We were in town for a dance competition at Spire. We loved the Buttercup Cottage and look forward to returning when it is warmer so that we can check out the beach area.The home was clean, in a very quiet neighborhood. We had everything we needed for our weekend stay.
My husband and I had such a nice relaxing time at this property. It was clean, well equipped, and comfortable. We really enjoyed the private beach nearby, as well as the fire pit in the backyard in the evening. We ran into such nice people in the community as well as their sweet pups!
Its a nice small cottage, very clean. There is no water view from the house but you can walk in 3 min to a grassy area with benches overlooking Lake Erie. If you are both brave and agile, you can, after you walk down the wooden stairs there, climb over the rocks to get to the private beach. Its a bit more challenging if you are carrying beach chairs and a beach bad but it is lovely.
This was a charming cottage for our yearly girls family getaway. Very clean and loved being so close to the lake. Sunset was beautiful. Owners were very responsive and checking in was seamless. Loved the door code and not needing a key. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Beautiful property in a nice location. Very friendly and welcoming neighbors. We enjoyed collecting rocks on the beach and exploring the local restaurants. Would stay again, thanks!
My sons and their families and I vacation together every year for a few days to reconnect. The Buttercup Cottage was located in a central spot suited for our interests from restaurants to beaches. The layout of the cottage was perfect for our needs, the back yard was secluded and allowed room for my Grandson to run and play to his heart's content. Plenty of room in the kitchen for everyone to make meals together. Meals were in the front room at the table or outside at the patio table, which was perfect size. Being newly remodeled, everything was clean, fresh and welcoming. Memories can be made anywhere with loved ones, but, this year's memories include a comfortable and beautiful place to live while making those memories. If we decide to revisit Ashtabula, OH we will definitely stay here again. The hosts? Very nice couple were here when we arrived and are truly very nice and friendly! I reccommend this cottage without any hesitation!
We had a girls weekend getaway and I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed our stay! The cottage was adorable, and spotless! The beach was better than we expected, and we spent most of the afternoon there before exploring wine country :) We are already discussing staying here again next year! Owners were great and even recommended their favorite spots to visit.
The Buttercup Cottage is great find and a perfect location for us. There's great local restaurants nearby, right by the water, and an easy 15 drive to the Spire Institute.
The home itself is so nice and the owners did a great job in every room from the finishing materials to the decor.
We will definitely be trying to rent again the next time we're in the area!!

About the host
Hosted by Dave and Kate Siekkinen
My husband, Dave and I discovered Ashtabula early on in our marriage and instantly fell in love with the town. We knew this was the place we wanted to have a lake cottage for ourselves and our two little girls. In 2019, we found and purchased the house and started renovations which took over a year! We love how it turned out and we are excited to welcome guests to enjoy it too!
