Great little getaway.

The house was adorable and full of al the things you could need from linens and towels, kitchen tools to beach items. A 2 min walk to the beach and playground was perfect. The 10-15min to cedar point was excellent. And the town of Huron had there River fest on that weekend for a bonus. We would recommend this getaway for families.

Perfect!

This cute little house was perfect for our short stay. It was within 10-15 minutes of everything! The owners are so sweet and checked in on us and were very communicative through the process. It was easy to find and in a quiet neighborhood. They let us use their beach chairs and toys as well which was super helpful too. Definitely recommend!

Quick sports trip

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the Rye Beach Retreat. The hosts were very helpful and quick to respond. The cottage itself was cute and nicely decorated. It was well stocked with anything you could want and the location was great for our tournament at Sports Force Park. The only negatives are that there is no dishwasher - which I didn't notice in the listing. The bedrooms are very tight with no real closets. The comfiness of the beds were ok but not great.

Fantastic property

We had a wonderful time. Location: We were in town for a baseball tournament at Sports Force and a week trip to Cedar Point. In previous years we have stayed in Vermillion but wanted to try something different and a bit closer. This fit the bill perfectly; not too far away but close enough to get where we needed. The cottage is close enough to walk to Rye Beach and you can see the lake from the front door. It was very very quiet while we were there; we had a lot going on activity-wise, but I would have been happy just hanging out at the cottage. Check-In and Host: Completely painless and hassle-free. Brad was very communicative about the timing, what to expect, etc. AC was fully on when we got there (it was very HOT outside) so refreshing to sit down and relax after the drive. A nice bottle of wine was waiting for us at the cottage, good touch. We had an issue on our last day with the pilot light on the tankless heater going out; we contacted Brad and quickly resolved. Amenities: There was enough space for my family of 5 to spread out comfortably. Nice bunk beds in one room, and two separate doubles in other rooms. One bathroom is a bit of a pain with 5 people, but the tankless water heater ensured a shower for everyone at the end of the day. Brightly colored lake-theme colors everywhere and it looked and felt very new. We didn’t avail ourselves of the loft upstairs just due to having 5 people. If there were more than 5 it might be an issue leaving the ladder down as it blocks the bedrooms. I’m certain you could figure out something, we just didn’t need it. A spacious kitchen with Keurig and complimentary coffee, large counter area, etc. I could have used another skillets for breakfast one morning but we made it work and it had everything we needed. Washer and dryer are good commercial grade with free quarters, it will make sense if you look at the pics closely. There is an outside deck with chairs and umbrella, along with a propane fire pit. It was nice to sit outside in the evening after a long day. Overall: Just a terrific property with a great host in a superb location. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and will certainly be contacting Brad again should our travels bring us to Lake Erie. Thanks for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Brad or Kelly Ruth

Host profile image
Me and my wife Kelly live in Stow with our two daughters who are college students at OU and Kent State and our son is a Junior at Stow-Munroe Falls High School. We bought our cottage 2020 because we have been looking for retreat close to home. We wanted a cottage with beach access on Lake Erie that we could share with friends and visitors to the Huron area. This cottage is a perfect for size family, plus we have extra beds and futons if we want to invite friends and relatives. VRBO is a great way share our cottage with visitors who want the comfort of home within close proximity of Cedar Point, Kalahari Resort, Thunderbird Golf Course, Sawmill Creek Golf Course, Cedar Point Sports Complex and many other attractions in the area.

Why they chose this property

This is cottage has an open floor plan. Everything is new in 2019. Granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom. Full size stand up shower. We only have one bathroom, but we installed a Tankless water heater for unlimited hot water for our guests. The area in the front of the cottage has to chairs so you can relax and look down the street at the lake. You can see the lake from the front windows. There is a deck out back to sit and relax outside. There is a one car garage on the property that has not been renovated yet, but next year we are turning that into a small efficiency cottage.

If for some reason during your stay you are missing something or you think we should be providing something that we are not feel free to call and we'll see what we can do to help you. Brad - Call or text 330.524.8205
