This cottage is adorable! It felt a little like we were back in time, in one of the original cottages of Lakeside, while still having updated amenities. There were games galore, great porch for eating and playing games, and awesome washer and dryer. The host was fabulous with communication and answering questions. A few things to note, the kitchen stove is not for feeding lots of people easily (but still worked great) and the beds are a little firm (but we still slept just fine). Many thanks for a great home!

The Shuffle Inn was a great place for our family to stay at and have some downtime. We loved the front porch and spent a lot of time on it catching up with each other and watching the day go by, very relaxing! Judy the owner was very quick to respond to any questions I had during the booking process all the way through to checking out, which was great! If you are looking for a cottage in Lakeside, you should definitely consider booking the Shuffle Inn!

This cottage was like staying at a family member's home - imperfectly perfect - it had a great vibe. Loved its history (including some photos on the wall depicting it over the years), clearly this home has stories to tell. The shuffleboard inspired porch railing is pure brilliance! Loved the front porch - we ate all of our meals out there! The air conditioner in the first floor bedroom was a bit loud, but honestly, the two fans did a better job circulating air better anyhow. Well appointed kitchen with plenty of gadgets to make meals - there was even an iron skillet in the kitchen, which we so appreciated. Location was great. The only thing we wish we knew ahead of time is that there is a dedicated parking space down the street - we paid for parking online before arriving unfortunately. Cute VHS collection for kids. Will definitely keep Lakeside and the Shuffle Inn on our list for future quick escapes. Communication with the owner was perfect and very efficient via text.

The cottage was the perfect getaway for our family of 4. Had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing weekend away. Check in was super easy and we lucked out getting to meet the host who gave us a quick tour and brief history lesson on the home. The village of Lakeside was great to bike around and the kids had fun getting in the water down by the pier and trying out all the ice cream shops. Took the ferry to Kelley’s Island for an easy day trip, and also checked out the Marblehead lighthouse. It’s beautiful. Would definitely return to Lakeside and the Shuffle Inn. Thanks Judy!

It was good

We loved our stay at the Shuffle Inn! The area was quaint and allowed for our 12 year old to bike around the neighborhood to explore solo and she loved the freedom! We did travel with two 5 year olds and a 2 year old, so it would have been helpful to know that the house is located directly on a main entrance into Lakeside that is quite busy. The house did have some issues with cleanliness; the house was very tidy but not clean of allergens and dust. My partner has allergies so it was quite noticable to him with a heavy reaction; if you are travelling with those with allergies a vacuum and quick wipe down before settling in would do the trick. Otherwise an incredible getaway and very homey! We gave it 5 stars because it truly is a wonderful stay- all four adults and four kiddos were in love with the house and everything it offered. Thanks to the owners for creating an oasis in Lakeside!
