Great spot for family

Great location for a family stay. Our son’s wedding reception was at Gideon Owen winery. The bride and groom and their immediate family stayed at Millsite after the wedding. And had a great home cooked breakfast together the next morning — so much better than a hotel and hotel breakfast. A very comfy and “family like” setting. Pet-friendly was a big plus! The owners were amazing to work with and we’ll find a reason to come back. We loved every minute of our time there.

What a perfect spot!

My son was playing in a baseball tournament at Cedar Point and we were looking for a listing that could accommodate the team. Millsite Lodge more that fit that bill. Between the Homestead and the Stables, there was plenty of room for everyone. The property was clean, spacious and very relaxing. We could not have asked for a better experience! We will definitely be booking again.

About the host

Host profile image
My mom and dad purchased Millsite with family in mind. They have six girls (of which I am the oldest), husbands, 20 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren with more on the way.
While you are here, you will absolutely come across family members. You could see my mom planting flowers, sisters painting rooms, nieces and nephews raking leaves, or my dad on his tractor. We are a family dedicated to one another and committed to making your stay memorable.

Why they chose this property

Our family fell in love with Millsite . The great big sycamore trees (General McArthur planted one of them), the rippling creek, the 1/4 mile long evergreen lined driveway, the eagles, the fire pit; all draw family and friends together to spend much needed time away to enjoy the beauty of nature and the simple joy of togetherness.

What makes this property unique

Millsite has a rich history. It began as a family farm in the 1880's. The Homestead was the original farmhouse. The guessed horse stables. The double dutch doors can still be opened for great photo ops. The Lodge was the barn yard. Around 1940's , the Levitt's family purchased the farm and turned it into a hunting/fishing lodge for Owens Illinois (Toledo glass company), where they hosted General McArthur, Jackie Gleason, Joan Crawford and scores of executives from companies that would be in need of glass products.
