Beautiful

My stay at the Lakeside Retreat residence was for my 13 year Anniversary. We enjoyed the quietness and the view. My host was a blessing because he let me come early and that really helped us with traffic. So thanks again! Very nice place I would definitely come again.

Fantastic property

We’ve stayed in rentals in San Diego, SC, NC, KY, FL, AZ & more. I’ve learned to pack all sorts of ‘just in case’ items, and in this trip, I needed NONE of them. Plenty of towels, tissues, seasonings, trash bags, extra blankets, games, outdoor chairs and cushions, local information, sewing kits, and even ear plugs. This was the first rental I didn’t feel the need to clean surfaces prior to using them. Perfect stay!

Amazing stay!

This property was amazing! It had everything we needed and was so clean! The whole house is cute and comfortable. George is so kind and accommodating. We absolutely loved the lake views. You can’t beat them! We especially loved the views from the upstairs deck. There is a great pier walk and nature trail around the pond within walking distance. We looked for birds each morning. Would highly reccomend this location to all! We hope to be back. Thank you!

I live in the area so it was like a hidden jem for me. It had all amenities you need and ones you didn't think of. The scenery and nature was BEAUTIFUL. This was my first time renting a house and i think i will never go back to hotels again.

Comfortable Retreat

We stayed for two nights on a recent visit to Cleveland. The house was fantastic, clean and comfortable. It was cold outside but the wonderful view of the lake was what we needed to rest. We plan to be back! Thank you George!

Amazing stay!

We travel frequently and have stayed in a number of vacation rentals. Lakeside Retreat is by far the best home we have ever stayed in. The owners gave thought of everything. From the wide array of comp toiletries that would cover nearly anything you may have forgotten, to the charging cords; and fully stocked kitchen with standard condiments, water and anything you might need to make a delicious meal. The place was beyond clean and super cozy and comfortable. The view, even in the dead of winter, was gorgeous. I almost want to keep this place a secret, it’s that good! A hidden gem in the heart of Lorain. I cannot wait to come back in the summertime and really enjoy the outdoor space.

Valentines Getaway with a Chance of Snow

The stay was absolutely wonderful! I booked this place for my partner and I semi-last minute for a Valentine’s Day weekend getaway. We are both lovers of waterfronts, so this place was perfect (and reasonably priced). The check in process was very easy and the property has numerous amenities from bubble bath to coffee mate in the fridge. The property is renovated, well kept, and as advertised. The views of the waterfront are not exaggerated, and one can really walk down to the lakeside with ease. This place was beautiful during the winter amid the backdrop of a frozen lake. During our stay, we unfortunately had unexpected snow and the roads got dangerous. George, the host, was very kind to let us extend the trip by one day and was in contact throughout the whole process. We appreciate his understanding on that matter. Overall, this was a 10/10 trip and we hope to come back!

Gorgeous 5 Star

The property and owner very gracious & the pictures do little justice to the immaculate home that the Owner has provided, the Views are breath taking, the comfort is second to none, The Decor the Misses has provided makes you feel right at home. I would buy this house in a second as is, if it was on the market. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely, Capt.

Another Great Stay!

Another great fall stay at the Lakeside Retreat. The view of the lake is amazing from outside and inside. We love to watch the boats go back and forth all day. Immaculately clean inside and out. Kudos to the cleaning crew! The home has everything you need and more. Communication with the owner was great. We rarely give a five-star rating, but this rental certainly deserves it. A little about the area: there is a fresh fish market, Ardick Seafood, within a few minutes where you can get perch, walleye and more. The Paper Moon Vineyards is about 20 minutes away. The Quarry Hill Orchards and winery is a fun stop within 30 minutes. Try a snoogle at Kiedrowski's bakery or stop into Marta's N more bakery downtown Lorain (although they have limited hours). And just a couple of minutes to the Marina where you can take a walk on the mile long pier. Only 40 minutes or so either way to Sandusky or Cleveland. This place is a great find!

Awesome Property Lakeside Retreat

Our fourth stay at Lakeside Retreat in the past two years is just as rewarding as the first. The owners have taken the provisions and environment (inside and out) several steps beyond our expectations. Top quality throughout!! A message to new searching tenants….look no further, you will find all of your expectations met and more when booking a stay at the Lakeside Retreat. Already we are planning future bookings at this property for 2025. Congratulations to the owners……Well Done!!

Perfection on the Lake

This was my second stay here and I loved it even more than the first time. The neighborhood is quiet, the house is clean and bright, the decor is lovely and very tasteful, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen and bathrooms are fully equipped with everything you could possibly need (and my wife adored the bathtub), and the lake view is spectacular. Probably the nicest VRBO I've ever stayed in.

Beautiful home with amazing views of the lake

There isn’t anything bad to say about this house or the host. Communication was always clear and responded to very timely. The home is immaculately clean. They have thought of and provided any and everything you could possibly need while staying there. They even provide a wide variety of convenience items you may have forgotten. The home has wonderful views of the lake from many rooms and there are tons of outside seating options. The surrounding neighborhood isn’t the best, but the actual street the home is on is fine, and we had no problems while staying there. Overall, Great place to stay.

Perfekter Ort zum Entspannen

Wir haben unseren USA Urlaub in New York gestartet und sind dann über mehrere Zwischenstops, zum relaxen in diesem wunderschönen Haus angekommen. Wir haben 10 Nächte dort verbracht. Die Ankunft war herzlich, da der Eigentümer zur selben Zeit, in seinem Haus nebenan, anwesend war. Der Zugang zum Haus erfolgte über einen Code. Diesen haben wir erst bei Ankunft erhalten. Das Haus ist wunderschön eingerichtet und sehr liebevoll gestaltet und gepflegt. Alles vorhanden was man braucht. Wenn etwas fehlt wird es sofort besorgt. Z.B. war kein Flaschenöffner vorhanden. Wir haben zufällige den Besitzer getroffen und er hat sofort einen für uns besorgt. Da wir zum relaxen da waren und ziemlich viel draußen auf der Veranda gesessen haben, kam der Besitzer nach ein paar Tagen und hatte zwei richtige neue Liegestühle gekauft. Diese waren vorher nicht vorhanden. Kurz bevor wir ankamen hat es einen schlimmen Sturm gegeben, der das Internet lahmgelegt hat. Es wurde sofort repariert. Den Verwalter des Objektes haben wir nicht oft gesehen. Deshalb können wir dazu nicht viel sagen. Das einzige weniger gute ist, dass man zwar direkt am See wohnt aber nicht direkt ins Wasser kann. Zu rutschig. Die Umgebung ist sehr ruhig und schön. Wir hatten das Glück viele atemberaubende Sonnenuntergänge zu sehen. Der Leuchtturm ist nicht weit und lohnenswert. Es gibt in der Nähe Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, kleine schöne Strände. Man benötigt aber ein Auto. Fazit. Super sauber, super Besitzer, super Gegend. Danke.

Amazing place with attention to the finer details

The place was perfect! They definitely put time and thought into the finer details of making this place a great place for short-term rentals. They had all kinds of little quirks about the place that made you feel just a home; to the point, if you forgot something......they most likely had it in stock in the house for you to use; from toiletries to feminine products, to bandaids, and beyond. Excellent host and would definitely stay there again.
