Our reviews

Overall enjoyed our stay, parking was tight because we had 3 trucks with boats, neighbors were very nice and let us park in front of their property. Owner was very nice and accommodating. I would definitely stay there again.

Clean and comfy

This is a cozy home just one house away from the beautiful park on the lake in Lorain. We would have enjoyed it more if the porch furnishings were updated and the landscaping was better taken care of in the front yard. That said we had everything we needed inside the house.

Family getaway

We loved our stay by the lake. There were nine of us, and everyone enjoyed the house. It hasn't had many updates and the appliances are old, so if you're looking for fresh and up to date this might not be for you. Everything else makes it great though! The beds were comfy, and there was plenty of space to spread out and entertain. It was freezing, but the kids just had to get close to the lake. We might have stayed there for two minutes, but we did it! Wow, that lake wind is cold! Kelly was quick to respond too. The location is great with some very kind neighbors. We're grateful for a fine place to stay.

Wedding weekend

The house was comfortable and met most of our needs. The Lakeview Park across the was excellent. We spent a lot of time there, taking beautiful views and sunsets. Property owner is in the midst of making some improvements and I'd one of those is a handrail on the porch steps we would definitely stay there again

Family time

We live in Arizona now but are from Ohio. We came in for my moms 8oth birthday . We had some family over to celebrate. I was afraid that there would not be room but it worked out great. We moved stuff around, as I usually do. There is a bedroom off main room. We put small table and chairs for the kids to sit at and play. Lots space to sleep so that was the main goal. Everyone loved the house. The neighbors are great , very friendly. Kelly gets back to you immediately with any questions. It was a great trip.

Great location and great house!

Great house with a great location! We drove from Iowa and stayed 6 nights. Perfect size. There were 6 (ages 17-47) of us to start, 2 (15 & 50) came & stayed for 2 days. Perfect location between Cedar Point & Cleveland. Right across the street form Lake Erie. Park across the street with tennis court, baseball field & other activities. Park at the lake had a neat fountain at night & had a concert/play Friday & Saturday. House had everything we needed. There are 3 bathrooms, 2 have showers but we just used the main floor shower. Nice sized rooms. It says there are bunk beds, it's a trundle bed if that helps anyone with smaller children. Awesome front porch! Neighbor Joe is super friendly! We played cards every night before bed, table is big enough to fit 8 people. Washer & dryer available. If we ever go back to Cedar Point or even Cleveland (our 3rd time) we will definitely be staying here again if it's available! Floors are creaky cuz it is an older house but that sure didn't bother us or anyone that was trying to sleep. Great price! Lockbox with a key which is where we always kept it, so much easier & less likely to lose it... Great idea! What we did need, Kelly was right there with it. We had a great time!

Not what we expected

This location was convenient to the park and the beach area. We made the most of our visit but ultimately cut it short. The house and furniture was just not well kept. The large amounts of ductape on the sofa, dirty chairs, exposed lightbulbs, torn carpet, large hole over the toilet ceiling. It just needs so much work before offering it open to guests. We made the most of our time there. Decided to head home early. She is a lovely lady and quite sure she means well with this property but oh my. It’s ready for a refresh.

Near Lake Erie

This house is a 3 minute walk to the shore of Lake Erie where there is a beautiful park and beach area. The house is very nice with lots of bathrooms and bedrooms. Met the neighbors and they are very sweet. The owner is accommodating and easy to contact. Recommend this house for families.

A very comfortable and functional home!

We visited Kelly's home for a wedding destination weekend. Our youngest was married in Vermilion and Kelly's home was in the perfect location. We had 3 generations staying in the house and it worked great. The house was clean, stocked with essentials, and was located in a great spot. Across the street was a nice park and just a half block away was Lakeview Park and Beach. It was a wonderful place to walk and enjoy the beautiful lake scenery! We took friends through the house as they have family in the area and they were very pleased with all the accommodations. Additionally, there is a great front porch - where we spent much time talking about the wonderful weekend. Overall, it was the right place for our family.
