Family Summers, Big Lake Front House on Lake Erie

This property was custom designed for large families on vacation. It features 2 Master King Sized Bedroom Suites with full baths, 4 other bedrooms (2 with twin beds, 1 queen, and 1 double), 2 bunk rooms with a twin and a bunk bed, and 2 1/2 additional bathrooms. This unique property has several living areas: a living room with a flat screen TV along with WiFi High Speed Internet, the Lake Room with plentiful seating and direct views of the lake, a downstairs "kids" Rec Room with a wall mounted flat screen TV, plus 2 large dining tables, a breakfast bar, and a huge kitchen that can accommodate several cooks and a long counter for buffet meals. The kitchen even has 2 dishwashers! A brand new dual zone central Air Conditioning system... and if the weather cooperates, you can open the entire rear of the house with floor to ceiling screened windows. The great advantage of this house is that you don't have to hide in a bedroom to get some quiet or read a book... lots of space, lots of separate areas, yet open to accommodate numerous kids and adults. The house has a full laundry room with an oversize washer and dryer. We installed a special high recovery water heater and even with a full house, no one is likely to get a cold shower. Last but not least, unlike most "beach houses", no one sleeps on a pull out couch or in a living room. All 18 members of the family have beds in bedrooms.

Of course, we've buried the lead... this house is LAKE FRONT! Some years back we got permission to build two jetties and a semi-circular bulkhead with a wide concrete deck. It's 100' long! What this means for you is that when the lake has high water levels, we still have easy access to the water, even some beach most of the summer. You can place your chair in the water, on the beach, or on the concrete deck and everyone is still involved in the fun. Great for swimming, launching small boats, or water toys. You access the beach by either a stairway or a grassy ramp all the way to the bulkhead. In addition there is a nice backyard overlooking the lake with a patio, Fire Pit, table and a gas grill plus a generous side and front yard for kids games. We are located on the highly desirable Shore Drive for shaded bike rides or walks along the lake.

Minutes from shopping, wineries, golf courses, 2 fabulous municipal beaches, numerous restaurants, and 8 miles (15 minutes by car/one hour bike ride) from the famous, or infamous, Geneva-on-the-Lake with its arcades, restaurants, bars, music, and recreation areas. Don't miss Eddies Grill or, since 1938, Madsen's Donuts! A supersized Walmart is less than 2 miles away, just across from our favorite Mary's Diner (love their breakfast). Of course if wine, beer, or spirits are your passion, there are 28 wineries, breweries, and distilleries within 10-25 minutes from the house.
