About this house rental
This cottage was built in 2017 and features all the modern amenities that you would want. Our family spends some of the summer in this home, but we rent out during a few select weeks in the Spring and Fall. Linens and towels for all guests are included in the cleaning fee.
***Please note: Between Memorial Day & Labor Day, an entrance fee is required to be in Lakeside, where our home is located. Please see the Lakeside Ohio website for more details.***
The house is on 3 floors:
The ground floor features a walkout basement with french doors and lots of windows. On this floor is a sitting room / TV room, a bedroom with a King bed, a bedroom with a bunk bed, a full bathroom with glass-door shower, and a laundry room.
On the 1st floor, you'll find an open floor plan with a spacious living room / dining room / kitchen layout. All appliances are stainless steel, and there is a powder room off of the kitchen. French doors open up from the dining room (dining room table seats 8-10) onto a large side deck with another dining table for eight people. The front porch features comfortable seating including an oversize bed-style porch swing (our favorite spot in the house!).
Also on the main floor is a spacious primary suite, with a King bed and private Primary Bath with double marble vanity, separate water closet and oversized tiled shower.
Upstairs are three more bedrooms and a full bath with a tub. Bedroom 1 has a Full bed , Bedroom 2 has a Queen bed, and Bedroom 3 has a Full bed and a Bunk bed.
Behind the house is a studio-style guest house with its own King bed and private bathroom. This little apartment is totally self-contained, and perfect for a couple and a baby or for Grandma and Grandpa! It is just a couple of steps out the back door of the kitchen.
**Please note - this guest house does not have heat or water for the Fall, Winter or Spring seasons (roughly October-April). If booking during those times, please inquire as to whether this extra space is available.**
Other amenities include:
+ 2 off-street parking spaces
+ Central air conditioning and heat
+ Incredibly close to Pool, Fitness Center, Pickleball, and Tennis Campus (seasonal)
+ Ample outdoor seating including front porch, side deck, and lower patio
+ Multiple generous living spaces with plenty of room for gathering
In June, July & August, we only rent weekly, from Saturday to Saturday. Outside of those times we have a 2-night minimum.

Fantastic stay! Nice long weekend in Lakeside. The local park near the water was amazing for young kids.

We had an excellent fall retreat with 14 family members 7 adults and 7 kids (ranging in age from 7 - 16.) The house was very clean and well stocked. House was large enough that everyone had their own space. Close to tennis courts and pickle ball courts that was a big plus for us. Ryan, our host was most gracious and responded quickly. Ryan, was able to provide linens and towels to us for a fee, very nice addition and cut some of our packing detail. Very nice house and as always Lakeside is the best. 5 stars!

The HVAC froze up but the host was super responsive and had it fixed the next day. Many great memories made here!!!
6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2021
We enjoyed our week in Lakeside; the house was great - very close to tennis courts, the pool, trails, and a short walk to the pavilion, playground, shuffleboards, uptown shopping, etc.
However, and I let Ryan know, who was very apologetic and kindly waived our cleaning fee, but the house wasn't clean. I spent the first two days scrubbing the shower, vacuuming, mopping, etc. in preparation for all of my family to join because I was embarrassed to welcome them in the state in which we found it. Perhaps the cleaning crew is cutting corners? I haven't found a rental in this state before.
Ryan and family are currently overseas and it shows only in that those extra little details a nearby landlord attends to are missing - not something to be upset about, but just be aware. We didn't have any toilet paper, dish soap, clean sponges, etc., when we arrived. Ryan ordered more TP as well as paper towels, which were delivered on Wednesday - half way into our visit. No soap or sponges.
Ryan was very responsive overall, which was reassuring.
A few other things to know that we've experienced in our other Vrbo rentals that we didn't see at this rental or were not as advertised:
- No first aid kit and no fire extinguisher (that I saw anywhere).
- The washer and dryer are a little finicky and don't work very well.
- At least one of the four bikes is inoperable and another has flat tires we did not try to pump because the handle bars are bare metal - no grips of any kind.
- The main bath toilet seat is broken and rocks.
- All "extras" are missing - bar or shower soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc. - samples that you might experience in other stays, so bring all toiletries, including a hair dryer - again, just FYI.
- The main floor living room furniture is quite soiled - so much so that we covered it with a blanket - and has exposed stuffing.
These points not withstanding, the house accommodates families well and we really liked the extra cottage out back. The house also has quite a few kids' items - markers, paper, watercolors, dollhouse, games, etc., that we enjoyed.
If you haven't visited Lakeside before: It becomes admission only the Friday before Memorial Day through Labor Day. That means you are charged EVERY day for entrance. That would be roughly $80/day for our family, so do your homework and factor those costs in.
Lakeside Chautauqua is a cute and fun and the greater Lakeside/Marblehead peninsula is great - near several islands and lots to do/see.
