About this cottage rental
Welcome!
Lakeside Cottage is a new (2021) architect-designed 2800 sq.ft. five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath pet-friendly home located 15 minutes from Cedar Point on the south shore of Lake Erie less than 5 minutes off of State Route 2.
The features of the house are unmatched, including its location less than 40’ from the water’s edge and a second floor deck with panoramic views across the water. The open floor plan offers views of the lake from the back of the house to the front. The kitchen, dining room, pool table area, bar, breakfast alcove and living room all flow together and participate in the dramatic lake view. A second level gallery space with central stairway leads to bedrooms, laundry room and deck.. Sleeping quarters include one bedroom on the first floor and four more bedrooms on the second floor.
There is also a business center, with desk, HP printer, paper and large monitor that can be connected to your laptop. (an HDMI cable comes out of the screen with a converter to mini display port cable added to that.)
The house is decorated throughout with nautical flags, celebrating the language of the sea and the close connection of the cottage to the water. Simply designed on the outside to blend into its historic neighborhood, the inside is dramatic yet extremely functional. It focuses on views of the lake, user convenience and personal comfort in an atmosphere enhancing its unique nautical environment. Amenities include a tankless water heating system to provide a continuous supply of hot water to the showers and washer, a kitchen with all-new appliances directly adjacent to the dining area and bamboo flooring throughout the ground floor.
The bedrooms include two larger lakefront rooms with queen beds, water views and direct access to the deck. They feature their own wall-mounted Smart TVs and lounge chairs. Two rear bedrooms, complete the upstairs; one with three twin beds and the other with one twin and one twin-over-full bunk bed. The convenient ground floor bedroom has two twin beds. In addition, the open plan ground floor contains three fold-out sofas that convert to twin beds and an available twin-size inflatable mattress.
For convenience, the house is designed so that no bedroom is more than 11’ from a bathroom and no bedroom shares a wall with another bedroom. Besides disinfectant hand soap, the shower and bath facilities are provided with body wash, shampoo and conditioner, though visitors are welcome to supply their own.
Outdoor amenities include a ground-level lakefront outdoor deck with grill, umbrella and lounge seating along with access privileges to two nearby private beaches. A convenient outdoor shower is provided to remove sand after a day at the beach.
The site can accommodate four cars with regular parking and up to six cars with tandem parking.
Last but not least: your dogs are VERY welcome!
(Note that reviews of the property before 2021 year are for an earlier house on the site along with a temporary replacement house in the summer of 2019 and that both have both been replaced by this new structure)

I, my daughters and granddaughters stayed for the weekend. There was a total of 7 women and our little dog and plenty of room for all. Shortly after we arrived, we saw a double rainbow over the lake through the great view from inside. The bedroom downstairs is a plus for those who need one level. We could not regulate the thermostat for heat and reached out via text. They responded right away and someone was there within an hour. It was a fun time and in a great location.

Property was great for our group, which included adults, teens, and dogs! House had everything that we needed. Location is very close to Sandusky and having a house right on the lake was amazing! Would recommend this property!

Beautiful location and great amenities! Although the outside of the property, including patio furniture, was covered in bugs and crawling with spiders, we realized that comes with the proximity to the lake. We simply didn’t use the outside furniture and enjoyed every moment.

We would definitely stay again. It was spacious and roomy for 8 people and each had their own bed, bathroom and space. The view was fantastic! The games provided were a hit. However, the price was a bit much and the furniture was not the most comfortable. But overall, we could feel at home for a few days.

Has an amazing view. We loved looking out onto the lake. The host and property manager are very responsive and helpful.

We had a family vacation with our adult children and their spouses. We were so happy that the place was pet-friendly, since we brought our dog. It was so clean and there was so much room! I would recommend black out shades on the windows, because it gets really sunny and bright in the morning. I was disappointed that I had to look at the neighbors "Trump 2024" flag, but I forced myself to look at the beautiful lake instead.

The stay was amazing as always. This is one of my favorite places to be.

The view is outstanding! I loved falling asleep looking at and listening to the water. The house is clean and not cluttered. The beds are comfortable and the pool table was great for games with our teens. The location allows for easy trips into town- we found a yummy taco place and brought food home one night. The kitchen could benefit from more mixing bowls and baking trays. If there is something specific you want to cook you may want to bring the cookware needed with you. Permanent neighbor to the right has several dogs so if you bring yours- like we did- expect some friendly barking to ensue. Communication with the property manager over a slight issue was handled promptly.

This was our second year in a row at 24 Silvern, and like last year we had a very enjoyable and relaxing time. We are 7 guys who went from kindergarten to graduation as seniors at Fremont St. Joe and have been getting together in September for 23 years. We are all in our 70's now and since we are all from the northern Ohio area we have decided that we are going to stay closer to home for our get together rather than travel long distances. We feel very fortunate to have discovered Ted's property on the shores of Lake Erie. There is something special about being right on the water. Ted is just a great host and makes sure you will enjoy your time at his place. His property manager Heather lives right next door and is very accessible to any needs our questions that may arise. Our coffee maker quit working the second day there and that afternoon Heather's husband brought us a new one. If you are considering a stay on the north coast of Ohio I highly recommend Ted's vacation home. Thanks Ted and Heather.

