About the host

Hosted by Ruthann

Host profile image
I enjoy providing guests a combination of exceptional things that I've experienced at the many Vrbo properties which I've stayed. I believe little thoughtful touches can make a great stay, a really excellent one!

Why they chose this property

Rye Beach in Huron, Ohio is close to all the convivences you could want. But yet, it is slower paced allowing you to take deep breaths of fresh air and relax. The perfect mixture of lake, country and city!

What makes this property unique

The Shore House has all of the character you'd expect for being over 100 years old! Each area of the house is unique and inviting. The views of the lake are amazing whether it be from the kitchen sink, bedroom, loft, front porch or balcony! Our family loves spending time here and we want others to experience that same joy.
