About this property

Waterfront 2-bedroom Cabin in Celina with WiFi, AC & Seasonal Fishing Pier

Your cozy cabin retreat awaits in Celina, Ohio. Our lake side home is perfect for romantic getaways, small families or friends that really like each other! This 2-bedroom home features a queen bed, twin bed, and a full bed, ensuring a comfortable stay for all guests. With amenities including an equipped kitchen, AC, heat, Wi-Fi, and a washer/dryer, your stay will be stress-free. Relax in this marvelous, 104-year-old lake side cabin after a day of exploring the area or fishing. You're sure to make fantastic memories with a stay here at Al's Place!

As we get closer to fall each day, please know that we will be pulling the dock by the end of September to avoid bitter cold-water temperatures in October. You can still fish off the rocks on shore, but winter prohibits us from having the dock year-round.

This is a new home for us, and while it is still in the process of being updated, it is a charming, little, old home with a unique floor plan right on the lake today. I hope you have a wonderful getaway in our lakeside town during your stay with us.

Everything was great, we were at Eldora Speedway most of the time but the cabin was clean and cozy! For us it was way better than staying in a motel room like we did the previous year. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to stay. We will most likely be back next year.

Came for my husband’s birthday. He was able to catch a few fish, which was the goal. We very much enjoyed the peace of the water and a nightly fire, which we can’t do at our home. The lake is so large, we felt like we were at the ocean. Pelicans in Ohio!?!?! They were fun to see. Also had a few bald eagle sightings. I let the typewriter get some fresh air and spent some time in writer’s retreat. The cabin was perfect. The host couldn’t have made the experience any better—it was a delightful time! Thank you!

We were looking for a relaxing getaway and this place was perfect! The house was small and cozy but you didn’t feel cramped. Despite the very few “quirks” of a 104 year old house, it was wonderfully updated and comfortable, as well as, nicely decorated and very clean. Bren had the house stocked with everything you would need to keep occupied including books, games, puzzles, etc. The back deck/dock was absolutely perfect and the views were amazing! The weather was perfect for our stay so the house was comfortable the entire time. Bren was an attentive host and left us cookies upon our arrival as well as coffee and creamer for us to enjoy. She even left a “cookie” for our dachshund, Roxie. We will definitely return

This is a very compact lake cottage. Every thing was clean and beautifully done. I don't think that I have ever stayed in a rental that was as well supplied and nicely furnished as this one. The kitchen and bathroom had everything you would need and a few surprise gifts like cookies, popcicles, and coffee. The outdoor experience was just to our liking and the lake was lovely. Highly recommend.

Absolutely perfect for my wife and I. We wanted a waterfront spot to be able to relax and reset from our busy life. We were able to do just that. We sat on the back deck next to the fire pit for HOURS just enjoying the view together.The house was an older house but very much clean and tidy. The house was very stocked for many things in the kitchen to use for cooking, this was a plus for us as we decided to cook there and eat with our own waterfront dining.We very much enjoyed our stay and will most definitely be returning. Bren was a great host and was very much available for any and all questions! We honestly didn’t know just how good this place was going to be until we got there. Love love loved it!

Family time on Lake St Mary’s

We had a great stay even with temperatures in the 90’s. Our grandkids did some fishing off the dock and we caught 4 species. Bluegill, perch, catfish , and carp. They had a blast. We had other family with boats and they could dock at the cottage and visit. We had a cook out and the deck was good for a gathering of family. Bren was an outstanding host. Cottage is an excellent value for a family trip

Weekend lake getaway

It was everything we eere hoping for. Quiet, cozy and a very relaxing atmosphere. The only drawback was the bed. Although it seemed to be a newer bed, it was extremely firm. Too firm for my back.we would like to come back again; but we will bring a mattress pad.

Serene, scenic and special

The property was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds and the thoughtful touches like the birthday bunt cakes, coffee and creamer to get us started and firewood for our first night. The view is absolutely stunning and peaceful!!This host (Bren) went above and beyond for real! I have stayed at Vrbos many many times and she was the most informative the most helpful and ready to make your experience the best it can possibly be of anywhere I have stayed. She is truly part of what makes the stay so personable. I cannot say enough good about this place even right down to seeing an eagle while sitting on the back deck!! If you are looking for a place filled with beauty and peace, while being fully stocked with everything you could possibly need this, is it.
