My family and I stayed for a week in this lovely Lakeside home. Ryan was a fantastic communicator and we enjoyed our stay very much. The home is well appointed and well maintained. Although a newer home, the design invokes much of the Lakeside charm and is very efficient (large porch, sinks in bedrooms, etc.) The many toys (in the lower level) were especially fun for our 3 and 5 year old boys! We hope to return! Thank you!

Our stay was great. The home was tastefully decorated and very homey. Everything was at our fingertips to use for cooking. It did not feel like someone else’s home. The combined spaces worked really well, yet there was privacy for anyone that needed it. I couldn’t have been more pleased with our 10 days stay. And the location of Lakeside… what can I say ? It was great!

Nice sized house with good sized common areas; the detached cabin is exceptionally a nice bonus. Owner is very quick to respond to questions electronically and nice about it too. We would stay again.

We had a lovely weekend in this home with 6 adults and 3 kids. Property as described with a well appointed kitchen and enough space for all. Small playground nearby, and large playground, mini golf, sports courts, and lake shore a nice walk away. Not much open in April, but house had enough to keep us happy. Would stay again!

It was great

We stayed at this Lakeside property while attending a Family Reunion. I was a perfect location, clean and surprisingly large. It was perfect for our family.

The house had everything we needed to enjoy a stress free few days.

We had more than enough room for the 6 of us. The house was beautiful and clean and had everything we needed! Nice quiet street, we always love spending time at Lakeside. Great communication with Ryan as well.

We stayed at Ryan's house in late August 2021. The place was exactly as described and great for our 2 families with 2 small kids each. The area was fantastic too! We loved walking down to the park and onto the dock. The pool was also just steps away. The pool hours were shortened due to staffing issues, but the pool was very nice and clean. The weather was fantastic! Couldn't be happier and looking forward to visiting Lakeside again!

The house was great and we had a wonderful weekend. House was fully stocked with everything you would need.

Wonderful home. Responsive owner. Great experience.

Very nice, clean, modern, multi-level cottage that provides an open setting conducive for family meals and gatherings while still allowing individual families with privacy for sleeping/bathroom arrangements on different floor levels and separate guest cottage. Located in a quiet area of Lakeside this cottage has multiple decks and porches that are great for sitting/relaxing and/or eating. Gas grill was a nice plus. 2 car parking space handy for unloading/loading cars as well as parking/charging for golf cart(s) if rented. Located within a short walking distance to Grindley Aquatic Center for swimming or workouts. Cottage owner was responsive and easy to work with.

Great stay at great house. Felt as comfortable as home!!! Already talking about next year!!!

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.

Nice. Only 1 TV in the downstairs that we were unable to access. Place was clean and kitchen was well stocked with cooking items. Air conditioning was great. One weekend too soon to use the pool and facility. Furniture in living room was well worn but comfy.

We had a great time for our get together. The house is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. Everything was wonderful.

This house was a great fit for our large family and in a great community. Ryan was great to work with and communicated everything easily regarding our stay. We would love to stay here again!

This space was the perfect place for 2 co-parents to vacation with their teenage, adult children and grandchild. We provided our own bedding + toiletries. We were able to create full meals each night of our stay since the kitchen is packed with the essentials. We baked cupcakes + made whipped icing! We took turns biking the area with the bikes that were available. We ate breakfast on the balcony. We hiked down to the lake. We were blessed with warmer weather our last night which gave the opportunity for sleeping in the guest house, waking up in that space is a dream. The sky-view from the bedroom atop the stairs is amazing at night, the stars are easily seen since there are no city lights. This space gave those of us that no longer live together a chance to connect deeper. Our family would definitely book this space again if the opportunity presented itself. Thanks Ryan and family.

The resort is great!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. The neighborhood was very quiet and a short walk to the lake. Ryan was also very easy to get in touch with. We will definitely return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was perfect for our extended family and the location couldn't be beat. We loved exploring Lakeside and the surrounding area. The house was great for 2 young kids (they loved the toys), their parents and grandparents. Plenty of room to spread out, sit outside and spend time together as a family.

From our communication with Ryan to the checkout process, this is one of the best rental experiences we have had. The home is beautifully decorated, in a great location, and perfect for a number of people to share time both together and apart. You can't go wrong! Thanks to Ryan and his family for sharing your home with us. We hope to be back soon!
