Great getaway spot!

The house is easy to find, has a gorgeous view and includes everything you need for a great getaway. I took my Mom for her 79th birthday and we explored the town and the Arboretum (note - $20 per person) and hung out at the house to watch the sunsets.

Great place and even better view

We really enjoyed our time at Lydia's cottage. The view of the lake from the back yard was great. Inside, the cottage was very clean and nicely decorated. It was also great to meet Lydia while we were there. We will be back again next year.

Perfect little lakeside cottage

This was my annual sibling trip with my brother. We chose Lydia’s place because we wanted to stay on the lake AND it’s close to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Y’all, it’s perfect! Love being able to have coffee and evening cocktails while watching the sunset. Lydia and her family were such wonderful welcoming folks. People were always friendly every where we went. We highly recommend this spot.

About the host

Hosted by Lydia Elaine Reagan

Host profile image
My husband and I live to the west of the cottage. When it was for sale, we originally bought it so that our five out of town grandchildren would be able to stay with us when they visited from CA and MA. I love decorating and shopping for vintage furniture and so the six months it took to renovate the cottage was very enjoyable. Soon after, we realized the many benefits of sharing it with the wonderful people we have met since renting it as a vacation spot for those who also enjoy the views of Lake Erie. Also, I must admit the grandchildren are now in their 20's and do not visit as often as they use to!! Luckily we have two in town that visit often. We really enjoy being grandparents and hosting our cottage visitors.

Why they chose this property

Besides being on the edge of Lake Erie, our cottage is located in a quiet neighborhood where walkers are welcome. Osborne park at the end of the street provides a pool, tennis courts, walking path, and sports fields. A beautiful ice cream store is also very close by. Downtown Willoughby is a 5 minute drive and provides boutique stores and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Definitely the location on the beautiful shores of Lake Erie. Also, the friendly city of Willoughby which includes a downtown with many stores and local entertainment in the city park.
