About this house rental

OUR SUMMER WEEKS GO FROM MON TO SUN. QUESTIONS SEND AN INQUIRY. GLAD TO HELP

Rock of Ages has been sitting on the shores of Lake Erie since 1861. It is built of native, local limestone, and is listed on the National Historic Register. There simply is not another comparable home on Lake Erie. It is wonderfully unique and fun to explore. It is very solid (like a 'Rock') and in great shape, but we have renovated the first floor, creating a new Great Room and state of the art kitchen with everything needed to cook for and dine 30+ guests.


Rock of Ages overlooks the Lake Erie islands and is in the quaint village of Marblehead and is only a hop, skip, and a jump from the east gate of Lakeside (The Chautauqua of Lake Erie) in one direction and the historic Marblehead lighthouse in the other. The lighthouse is a spot of natural beauty and the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes.

We have traveled around the world and this is our favorite place on earth! Friendly, down-home people, great entertainment (at Lakeside and the islands), wonderful local history, great boating and fishing, Cedar Point, and the waves and the winds of Lake Erie, are constantly there. What a place! From Rock of Ages's tower room is one of the best views of Lake Erie in the area. Come and see!

Rock of Ages has a 120-foot spacious lakefront patio and three other patios with plenty of furniture for sunbathing, eating and gazing at the lake and watching the boats and ferry to Kelley's island. Of course, you can swim off the flat glacial rocks right in front of the house. A large sandy beach is a short drive away. We still have the original limestone fossil walkways from when 'The Rock' was first built. There is a large hot tub overlooking the lake.

We have plenty of room for the whole family (8000 sq. ft.) and lots of bed and bath options. There is a first-floor suite with a king bed and its' own bath for those who do not do stairs. On the second floor each of the five bedrooms has a king-size bed and a private bath. The third floor is great for kids. Six bedrooms surround a large common area with a large-screen TV.

There is one king bed, one queen bed, 5 full-size beds, 3 twins and 4 rollaways up there. The third floor bedrooms share a full size bath and two half baths. You have already heard about the view from the tower room! It has a kingsize bed, its' own bath, and a roof-top patio. Folks will fight over who gets to sleep there!

On the first floor as well as the kitchen and dining/great room, there is a living room with TV. The first floor also has two half baths. The lower level - not really a basement (it was the old summer kitchen) is a large game room area with a pool table, ping pong table, TV, half bath, and tables and chairs. There is a backyard patio with two large grills. Rock of Ages has a large parking area to accommodate big groups.

Although it is wonderful in the summer with the windows open and the lake breezes, we do have air conditioning. Rock of Ages can be used year round and the lake in all its glory in the winter with ice and snow is something else!! It is a great place for business or church groups or special interest retreats and seminars, for example birders or artists.

Our rates are for the entire property, not per person as in an inn or bed and breakfast. NOV- APRIL (With the exception of the holidays). I offer up to half off the regular rate, depending on the size of the group. Please send an inquiry for more details and a quote. I am very glad to answer any questions, I know it can be a big job planning for a large group or family.

There were 22 of us. The littlest girls loved their “pinky” room. There are lots of stairs, so the oldest were very happy to have a first floor suite. But you do have to be able to navigate some stairs. The kitchen was extremely well stocked! The outdoor spaces will remain in our memories for many years! There are quirks in the house that were unexpected surprises. We loved our time at Rock of Ages!

Our family of 20 had a wonderful time at Rock of Ages. The house was extremely comfortable. We took advantage of every floor in the house and thoroughly enjoyed our family dinners together in the kitchen/dining area. The weather cooperated our entire visit so we enjoyed the bbq grills, the outdoor seating and even took our family pictures on the front porch staircase. Highly recommend this property! Marla is a peach to work with.

Our group of 30+ people had an AMAZING time in this beautiful home with breath taking view of Lake Erie. The house was so well stock with everything and there was plenty of space for all of us. The game room was definitely a hit since we mostly stayed inside Saturday since it rained. Our group managed to finished one of the 1000pcs puzzle with 1 missing piece. We will definitely be back and Thank you to Marla for always being responsive.

Our book group loved Rock of Ages! Beds we’re comfortable and the waves were so relaxing! Much needed weekend away! We can’t wait to come back! Only downside is that we came during big season so they got into the house, but we didn’t notice them much.
