About this property

Classic Lakeside Cottage, Prime Location-Across from Hoover Auditorium

This cottage at 317 Central is both humble (although it can sleep 10) and strategically located. It is right across the street from the Hoover Auditorium where nightly shows and entertainment are scheduled each summer. It is just 2 streets from the lake and Lakeside town center. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs all with double beds. (one of the bedrooms is a walk through from another). There is 1 bedroom downstairs with 2 twin beds and window AC unit. All the beds have new pillow top mattresses. To keep cool in the summer, all 4 upstairs bedrooms have window A/C, downstairs dining has a window A/C and there are 10 ceilings fans covering all bedrooms, kitchen, dining areas etc. Downstairs has a full bath newly renovated with a tub/shower. There is a 1/2 bath upstairs. The kitchen offers a full size refrigerator, electric range, microwave, toaster, coffee pot as well as lots of cooking / eating ware and plenty of storage space in the pantry. Adding to the "family experience" at this cottage is a dinning room table that can seat 8, a living room that is complete with 2 sofa's, a lazy chair and 45" flat screen SmartTV and free wifi. In addition 1 upstairs bedroom has a 35" flat screen Roku TV.

To make you and your family feel comfortable in this summer cottage home - there are many shelves that are overflowing with children's books, and family games. The back yard includes a large brick patio with a table / umbrella and several sets of chairs and shade under a large hickory tree to escape the hot summer sun at Lakeside. The backyard has a barn that contains a charcoal grill, sandbox toys for the beach and other yard games for your family to enjoy. We also have a propane 2 burner grill.

In the front of this traditional Lakeside cottage you will find a full size open porch with a large awning to keep the sun out, plus comfortable glider and 3 rocking chairs. There is driveway parking for 1 large car or 2 smaller cars. The theme of this cottage is to provide a home that is comfortable, fun and very accessible to all locations. You can sit on the front porch and enjoy the sights and sounds of people, children, bicycles, dogs and golf carts that roll by from morning until evening. You can cook a nice family meal and eat at the dining table inside or have a picnic in the shady back yard. With only 1 block to walk you can quickly find Lakeside's Main Street commercial / social scenes, take in some recreation and the activity at the lakefront park - or you can stay at home and read books, play games or pop in a movie. Whatever you and your family might need, this Lakeside cottage has something to offer everyone during your stay. Bed sizes: 4 Doubles and 2 twins.
If you're looking to stay for minimum of 2-3 nights or during Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, inquire to owners.

Very quaint cottage in a great location. We could walk to the pool in one direction and to the lake in the other. Room air conditioners worked well as it was very hot! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed.

Fantastic stay with extended family…..literally steps to downtown, Hoover auditorium, shuffleboard, mini golf, park and pier. Had a golf cart but didn’t really need it other than joy rides. Loved the place…..can fit a lot of people despite the smaller square footage. Would stay there again for sure. Fantastic place!

Family vacation

The Location was good because we could walk everywhere. Nice backyard with ample space for family games and gathering. The house was clean and tidy upon our arrival. The kitchen lacks counter space and ample prep area. We struggled to prepare meals for our family.
Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 13 Aug, 2025
We are glad you enjoyed our Lakeside home and location. Yes, the kitchen is small and the counterspace is on the small side. That is why I have over the sink cutting boards to open up counter space. I believe when a renter is looking at photos of a property to see if the rental will work, you will notice on my photos, the kitchen space. All my photos show exactly what to expect from my cottage. It's a Lakeside cottage. Thank you, Kathy Scheerer

Edgewater has excellent amenities, and this villa provided what we needed during our stay. It was spacious and comfortable for a family of five. Our host was good at communicating and responding to any inquiries. The unit was clean upon arrival, though it could benefit from some deep cleaning and a few small updates, such as new pillows and shower curtains. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would return!

Outstanding experience

The property is very well maintained and each year we stay there, they have done something to enhance it. They also respond very quickly.One of the AC units in a bedroom was not working properly so they got a new one within a day and brought it to the property because they knew it was supposed to get hot.

Patti, We have enjoyed having your family in our cottage for the past 5 years...even through Covid. I'm glad you notice all the hard work we put in every year to enhance the cottage. It's not only for our renters but it's our cottage as well, so we want it nice as well. Thank you again for alerting us with the AC unit so quickly. We were thankful we could get one so quickly and we were able to install it before the heat wave come through. We look forward to having you in 2026. Blessings, Kathy & Mike Scheerer
