Cozy lake house with spectacular views and private access to the lake

Welcome to our home! It is a two bedroom, one bath, ranch with a basement that has been transformed into a functional living space. After a long day of enjoying Lake Erie, you and your guests can rest your bones in our newly updated bedrooms. The cozy master bedroom offers one queen bed and the spare bedroom offers one full bed, where you will wake up to a stunning view of the lake. You can also enjoy this same spectacular view from the large sliding glass door in the living room, which provides an additional queen bed in the pull-out sofa sleeper. When it is time to enjoy everything this property has to offer, you can enjoy a day on the lake from the beautiful back yard on one of our two decks, which offer private, walk-in lake access.

We had the most fantastic stay! I grew up nearby and it was wonderful to share the lake with our kids. The house is super clean and absolutely adorable. The view and access to the water can't be beat! We will definitely return next summer!

Great view!

We were visiting Ohio from Los Angeles and needed a place to stay that was close to family but also served as a nice retreat. This house was perfect for us. The view was wonderful to wake up to, and the home is a short drive away from cute downtown Vermillion, which has several restaurants and a nice little coffee shop. Highly recommend this house if you are staying in the Vermillion area.

Second visit just as wonderful as the first!

This was the second time my mother and I stayed in this lovely home. I won't write another long review (you can see my last one posted in 2022) because everything was exactly the same! Great house, beautiful view, immaculate (and I mean SPOTLESS), couldn't ask for more. We highly recommend this home! Hope to come again next year! Absolutely love it! :-) Linda & Virginia Dayton, Ohio

Can't wait to return next year!!!!

Hmmm....do I write a novel, or just CliffNotes? It was FANTASTIC. My 79-year-old mother and I (age 57) stayed at a house in Vermillion in 2021 and it was a disaster. This year, we chose this property and couldn't have been more pleased. The owners were cooperative and welcoming. Upon entering the property, we were greeted with a note and a bottle of wine in the kitchen. The house was immaculate, tastefully decorated and very functional (the house we stayed in the year before had every surface covered with knickknacks and there was nowhere for us to put our things). The beds were clean and the mattresses were SO comfortable! In one room, there was a basket filled with all the things "we might need"...and we did need a couple of things. Very thoughtful! Fully-stocked kitchen as far as cutlery/plates/mugs/glasses(plastic and real glass)/utensils/pots/pans/dish towels/foil/plastic wrap, etc. Everything you could possibly need was provided. The outside of the house was very pretty. The grass was treated (we weren't eaten alive by bugs) and the view of the lake from the two rear decks was breathtaking. There was access to the lake from the stairs at the end of the property, but we didn't go down. The weather was a bit cloudy/windy for part of our stay, but we did see an awesome sunset and sunrise (got up at 5:30 a.m. to see that with mimosas)! An eagle soared above our heads (surprising low) one day, and there's a crane that comes at dusk and sleeps on the concrete wall that extends out into the water from the property next door. We didn't use the fire pit, grill, or bicycles, but I would have used them all if I'd been with a different traveling companion. Vermillion is an adorable town with great food, quaint shops, and a few small beaches. If you're looking for a swimming beach that's a little bit larger and sandy, be sure to check out Lakeview Park with its rose garden, cafe (delicious Lake Erie perch!) and beach. It's about 15 minutes out Route 6 in Lorain. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this property and can't wait to return next year! Thank you for everything!

Summer Breeze at Lake Erie

Craig and Kari are excellent hosts! This is our second year staying at their home and it was just as clean and nice as last year. They care about their guests, we had a bad storm and the electricity went out they called to check on our safety and told us again where the lanterns were. What a great week!

Best home ever away from home!!!

Kari and Craig we are positive, have the most comfortable, totally ready for us or anyone lake front property that could be found off of Lake Erie Vermillion. They are the most accommodating hosts ever. This was our second stay there and we plan to come back again in the Fall. I miss it already . The view is spectacular!!!

A Week at the Lake Cottage

We enjoyed our weeklong stay in this cottage on Lake Erie. It was very clean and had a beautiful view and a great deck on the water and fantastic sunsets. A few things that others may find helpful: Listing should say dining table is in the basement. The coffee lover of us prefers having brewed coffee instead of coffee from a Keurig machine. A simple " Mr. Coffee" type would be a good addition. The price of the cottage is a bit more than others with the same or more space offered. Overall, it's a great place to stay! Convenient or not far from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cedar Point Amusement Park and about an hour from the Ohio State Reformatory where most of the movie, The Shawshank Redemption, was filmed, now an interesting museum in Mansfield, Ohio. The owners of the cottage were very helpful and quick to respond to our questions in setting up the reservation.

This was our 2nd trip to Braxton Cottage, and it was just as wonderful. Clean, convenient, well appointed and the owners are thoughtful and communicative. We spent hours just enjoying the beautiful yard and staring out at the water. 100% a fantastic stay!

Another Fantastic Stay

This was our second stay at the Braxton Lake House and it was just as great as our first stay- maybe even better. We enjoyed the new changes that have been made since we stayed last year. And we just love the location on the lake, even during the “off-season, ” which is still lovely. We really need to find a time to come stay during the “on-season” soon. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely little house on the big lake with us.
