LAKESIDE RETREAT-Overlooking the scenic beauty of Lake Erie, Lorain,Ohio

This Lakeside Retreat sleeps 4 comfortably and has been completely renovated with all the amenities to have a comfortable getaway along the shores of Lake Erie.
By going down the stone stairway, you have access to the lake itself , actual water level. Although swimming is discouraged , you might want to “cast a line “. Please no rock climbing!
You can enjoy watching fun lake activities from any of the three lake bank levels. The retreat’s lakeside bedroom opens onto the covered balcony above the covered patio. The Lorain Lighthouse is within sight, along with majestic sunsets, intriguing lake wildlife, and other marvels of Mother Nature. The Retreat’s large windows allow viewing from inside, as well. There is a gas fueled fire pit for your evening gathering as you wind down your day. Boat charters, jet skis, and kayak rentals are nearby. Summer concerts at Black River Landing just .6 mile away. Cedar Point and downtown Cleveland are only a 45 minute drive.

Gorgeous 5 Star
The property and owner very gracious & the pictures do little justice to the immaculate home that the Owner has provided, the Views are breath taking, the comfort is second to none, The Decor the Misses has provided makes you feel right at home. I would buy this house in a second as is, if it was on the market. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely, Capt.

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!!

Perfection on the Lake
This was my second stay here and I loved it even more than the first time. The neighborhood is quiet, the house is clean and bright, the decor is lovely and very tasteful, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen and bathrooms are fully equipped with everything you could possibly need (and my wife adored the bathtub), and the lake view is spectacular. Probably the nicest VRBO I've ever stayed in.

Beautiful home with amazing views of the lake
There isn’t anything bad to say about this house or the host. Communication was always clear and responded to very timely. The home is immaculately clean. They have thought of and provided any and everything you could possibly need while staying there. They even provide a wide variety of convenience items you may have forgotten. The home has wonderful views of the lake from many rooms and there are tons of outside seating options. The surrounding neighborhood isn’t the best, but the actual street the home is on is fine, and we had no problems while staying there. Overall, Great place to stay.

Amazing place with attention to the finer details
The place was perfect! They definitely put time and thought into the finer details of making this place a great place for short-term rentals. They had all kinds of little quirks about the place that made you feel just a home; to the point, if you forgot something......they most likely had it in stock in the house for you to use; from toiletries to feminine products, to bandaids, and beyond. Excellent host and would definitely stay there again.

So peaceful and immaculate
We’ve never stayed in a property that was as immaculately clean! The layout of the home was wonderful- but the views of the lake! Whether from the upstairs porch, the downstairs porch or the small deck closer to the water sitting around the fire pit- Heaven! Just a perfect getaway. Always important- the beds were very comfortable. We admittedly didn’t go out much, but the marina and boardwalk were a fun place to visit. The area appears to be going through some revitalization so there may be more things to do in the community as that develops. Note that there’s no swimming off the property- there’s no good transition to the lake and it’s not allowed, but it in no way kept us from enjoying to property. Highly recommended!

It just doesn’t get any better
We have stayed in many places over the years, places that cost three to four times as much as the Lakeside Retreat but NEVER in a place that was so immaculately clean. Fantastic views from several rooms. Extremely responsive owner. I hope to return here with a longer stay.

Outstanding Property
The Lakeside Retreat is top notch in all lakefront properties available. This was our second visit to this property in less than a year. The first was a short 5 day stay. The second was 14 nights. Our search within VRBO is over. We look forward to our next visit to Lakeside Retreat. We recommend this property above all others in its class. Exceeds our highest expectations!!…hands down!!

Everything about this property and house is outstanding! It is immaculate, well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms, beautifully furnished and with an amazing view! Sitting by the gas firepit with a cocktail and great friends looking out over the lake was our highlight. The sunsets were spectacular!

Gorgeous lake house and waterfront outdoor space
This 2 bedroom lake house is an absolute gem of a vrbo. The house itself is beautiful and nice, inside and out. All of the furniture, appliances, towels, and textiles looked so new and felt so high-end that it was almost like staying in a luxury resort / designer house. The kitchen has everything you need if you like to cook, like we do. The owners left all sorts or extras that most vrbo's do not, like hand soap in every bathroom, trash bags, and bottled water. The property was well maintained. The waterfront area is really cool, with a yard, a fire table, and 2 large terraces with seating, so lots of options to enjoy the views of the lake and the lighthouse. We had 2 days of lots of rain and high wind, but even then, we enjoyed watching the weather and conditions of the lake change from the cozy warmth of the sitting room that overlooks the yard and lake--and we did this several times while listening to records (yes, they have a record player!)and enjoying our morning coffee, or with a cocktail later in the day. Overall, great place, unique, high-end, and we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this place!

Immaculately cean house on the Lake
Immaculately clean inside and outside. We would have given many more stars if available for cleanliness. The house is like brand new. Plenty of towels throughout the home. The kitchen is more than well stocked with everything you may need or could think of during your visit. The views and sounds of the lake are amazing. George was great to work with and very quick to reply to our questions. We will definitely stay here again when planning our next visit to the Lake.