Perfect house for group of 7 friends and our 3 canine best friends! Great location and close proximity to dog park, pickleball courts and restaurants (in that order). Very spacious, clean and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Viewing the lake sunrises and sunsets were an extra bonus for all of us!! Definitely will be back!! Thank you!

There are many benefits to be had from this property, but I would have to say that S P A C I O U S N E S S is the first word that comes to my mind. The layout IS MADE FOR large groups. After settling in on the shores of beautiful Lake Erie, you will immediately feel the calming affect being on the water has on you. Ted, the property owner, is a great host and Heather, his property manager, lives right next door to the property. She is right there to help you with all of your needs and questions. Our group is already planning next year's stay. Thanks Ted and Heather!

This lake house was perfect for our two-family group plus dog. Lots of room to spread out, clean and bright with spectacular views of the lake upstairs and down. I especially appreciated the mud room area just by the front door where everyone could leave their shoes and beach stuff out of the way of the main living space. Kid and teens loved having the pool table!

Lake Front house
Great location for all Sandusky area attractions plus a beautiful view of the Lake and Cedar Point. Sunrise and Sunset very nice. Could have done without the political statement posted on the house next door but easy to ignore that.
The interior was great. Nice lay out with plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms. A great view of the lake from the spacious main living room area and bar.

Great Experience & Amazing Views!
The house is very spacious. The layout is well thought out and you have separate spaces even though it's an open floor layout which was great for our blended family holiday. They also had great extras for pets and thought through the kids needs. The check in was great and the view was amazing.

Quiet, location, and so much fun
Eleven if us enjoyed a fabulous weekend. Room to hold group sessions, breakout chats, and room to spread out.
The bedrooms not sharing a wall make things so quiet. Great thought and detail went into the details

Fabulous views!
House was a perfect and safe getaway for 6 adults and 3 kids and 2 dogs! Lots of beds and bathrooms and a fully stocked kitchen. The views were spectacular. House is as it appears in the pictures. Very easy communication with Heather and Ted. Highly recommend this home!!! We had the best time. Our only suggestion would be some more deck furniture to enjoy the amazing view. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this home again.

Family Ohioan Family Enjoys Lake Erie
Family of 12 (ages 4-57) found this an amazing 7 day vacation. Clean & comfortable house right on Lake Erie. 20 minutes from Cedar Point, 30 minutes from Port Clinton (Jet Express to Put-n-Bay), local beaches, great food and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend this home for a great stay in beautiful Lake Erie @ Huron Ohio.

Will not go back
While the view of Lake Erie is impressive from this property, we were quite dismayed by the lack of cleanliness. The furniture, carpets, and curtains were stained. There were significant cracks in the living room ceiling. Additionally, there were bugs all over the windows and the outside of the house was covered in bugs and cobwebs. We had reserved the house for a week but left after a few days because we were so uncomfortable. We will not ever return and cannot recommend this property.

Great getaway spot
We found this property as a halfway point to meet friends with our kids. This house was the perfect spot- beautiful views, updated & clean. Perfectly kid-friendly and spacious living spaces. A playground and small beach just a minutes walk away was a hit with the kids, even in the chilly weather. A definite gem of a house!

friends meet up
This house was half way for us to meet up with some friends. We had a few babies/kids with us and the house was great for that. Very clean. Each family had their own room which was spacious (enough to fit a pack and play). A lot of restaurants in the area that we were able to order out from, however, the house also had a beautiful fully stocked kitchen if you prefer to cook.
One thing to note if you are coming in the wintertime: the driveway is off of a small road that was not plowed. We just so happen to be there on a weekend that got a lot of snow. The main streets were plowed but the one leading to the driveway was not. We had an SUV that was able to get through, but there were multiple cars that got stuck the weekend we were there.

AMAZINGLY QUIET
Bedrooms do not share a wall - so it is amazingly quiet. The electric fireplace was wonderful - we enjoyed it each day after watching the boats going by as we sat on the patio.
We look forward to staying again.

Good stay, potential to be great
The location of the house was perfect - it's right on the water with a private concrete patio area to enjoy the sunsets. The neighborhood has two small private beaches, one with a basketball court, playground, and pier, and one that is much quieter for real beach time that are each a 3 minute walk, which was a huge bonus. The house is brand new and while the spaces are well designed, there are still some kinks to work out as with any new rental. We had to raise a couple of issues throughout the week to the property manager, but he was very responsive despite living somewhere else and the issues were handled quickly. It was a great, safe getaway during COVID and we were happy to spend time together on the lake.

Quick getaway
Was a wonderful place to stay. Our family and pets enjoyed this great property so much. It had a lovely view of the lake and met all our needs. Would not hesitate to rent this property in the future. Thank you Ted for sharing this wonderful house. Thank you to Heather and George for taking care of us.

Absolutely adorable
I am almost loathing to write this review because I feel like I am giving away one of the best kept secrets of Lake Erie. This place is absolutely beautiful. I have been to this place before it was renovated and the old place had a charm of its own. But the new renovated home is absolutely gorgeous. Located on the lake, me and my friends spent hours soaking up the sun and the looking at the majestic sunsets. The property manager Ted is an absolute gentleman who went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Cant wait to be back to this place.

Breath taking views
This was a success of a stay. After the passing of our 18 year old son, this home was a great place to breathe and relax. I definitely recommend staying here to anyone looking for a great place to relax with a fabulous view.

Location, house inside, communication with the owner -everything was perfect.
