About this property

Downtown Shopping and Events. Perfect for Holidays

This is a quaint home located within the historical Harbortown District. You'll find yourself within a 5 minute walk from the beautifully renovated Main Street Beach. Along your walk, you will come across our Art Gallery as well as local shopping and fine dining you will not find anywhere else.

Being a small town on a Great Lake, there are many things you can do on the water. Spend your day renting a kayak, paddleboats, a boat or jet skis. We offer tours along the Vermilion River learning about our history or rent a boat to enjoy a relaxing day of fishing.

Vermilion has a long history of rail fans and offers several spots to stop and enjoy the passing trains. One area is very close to our house, at Victory Park.

It is only a 20 minute drive into Sandusky where you’ll find Cedar Point, Kalahari and the newer addition Cedar Point Sports Park. It’s also only 20 minutes from downtown Oberlin and 45 minutes from downtown Cleveland.

This house provides two queen beds and a sleeper sofa; sleeping up to 6 individuals. There is one full bath and kitchen which is fully stocked with all of your cooking accessories if you choose to stay in for the night. All linens and towels are provided; as well as beach towels. Enjoy the front or back porch, both enclosed, for your morning coffee or enjoy a nice book. The backyard is spacious and offers plenty of room for your children to play or to enjoy an evening by the firepit with seating provided.

Come see all the many things to do in and around Vermilion year round.

Superbly maintained cute little home, perfect for one or two couples or a family of four. Very clean, immaculate. Location is perfect for getting to the lake, shopping and dining in town. All just a short walk ... 5 minutes or less. Highly recommended ... we hope to be back.

Lovely stay!

Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay at Lisa's house. It was clean, comfortable, and close to everything we needed. We walked to shops and restaurants in town and made the easy 20 min drive to Sandusky for softball and Cedar Point. We will happily stay here again. Thanks!

Quiet and Clean

This house was a great find! Only a few minutes walking distance from downtown. The house was very clean and provided additional items such as soap, shampoo, paper towels, and coffee which were not expected! The beds were comfortable, and it was a quiet/safe location. We would definitely rent again.

Great location!

This house is in a perfect location. Easy walk into town where there are shops and restaurants and close to the beach (although we were there in October). The house was super clean and had everything you would need. We did not use the kitchen but it was well stocked with plenty of cookware, etc. The coffee bar with fresh ground coffee from the local shop along with K cups was a nice touch and delicious. Owner was extremely helpful and easy to work with. We hope to stay there again next year.
