Cozy, Chef-Ready, and Family & Pet Friendly Retreat!

Cozy, Chef-Ready Retreat on Leavitt Road

Welcome to 3294 Leavitt Road, a beautiful fully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home designed for comfort and convenience. We've gone the extra mile to provide an experience that feels like a true home away from home, with amenities far beyond your standard rental.

Outdoor Enjoyment: Grill, Fire Pit, beautiful yard with lots of wildlife, and massive Trailer-Friendly Parking / Driveway
Step outside to enjoy our massive and pretty landscaped backyard!
It’s the perfect spot to relax, grill, eat, and play some outdoor games.
You'll find a grill and outdoor dining area for cookouts, plus a fantastic outdoor fire pit with seating for evening relaxation under the stars.

For those traveling with gear, we offer exceptional parking: guests have access to two private garages, and a massive driveway that is ideal for parking long trailers, boats, or RVs. Fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts will find this especially convenient!

Culinary Delight: The Chef's Kitchen:
If you love to cook, you'll adore our fully stocked chef's kitchen! Forget the sparse cabinets of a typical VRBO—ours is equipped as though it were our own home. You'll find everything you need, from a set of high quality knife and knife bar, food storage containers, new appliances (with air fryer function oven) and essential cooking tools to ample dishware and quality pots and pans. we also have a dual coffee machine (k cup and standard pot in one, and provide a complimentary set of K Cups (and cream and sugar) for your morning coffee. There is even a community pantry that guests can use or add to if desired!

The kitchen features a convenient pass-through window that connects directly to the upstairs living room. This design allows the chef to easily socialize, watch the 65-inch smart TV, or keep an eye on family games happening around the coffee table while chopping veggies and preparing meals.

Comfortable Sleeping & Stylish Baths:
This home comfortably sleeps a family or group with flexible arrangements:
Upstairs Bedrooms (2): Each room features a plush queen-sized bed, a dresser, and spacious closets for all your belongings.
Downstairs Bedroom (1): This room is perfect for kids or extra guests, offering a twin bed with an additional pull-out twin trundle bed, plus space for clothes. it also features a office desk and chair for taking calls or working remotely if needed.
Both of our two full bathrooms have been recently and stylishly renovated with new fixtures and finishes (just like the rest of the house!). Fresh linens and essential toiletries are provided.

Entertainment & Extra Space:
Need to spread out? We've got you covered:
Upstairs Living Room: The main gathering space boasts a large 65-inch smart TV and comfortable seating.
Downstairs Basement: A finished basement offers a great secondary spot for relaxing, complete with a cozy sectional couch and another flat screen TV.

Finally, there is a poker table / gaming table for family or friendly gaming (and many board games in the ottoman near the sofa!)


Rachel and I look forward to hosting you and yours soon!

Coming from the Lorain area in the 50’s and 60’s, I enjoyed the vibe of the retro carpentry. Easy to get to Amherst or Lorain. Also our deer visitors in the morning!

Overall our stay was good. The house was spacious and met our needs. I was unaware that it was on a main road so the traffic noise at times was annoying but not unbearable. We were also hoping to go on a walk but were unsure of the safety of the area as someone at a store told us not to walk on the nearby beach. Some general safety tips may be helpful. The beds were comfortable but super noisy if you move around in your sleep. I’d recommended having some extra blankets for the downstairs bedroom. We would stay there again as it’s very spacious, clean and meets our needs when traveling to the area. My kids enjoyed the card/poker table!

Family Getaway

Overall, the property was very nice. Everything was clean, a lot was provided, and it was decorated tastefully. The location of the property was a big plus for us - very convenient for all our planned activities. A couple of negatives… the bed in the blue bedroom was extremely uncomfortable. Also, a privacy fence would have been good to separate from the very close neighbors who do not keep up their property very well.
