About this property

WONDERFUL 3 BEDROOM LAKEFRONT HOME WITH GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD PARK

Very lovely, lakefront house with an all knotty pine interior, fireplace, very large master bedroom, well stocked kitchen, large living room/dining room, and in addition to the first floor master, we have 2 new large bedrooms up and 2 new baths. Charming, cozy and immaculate in a great lakeside neighborhood with neighborhood park and YMCA. Cozy in the winter and FABULOUS in the summer. Our home is charming, cozy and immaculate.

With a large, private backyard that abuts Lake Erie our house is perfect for “sitting” by the water and watching the truly great sunsets and sunrises over Lake Erie. There is a large park for the kids a short walk/bike ride down the street. Take a snooze and catch the afternoon trade winds, or open the windows at night and catch the wind and noise of the waves.

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 northern Ohio many wineries, 20 minutes to historic Milan/Norwalk Ohio (home of Thomas Edison), and 40 minutes to Cleveland’s Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, the Science Museum, Cleveland Indians, Browns, and Cavaliers, and the world famous Cleveland Orchestra, and Art and History museums.

There is fine shopping, restaurants, boat and kayak rentals and the quaint City of Vermilion - nationally recognized as one of the top beachfront vacation places in the United States by USA Today (complete with ice cream shoppe, naval museum, wonderful beaches and a 5 star French restaurant on the water) to visit.

So 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 for a taste of history. Head off for a day at the water parks and come back 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. The combinations and possibilities are endless.

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. You will have a vacation to remember for always.

For more up-to-date information on events in Vermilion, or to just look at the pictures and places to go, please visit: https://www.discoververmilion.org - its a great web site - (better than I could ever come up with).

FAMILY GATHERINGS
Also available - a large one bedroom mirror image house that is located next door (our house is a duplex) which is great for family gatherings/reunions - particularly grandparents. If you would like to rent both units the weekly price is $2800 (Maximum occupancy is 8). For the large single bedroom side go to the VRBO separate listing #261126 for specific information and pictures. Both sides are beautiful. It is a great deal for a family vacation to remember always.

Our house is also about 60 minutes from the Cleveland Clinic - it is a perfect, peaceful place for family members or for the patient' s peaceful recuperation.

REMEMBER - THIS CALENDAR ONLY APPLIES TO THE 3 BEDROOM UNIT. Please go to VRBO listing #261126 for information and pictures for the 1 bedroom side and its calendar.

********** DURING THE SUMMER BECAUSE WE NEED TOPAY THE WINTER MORTGAGE, WE WILL ONLY RENT ON A WEEKLY BASIS. Please do not request a partial week stay during the summer. We will have to tell you no.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COMING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS GET AWAY - COME IN THE SPRING AND FALL AND WINTER!! WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU!!

Cozy Winter Getaway

I live less than 10 miles from the cottage but wanted a place where I could spend a few days with my sisters, brother in-law and husband. This was a great place for a winter retreat. The cottage was so cozy and had everything we needed. We watched movies, played games, worked puzzles and took advantage of the pool table. The bank of windows gave us a great view of the lake and we enjoyed watching ducks, birds and squirrels come to the feeders on the property. Kate was a terrific host and bent over backwards to insure our visit was perfect. The cottage is perfect for our winter getaway.

The owner told us to just bring a toothbrush and toothpaste. We thought she was joking but that was truly all we needed. It’s a beautiful place and being on the lake is awesome.

Lake Erie from Sunrise to Sunset

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home situated right on the shores of Lake Erie. We just sat in the breeze and the sun and soaked up the peace. The home was clean and generous in size. We had family visit and they all loved it. Thanks for the memories. We will hopefully be back.

Can’t say more than everyone else has commented. Kate was wonderful to work with. House perfect. Everything you would need. Location great. Ruth’s little grocery store across street has plenty of stock. Friendly people. Many of the places Kate recommended to eat we checked out and were not disappointed. Book your stay!

great stay

mostly very happy with the house and our stay the only thing I would have to complain about was that when we arrive door was unlocked and even after messaging and texting her we were never told where a key or key pad was so we always locked the front door each day and would have to leave a back door unlocked other than that was a great stay

This is our second year staying at Kate's place and it was again a nice stay. It's a great spot to relax and the home is always ready to go when we walk in the door. We had some bad luck with weather towards the end of our stay but the house kept us safe and Kate helped make us feel comfortable. We'll be back again in the future, thanks for letting us stay again!

Wonderfully restful

Cleaner than any hotel! We are OCD clean freaks and this place exceeded our standards in most ways! The beds were unbelievably comfortable. The view was just lovely and perfectly relaxing. I took my 85 year mother, who’s had both knees replaced and 2 back surgeries and she was so comfortable on the first floor. Excellent lighting with nightlights everywhere needed. The bathrooms were beautiful and clean! The host and her husband popped in a few days into our stay to pickup sticks after windy days and were so welcoming. The shelves and drawers were stocked with puzzles games and all kitchen and bathroom basics. Just opt for a season without midges! 😇

Peace, restoration, and family!

We loved our stay! It exceeded our expectations. Being on the Lake was exactly what we needed. The place was comfortable and pleasant in every way. We could gather together for a meal and quiet conversation. Our favorite thing was to sit outside in the morning and evenings watching the sun and the wind play upon the water. The bird watching too was so much fun: ducks, cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers, bald eagles, herons! The place was uplifting and restorative! It was a lovely retreat in between our daughter’s college graduation events, and great for much needed relaxation post graduation. We feel so fortunate to have found this great gem of a place!

We very much enjoyed our stay on the edge of Lake Erie. The yard facing the lake had an amazing view. The cottage was charming and very spacious. The upstairs was recently redone and featured a large game room with windows that provided a wonderful view, when you wanted to be cozy inside. I look forward to renting it again. And order pizza from Woodstock, yum!

Vermillion 2024

Views were amazing, neighborhood quiet. Master bedroom was well appointed and comfortable. Loved having two tables inside the home, and, of course, more tables outside for extra seating and room for board games and puzzles. Fully equipped with all the accessories of home. As a senior I would suggest a few helpful add-ons upstairs; mirror in each bedroom upstairs to eliminate bathroom congestion and blinds in one bedroom that doesn't currently have them. Bathroom: a shower caddy, and perhaps a folding, portable shower chair for ease of transition for older family members. Either lower shower curtain or purchase a weighted curtain so it doesn't billow out while showering; this would prevent water from going on the floor outside of the shower. Very minor upgrades will only improve this very lovely home. Special home and I will return in the future. Tranquility at its finest.

Cosy cottage with nice views to Lake Erie

Overall we had a nice, comfortable stay here with nice views of the lake, nice patio area, plenty of kitchen amenities and comfortable beds. Kate made us feel welcome. The cottage was clean except for the refrigerator door shelves. Washer and dryer worked well. The access to the water was blocked off, so we couldn't walk down to the water. The stairs leading down to the water looked rickety. The front shutter had broken parts and needs a coat of paint. The backyard / patio was nice but no privacy from the other renters sharing the other half of the cottage. However, the other renters were nice and friendly, so no problems there.
