This vacation rental is a true gem that I would give 10 stars if I could. We have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and this one ranks among the top. To start, the location is beautiful. It was so tranquil sitting on the water and we didn't experience any noisy neighbors. The house was immaculate and they thought of everything you might need, from a well stocked kitchen to the little amenities like cords in the bedrooms and living room to plug in your devices. The air conditioning was fantastic and the beds were really comfortable, which is a make it or break it for me. Also, both bathrooms upstairs had big walk-in showers, which we appreciated. The location was great, only a few blocks from main street and a half mile to the wonderful public beach. We came to celebrate our 25th anniversary and it was perfect! We can't wait to go back again.

Great Getaway on the Erie Shore

Cleanliness impeccable.Very well equipped. Great setting directly on Lake Erie Shore.Enjoyed the great views of the Lake from the sun & dining rooms and from the outdoor patio and the back bedroom and adjoining upper deck. We especially enjoyed the sunsets from the small back yard patio overlooking the lake.

Lakefront Paradise

This Lakefront house is even better than the pictures. It is the best rental we have ever stayed at. Whoever cleans the house does an awesome job. Both the upstairs and downstairs rooms are superb, beds are comfortable, ceiling fans in each bedroom along with ceiling fans in every room downstairs except the kitchen also.All bathrooms have been remodeled along with the entire house inside and outside. The 2 main bathrooms upstairs are awesome. Large old fashioned soaking bathtub and walk-in shower in 1 bedroom and large walk-in shower in the other bathroom. Appliances are up to date and comfortable couch and chair in front room that looks out over Lake Erie. Outside the back is table and chairs to overlook the Lake and at edge of back room is a gas firepit with chairs and 2 small tables. You can then walk down concrete steps to a upper concrete pad with old large concrete benches and then walk down to a lower level that is also concrete that extends to the large rocks that protect the property. Also outside is a bbq grill that is hooked up thru a natural gas line, no need to worry about running out like small propane bottles. The grill was scrubbed and clean and was not dirty or filthy. Oh also, outside the upper bedroom facing the lake is a walk out to a large balcony with chairs and table with awesome views. Quite neighborhood and close restaurants and downtown and Lakefront park with beach.Easy to communicate with owner if needed. You will not be disappointed.

This property is AMAZING! The view is STUNNING! The fire pit was FABULOUS! The house is absolutely gorgeous with high end decor all around and fully stocked with EVERYTHING you could possibly imagine. The thoughtfulness that George and Ron put into making this stay perfect is evident and there is not enough room to list them all (Bag of ice, mints, movies, games, music, toiletries, first aid supplies, even ketchup and mustard :)) You name it and it is probably there somewhere. I highly recommend this house for your next stay. It was perfection.

Lovely, comfortable, clean, well appointed, right on the lake

We stayed here over th long graduation weekend at Oberlin. Wish we had found it earlier in her 5 years. Oberlin is a straight shot down from the lake, 13 miles, an easy & relaxing 25 min The title gives our summary of the property. We particularly enjoyed the many herons and occasional osprey cruising by the water's edge up high. Lovely sunsets too! Attentive, helpful, unobtrusive hosts.

Fantastic property

We’ve stayed in rentals in San Diego, SC, NC, KY, FL, AZ & more. I’ve learned to pack all sorts of ‘just in case’ items, and in this trip, I needed NONE of them. Plenty of towels, tissues, seasonings, trash bags, extra blankets, games, outdoor chairs and cushions, local information, sewing kits, and even ear plugs. This was the first rental I didn’t feel the need to clean surfaces prior to using them. Perfect stay!

This property was amazing! It had everything we needed and was so clean! The whole house is cute and comfortable. George is so kind and accommodating. We absolutely loved the lake views. You can’t beat them! We especially loved the views from the upstairs deck. There is a great pier walk and nature trail around the pond within walking distance. We looked for birds each morning. Would highly reccomend this location to all! We hope to be back. Thank you!

Amazing stay!

We travel frequently and have stayed in a number of vacation rentals. Lakeside Retreat is by far the best home we have ever stayed in. The owners gave thought of everything. From the wide array of comp toiletries that would cover nearly anything you may have forgotten, to the charging cords; and fully stocked kitchen with standard condiments, water and anything you might need to make a delicious meal. The place was beyond clean and super cozy and comfortable. The view, even in the dead of winter, was gorgeous. I almost want to keep this place a secret, it’s that good! A hidden gem in the heart of Lorain. I cannot wait to come back in the summertime and really enjoy the outdoor space.

Valentines Getaway with a Chance of Snow

The stay was absolutely wonderful! I booked this place for my partner and I semi-last minute for a Valentine’s Day weekend getaway. We are both lovers of waterfronts, so this place was perfect (and reasonably priced). The check in process was very easy and the property has numerous amenities from bubble bath to coffee mate in the fridge. The property is renovated, well kept, and as advertised. The views of the waterfront are not exaggerated, and one can really walk down to the lakeside with ease. This place was beautiful during the winter amid the backdrop of a frozen lake. During our stay, we unfortunately had unexpected snow and the roads got dangerous. George, the host, was very kind to let us extend the trip by one day and was in contact throughout the whole process. We appreciate his understanding on that matter. Overall, this was a 10/10 trip and we hope to come back!

Another Great Stay!

Another great fall stay at the Lakeside Retreat. The view of the lake is amazing from outside and inside. We love to watch the boats go back and forth all day. Immaculately clean inside and out. Kudos to the cleaning crew! The home has everything you need and more. Communication with the owner was great. We rarely give a five-star rating, but this rental certainly deserves it. A little about the area: there is a fresh fish market, Ardick Seafood, within a few minutes where you can get perch, walleye and more. The Paper Moon Vineyards is about 20 minutes away. The Quarry Hill Orchards and winery is a fun stop within 30 minutes. Try a snoogle at Kiedrowski's bakery or stop into Marta's N more bakery downtown Lorain (although they have limited hours). And just a couple of minutes to the Marina where you can take a walk on the mile long pier. Only 40 minutes or so either way to Sandusky or Cleveland. This place is a great find!

Awesome Property Lakeside Retreat

Our fourth stay at Lakeside Retreat in the past two years is just as rewarding as the first. The owners have taken the provisions and environment (inside and out) several steps beyond our expectations. Top quality throughout!! A message to new searching tenants….look no further, you will find all of your expectations met and more when booking a stay at the Lakeside Retreat. Already we are planning future bookings at this property for 2025. Congratulations to the owners……Well Done!!
