The house was very comfortable. We enjoyed the very clever "seek and find" painted on the walls in the dining area. The house was well supplied with games, kitchen items, towels... We were pleased with all that was provided. The location was great to visit Kelley's Island, Lakeside and the Marblehead lighthouse, just to name a few of the places we visited during the week. And I greatly appreciated how well the host communicated with me to answer questions before we arrived. We had a fun week in Lakeside!!

Home away from home

Our stay at The Hummingbird Inn, was absolutely delightful and truly unforgettable! From the moment we stepped through the door, we were enveloped in a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel instantly at home. Every detail seemed to be thoughtfully arranged, ensuring we had everything we needed for our family reunion. The property itself is impeccably maintained, sparkling clean, and incredibly easy to access, making our arrival and departure a breeze. We couldn't have asked for a more unique or charming base for exploring beautiful Marblehead!"

Beautiful House for Our Family Gathering

Tina’s house is amazing. The house is spacious and easily accommodated our 11 family members. The kids were entertained by the many games, puzzles, toys, and especially the seek and find walls in the Lemon Room. While not large, there was enough space in the yard for to play croquet (we brought ours) and toss a ball. The kitchen had pans of all sizes, plates and bowls appropriate for small children, and so many other useful household items. A short distance from the beach at East Harbor State Park, lighthouses, the ferry to Kelley’s Island, and Browns Dairy Dock. Our family of grandparents, parents, and children ages 3-9 had a great time and would come again if planning to be in the area.

Wonderful Family Girls Weekend

The Hummingbird Nest was the perfect rental for our annual Girls Trip with 3 generations of our family. The house is very clean and well appointed with everything you could possibly need for a home away from home. Plenty of things to do at the house, and it has a great location for all the local sightseeing. Booking, check-in and check-out were very easy, and communication with the owner was great. We had a lot of fun and would definitely stay again!

Charming, Cozy Lake Cottage

This is truly a whimsical cozy retreat that is full of wonderful surprises. From the hand painted hidden picture find in the dining room to the game nook and toy room. Our host was always available to answer questions and eagerly willing to do whatever was necessary to ensure our stay was as pleasant as possible. A lifetime of sweet memories were made here this past week and we wouldn’t hesitate to return for a future visit.

Kid Friendly

We had a whole crew of kids ranging from 3-13 and they all loved the stay. They loved sleeping in the bunks together and playing the games the house had. We were a little concerned with how hot the house was when we arrived but after turning on all the window ACs it cooled down nicely, even the rooms that didnt have the window units. Definitely a fun weekend trip for all of the cousins, the kids already want to go back!

This house was nothing short of amazing!! The hosts left no stone unturned. Incredibly clean, impeccably decorated with charm in every room!! One of the highlights for our family was all of the games provided and the Hide snd Seek game in the Lemon Room. It is incredibly close to Lakedide as well, which was a huge plus!! My whole family wants to return again next year!! If you book this house you WILL NOT regret it😀

Loved our Stay!

The house was so lovely and charming. All the little details were so much fun for our guests ranging in age from 2-84! The lemon room and seek and find was a real hit, the kids loved looking for all the items with grandparents. The first floor master was convenient for my grandparents who would struggle with stairs. The games, trivia books, puzzles made for some fun times! While we did go out to eat for most meals we made dinner and breakfast in the kitchen and had everything we needed to do so. We spend a lot of time in Lakeside, enjoyed twin oast, antique shops. The house was great to get back to for the baby to nap and movies at the end of a fun day. I would definitely rent again!

Lovely well-restored older home

Clean trim environment. Of special note, the “wallpaper” is actually painted on by a skillful artist. Our family loved the challenge to look for 35 items hidden among the lemons and berries in the breakfast room. AC from 5 different window units kept place comfortable despite outside temps in 90s. Well equipped kitchen. Plenty of room for our 4 adults and 3 teenagers. Adjacent Chautauqua village accessible by free 2 hour passes. Ferries to local islands within close driving distance. Especially liked Kelley Island.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Horne

Host profile image
We are multi-family owners who have all grown up annually visiting the Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio area. It is a very special and nostalgic place for us. We have spent years building this space to be what we enjoy in a weekend or weeklong getaway, and we continue to add the little touches that we think will make it shine. We are thrilled to share it with others who we hope will appreciate the same nuances that we find so comforting and enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

Our family has always loved the Marblehead and Lakeside Chautauqua area and when we found this property we knew it would be perfect for us. Lakeside Chautauqua sits right in our backyard and although we are not inside the gates, we are proud to be able to offer the best of both worlds. You have the ability to spend a day or two in Lakeside and also be able to enjoy the many other activities the area has to offer such as Ferry rides to the islands, the Marblehead Lighthouse, the beach at East Harber, the many local artisan shops and wonderful restaurants to please any palate.

What makes this property unique

We feel the most unique thing about our property is that it is family oriented. We have worked to build a space where you can come and bring your family for that much needed rejuvenation of just enjoying being together. We are also centrally located to the many activities the area has to offer.
