About this property

Glistening Gem: Lakeside Cottage

Plan your getaway to Boardwalk Village and stay in this brand new, cozy, stunningly furnished lakefront cottage on Grand Lake St. Mary’s in Celina, OH! This 1 bedroom, 1 bath cottage boasts spectacular views of the lake AND pool. Boardwalk Village, an all-in-one experience alongside Greater Grand Lake, is a walking and biking paradise. We're perfect for a unique and relaxed getaway that is still in close proximity to shopping, dining, and other entertainment options!

Welcome to Glistening Gem! A luxurious, lakeside cottage with all of the beautiful, ritzy details - from gorgeous fixtures to a sparkling backsplash. Even the walls subtly shine with glitter!

As you walk in from the welcoming covered porch, you are greeted with an airy, fully-furnished, open-concept living space that features a sparkling, well-equipped kitchen which has everything you need from making a fresh morning cup of coffee to a tasty home-cooked meal. The living room is the perfect spot to put your feet up and relax after a long day on the lake. You can flip on the Smart TV, sign in to your streaming account and catch up on your favorite shows or movies. We have also provided you with a variety of games that will keep you entertained even on those rainy afternoons!

The living room consists of a pull out couch, extra seating space and an area to dine. There is also a full bathroom stocked with fresh bath linens. You can also rest assured you'll have a pleasant and relaxing night’s sleep on quality linens that are fully laundered between each guest, from sheets to blankets and coverlets.

A washer and dryer are also provided in your unit for your convenience.

Enjoy the many perks of staying at Boardwalk Village. Not only is there a refreshing, heated pool right next door at our other cottages, but there is a beautiful, over-sized pool just steps away from your front door that you are welcome to enjoy! You can even stop over at the community grilling area next to the pool to grill up your favorite meals...play a few rounds of cornhole while you're at it!

In search of some outdoor recreational fun?! We can't be on the lake without offering just that! Stop by Helton Lodge Rentals, right next door to Boardwalk Village, where you can rent a pontoon, Speedster boat, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, golf carts and bicycles! They are your one-stop-shop to get you around Grand Lake without ever having to get in your car!

Just a few more steps and you're at Boardwalk Grill! We highly recommend having dinner there at least once. You'll get to experience fresh food, hand-crafted cocktails and live music...all lakeside!

Book your stay today so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy everything Boardwalk Village has to offer!

Cute and cozy!

The absolute sweetest cottage! Very new, very clean, very nicely decorated, with a lake view! I will say that although they said there was construction going on, they did not say it was literally right in front of the cottage. However, I believe they will be done fairly soon. All of the staff, landscapers, and workers were very kind and considerate and we thorougly enjoyed our stay regardless!
