Getaway at Guilford Lake

The Getaway at Guilford Lake is the perfect place for your family and is only a little over an hour from Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

This over-sized (2,300 sq. feet) lake house offers 4 large bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. Located in Guilford Lake State Park, the house overlooks Guilford Lake, with only a park between the home and the lake, and lake access for our 4 kayaks is directly across the street. This country charmer has a kitchen fully stocked with utensils, including a Keurig-type coffee maker, toaster and microwave. The kids will be thrilled with the basement game-room filled with jigsaw puzzles, board games, TV, dart board and Foosball table. This room has the best view of the lake! Outside amenities include cornhole, fire pit and 4 kayaks. Indoors, a desk is available for remote work and a collection of books and magazines are available for a rainy day. Beautifully decorated, the Getaway at Guilford beckons you to “Stay Awhile.”

***The Guilford Lake dam project begins in September 2025 and will continue until Memorial Day 2027. Due to this important infrastructure project, the lake will be drained for the end of 2025 and the full 2026 season. Unfortunately, this means there will be no boating, swimming or fishing during this time period. We of course will still be happy to host you and rates will be lowered accordingly for the 2026 season. We share this information to be fully transparent with our valued guests. ***

For meals, guests can cook in the well-equipped kitchen or use the gas grill on the lake-view deck. Local eateries include the new coffee shop, Nourish Coffee and Kitchen; Mark’s Landing Restaurant with a view of the lake, Sip Taproom and Pondi's Restaurant (reservations required). Other favorites include the Tipsy Farmer Winery and BirdFish Brewery (which also sponsors a nearby Disc Golf Course). Try the local establishments in downtown Salem, we love the OG, where there are also well-known brands such as Dunkin, Giant Eagle, Aldi and Brighton Hot Dog.

Only motorized boats less than 10 HP are allowed on the lake so it is perfect for fishing and kayaking, and you can rent pontoon boats at Mark's Landing. Access points to the Greenway Bike Trail are close by for bikers and walkers. And there are 2 golf courses within 5 minutes as well as the Scenic Vista disc golf course.
