The cottage was exactly as described and perfect for our family's week away. The cottage has everything you need and the full kitchen is easy to cook full meals in. The location is perfect since it is minutes from Marblehead, Port Clinton, and East Harbor State Park. The lake breeze was great and kept the cottage cool, but there is a good AC unit when we needed it. We hope to go back next summer.

Great Stay in the heart of Marblehead. Great fishing right on the property.

wonderful property for a family getaway to the lake. the location is phenomenal and is extremely serene. the neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood was great for morning walks. the hosts were very kind and accommodating. we enjoyed our visit and appreciated the use of the host’s home.

Cute little cottage. Bathroom a bit too small but functional. Fire pit was fun place in the evening. Location was great with quick access to lots of fun places and great restaurants.

Wonderful relaxing week! AMAZING location! The owners were the best! So so nice and accommodating! Highly recommend!

Our trip was absolutely wonderful from the time we pulled up to the time we pulled out!!! Darrin and Jackie are the most friendly people you will meet. The house had a very positive energy to it the minute we walked in we knew it was for us🥰 Wonderful safe neighborhood ~~ the people were very nice and inviting. The view of the lake on the porch is outstanding!!!! We trailered our boat and fished as much as we could ~~PERCH were very cooperative 👍👍 Looking forward to another visit~~ we highly recommend “The little house on the lake” ❣️❣️ Thanks for the GREAT week!! 🥇. Mark & Dee

We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. The location is terrific and we really appreciated our water front get away. The owners are very genuine and went out of their way to be accommodating to our needs.

What a cute place overlooking the lake! The owners were awesome! They allowed pets which was great. Thank you!!

Cute little cottage, great view....Needs a little TLC over-all perfect little get-a-way

The house and location was perfect for what we were looking for.

We had a great time. We come to Lakeside every year for a conference for my husband’s work. We have stayed in several cabins through out the years and this was one of the best. Jackie and Darin were very easy to get a hold of, if needed, and very friendly. We had a lovely stay. Thanks!

Loved staying here. The kids loved fishing and paddle boating. We had lots of fun and would recommend it to others.

We enjoyed our week at the little house on the lake. The scenery was quiet and refreshing. There is a dock where you can sun or fish and a small sandy area for kids to play or where you can use the fire pit. The water in front of the cottage is perfect for canoeing or paddle boating and has easy access to the larger part of Lake Erie.The floors and bedding were clean. There were a lot of areas beside, behind and under that could use more attention. I would suggest that you bring additional linens, towels and washcloths. We chose to use the option of having the linens and towels provided ($50) but had to go to the laundry mat to get through the week (there were three of us). There were no linens for the futons. Cottage needs some updating (windows, screens and doors, etc). The kitchen and appliances are tiny but functional. The bathroom sink is a little challenging. The internet service is good. There is a covered porch at the front of the house that is great for morning coffee.We had a nice relaxing stay. It would have been helpful to have had an informational sheet regarding where things were located, how to use the tv and internet (password), what to do with garbage, where to find keys for the doors, contact phone numbers, etc. I was able to get the needed information by contacting or texting the owner but a quick handy reference would have been great. Overall, it seems the little house by the lake is a great for accommodating vacationers who desire a fishing/water-sport cottage with easy access to Lake Erie.

We rented the Little House on the Lake for a family reunion two weeks ago and it was perfect. The huge yard, fishing out front, fire pit in the midst of the sandy area, comfy porch furniture, and the view made for many "it doesn't get much better than this" moments.

Great location, dogs loved it, and we must have caught 50 fish between us all week just from the edge of the property. Tiny kitchen fridge but as long as you bring a cooler for your beverages it’s a short drive for ice to keep it replenished :)

Just returned home from a week-long stay at The Little House on the Lake. Very relaxing, lots to see and do in the area. Great restaurants, quaint little shops, plenty to keep you busy. Jackie and Darin were awesome hosts! Any concerns we had were quickly addressed and they were always willing to help with questions or reccomendations on places to eat or shop. Great place to come and recharge your batteries!

Loved the cottage and location was awesome! Owners were very nice. Had a great time. Would come back again!

I loved this super cute Lake Erie cottage. This is quintessential East Harbor. Peaceful and serene, outstanding yard where you will spend your time with family and friends. My fiancé and I brought our old wooden boat and due to rough weather we were unable to take it out. Not a problem because there is so much to see and do. The owners are genuine and accommodating.

