About this property

HIDDEN GEM - COZY 1 BEDROOM LAKEFRONT HOME/COTTAGE


Our home is a very lovely, one bedroom lakefront cottage (it is a duplex) with an all knotty pine interior, fireplace, very large master bedroom, well stocked kitchen, large living room/dining room, and new bath.Charming, cozy and immaculate in a great lakeside neighborhood with neighborhood park and YMCA. Cozy in the winter and FABULOUS in the summer.

The large, private backyard and patio abuts Lake Erie. There is a large park a short walk/bike ride down the street, and a large, private backyard to watch the truly great sunsets, sunrises and sailboat races on Lake Erie.

Conveniently located, it is 20 minutes from Cedar Point and the many Sandusky water parks (Kalahari, Great Wolf Lodge, Castaway Bay), 30 minutes to the ferry for the Lake Erie Islands and wineries, 20 minutes to historic Milan/Norwalk Ohio (home of Thomas Edison), and 30 minutes to Cleveland’s Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, the Science Museum, Cleveland Indians, Browns, and Cavaliers, and the world famous Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland Orchestra, and Art and History museums. (CLEVELAND IS FABULOUS !!!) There is fine shopping, FANCY restaurants, boat rentals and the quaint City of Vermilion (complete with ice cream Shoppe, wonderful beaches and a 5 star French restaurant on the water) to visit.

Spend a day at Cedar Point, and come home to the quiet of the Lake for dinner and an evening of relaxing at the water. Go fishing in the morning, and then head into Milan in the afternoon of history. Head off for a day at the water parks and come home to a home cooked meal on the grill. Spend a day at the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame and visit the many sites of Cleveland (USS Mather, the USS Cod submarine, the many nightclubs in the Flats by the Cuyahoga River, the Science Museum, or catch an Indians game) (Cleveland really is a great city) and come home to a night of catching fireflies in the backyard, or a trip into Vermilion for ice cream or just a peaceful sunset at the water.

Our house offers you days of quiet by the water with the fun and excitement of day trips to the many sites in Vermilion, Sandusky, Huron, Milan, Norwalk, and Cleveland, as well as the Lake Erie Islands. IT IS A GORGEOUS, RECENTLY RENOVATED HOME THAT IS COZY!!! You will have a vacation to remember for always.

Paradise

It was absolutely perfect. There is nothing i can say that i would change! The neighborhood is quaint and quiet, and there is a convenience store right across the street. The real star here is, of course, the property itself. Incredible sunsets in the evening and sunrise each morning. It is unusual to be situated where you can see both! Since the property is located lakeside, it was so calming to watch the water. The accomodations were top notch, the kitchen was stocked with any and everything you could ever need. The owners were responsive and so kind.

Shore View!

This home is just feet away from the lake. The weather was not good for being outside, however a wall of windows faces the lake so we could still enjoy watching the waves, the color vatiations in the water and when it did calm down: two freighters, smaller boats, a sail boat and the birds. We had everything we needed. Kate started us out with a delicious treat! We struggled with the technology of the tv, but that is our own fault as we do not use streaming services at home and so the learning curve is there for us. We look forward to going back if it is available again.

Great Place for a Getaway!

This is a fantastic place for a getaway!! For me, it was a solo retreat to get some reading and writing done. The home was exactly as I expected. Clean, well kept up and with a very well equipped kitchen, this was a great place for a three night/four day retreat. In March the weather was a bit sketchy making it difficult to really enjoy what otherwise would be a great view of the lake. But, the wood burning fireplace was a warm, wonderful consolation! Lastly the owner was very easy to work with, alway a plus. All together this makes for a Great Lake cottage getaway!

Great lakeside getaway

Such an easy process checking in. There were English muffins and coffee waiting in the fridge for us. We would love to come back when it’s a little warmer so we could sit out back and listen to the water.

Cozy and relaxing

The home was cozy, spacious, clean and relaxing. Gorgeous view!! Convenience store across street, parks and great food nearby. No beach access on property but it was within a short 5ish minute walk. We would definitely stay again! The home is a 2 unit building so neighbors may be close, but still enough patio and yard space to share and some privacy. Host was very helpful and accommodating!

Close to the water and yet so far!

The biggest disappointment was that the stairs down to the lake was in disrepair and blocked off. The main reason why we rented this place was that we were excited to have a private spot on the lake. This should be corrected in the description of the place!!!

Great Getaway

We enjoyed this charming cottage and the quaint town of vermillion. We loved that our pup could be with us, and found everything we needed in the cottage. It was cute and clean, and the owner couldn’t have been nicer. Loved the back yard and looking out at Lake Erie. There would be a better view if the trees that grew up the bank were gone. This little home made for a great getaway. Thanks, Kate!

About the host

Hosted by kate fenner

Host profile image

WE LOVE OUR HOUSE AND REALLY ENJOY OUR SUMMER RENTAL GUESTS.
Unfortunately - during the summer months (mid-May through mid-September) we can only rent on a weekly basis. (We need to save up for the winter mortgage :>))

For a get away stay - please come in spring or fall or winter. You'll love the place - promise!!

Why they chose this property

We purchased our lakefront home years ago. Recently we gutted large parts of the home, replaced kitchens and baths and added a second story. THE PLACE IS WONDERFUL. THE LOCATION IS WONDERFUL.

Our one bedroom side provides a wonderful cozy getaway opportunity in a breathtaking lakefront location, while being close to Cleveland, the Cleveland Clinic, the islands, Cedar Point, and all of the waterfront points of interest. Our home is lovely, cozy, and immaculate. The views are magnificent and the lakefront wonderful.

What makes this property unique

A PEACEFUL, BEAUTIFUL AND IMMACULATE LAKEFRONT RETREAT IN A CHARMING NEIGHBORHOOD.
Also, our home is a duplex - so there is a mirror image house next door with three bedrooms. This arrangement has proved a wonderful option for family gatherings - particularly for two separate families - or grandparents/parent vacations. Because we have a large backyard, there is ample privacy.

SO YOU KNOW - WE STRICTLY ENFORCE THE GOLDEN RULE: YOU MUST TREAT OUR GUESTS AND NEIGHBORS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED - WITH REPECT AND KINDNESS.

ALSO, IN THE SUMMER CHECK IN AND CHECK OUT TIMES ARE STRICTLY ENFORCED TO ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR CLEANING. (If off-season - we are easy. Talk to us.)
