Any season of the year, ever-changing Lake Erie provides the entertainment while your make memories in this charming cottage.
Because we love spending time here, we have completely remodeled this historic cottage adding all the comforts of home. Past guests tell us that the clean, comfortable house and proximity of the lake exceed their expectations. The panoramic views of Lake Erie from the kitchen, living room and dining room are amazing. Upstairs are 3 private bedrooms with original hardwood floors and an updated full bathroom.
The lakefront deck and large yard invite guests outside and a fire ring is located at the water's edge. Every season brings different birds including bald eagles, purple martins, cranes and ducks. You can fish or swim from the property using large stepping stones or a set of stairs leading into the water. Meticulously maintained and cleaned by the owners, the house is nicely furnished with special attention to bedding, linens, bath and kitchen so you feel right at home. We rent to other home owners who are non-smokers over 25 years old and who agree to respect the home as if it was their own. We want others to enjoy Lake Erie when we cannot be here.
Located on a private lane with more barefoot vacationers than cars. Sandy beaches are everywhere, including a state nature preserve beach within walking distance and a mile-long public sandy beach 2 miles away. Explore many other nearby Lake Erie beaches using the State of Ohio guide to beaches. Budget Travel rated Huron, Ohio one of America's Coolest Small Towns in 2015. Conveniently located one hour from Cleveland and 20 minutes from Cedar Point and Marblehead. Call us at 614-837-0438 for our best rates and for help planing your vacation.

About Karen
The owners met here in Hartley Beach and have been married ever since. Now living in Columbus with jobs that keep us much too far from Lake Erie, we love spending our free time here.
Karen purchased this cottage in 2003
Why Karen chose Ohio
We chose to buy this cottage because of our family and great neighbors who live on this private lane of a dozen houses.
What makes this cottage unique
It is truly special to find the friendly vacation atmosphere that this neighborhood has. Lake Erie is a powerful attraction that you have to experience to understand. Year round, this is our idea of a get away!
Guestbook comments from the owner
As soon as we stepped in, a big smile came over my mother's face. She was visiting from Saudi Arabia and I wanted to show her the relaxing side of the USA. This house is very relaxing and HOMEY, it was way more than I expected. My mother wanted to stay longer and we will be back.

Reviews
VRBO Bear stayed here
Aug 27, 2003This Lake Erie cottage is in a super location for anyone who is vacationing in northern Ohio. The cottage sits peacefully on the shore of Lake Erie and is located just off of Highway 6. It is just a few miles from Cedar Point, home to the biggest collection of super coasters in the USA! If roller coasters are not your thing, then don't worry, you have Lake Erie right in your own backyard. If you are into Summer fun, just rent a boat or jet ski and hit the water for some cool fun. This vacation cottage has plenty of room for a little bear and his travelling buddies. All three of us had a bedroom of our own and there was even an extra bed in the loft. We had a full kitchen to cook up a meal for a hungry bear, and a dining room that looked out over the lake. What a beautiful view!!! At night we enjoyed the sound of the waves hitting against the shore as well as "kicking back" in front of the TV and watching a movie. The comfortable living room had a fireplace and was equipped with a television and DVD-VCR player. Our hosts made us feel right at home. They were there to greet us when we arrived and even brought us fresh peaches (which a bear really loves) and several ears of corn, fresh out of the garden. We've never gotten that kind of service from the Holiday Inn. So whether you want a quiet relaxing place to escape to, or a fun filled adventure, it's all right here on Ohio's north coast. You can fish the week away, play golf, boat, ski, or head down the highway to Cleveland and take in an Indians baseball game, or visit my favorite, the "Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame." It is all conveniently located near Huron, Ohio and this "Vacationland" cottage. Signed, VRBO Bear
Exceptional!

Superb view! Didn't want to leave!
Oh my....this was the most awesome place right on the water! You can see nothing but water from the kitchen/dining room! And who doesn't love an amazing sunset! The house was great too! Nice updated kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Overall a very inviting atmosphere! The owners were great to work with and very accommodating. Nothing but nice things to say about this rental.
Hartley Beach House Amazing Location
This was a very clean and comfortable property. I researched many properties before I decided on this one and we were very happy with our choice.
The care of the property that Karen and her husband Mark have in their home has earned a five star rating.
There is a million dollar view from the deck as well as from the inside of the cottage. New windows and updating made our stay extra nice.
The kitchen is very easy to cook in and is open to the first floor rooms and the gorgeous view.
Everyone felt comfortable with the sleeping arrangements as well. Plenty of room with good bedding.
The owners were generous in working out an arrangement with us as well which made our stay very pleasant.
If you want an adventure or are purely interested in relaxing this may be the place for you....
Relaxing trip
This was our first trip to the Huron area. We loved the location of this place. We spent 5 days here doing a whole lot of nothing (except for watching rare birds in the back yard on Lake Erie, hiking at Old Woman's Creek, eating at amazing places like Berardi's, sitting harbor side in Huron while a ship came in, watching the sunset on the beach in Vermilion, taking the ferry to Kelly's Island, visiting the Marblehead lighthouse, and just sitting on the back deck relaxing). We weren't even done with our trip and we were looking on VRBO and planning on when we could get back to this place.
As for the house itself, it was very clean and cozy with the personality of a 100 year old house. There were lots of beautiful flowers that we just loved looking at when we could take our eyes off of the view of the lake! Bottom line, I would highly recommend this house to others!
AMAZING!!!
We stayed for a long weekend April 29-May 1, 2016. The house was amazing! So clean and had all the amenities and features you could want. The owners were amazing to work with and the view and deck were incredible!
Fantastuc
We have stayed here over ten times now over several years we try to come once in early summer and up once in the Fall. Beautiful views, immaculate and stocked with all you need to have a wonderful vacation. Tons to do in the area. Great food for take out near by. The deck is where we camp out to watch the bald eagles fly overhead. The Rossi's are wonderful people to deal with!!! We stayed at 3 other places in Lake Erie before we found this gem and now this is "our" place.
WOW! What a beautiful spot and so cozy
We stayed for 5 days with small children and my mother who has mobility issues, but this cottage lived up to the photos and so much more! First of all, this could not be a more comfortable place to rest your head. The Rossi's obviously love it here and stay often, because it has all the comforts of home and was spotlessly clean. I could go on forever about how lovely the beds and linens were too! We liked being so near the beaches and shopping in Sandusky and Vermillion too. The best part? This cottage sits at the mouth of Old Woman's Creek Estuary, so it's literally like a 24/7 wildlife channel in your back yard. We saw juvenile bald eagles, egrets, hurons, hawks and the wonderful variety of local songbirds that are attracted by their martin houses. We loved it here and so will you. On a side, but important note...the Rossi's were so quick to respond and so easy to work with. Karen's parents live down the way and were so friendly. There is another cottage down the street they own, so if you're looking for a family reunion spot, this would work great!
