About this property

HIDDEN GEM - COZY 1 BEDROOM LAKEFRONT HOME/COTTAGE


Our home is a very lovely, one bedroom lakefront cottage (it is a duplex) with an all knotty pine interior, fireplace, very large master bedroom, well stocked kitchen, large living room/dining room, and new bath.Charming, cozy and immaculate in a great lakeside neighborhood with neighborhood park and YMCA. Cozy in the winter and FABULOUS in the summer.

The large, private backyard and patio abuts Lake Erie. There is a large park a short walk/bike ride down the street, and a large, private backyard to watch the truly great sunsets, sunrises and sailboat races on Lake Erie.

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 Clinic, Cleveland Orchestra, and Art and History museums. (CLEVELAND IS FABULOUS !!!) There is fine shopping, FANCY restaurants, boat rentals and the quaint City of Vermilion (complete with ice cream Shoppe, wonderful beaches and a 5 star French restaurant on the water) to visit.

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 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.

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. IT IS A GORGEOUS, RECENTLY RENOVATED HOME THAT IS COZY!!! You will have a vacation to remember for always.

About the host

Host profile image

WE LOVE OUR HOUSE AND REALLY ENJOY OUR SUMMER RENTAL GUESTS.
Unfortunately - during the summer months (mid-May through mid-September) we can only rent on a weekly basis. (We need to save up for the winter mortgage :>))

For a get away stay - please come in spring or fall or winter. You'll love the place - promise!!

Why they chose this property

We purchased our lakefront home years ago. Recently we gutted large parts of the home, replaced kitchens and baths and added a second story. THE PLACE IS WONDERFUL. THE LOCATION IS WONDERFUL.

Our one bedroom side provides a wonderful cozy getaway opportunity in a breathtaking lakefront location, while being close to Cleveland, the Cleveland Clinic, the islands, Cedar Point, and all of the waterfront points of interest. Our home is lovely, cozy, and immaculate. The views are magnificent and the lakefront wonderful.

What makes this property unique

A PEACEFUL, BEAUTIFUL AND IMMACULATE LAKEFRONT RETREAT IN A CHARMING NEIGHBORHOOD.
Also, our home is a duplex - so there is a mirror image house next door with three bedrooms. This arrangement has proved a wonderful option for family gatherings - particularly for two separate families - or grandparents/parent vacations. Because we have a large backyard, there is ample privacy.

SO YOU KNOW - WE STRICTLY ENFORCE THE GOLDEN RULE: YOU MUST TREAT OUR GUESTS AND NEIGHBORS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED - WITH REPECT AND KINDNESS.

ALSO, IN THE SUMMER CHECK IN AND CHECK OUT TIMES ARE STRICTLY ENFORCED TO ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR CLEANING. (If off-season - we are easy. Talk to us.)
