We invite you to come and 'get-away' for a week (or two) at this cozy home located on a 1/2 acre of lakefront property and situated at the end of a quiet residential street. Our summer cottage is family owned and operated and we believe in greeting all of our guests and making you feel right at home.

'Little House on the Lake' is the perfect retreat for a small family or adults vacationing together. A beautiful view of Lake Erie can be seen just out the front door and the large open yard is perfect for various summertime activities. Docks are also available to rent for our boat owning guests. They are located within walking distance from the home as well as a free public boat ramp less than 2 minutes away. Not a boat owner Don't worry, we are also conveniently located between the many boat ferries if you choose others to navigate the sea for you.

A better location for summertime fun cannot be found! Our 'Little House on the Lake' is only a few miles from the famous Marblehead Lighthouse. We are also close to area beaches, restaurants and 'Monsoon Lagoon' the most cost effective outdoor waterpark around. It takes approximately 30 minutes for our guests to get to Cedar Point & Soak City by car and the Erie Islands; Kelley's, Middle Bass, South Bass (Put-in-Bay) and Pelee by boat.

If you need a break from the Lake, why not go shopping Local businesses offer some other great catches as well. We are 5 minutes from the quaint downtown city of Marblehead which features numerous little specialty shoppes. Shop while you walk along side a beautiful view of the Lake. The quiet and relaxing Lakeside community is also within an arm's reach of our place. Hours can be spent enjoying the countless activities going on inside their gates.

Fishermen: check out the 'Western Basin' known for the most productive fishing on the Great Lakes. Walleye, Perch and Bass can be caught in large numbers throughout the year. Many of our guests have caught their fill of fish without even leaving the front yard! Sunbathers or swimmers: if you are brave, jump into the water & sandy area right in the front yard or visit the nearby beach if you prefer for plenty of fun in the sun.

Activity seeking visitors: play a game of volleyball or golf, hike, run, boat or just site see and take in the many beautiful sights of this region. Tastetesting folks: fill your bellies with a different kind of food every night - Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, vegetarian or visit the steak houses, sports bars, fish and chips spots, wineries, mom and pops homemade food joints or even the beloved chili dog and ice cream quick stop. For the rest of you: just kick back, relax and enjoy a good book by the water's edge.

We must note - if you are looking for fancy, we are not the place for you. If, however, you want something clean, quiet, cozy and relaxing... we are just that. We also realize that during hard economic times most folks do not have money to throw around. Instead of charging some outrageous price for the week like many others do, we offer our home at a very reasonable rate. We encourage you to go ahead and compare... we bet you will not find another house on the water with so much to do at such a low price. This is why we believe many of our guests return again and again.

    Dear Jackie and DarinThank you so much for your hospitality while we stayed in your cottage. It was a pleasure to meet both of you. While at your cottage, we did enjoy visiting the islands and learning about the area. As I said, it was our first real visit. I’m glad we were there early in the season, because I bet this place is hopping during the summer! The slower time allowed us to get our bearings a bit more. We did have a little rain, but having a day of vacation from vacation was just fine. We were able to do a bit of bird watching thenYour cottage was perfect for our needs. The size made it feel like you were wrapped in a comfy blanket and it didn’t take long for that Ahhhhh moment you described to settle in. The view, the yard and the sunsets were soooo relaxing. The baby geese in the front yard and the fox squirrel scurrying amongst them, gave me a smile every morning. We look forward to returning to the area and staying with you again. Next time with our kayaks! This would be a perfect home base for kayaking Thanks again!

    A hidden cottage that had a nice location. Convenient to The ferries to Put-in-Bay and Kelly’s island. Super nice beach only 15 minutes away. And not far from Cedar Pount. Appreciate deeply allowing the 🐶. Hosts were very kind. Regret not fishing or boating. Thank you!

    The house is in a beautiful location, great for fishing. We caught several nice largemouth bass right from the edge of the property. We also rented 2 docks from the neighbor that were only about 40 yards from the house.The hosts, Jackie and Darin, are wonderful, down to earth people and easy to deal with. The house itself was a little awkward. You have to go through the only bathroom to get to one of the bedrooms which made it a bit strange but with our group we made it work. We didn`t spend much time in the house except to sleep and the beds leave a lot to be desired. That is the one thing I hope for the most wherever we travel, is a comfortable bed. All that said, we had a great time.

    This property is great! It’s not all new and fancy which means you can walk in and feel right at home. Kick off your shoes and walk to the little man made beach and stare at the water! During the week it’s very quiet and relaxing. Close to everything like restaurants and shops as well as state parks! The owners are kind and the neighbors are nice.

    We felt very comfortable here, just like home. It is older has character and history, we like that type of place. The size of the yard gave us space to walk our dogs around and not feel like we were on top of our neighbors. We enjoyed the view of the water as we sat on the porch and beach area watching the sea birds and wildlife. It's in a great location and an easy drive to all sightseeing activities and restaurants. We've already talked about going back!

    Had a wonderful week at this adorable cottage on the best piece of property in the marina! The accomodation was exactly as described and the owners, Darin and Jackie, run the place like a well-oiled machine. Could not have asked for more! If you're looking for a quiet, private little getaway, I would definitely recommend this spot!

    The cottage was exactly as described and perfect for our family's week away. The cottage has everything you need and the full kitchen is easy to cook full meals in. The location is perfect since it is minutes from Marblehead, Port Clinton, and East Harbor State Park. The lake breeze was great and kept the cottage cool, but there is a good AC unit when we needed it. We hope to go back next summer.
