The first of two side-by-side living rooms is furnished with a cozy sofa and two chairs, one of which is situated in a sunny alcove with stained glass windows, perfect for curling up with a good book. The large HDTV invites you to relax with a beverage and a snack while you stream your favorite new bingeable show. Either way, this welcoming space will surely become one of your favorites. The second living room is perfect for quiet conversation, set up with a sofa and two chairs facing each other. A great spot for planning your next day s activities!

Please note that the garage is not heated.
Peak & Non-Peak Season

Cooking & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen at Ross House has an appealing rustic vibe and will be a joy for your family chef. Here, he or she will enjoy the use of stainless steel appliances, solid surface counters, beautiful tiled backsplash and plenty of storage space. Warm wood cabinets add to the aesthetic appeal of this welcoming room. A moveable kitchen island with a stainless steel top is also available for your convenience. The family can enjoy full meals together in one of the adjacent dining rooms, the first with a decorative cozy fireplace for ambiance and the second with a TV if you simply must check the scores during dinner.
Bed & Bath
The first level of the Ross House features a primary suite with a beautiful queen sleigh bed, nightstand with lamp and seating area. The ensuite bath offers a walk-in shower. Another full bath with a clawfoot tub and shower is on the first level. The remaining 6 bedrooms are on the second level and share two full baths, both with walk-in showers.
Outdoor Spaces
Enjoy a lazy day at the pool and basking in the sun in one of the outdoor loungers. If the mood strikes later in the day, challenge a family member to a fun game of horseshoes or basketball. In the evening, break out the graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows for s'mores over the fire pit!

Summary of reviewsThe properties were comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped. The outdoor amenities like pool, hot tub, and fire pit were highlights, providing endless fun and relaxation for families and groups.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
The location is great - easily walkable to the beach and downtown. Check-in was very easy. Everyone enjoyed the pool, fire pit, pool table and ping pong table. There were a lot of pool floats in the garage as well as sand toys and a beach wagon. The fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2024
This property was very comfortable for a big group. There is a great pool, several outdoor porches and a firepit, and a barn with a pool table. It is close to town and the lake. The rooms were comfortable. The six bedrooms upstairs all had fans as well as a/c and were nice and cool. I worried that an older home may not be cool upstairs but that was not the case. We had 14 people and with the four different shower/bathrooms it was no problem. Great time with all ages in our family.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jan 2024
This house is comfortable, warm and spacious. The location to downtown, parks and shoreline is perfect. Every bed was a welcome retreat. We will return to this house that accommodates 10+ adults and a toddler.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
The pool was very nice and the proximity to the beach was convenient but this house is VERY worn out. There was a plumbing leak that soaked the old carpet heading into the kitchen, that you had to walk through several times a day. We complained and they came out and dried the carpet, but it was wet later that evening. Very awkward layout of the floors and closed doors. We have rented several houses in SH, but you do not get your money's worth with this house.