While staying at this snug retreat we enjoyed picnics on the lawn with family and friends. There was plenty of room and plenty to see but we felt. " private". The marina was a fun source of entertainment. Watching all the activity was both interesting and relaxing. Nearby beach was just right. The cottage was cozy and comfy and we had everything we needed. Lots of available local day trips. We'd go again in a minute.

My family has stayed at the "Lil House on the Lake" for as long as it has been available to rent. It is so relaxing. We love it as we have stressful jobs and it's great to visit this relaxing retreat in a fantastic, convenient location. It is clean, quiet, and perfect to get away from it all. Our kids love this lake house! Very convenient location to the ferries, Sandusky, and Port Clinton. My husband and kids love fishing - perfect little place. LOVE IT! Highly recommend this property! The owners are very pleasant to work with as well.

We have stayed at Little house lots of summers and have always enjoyed every minute.Jackie has always had the house ready ,for a fun stay, the fishing my husband loves Thank you

We stayed at The Little House on the Lake in late August. Such a cute cottage rental. 2 bedrooms with comfortable beds. Nice clean bathroom & shower. Our little dog(most places don't allow dogs) just loved the big front yard. Great piece of property with a very nice view of Lake Erie. We really enjoyed the beach area with chairs on the wooden dock. So peaceful sitting out there.(we don't fish but could have easily from there). We were very close to grocery stores, and found lots of things to do. Our stay was very memorable and we would stay there again. The owners were very kind and friendly.

I stayed here a little while ago and really enjoyed it. I stayed for a week and had my dog with me. The cottage is clean and well supplied. There were even condiments like salt and pepper in the kitchen already. It was a bit much for just a single person but at the time it was perfect for me. This is a place I'll come back to and bring my family with me next time.

We have vacationed at Little House on the Lake for the past 15 years. It is quaint, comfy, and clean. It offers wonderful views of the lake and spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Being boaters, we love the location for it's easy access to the lake! The front yard and fishing out front is awesome. The property is very close to all local attractions yet offers total tranquility when you just want to relax! The hospitality and graciousness of Darin and Jackie is second to none!

We came up for the weekend with my daughter and a couple of her friends for her birthday. It was such a beautiful setting- gorgeous lake, huge yard, and the cute, quaint interior of the cottage. It was the perfect size for the 7 of us. My children and their friends had a blast! We used the paddle boat, made a fire, and just had a lot of fun! Jackie was so hospitable, helpful, and kind to us. There were tons of fun nearby activities for us to do- Monsoon lagoon, Cedar Point, and Lakeside all within 20 minutes of the cottage. Our stay went by way too quickly! The local stores and townspeople were also so kind to us as well. We will most definitely be back again! It was an amazing time! Thank you!!!

This is a great cottage for a Lake Erie vacation. Our family had a wonderful time staying at this cottage and visiting the islands, amusement parks, and local beaches. The cottage is located on a harbor inlet with a huge yard, small sandy beach, fire pit and peddle boat. The owners were most accommodating and the house was very clean. We had one minor issue and the owners came to remedy the problem in about one hour. The house has everything you'll need like kitchen items, tv/dvd beach toys, flashlights, candles and tiki torches. The bathroom and kitchen are a little small but that shouldn't matter to anyone thinking about staying at this cottage. You can't beat sitting on the adirondack chairs looking out at the harbor and Lake Erie. You'll love grilling out and eating on the picnic table shaded by a glorious oak tree in the front yard. I would recommend this cottage for the reasonable price, great location, water view and nice owners.

We just returned from our family vacation at Darin and Jackie's lakefront cottage. What a great week we had!! The owners were both personable and friendly. Within minutes of our arrival, they had invited my husband,myself and our teenage boys out on their beautiful boat for a ride!! What an added treat that was for us all!! The cottage had everything we could have needed for the week, with lots of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. The lakefront location of the cottage was both peaceful and relaxing. Even our dog enjoyed it!! We were only about 25 min. from Cedar Point, which was great for us!! There are also lots of other things to see and do in and around Lake Erie. I would recommend it to anyone heading to the Ohio/Lake Erie area!! Thanks again for a great time!!
