Location: Vermilion, Ohio, USA (Cedar Point, Cleveland Clinic, Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame,) View Map
Accommodations: Cabin, 3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)
Keywords: Lovely Cabin/House
We have a very lovely, three-bedroom lakefront house that is available to rent in Vermilion, Ohio. The interior is all knotty pine with a fireplace, very large master bedroom, two smaller bedrooms, large sun porch, kitchen, living room (with pull-out couch)/dining room and bath. It is charming, cozy and immaculate.
The large, private backyard abuts Lake Erie, and provides you with a break-front/patio at the lake that is perfect for fishing, swimming or just “sitting” by the water. There is a large park for the kids a short walk/bike ride down the street (and almost across from the Mayor’s house), and a large, private backyard with hammocks, swings and benches to watch the truly great sunsets and sunrises over Lake Erie. Take a snooze on the sun porch and catch the afternoon trade winds, or open the windows at night and catch the wind and noise of the waves.
Conveniently located, it is 20 minutes from Cedar Point and the many Sandusky water parks (Kalahari, Great Wolf Lodge, Castaway Bay), 30 minutes to the ferry for the Lake Erie Islands and wineries, 20 minutes to historic Milan/Norwalk Ohio (home of Thomas Edison), and 30 minutes to Cleveland’s Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, the Science Museum, Cleveland Indians, Browns, and Cavaliers, and the world famous Cleveland Orchestra, and Art and History museums. There is fine shopping, restaurants, boat rentals and the quaint City of Vermilion (complete with ice cream shoppe, naval museum, wonderful beaches and a 5 star French restaurant on the water) to visit.
So spend a day at Cedar Point, and come home to the quiet of the Lake for dinner and an evening of relaxing at the water. Go fishing in the morning, and then head into Milan in the afternoon for a taste of history. Head off for a day at the water parks and come home to a home cooked meal on the grill. Spend a day at the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame and visit the many sites of Cleveland (USS Mather, the USS Cod submarine, the many nightclubs in the Flats by the Cuyahoga River, the Science Museum, or catch an Indians game) (Cleveland really is a great city) and come home to a night of catching fireflies in the backyard, or a trip into Vermilion for ice cream or just a peaceful sunset at the water. The combinations and possibilities are endless.
Our house offers you days of quiet by the water with the fun and excitement of day trips to the many sites in Vermilion, Sandusky, Huron, Milan, Norwalk, and Cleveland, as well as the Lake Erie Islands. You will have a vacation to remember for always.
FAMILY GATHERINGS
Also available - a large one bedroom mirror image house that is located next door (It is a duplex) which is great for family gatherings/reunions. If you would like to rent both units the price is $1700. For the large single bedroom side (we took down the wall between the two smaller bedrooms) go to the VRBO separate listing #261126 for specific information and pictures. Both sides are both beautiful - mirror images - but for the bedrooms. (Each side has its own yard area - it is a large yard). It is a great deal for a family vacation to remember always.
Our house is also about 40 minutes from the Cleveland Clinic - and is also a perfect, peaceful place for family members or for the patient' s peaceful recuperation.
REMEMBER - THIS CALENDAR ONLY APPLIES TO THE 3 BEDROOM UNIT. Please go to VRBO listing #261126 for information and pictures for the one bedroom side and its calendar.

A Wonderful Place to Vacation
Guest: Bob
(Milford, MI)
Date of Stay: 10/22/11
Review Submitted: 11/23/11
What a great time we had, and what a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended, and will definitely come back again. Had some nice, cozy fires in the fireplace, enjoyed the scenery over the lake, and really enjoyed the enclosed porch with a nice view of the lake, and even some freighters. Saw an eagle one morning. The master bedroom is absolutely gorgeous, and the kitchen is loaded with everything you might need. A large TV, great WiFi, and plenty of board games and books kept us happily occupied. The owners, Kate and Don, are most gracious and helpful, and the neighbors on both sides are just as nice. We certainly appreciated being able to bring our small dog along, and she enjoyed it as well as we did. The Vermillion Farm Market nearby, has some really nice meat and unusual items. A nice place to get your groceries. The neighborhood store has beer at much cheaper prices than Michigan, and the staff and owner are very cordial. A lot of nice restaurants nearby. We had a great time !

