Wonderful lakeside property. Very clean and well maintained on a quiet street. We enjoyed the outside seating areas overlooking the lake. The house was well stocked with supplies and had all the amenities we needed. Would definitely stay here if we are in the area again.

The home was as advertised! I have stayed at many properties in my travels and this by far was the most impressive of them all. George (the host) was very accomodating and pleasant. He has thought of most things any visitor could need and delivered a 5 star experience for myself and family. The veiws of lake Erie from the waterfront property are breathtaking. The outdoor accommodations are equally as great as the interior of the home. I will definitely be returning in the spring. I just want to say thank you to George and Ron the neighbor who was very helpful and friendly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The Victorola and the selection of music was an added bonus. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the upper patio while watching the Neighbourhood eagle and various other sea birds. We even had a surprise visitor, the local groundhog. Everything we could possibly want to make our stay enjoyable with furnished. We loved our stay at the Lakeview retreat.

This house is the perfect place for rest and relaxation. This was our third stay and we enjoy it more every time. The house is new and clean and has every amenity imaginable. The neighborhood is very quiet, the view of the lake is ideal, and there are several different comfortable places to sit outside. This is my wife's and my favorite VRBO. We plan to continue going back. I can't recommend it more highly for couples wanting to get away from it all.

Great Getaway on the Erie Shore

Cleanliness impeccable.Very well equipped. Great setting directly on Lake Erie Shore.Enjoyed the great views of the Lake from the sun & dining rooms and from the outdoor patio and the back bedroom and adjoining upper deck. We especially enjoyed the sunsets from the small back yard patio overlooking the lake.

Lovely, comfortable, clean, well appointed, right on the lake

We stayed here over th long graduation weekend at Oberlin. Wish we had found it earlier in her 5 years. Oberlin is a straight shot down from the lake, 13 miles, an easy & relaxing 25 min The title gives our summary of the property. We particularly enjoyed the many herons and occasional osprey cruising by the water's edge up high. Lovely sunsets too! Attentive, helpful, unobtrusive hosts.

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.

This vacation rental is a true gem that I would give 10 stars if I could. We have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and this one ranks among the top. To start, the location is beautiful. It was so tranquil sitting on the water and we didn't experience any noisy neighbors. The house was immaculate and they thought of everything you might need, from a well stocked kitchen to the little amenities like cords in the bedrooms and living room to plug in your devices. The air conditioning was fantastic and the beds were really comfortable, which is a make it or break it for me. Also, both bathrooms upstairs had big walk-in showers, which we appreciated. The location was great, only a few blocks from main street and a half mile to the wonderful public beach. We came to celebrate our 25th anniversary and it was perfect! We can't wait to go back 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!

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!

This property is AMAZING! The view is STUNNING! The fire pit was FABULOUS! The house is absolutely gorgeous with high end decor all around and fully stocked with EVERYTHING you could possibly imagine. The thoughtfulness that George and Ron put into making this stay perfect is evident and there is not enough room to list them all (Bag of ice, mints, movies, games, music, toiletries, first aid supplies, even ketchup and mustard :)) You name it and it is probably there somewhere. I highly recommend this house for your next stay. It was perfection.

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!
