About this house rental
Our home is a very lovely, one bedroom lakefront cottage (it is a duplex) with an all knotty pine interior, fireplace, very large master bedroom, well stocked kitchen, large living room/dining room, and new bath.Charming, cozy and immaculate in a great lakeside neighborhood with neighborhood park and YMCA. Cozy in the winter and FABULOUS in the summer.
The large, private backyard and patio abuts Lake Erie. There is a large park a short walk/bike ride down the street, and a large, private backyard to watch the truly great sunsets, sunrises and sailboat races on Lake Erie.
Conveniently located, it is 20 minutes from Cedar Point and the many Sandusky water parks (Kalahari, Great Wolf Lodge, Castaway Bay), 30 minutes to the ferry for the Lake Erie Islands and wineries, 20 minutes to historic Milan/Norwalk Ohio (home of Thomas Edison), and 30 minutes to Cleveland’s Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, the Science Museum, Cleveland Indians, Browns, and Cavaliers, and the world famous Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland Orchestra, and Art and History museums. (CLEVELAND IS FABULOUS !!!) There is fine shopping, FANCY restaurants, boat rentals and the quaint City of Vermilion (complete with ice cream Shoppe, wonderful beaches and a 5 star French restaurant on the water) to visit.
Spend a day at Cedar Point, and come home to the quiet of the Lake for dinner and an evening of relaxing at the water. Go fishing in the morning, and then head into Milan in the afternoon of history. Head off for a day at the water parks and come home to a home cooked meal on the grill. Spend a day at the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame and visit the many sites of Cleveland (USS Mather, the USS Cod submarine, the many nightclubs in the Flats by the Cuyahoga River, the Science Museum, or catch an Indians game) (Cleveland really is a great city) and come home to a night of catching fireflies in the backyard, or a trip into Vermilion for ice cream or just a peaceful sunset at the water.
Our house offers you days of quiet by the water with the fun and excitement of day trips to the many sites in Vermilion, Sandusky, Huron, Milan, Norwalk, and Cleveland, as well as the Lake Erie Islands.

Very nice cottage on the Lake! Had everything we needed for a fun week visiting family!
5.0 / 5.0
It was absolutely perfect. There is nothing i can say that i would change! The neighborhood is quaint and quiet, and there is a convenience store right across the street. The real star here is, of course, the property itself. Incredible sunsets in the evening and sunrise each morning. It is unusual to be situated where you can see both!
Since the property is located lakeside, it was so calming to watch the water. The accomodations were top notch, the kitchen was stocked with any and everything you could ever need. The owners were responsive and so kind.

Gorgeous little getaway, and greatly appreciated that they didn't price-gouge with eclipse pricing like everyone else in the area did! Great value, BEAUTIFUL location ♥️

Loved every minute of our stay! The view is breathing taking, the accommodations super cozy and well provisioned. The space lives surprisingly large -- it feels much bigger than it is. Will definitely be back!

This home is just feet away from the lake. The weather was not good for being outside, however a wall of windows faces the lake so we could still enjoy watching the waves, the color vatiations in the water and when it did calm down: two freighters, smaller boats, a sail boat and the birds. We had everything we needed. Kate started us out with a delicious treat! We struggled with the technology of the tv, but that is our own fault as we do not use streaming services at home and so the learning curve is there for us. We look forward to going back if it is available again.

My parents stayed here with us (we were next door) and they enjoyed their stay. We've stayed in Kate's home 2 years in a row now and it's been great both times. Always welcoming, clean, and relaxing. Thank you!

Our hostess thought of every little detail. The view is spectacular and even though the weather didn’t always co-operate we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Highly recommend staying here!

The cottage was gorgeous. It was a beautiful, peaceful time in a charming town filled with kind and friendly people. ❤️
5.0 / 5.0
This is a fantastic place for a getaway!! For me, it was a solo retreat to get some reading and writing done. The home was exactly as I expected. Clean, well kept up and with a very well equipped kitchen, this was a great place for a three night/four day retreat. In March the weather was a bit sketchy making it difficult to really enjoy what otherwise would be a great view of the lake. But, the wood burning fireplace was a warm, wonderful consolation! Lastly the owner was very easy to work with, alway a plus. All together this makes for a Great Lake cottage getaway!

Such an easy process checking in. There were English muffins and coffee waiting in the fridge for us. We would love to come back when it’s a little warmer so we could sit out back and listen to the water.

This lakeside getaway was perfect for our needs -- and no-fuss, no-hassle with Kate very attuned from afar to any of our needs. Perfect! Also, it was SO beautiful and SO warm (oddly) -- so being on the lake was the perfect spot. Thanks so much!

The home was cozy, spacious, clean and relaxing. Gorgeous view!! Convenience store across street, parks and great food nearby.
No beach access on property but it was within a short 5ish minute walk. We would definitely stay again! The home is a 2 unit building so neighbors may be close, but still enough patio and yard space to share and some privacy. Host was very helpful and accommodating!

Our second visit to this property. Very cozy and the view is spectacular!
4.0 / 5.0
The biggest disappointment was that the stairs down to the lake was in disrepair and blocked off. The main reason why we rented this place was that we were excited to have a private spot on the lake. This should be corrected in the description of the place!!!

The cottage was clean and the view of the lake at sunset was beautiful.

We enjoyed this charming cottage and the quaint town of vermillion. We loved that our pup could be with us, and found everything we needed in the cottage. It was cute and clean, and the owner couldn’t have been nicer. Loved the back yard and looking out at Lake Erie. There would be a better view if the trees that grew up the bank were gone. This little home made for a great getaway. Thanks, Kate!

Wonderful stay at an awesome cottage by the lake.
Everything is there that you need, and there is a convenience store right across the street if you need something.
We had a great time!

This was an absolutely great place for us. Easy access and it had everything and more for our stay. I was surprised though to find out it was a part of a house with another rental in the other side. But it was so wonderful and beautiful and clean. Hope to stay again.

This is a wonderful property for sitting by the lake and enjoying the sunsets.

This place was perfect for me; one bed, one bath, and on the water. All for the same price as a decent hotel. Vermillion is a great little town as well. I would stay here again for sure.

Spotless cottage close to the water. Great amount of Adirondack chairs to relax on while watching the lake. Plenty of games for kids and adults! Bed is super comfy.
2.5 / 5.0
The cottage is exactly as advertised. It is neat, clean and cozy. The provided towels and bedsheets are a great bonus. The kitchen is stocked better than most and clean. It is located in a quiet neighborhood and allowed us to relax and get away. It was easy to get to things we wanted to do, such as kayaking and biking.

I stayed here at Kate's place almost exactly 10 years ago. And swore then that I needed to go every six months. Argggh. That took 10 years. But the place is even more spotless and nice than before, with the renovations they've done. One of the best vacation rental properties I've used anywhere. Simple, easy, with a great view of the lake. What's not to love?

our children gave us money for Christmas to get away after my journey with leukemia and stem cell translant. So happy we found this little gem. The perfect size for two. Comfortable furniture inside and outside. Beautiful view of the lake. Sat outside enjoying nature and being together. A great little town too. Ate at The Angry Bull and splurged at The French restaurant. Will definitely be going back
2.0 / 5.0
Great location on the lake. Only problem was the a/c giving out after three days. Sleeping on the couch was okay as there are two large overhead fans in that room; however, bedroom has no fan and the air was muggy during our stay there. Owners did their best - not their fault. Would consider going back.
