Thank you so much for your 5 Star Review! The Shore House can fit 3 larger vehicles on the property (I agree a bit tight) and more a block down. We hope to host you again!
This is our second summer staying here and we just absolutely love it! Best location and everything you need at the house. We’ll be coming back for round 3 for sure!
Great to hear! The only issue you brought to my attention was not getting the TV working. I checked and it is working but a little tricky with 2 remotes. I'm adding instructions to the welcome packet for the TV. Also, I was so happy to look for, find and return your lost item a couple weeks after your stay!
The house was very much like listing. Enjoyed 3 nights with family of 9. Plenty of space and location was great.Ruthanne was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Definitely recommend staying here.Thank you for sharing your house with us.The Hall Family

Wonderful to hear! As you pointed out, the Shore House is the perfect combination of honoring its history while still having modern conveniences!
The location is perfect with a nice view of the lake. All the extras that were included such as zip-lock bags, beach towels, beach chairs, spices etc. were great.

So glad you relaxed & enjoyed the scenery! The park members had a meeting followed by a park clean-up when you were there. So, that accounts for the unusual busyness in the park. We're happy you enjoyed the Shore House so much that you're planning on staying with us again!
This place was very nice and very beautiful... it was clean and big enough for all the family we had staying. The host was very nice and answeres all questions etc. We will definitely be back

About the host
Hosted by Ruthann
I enjoy providing guests a combination of exceptional things that I've experienced at the many Vrbo properties which I've stayed. I believe little thoughtful touches can make a great stay, a really excellent one!
Why they chose this property
Rye Beach in Huron, Ohio is close to all the convivences you could want. But yet, it is slower paced allowing you to take deep breaths of fresh air and relax. The perfect mixture of lake, country and city!
What makes this property unique
The Shore House has all of the character you'd expect for being over 100 years old! Each area of the house is unique and inviting. The views of the lake are amazing whether it be from the kitchen sink, bedroom, loft, front porch or balcony! Our family loves spending time here and we want others to experience that same joy.
