About this property
The Front House by the Lake
Soak up the Lake Erie breezes, sunsets, and seasonal lighthouse views in our quiet, secluded neighborhood within walking distance from Lakeview Park & Beach, Lorain's Downtown Broadway, and Black River Landing, and only 30mi to either Cleveland or Cedar Point. Sip your complimentary morning coffee on one of the two porches overlooking the water, then be sure to check out everything the North Coast has to offer while you're here. Pets are OK with additional fees and pre-approval. Welcome aboard!
This brand new, fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath house allows guests to venture to all the local hot spots before settling back into the relaxation and peace that this whole house with off-street parking offers.
Catch a sunset over Lake Erie from the front porch or the comfort of one of the sofas in the living room while cozying up with the glow or warmth from the electric fireplace. The additional cushy sectional can also keep the sights coming with views of the harbor and beach directly across the street.
The first-floor queen bedroom offers seasonal views of Lorain Lighthouse, and the room is adjacent to the living room with easy access to the first-floor full bath with a deep soaking tub and the fully stocked eat-in kitchen complete with a dishwasher.
Upstairs boasts a large king bedroom with lake, harbor, and beach views, including another seasonal view of Lorain Lighthouse. This room also has a twin daybed across from the closet for any overflow of guests or just be another place to sit and relax!
The second-floor queen bedroom is directly up the stairs and has a designated workspace with a desk and chair where you can wirelessly connect to the whole house's high-speed WiFi for work or play.
Continuing through the game room leads to the full upstairs bathroom with the house's bath linens and a shelf full of things you may have forgotten at home. There is a closet in the game room with a full-sized washer and dryer.
There is a propane gas grill on the property and beach towels for your day on the water. Bikes, kayaks, and beach gear are also available to rent nearby.

We enjoyed our short stay at this very clean and conveniently located property! Plenty of space for our family of 4 to spread out. The hosts were very responsive and thoughtful. Would love to stay here again next time we are in Lorain!
The host was responsive and answered all of our questions quickly. The property is in a great location and lots of room to spread out and have fun while visiting with family.
Excellent home, exceptionally clean, and Patrick and Brooke were very accommodating hosts. Easy check in process, great location (adjacent park on Lake Erie is really nice). Would stay here again without hesitation!

The Front House was perfect! It has a great location, not far from grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants and shopping. The house was spacious & clean. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. Communication was excellent as well!
Such a beautiful home and perfect location. Great communication with host as well. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home! : )
House was clean and well stocked. The area was lovely, and there was a lot to do in the surrounding areas as well. We loved having the beach so close by.
The front house is a spacious and really well appointed property and we had a lovely stay here. Everything was perfect from communication, comfort, through to the extra little touches such as a cake for the solar eclipse etc. Location across from the lake and near the park/beach is really nice.

Great location to lake and short walk to beach. Restaurants and excursions within the area, Cedar Point, Kalahari and Zip Line within 30 minutes. Hosts had goodies for us when we arrived and provided details on events occurring in the area during our stay. Will stay here again.
We enjoyed this home very much. Patrick was a very attentive host and responsive to messages. We enjoyed the house’s proximity to Lake Erie. The house had very nice kitchen, bathroom, and laundry facilities. We will definitely come back!
We had the most relaxing time at this home. The beds were all super comfortable! Also, the shower never got cold even after 3 very long showers. We loved that, especially with a bigger group. Excellent location, friendly hosts who made every effort to make our stay impeccable. The house was so clean with everything we needed and more. Thank you!!!!
