About this property

NEW Renovated & Cozy Home-w firepit, grill, awesome kitchen, & movie night areas

We love our home and hope you do too!

Located conveniently between Downtown Cleveland, Sandusky (w Cedar Point and the Islands), and Oberlin, this home is perfect for families visiting locally, such as Oberlin College families, or anywhere else in the Northeast Ohio area.
Great home for those who want to explore Downtown Cleveland (with the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, our world famous art museum and Cleveland Playhouse for a broadway play, and much more!) and the beautiful offerings towards the other side, with Vermillion offering one of the rare 5-star restaurants in Ohio (Chez Francios) and the Sandusky area offering Cedar Point, Various Waterparks, and access to the Islands (Kelly's Island, Put-in-Bay, etc.) And don't forget the actual city of Lorain, with its Rockin' on the River event every Friday night in the summer and up&coming food scene (we recommend Dodie's Dockside for upscale, and Papasitos and Beer for affordable mexican on the lake).

Do you love to cook? Check out our kitchen! Generously furnished with all the basics, and many of the non-basics! We have a fully stocked spice rack, Hampton forged knives and knife block, brand new appliances including a convection oven with Airfry and more, and plenty of cookware for those that love to cook and bake.

More of a grill master? We offer a brand new 5-burner propane grill with all utensils. Did we mention the grill has a sear station for those celebrating with a few steaks?

Our outdoor entertainment area located directly behind the house sits on a beautiful and well maintained property, perfect for fun games with the family. We offer KanJam, Croquet, and Horseshoes, but guests are welcome to bring their own games (so long as they are safe and respectful of the neighbors).

Want to have a family movie night? We have 2 large screen tv's to choose from!
The first is in the upstairs living room, adjacent to the kitchen and dining area. This area is also super convenient for the cooks while kids or friends watch tv, as there is a large pass through window over the butcher block countertop for those in the kitchen to watch.
The downstairs entertainment area is located near the gaming table area, and both come with google chromecast (a more user friendly roku) for all of your streaming needs.
Family or friends can't agree on a single movie? Want to watch a cooking recipe while cooking, and others want to watch something else in the basement? We've got super fast internet that can handle all that streaming and more.

Finally, we offer a massive driveway for easily parking and turning around, as well as 3 attached garage spaces for when the weather is looking scary!

We hope to host you soon!

Komfortabel, großzügig und top ausgestattet
Das Haus bietet was es verspricht. Große Räume, saubere Zimmer, eine Alarmanlage inkl. An- Abwesenheitskontrolle, große komplett eingerichtete Küche, toller Garten mit altem Baumbestand, großer Gasgrill inkl. Gasflasche. Es roch jedesmal beim betreten nach Haustier vermutlich aus dem Wohnzimmer-Teppich. In den Schlafzimmern war nichts zu riechen. Durch die Lage an der Hauptstraße war es etwas laut. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Alles lief auf Vertrauensbasis, sogar Check-in und Check-our. Alles in allem würden wir jederzeit wieder hier mieten.

Very Cat friendly
Great location, best stocked kitchen rental I’ve used, and cute as can be. However, even though it says pet friendly I did not expect it to have the worst cat odor ever. I was not able to open windows to air it out and there were no screens in the doors “Plug in’s”were in many outlets, assuming trying to mask the stench but it actually made it worse. The area rug and furniture was covered with cat hair, and the kitchen seat covers were all dirty and stained. The host was notified and said they were just in the house and did not smell anything. I don’t think that was even possible. The coffee pot had not been emptied or cleaned . I wanted to love this place bust just couldn’t

Family Getaway
Overall, the property was very nice. Everything was clean, a lot was provided, and it was decorated tastefully. The location of the property was a big plus for us - very convenient for all our planned activities. A couple of negatives… the bed in the blue bedroom was extremely uncomfortable. Also, a privacy fence would have been good to separate from the very close neighbors who do not keep up their property very well.

We fished Lake Erie in the morning and lounged around in the afternoon. Enough room to stay out of each others way. Enjoyed the place.

All went great!!!!
Appreciate you sharing your house with us. Everything was as it was described especially the spices for cooking and grilling. Fully stocked was an understatement. Overall the house was clean, orderly and very accommodating for us. We had a great time and would certainly stay or recommend to others coming to the area. Our only challenge and very minor. While we were there for outside activities through the area the weather kept us in a bit, TV is only streaming so no local channels. The host were super accommodating and responded to any questions we had.

House is nice setup
Upon arrival house is clean and we had door codes sent to us ahead of time, would have liked been asked for a code we'd like so we could make sure no one else had used it before for our piece of mind. House rules are labels on items. No book of rules or a laminated sheet of rules hanging. Ex what to do with garbage, dishes, linens, upon exit. Went to take a shower has most of the towels in basement bathroom No wash clothes! Primary bedroom bed is small and very hard. Downstairs bathroom door handle came off the first day. I had a screw driver in truck and fixed it. Downstairs bed was uncomfortable and sqeaked on any movement. Laundry was convenient and Downstairs extra space was nice. Curtain rod in main living room would come apart when opening the drapes. House was nice management needs to look into some items. It was very easy to find and lots of stores and restaurants around.
