Cottage Custom built by owner plus 4 person golf cart included

This charming 3 bedroom cottage retreat sleeps 10. Located in Lakeside, a gated community that charges an entry fee during season. We built this cottage as our own home in 2002 with all the modern amenities yet keeping true to that old Lakeside charm. Spacious family room and open kitchen are great for family entertaining. Formal dinning room for large family gatherings. Huge screened porch perfect for lounging or enjoying an outdoor meal. Master has queen bed with private bath and walk in closet. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms both have single/double bunk sets. There is a pull day bend with trundle in the living room. The cottage has central air + washer/dryer for your convenience. Sleeps 10. Two cars off street parking. plus you can also park 3 or 4 cars on the road in front of the cottage.

Be sure to check with www.Lakesideohio.com for pricing on gate fees and schedule of events. Note there are gate fees during the summer season, Typically Memorial weekend through Labor day weekend but be certain to check lakeside.com to be certain of pricing for the dates you have reserved.

Also due to the nature of Lakeside rentals guest are required to bring their own; sheets, towels and pillow cases.

We are located around the corner from the tennis complex on 6th and the new pool complex located right next to the tennis center. Plus the widely popular pickle ball which is also located at the tennis complex.

Each rental comes with the use of a 4 person golf cart. No extra charge, it is included in the rental fee, compare this to having to rent a golf cart in town which would have cost you an additional $350 a week..

Lakeside is a hidden gem in northeast Ohio. It is a gated Chautauqua community encompassing mind, body and spirit with a large range of daily programming and nightly entertainment in the 3,000 seat Hoover Auditorium.

We don't have cable but we do have a smart TV and you can watch with your own accounts

We enjoyed a great week in this lovely home. This home was clean and well equipped with plenty of room. We enjoyed the screened in porch. There was a nice fire pit that would be fun when nights are cooler. We loved the location close to the pool. The golf cart was wonderful for driving to the pool or for shuffleboard. We loved that our dog could be with us for this week. We’d love to return and stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Very nice house in a great location!

We really liked this house and would definitely stay there again. One confusing issue is that the available beds were not described accurately, resulting in our bringing bed sheets that didn't fit. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms actually each have a double bed and a single, which is not what the listing shows.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary getaway and it was great! I grew up going to Lakeside every summer but hadn’t been there in many years and it was my husband’s first time. It was off season so very quiet which was perfect for us. The house is a short walk to the lake and town square. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. I love how much natural light comes in the many windows. The living room was very comfy for us, our two dogs and my parents who came by for lunch one day. We enjoyed eating in the screened in porch very much. The golf cart was a very nice added bonus too. We would definitely like to return to this property. Larry was also extremely responsive and helpful.

We have been taking the kids to Cedarpoint since they were little and never found a spot we loved enough to stay again. However, this is the place! Love the Lakeside community and all the surroundings. The house was well equipped and large enough for all of us to have our space.

The kitchen is fully stocked, there is plenty of space, and we really enjoyed sitting in the sunroom. Larry was very responsive, and we were even able to check in a few hours early.

Wonderful charming lakeside home

We enjoyed our stay and the golf cart was a plus! Few blocks to the tennis/pickle ball courts and pool and Poolside that has some snacky items and treats. Like others have said the kitchen was well stocked and we used the fire pit one night which was nice. Some books and games available to use as well. The side screened in porch was amazing to eat at and play games! We had a wonderful week!
