to hang out. This house is just so perfect for large groups and we can’t wait to stay again next year!!!

Great stay over July 4th!

We stayed here in vermilion for the first time with some extended family. Short walk to the beach and downtown. We LOVED the fenced in yard and play set for the kids as well as all the extra games and things in the garage. The house was great to accommodate all of us and plenty of space to spread out.

Dreamy little getaway

I absolutely loved this lovely home away from home! The owners were extremely responsive and answered any questions we had. The whole space was set up for family time together. From the fire pit and pergola out back to the library and game room, there was so much to entertain. It was perfect for our large group of 11. The beach and downtown area are a short walk away. A great time was had by all! Thank you for a dreamy, little getaway.

Family lake house

We rented the house to watch the eclipse. It felt much homier than other properties we have stayed at. Clean and short walk to the cute down town and lake. The only thing I would note if you have a large group the fact that the upstairs bathroom is only separated from the master by a curtain makes sharing said bathroom tricky especially at night.

Wonderful Getaway Home with all of the amenities

This is our 2nd time at this property due to location and amenities for my 6 and 15 year old. We even changed our vacation dates to get this property for our stay. Highly recommend it especially with kids. Video games, swing set, air hockey, basketball, bikes not to mention everything you need for your stay in the kitchen.
