About this property

Cottage Custom built by owner plus 4 person golf cart included

This charming 3 bedroom cottage retreat sleeps 10. Located in Lakeside, a gated community that charges an entry fee during season. We built this cottage as our own home in 2002 with all the modern amenities yet keeping true to that old Lakeside charm. Spacious family room and open kitchen are great for family entertaining. Formal dinning room for large family gatherings. Huge screened porch perfect for lounging or enjoying an outdoor meal. Master has queen bed with private bath and walk in closet. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms both have single/double bunk sets. There is a pull day bend with trundle in the living room. The cottage has central air + washer/dryer for your convenience. Sleeps 10. Two cars off street parking. plus you can also park 3 or 4 cars on the road in front of the cottage.

Be sure to check with www.Lakesideohio.com for pricing on gate fees and schedule of events. Note there are gate fees during the summer season, Typically Memorial weekend through Labor day weekend but be certain to check lakeside.com to be certain of pricing for the dates you have reserved.

Also due to the nature of Lakeside rentals guest are required to bring their own; sheets, towels and pillow cases.

We are located around the corner from the tennis complex on 6th and the new pool complex located right next to the tennis center. Plus the widely popular pickle ball which is also located at the tennis complex.

Each rental comes with the use of a 4 person golf cart. No extra charge, it is included in the rental fee, compare this to having to rent a golf cart in town which would have cost you an additional $350 a week..

Lakeside is a hidden gem in northeast Ohio. It is a gated Chautauqua community encompassing mind, body and spirit with a large range of daily programming and nightly entertainment in the 3,000 seat Hoover Auditorium.

We don't have cable but we do have a smart TV and you can watch with your own accounts

NOTE: LINENS AND TOWELS ARE NOT INCLUDED, THIS IS COMMON FOR LAKESIDE COTTAGE RENTALS

You can rent linens and such at https://lakesidelinensupply.com/ or bring your own

We enjoyed a great week in this lovely home. This home was clean and well equipped with plenty of room. We enjoyed the screened in porch. There was a nice fire pit that would be fun when nights are cooler. We loved the location close to the pool. The golf cart was wonderful for driving to the pool or for shuffleboard. We loved that our dog could be with us for this week. We’d love to return and stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

A Lakeside Great!

This home was incredible! An amazing place to relax with the family and experience all that Lakeside has to offer. The screened porch was great for dining and the front porch was great for coffee and relaxing. Having the golf cart was perfect for getting to all the Lakeside hot spots. Highly recommend this place for a visit to Lakeside.

We loved staying at this cottage in Lakeside. It was the perfect place to stay to enjoy a weekend at the lake. The kitchen is fully stocked, there is plenty of space, and we really enjoyed sitting in the sunroom. Larry was very responsive, and we were even able to check in a few hours early.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Schottenstein

Host profile image
We are long term Lakeside residents who have built 10 cottages as investments. This one is unique and was built as our own home and we are now renting it on a limited basis. Our children have spent their entire childhoods growing up every summer in Lakeside. My wife and I had a restaurant for a few years in Lakeside, Summer Stock, and then moved on to a larger full service restaurant in Columbus. Due to family growing older and our schedule we are not in Lakeside all summer any more. We envite you to enjoy our summer home and create your own memories.

Why they chose this property

This home offers an affordable alternative to what is typically available in Lakeside without compromising your comfort and enjoyment. The home was built in 2002 and combines modern features like central air, on site washer and dryer to make your stay comfortable. We also custom built this cottage as our own home so you don't compromise that cottage feel. We have wood flooring, bead board walls, large front porch, huge screened in porch for outdoor dinning. With our home you will avoid an old and musty cottage maintained as a rental over the years or it won't have central a/c and can be hot to say the least.

Our golf cart is included with the rental, there is a charcoal grill out back plus a fire pit.

What makes this property unique

A summer vacation where you don't have to lock your doors. Something to do for everyone. We are around the corner from the tennis complex with free group lessons, close to the Rhein arts center which is popular for it's offering of art classes, you can check the little ones in at God Squad or at the play ground or enjoy the pier and lake front as a family. Close to all the Islands and Cedar Point.
