Nestled between Lakeside and Marblehead, enjoy the serenity of our Lake Erie towns! The second floor of our cottage is your personal escape. The cottage has a private entrance and attached deck with a comfortable seating nook and dining area. Some of our guests have described it as feeling like being in a treehouse! Please note that while our cottage is on Lakeside Chautauqua property, it is just outside the fence. This allows you to easily visit Lakeside to take advantage of all of the amenities and programming when you desire, but not have to pay the seasonal gate fees for the times you are not entering. We are close to Cedar Point, Port Clinton, Catawba Island, East Harbor State Park, the Marblehead Lighthouse and historic Johnson Island. The Kelley’s Island ferry is a 10-minute walk and the Put-in-Bay and Jet Express ferries are a short drive away. We are minutes away from numerous beaches, marinas, public boat and fishing accesses and fish cleaning stations. It is hard to count all of the restaurants, ice cream shops, wineries and breweries the peninsula has to offer! Many offer indoor and outdoor dining and local entertainment daily. When you add in the area shopping opportunities from fine art to souvenirs, you will literally find something for everyone in your group!


We want you to feel at home! Our cottage has a fully outfitted kitchen, living room with a comfortable fold-out queen-sized sofa, two private bedrooms featuring a queen-sized bed and a full-sized bed, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. As long-time vacation home renters, we always wished that we didn’t need to buy a bottle of ketchup to have fries one time, or a bottle of shampoo to wash our hair twice. So, we supply all of the staples, spices, condiments, and coffee that you will need, as well as toiletries for your convenience. In addition to your private deck, you are welcome to use our outside area with a fire-pit, shaded lounge area with comfortable seating and a sunny area with chaise lounges. You can cook out using our gas grill or charcoal grill. We are happy to provide you with lawn games, beach chairs, a picnic basket and beach towels for your days in the sun. For quieter days, our cottage is stocked with games, books and tvs for family fun. We even have an outdoor projector and screen if you want to do a movie night with the fireflies! There are two parking spots for your convenience and a bike rack.

If you are looking for a larger cottage, please consider reserving our downstairs unit also. It provides additional sleeping space for 5 guests, another bathroom, a larger kitchen, spacious dining room and laundry room. It is listed under VRBO 2766867.

    The home was very nice, but Expedia gave the impression it was within the gates of Lakeside, Ohio. We were expecting to park at the rental then walk everywhere. But we could not do that since the location was more distant for walking. Other than the location, the rental was very nice.

    The place was clean, beds comfortable and fantastic pillows! The kitchen was well stocked and the bathroom had extra toothbrushes and other items often forgotten. We will definately come back! One suggestion, the steps could use grippers especially during the rainy season.

    My son and I needed a place close to the lake to stay for the weekend to go on a fishing charter. This was a great location and a great place to stay. The house was in great condition and the price was a good price point.
