About this property
GLASS HOUSE 5 BR Private Lake Erie Beach Great for Summer, Fall, Winter
The GLASS HOUSE was designed by an associate of Frank Lloyd Wright (FLW). It is a UNIQUE example of his classic architecture and use of 'core' living space. The Mid-Centruy Modern furniture and the classic design with large picture windows across the front and rear of the Glass House make it a wonderful location for vacationers to enjoy unobstructed views of both Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay. The mahogany wood walls and interior finish with cedar ceilings are exceptional example of FLW's style and simplicity. The front deck provides a panoramic view of the lake for relaxing.
An OPEN living area, kitchen, dining area, and two decks along with two "primary" bedrooms with baths are located on the upper floor. The Lower Level has three bedrooms and kids' family room with a second Smart TV for more versatility in entertainment. One of these bedrooms has a king bed, while the one has two twin beds and a queen, the fifth bedroom has two twin beds. The kids' family room features a small kitchen with dishwasher and refrigerator for entertaining on the brick patio in the back.
Recent improvements include new hardwood flooring on main level, new furniture, bedding, Smart TV. Internet is provided with WiFi in the house.
For your outdoor enjoyment a boccie ball set, a croquet set, 12 outdoor chairs, 3 picnic tables, and 3 umbrellas are available. Beach toys are stored in the shed. The patio furniture allow the full use of the outside rear yard, and there is ample area for children and games. There are also 2 picnic tables at the bay beach.
The view of the water and beach will allow your family to enjoy a unique experience on Lake Erie. Don't forget the islands. You will be limited only by your time and your creativity in enjoying the area.

Thanks for the kind words! I’m happy to help any guest with anything related to their stay.
please visit again..
Fabulous glass house offering views of the water from both sides of the house--wonderful architecture. Loved the proximity to all the nature preserves and to the downtown of Sandusky. The house is comfortable, big, and includes everything you need! The main living area is open to the kitchen and has a gas fireplace that we gathered around to play games and read. Went in the winter--quiet and serene. Saw Trumpeter swans, eagles, pelicans, ducks, cranes, herons, and geese just on the drive in to the house. Highly recommend.

Thanks for the great review! Hope to host you again .
What an amazing experience! To have two private beaches right at your property is incredible. The area has large mature trees and draws a lot of birds right to your door. We spent almost our entire time just watching the birds and walking the area. We even saw TWO very large eagles right in the back yard (along with multiple types of herons, egrets, vultures, white snow geese, ducks, and so on). The owner is super responsive. The property is not modern and fancy like a resort, but rather it is like coming home to a beautiful lakeside retreat with the best views. We can't wait to come back and bring our bird book next time!
Amazing water location. Views are great. Kids had a ton of fun. Bald eagles were out and about during the day fishing. House as advertised. Will come again.

Thanks for the review! Bald Eagles are often around this property all winter. P on ease visit again.
My entire family (3 adult children and spouses as well as two adult grandchildren) spent the last three days at this property. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at Doug's property. We have no reservations about returning for a future stay.
The location overlooking the lake and the bay is wonderful. The kitchen has all needed items. The various sitting areas indoors and outdoors are really nice, and in spite of rain a couple of days, all had a wonderful time. Thank you.
Beautiful home in a perfect setting. The beach areas are lovely (perfect view for fireworks all over the area). Home is spacious and clean. Lots of room for a family!
The house was super cool and clean!Location is perfect if you want to spend time at Cedar point. We had a great time. The owner is friendly and easy to work with.
•Windows & all the natural light-amazing!•Terrific open floor so inviting•Tremendous outdoor spaces with water on both sides made for memorable family vacation•Personally, I also loved the two dishwashers,two sets of laundry because we had a larger group.
Tremendous location with access to two beaches. Fully equipped home with loads of room. Owner was attentive when needed. Unique mid-century design mixed with current open concept. We had ann excellent family weekend!
We had a wonderful stay! Loved having direct beachfront access to Lake Erie with the Sandusky Bay right in the backyard — the location couldn’t be better. The house was unique, clean, and fit our group of 8 very comfortably. The host was extremely accommodating and communication was excellent throughout. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
Stayed here many years. Beautiful views of lake and bay, with large backyard and beach access. Nice open floor plan for all to gather. House furnished with bedding and towels and kitchen supplies. Owner is very easy to communicate with. We had a small issue that required his attention and it was addressed immediately.
