The Shore House is a great family location. We stayed with our two children and their families. A total of 9 people. We had plenty of room to eat, sleep and relax. The children especially loved the “secret room” (as they called it) on the third floor. The house is directly across a quiet street from a large park, and a small private beach. We used both everyday. We also loved the very large public Nickel beach, just a short drive away. There are many fine golf courses near by and of course Cedar Point Amusement Park. All less than a 20 minute drive.We only encountered one negative. That being the front pouch roof leaked terribly during a heavy rain storm.We are hopeful we can stay there again someday, and we highly recommend it to you.

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.
