DIRECTLY on Lake Erie's shoreline, cantilevered just 20' above the water. Completely private waterfront escape. Experience the sound of the waves and unbelievable sunsets for a truly relaxing getaway.

The meticulously designed interior blends the timeless charm of mid-century modern architecture with high-end luxuries. Kick back & relax while savoring the view or whip up a meal in the gorgeous kitchen.

Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a unique spot for a photoshoot, The Lake House is the place to be.

Originally designed in 1956 by world renowned architect J. Byers Hays (Cleveland Museum of Art, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Cleveland Municipal Stadium) this post and beam MCM marvel was restored and reimagined by artist and designer Conor O’Malley of CONOR Design/Build in 2023.

The interior boasts incredibly unique features that Hays, who is credited with bringing modern architecture to northeast Ohio, thought were the most special and ambitious of his residential designs.

Experience luxury and breathtaking views in this 950-sq ft home.

Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open floor plan kitchen and living space with natural light, showcasing 20-ft ceilings and unbeatable views of Lake Erie. The Lake House boasts mesmerizing views & dreamy sunsets.

Relax in the conversation pit seating, or step onto the cantilevered wraparound deck. Enjoy privacy in this impeccably designed space, featuring all new interiors.

The cozy primary suite boasts high-end finishes and an en suite bathroom as well as a TV.

The loft has two full beds. It is a true loft peak ceiling, located above the primary suite. Adults can stand up in the center. Loft space not included in the 950 sq ft measurement. Ladder access up to the loft.

Additional half bath off of the living space.

The Lake House is a 10-minute drive to Ohio City, Gordon Square's Arts District and Edgewater Park. It is 15 minutes from downtown (and Browns/Cavs/Guardians' stadiums), The Flats, Irishtown Bend, Tremont, and Playhouse Square's theater district. It's 20 minutes from CWRU, Cleveland Clinic Main Campus, UH, Severance Hall, and Little Italy on the east side. And it's 30 minutes from Cuyahoga National Valley Park, with other incredible Cleveland Metroparks much closer.

For access, there are 60-some steps down the hill. It's a small price to pay for a slice of paradise! Think of it as a built-in fitness routine. And just imagine the view waiting for you! There is also a ladder to access the 2nd bedroom.

Entire home access to The Lake House and deck. Tucked away down the hill with great privacy. This is the only structure that sits down at the water in this area, so you have unobstructed views.

    To say this stay was terrible is understating things. This host invaded our privacy, broke the law by shutting off the heat when we had children in the house (we had to call the police to get it back on), then after we stayed a single night he REFUSED to refund any of the prepayment. During all this time he never gave us any warnings of his intent to evict us and refused to answer the phone. DO NOT RENT FROM HERE IT IS NOT WORTH IT. THIS HOST WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. and VRBO can do nothing to get it back.

    This Lakepark house was worth every penny. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and felt so peaceful and serene exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect, close to everything yet tucked away enough to feel private and quiet. Our host was incredible: welcoming, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth stay. We can’t recommend this place enough and would absolutely stay here again!

    My husband and I so loved our first night of a three night stay in this architecturally amazing Lake House on the shores of Lake Erie. WE didn't invite our son, daughter and six year old grandson to join us until the following day -- Highly recommended !We negotiated the move in well and the relaxed to watch the sunset. Well mother nature had more in store for us ! We did see the beginning of a sunset which was quite stunning, but then as only shallow Lake Erie knows how to do -- a storm rolled and kicked up the show to an un-paramounted level. The lightening started to the south when we were sitting outside on the lovely cushioned seating area. Eventually raindrops sent us inside, which in a regular old lake house would end much of the visuals -- but not in this house! It was the most spectacular show I have seen since July 4, 1969. (Where were you on that date in history?) The lightening was spectacular all night long . We watched and then decided to recline on the floor to get the full effect. We have been storm watcher even on Victoria island on the Pacific, but I challenge any one to have a better light show than this. Remarkably-- we had forecasts for rain storms all weekend, but as I have often witness, they usually come across Lake Erie at night, so it doesn't spoil your daytime fun. Just like Camelot -- The rain may never fall 'til after sundown, by 8 the morning fog must disapear. In short there's simply not, a more congenial spot, for happily-ever

    This beautiful lakeside home is a perfect spot to rejuvenate and reconnect. Sunrise and sunset on the deck and the comfort of the home has a way of taking you away from the city. Our hosts are beyond accommodating! We “Vrbo” a lot and believe this residence is a definite repeater!

    The Lake House was the perfect escape for us. All the serenity that an ocean front view property could offer, while having the convenience of being just a short drive away, on Ohio’s North Coast!

    The Lake House is incredibly peaceful and relaxing with incredible views of Lake Erie. The Lakewood area is quiet/suburban with everything you need. While staying at the Lake House we enjoyed the deck, watching boats, jet skis, and listening to the waves. The house has a great design and all the comforts you need for relaxing and unwinding.

    Loved our stay at the lake house! Spectacular take your breath away views. Got to see the Northern Lights over Lake Erie. Woke up to the waves crashing and bald eagles. Would have paid double for this experience. Would come back.

    Owners had excellent communication! Check in/out was a breeze. They had a nice informational sheet in the house! Location, location, location! The town of Lakewood had a small town family feel yet close to everything!! Be prepared for the steps to & from the house, once you master that the views are breathtaking! That wrap around porch was to die for! Everything was top notch inside & out! We've let family & friends know of this property in hopes they will experience what we did during our stay!! Thank you thank you!
