We had a great week at Lakeside. The house was very nice. We encountered a couple hiccups at first but the owners were great to work with. House is well furnished and met all our needs. We are looking forward to renting this house again next year
The front bathrooms were filthy and the nails sticking out from the missing woodwork were a little disturbing. The rest of the house was nice and roomy.

Thank you for letting me know about the bathrooms. Please let me know at check-in so that I can resolve any problem. My cleaning crew has been with me for three years and has always done a fabulous job.
We absolutely love this property it feels like coming home.
The owners are lovely and we love this property. Every year they have improved something like new carpeting or flooring. Location is wonderful. Very roomy and spacious.
The best part was the amount of activities available for the grandchildren, in addition to the pool. Rented a golf cart and never had to use the car all week.
Comfortable cottage with lots of room for our family of 9, had all the kitchen utensils needed, with good cookware. Beds were very comfortable, and the added touches for the kids was a big hit.
I’ve stayed at another house, and there was no comparison. 2 full, and 2 half baths, huge gathering space in back, amazing enclosed front porch, and plenty room to sit and eat or play. The home was cozy, and roomy, which isn’t easy. It was so nice to have the lake walk so close, and the neighbors were so entertaining.
This was a comfortable cottage with everything we needed for a great week at Lakeside. We loved the front porch, and the indoor spaces. The owner's were easy to reach, and great to work with. The location is wonderful, just steps away from the lake and everything else that Lakeside offers. We would book this property again.
We love Lakeside! Location is wonderful as you are a few steps away from Lake Erie and the walking path. Only a few minutes walk to downtown. The cottage worked great for two families with six kids!
We were disappointed with cleanliness of floors, carpet & microwave. We also had a problem with ants in the kitchen. The owner responded quickly to my concerns. I’m guessing the cleaning crew did not do a great job prior to our check in. The two living rooms and front porch were wonderful!

About the host
Hosted by Lynn
I'm Lynn. We purchased this home recently, in 2017. We use it mainly ourselves, with our children and grandchildren, and rent it just a few weeks each summer. We think it is one of the nicest and most pleasant cottages in Lakeside.
Why they chose this property
One of Lakeside's best locations, very close to everything, including being just a few steps from the lake and waterfront walking trail. This is a large, clean home that easily handles a large group or multi-family, with multiple separate living areas, four bedrooms, and 4 full or half baths. The kitchen is large and the recently added larger and newer tables easily allow a large number of people to be served.
What makes this property unique
The cottage's large size and its proximity to the many Lakeside events, activities and amenities, and to the lake front.
