The cottage is darling! It has the Lakeside feel to it. We absolutely loved it. The front porch and swing were our favorite parts. The location is perfect- close enough to downtown and the pool to walk. We can’t wait to go back!

We enjoyed our stay at this perfectly located cottage at Lakeside. Very quaint and comfortable. Easy to access, all amenities that we needed. The beds are very comfortable. Our only downside was the smell of skunk emanating from the kitchen area. We enjoyed the screened porch very much! Perfect for weekend getaway, as we love Lakeside

We were disappointed that the owners did not disclose that a laptop was needed to use the TV. There was a storm the day we checked in and we had no TV and there is no radio. The 'linen service' was extra so you had to make the beds as the beds had no sheets or pillowcases. Also, only a couple of the heaters worked. The place was tired looking. We felt this property was misrepresented and over-priced.

Enjoyed the back porch. Area was quiet except for neighbors 2 doors down. Cleaning staff needs to check when light bulbs out..
We changed bulbs in kitchen. Bathroom shower handle is stripped, luckily partner was knowledgeable about moving handles to turn on off cold and hot,

Perfect cottage for our family of four with all we needed for a long weekend get away. Great location - close to the town center. We will be back!

This is a wonderful home to relax in. The location is close enough to walk to the center to town but far enough away from the activities to enjoy quiet time. The front porch and the balcony off the master bedroom were great.

I am 61 years old and have been coming to Lakeside, Ohio since I was an infant. This cottage epitomizes Lakeside for me. Just the smell when we walked in the door brought back so many memories. With 3 different porches to choose from, it was hard to decide which one I wanted to enjoy while reading my book. Loved it here!

We have had a great stay here. The cottage is very cute and quaint. Super close to the water. It suited our needs for our short stay and our kids were thrilled to call this our adventure home for 3 1/2 days!

We chose this rental because we were picturing warm weather and spending lots of time outside. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. It does not have a tv which I wasn’t aware of but other than that it is a great place to stay especially in warm weather. The owner was very helpful and offered us extra items to make our stay more comfortable.

We loved our stay here this past weekend. Gwen was really nice and responsive. The location was perfect and the house is clean and adorable! We can’t wait to stay here again!
