The cottage was perfect for my family as I would not have changed a thing. Brian was so accommodating and communication with him was seamless. We truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
Brian and Jaclyn's place served as an amazing "home base" during a long weekend vacation for myself, my wife, my brother, and my mom. Both Brian and Jaclyn were communicative throughout our visit, and the home itself -- which is inside the gates of Lakeside -- served our needs perfectly. It was our first family vacation in some time, and we hope to be back again soon!

Thanks Matt for the great review. We really love hearing about great Lakeside experiences! Please come back soon!
This cottage was the perfect place for our traditional family week at Lakeside! The kids loved the location (right across from a park) and the cottage was clean and comfortable!

Thank you for staying with us Emily! We would love to have you back next summer!
11 of us went aged 8-74 and had a great time! Location was great, across from a park and an easy walk to the center. Cute house with lots of charm! Very clean and inviting. Brian was wonderful to work with. We love Lakeside and all it has to offer.

Thanks for the great review Staci! We loved sharing out cottage with you and your family. Please come back again next summer.
The accommodations were perfect for my husband and I and 4 grandkids. Everyone had their space. The owner was very responsive and made sure we were going to have a great stay. Plenty of dishes, cooking tools grill, etc.Loved riding bikes and also walking to parks. We rented a golf cart and highly recommend that. We’d stay here again if we’re up this way!

Thanks Bren for the great review! Would love to have you back anytime!
We greatly enjoyed our stay. The house had absolutely everything we could have needed. It was very clean and well appointed. It was so cool to be in a historic district house for the weekend. We especially enjoyed the back patio, fire pit and loved it they they provided bikes and scooters for our use. House is close to downtown shops and food. The host was was very helpful in answering questions and providing suggestions for our day activities. We will definitely be back next year!

We loved hosting Matt and his family. We look forward to hosting them for years to come.
The property itself is a sweet little early 20th Century house with a park across the street and just two blocks from Lake Erie. All that is good. The downside is that it is in Lakeside, a Chautauqua village that sees itself as a resort. We knew there were fees for staying at the house as it's within this community, but we were sticker-shocked by the 647.50 for the three-day stay for us five adults and our one vehicle.Truth is, if you would make use of the amenities, huge pool, tennis and pickleball courts, concerts, lectures, etc., it might be worth it. But we were there for a family reunion and spent almost no time at the house.The owners mention the passes in their description, but there would be greater transparency if they listed the price of those passes, or at least a link to it, within the property description.

About the host
Hosted by Brian and Jaclyn
Our family is in love with Lake Erie, the Lake Erie Islands and Lakeside! We have been vacationing here since before we were married! Our family is also a busy one with many activities and travels. So, we do not get to use our Lakeside cottage nearly as much as we would like but we do love sharing it with our guests.
Why they chose this property
We have always loved the community of Lakeside for everything it offers. It is truly a step back in time but also has every amenity you could want in a summer vacation. We had been searching for the right Lakeside home for many years. Once we stepped into this home we instantly fell in love with its timeless beauty. It was very apparent that all of the previous owners and vacationers cared for the home as much as we do! It is so close to everything you could want it was just perfect for us.
What makes this property unique
When you rent with us you deal directly with us, the owners, not some management company. We use the home ourselves and have been coming to the area for decades so we know all of the best places for dining, entertainment and family fun!