This house accedes all expectations. It is full of character and warmth with absolutely everything provided and more. WIFI worked beautifully for us which often has been an issue for us in other areas. Kate has thought of everything you might possibly need or want, including reading materials and all kinds of board games, etc.. We loved the peacefulness of this setting...the beautiful view of Lake Erie. I do not believe you could possibly be disappointed. We can't wait to visit again! Thank you to both Kate and Don for graciously allowing us the opportunity to spend a much needed and relaxing few days in your delightful home.

Quilters' get-away
Guest: Amy
(Delaware, Ohio)
Date of Stay: 05/02/11
Review Submitted: 05/18/11
We spent 4 days at the home and had a wonderful visit. Getting away to quilt, to shop for more fabric and try some new restaurants were on our agenda and every activity was possible. The home is very inviting and we enjoyed the sunporch for seeing the lake as the weather was not the best. We appreciated the breakfast foods that were left for us. The three of us agreed that we would enjoy quilting on the lake shore again.

Great getaway - no matter the weather!
Guest: Marge

Review Submitted: 05/02/11
We spent a (mostly) rainy weekend and despite the weather we had a great time. The house is ever so comfortable with all you need - from the kitchen to the stack of games and magazines. The backyard is set up for watching sunsets and just kicking back. The description truly does not do this place justice - it is so much more. We were in town for a function at Oberlin but would love to come back and take in more of Vermillion - it looks like it would be a lot of fun to explore. (but I could also just come back to sit in the backyard and enjoy the view) My husband and I highly recommend this rental.

A little slice of heaven
Guest: Debbie (Cleveland, OH)
(Northwest Ohio)
Date of Stay: 05/28/10
Review Submitted: 05/02/11
Debbie (from Northwest Ohio) We had such a wonderful weekend at this lovely little lake house! Even though the weather wasn't perfect, the visit was. The view of the lake is awesome and the house is totally inviting. The walls seemed to speak their own language of welcome when we walked in. Also, we were blown away by the fact that breakfast items were left for us in the refrigerator. That was so thoughtful. The house is very sweetly decorated and so comfortable. We had enough sunshine to sit outside for an hour on Fri. and Sat. evenings to hear the waves lapping up onto the shore, but when it was too cool, sitting on the charming porch was the closest thing to being outside. It was a wonderful way to relax and sooth the soul! We will be back!

A Cozy Get-A-Way
Guest: Emily

Date of Stay: 04/04/11
Review Submitted: 04/08/11
My family and I had a very nice time in this property this week; the owners were very accommodating, providing assorted breakfast foods and a highchair for our child. While the weather wasn't great, it was pretty normal for Ohio in early April. We did have one nice day, when we were able to enjoy the lake sunset, which was beautiful. And on the other days, there was plenty to do to keep us busy and allow us to spend time together, whether it was just hanging out at "home," heading to Kalahari's indoor waterpark, or taking in the IX indoor amusement park. We did even venture out to Kelley's Island via the ferry, though this would have been more fun on a sunnier/warmer day!! All in all, the cottage was very nice, met all our needs, and was as described. Thanks to Don and Kate! We look forward to enjoying the property again someday during a warmer season!

My husband and I enjoyed 2 lovely nights at this cottage in late October. The amenities were perfect for our needs and the location overlooking the lake was gorgeous. We're thinking of making another trip from Columbus this spring.

A Really Good Week
Guest: Mary
(Kentucky)
Date of Stay: 09/11/10
Review Submitted: 10/01/10
My husband and I spent a week at the Fenners' cottage in September. Kate paid close attention to providing amenities that made our trip very pleasant...breakfast goodies, plush towels and bed linens, a mini-library of games, puzzles, and reading materials, flat-screen TV's, and even Wi-Fi. The cottage is located in a quiet area with great lake views from the master BR, sunporch, and backyard. The downtown section of Vermilion is quaint with a picturesque harbor. It is located about mid-way between Cleveland and the Lake Erie islands, so sight-seeing travel is easy along the lakeshore. This was our first trip to the northern Ohio/Lake Erie area, and, thanks to the Fenners, we will always remember our visit as a really good week!

A Great Place to Stay

Review Submitted: 09/15/10
Kate and family did everything to make our stay an excellent experience. We arrived on a Saturday and found everything we needed for Sunday breakfast in the cottage. The house is beautiful and clean, and our miniature schnauzer was very content in the backyard, although he refrained from jumping into the lake with our 11 year old. We'll be back!

We found this home to be as advertised. It is very clean, comfortable, well furnished and well maintained. It is in a very quiet and relaxing setting. It has a great view of the lake from the backyard. The Fenners (owners) were very accomodating to our last minute plans. We would definitely stay there again.
