It was everything and more

I live in the area so it was like a hidden jem for me. It had all amenities you need and ones you didn't think of. The scenery and nature was BEAUTIFUL. This was my first time renting a house and i think i will never go back to hotels again.

Comfortable Retreat

We stayed for two nights on a recent visit to Cleveland. The house was fantastic, clean and comfortable. It was cold outside but the wonderful view of the lake was what we needed to rest. We plan to be back! Thank you George!

Amazing stay!

We travel frequently and have stayed in a number of vacation rentals. Lakeside Retreat is by far the best home we have ever stayed in. The owners gave thought of everything. From the wide array of comp toiletries that would cover nearly anything you may have forgotten, to the charging cords; and fully stocked kitchen with standard condiments, water and anything you might need to make a delicious meal. The place was beyond clean and super cozy and comfortable. The view, even in the dead of winter, was gorgeous. I almost want to keep this place a secret, it’s that good! A hidden gem in the heart of Lorain. I cannot wait to come back in the summertime and really enjoy the outdoor space.

The best getaway

George is a wonderful host. He is attentive to every detail. The home is on the water so the views of the lake are magestic. The house felt as if we were the first guests! It was clean and had all the amenities we needed to relax and just enjoy the view!!

This is our second time staying here and it was even better than the first (which was also awesome)! Beautiful and clean like last time but a few more kitchen amenities were provided, and the weather cooperated for us more this time. Highly recommend this rental!!

Perfection on the Lake

This was my second stay here and I loved it even more than the first time. The neighborhood is quiet, the house is clean and bright, the decor is lovely and very tasteful, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen and bathrooms are fully equipped with everything you could possibly need (and my wife adored the bathtub), and the lake view is spectacular. Probably the nicest VRBO I've ever stayed in.

Valentines Getaway with a Chance of Snow

The stay was absolutely wonderful! I booked this place for my partner and I semi-last minute for a Valentine’s Day weekend getaway. We are both lovers of waterfronts, so this place was perfect (and reasonably priced). The check in process was very easy and the property has numerous amenities from bubble bath to coffee mate in the fridge. The property is renovated, well kept, and as advertised. The views of the waterfront are not exaggerated, and one can really walk down to the lakeside with ease. This place was beautiful during the winter amid the backdrop of a frozen lake. During our stay, we unfortunately had unexpected snow and the roads got dangerous. George, the host, was very kind to let us extend the trip by one day and was in contact throughout the whole process. We appreciate his understanding on that matter. Overall, this was a 10/10 trip and we hope to come back!

Awesome Property Lakeside Retreat

Our fourth stay at Lakeside Retreat in the past two years is just as rewarding as the first. The owners have taken the provisions and environment (inside and out) several steps beyond our expectations. Top quality throughout!! A message to new searching tenants….look no further, you will find all of your expectations met and more when booking a stay at the Lakeside Retreat. Already we are planning future bookings at this property for 2025. Congratulations to the owners……Well Done!!

Amazing place with attention to the finer details

The place was perfect! They definitely put time and thought into the finer details of making this place a great place for short-term rentals. They had all kinds of little quirks about the place that made you feel just a home; to the point, if you forgot something......they most likely had it in stock in the house for you to use; from toiletries to feminine products, to bandaids, and beyond. Excellent host and would definitely stay there again.

Gorgeous 5 Star

The property and owner very gracious & the pictures do little justice to the immaculate home that the Owner has provided, the Views are breath taking, the comfort is second to none, The Decor the Misses has provided makes you feel right at home. I would buy this house in a second as is, if it was on the market. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely, Capt.
