This sweet rental house was very conveniently situated for our explorations of Catawba, Marblehead, Sandusky, and Kelleys Island. We appreciated the quiet location back from the busy road, found everything we needed for our 2-night stay, and enjoyed good sleep on the comfortable beds.
This was an adorable little home right in between Lakeside and Marblehead. It was nestled within 5 to 10 minutes of every location we went over the last three days, which is just perfect. We were in town for a family reunion, so we really only used the home for sleeping, but it definitely has everything that you would need for a nice stay and a visit to the area.
Rebecca was a great host. House was clean and easy access. It is in a great location and close to two major boat ramps to put our boat in to go bass fishing. Lots of food and grocery stores close by. Also lots of electric outlets to charge boat battery outside. We loved it and look forward to coming back next year or this summer again.

Glad you enjoyed your stay, sorry about the towels! Glad you reached out so my son could get you the missing towels!
We live in NW Ohio and love getting away to the Marblehead area, which is normally just day trips. This summer our kids were at an age where we wanted to get some beach time at the Shores at Cedar Point with our season passes. We loved this cottage right next to Lakeside - fun local resturants nearby - we hit up Bruno's Pizza and wing night (Wednesdays) at Cleats. We always get our ice cream at Brown's Dairy Dock. Our kids loved the cottage and were very excited every day when we returned. It was the perfect retreat as we enjoyed lake life. Our kids are already plotting our next trip back haha.

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Abraham
We live on the west side of Cleveland and enjoy spending our summers at the lake! Our house is located on the border of Lakeside and we find this the best of both worlds. Only paying the gate fee if we plan on going into Lakeside. We are a mile away from Marblehead and the area offers two public boat launching ramps, lots of places to walk and ride bikes.
