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. Most importantly, dont forget to take in the breath taking sunsets at the end of each day!

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!
We love this property so much. The view is incredible and the hosts could not be nicer. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

You are so welcome Suzanne!! We love that you all had a great stay and hope you come back to stay at the Braxton Lake House again! Have a great rest of your year!
What a great cottage! Has everything you need and an absolute perfect view of the lake. Hosts were attentive to communications and kind. Recommend highly!
My wife and I absolutely loved this cozy lakeside home! The view was the main attraction at first, but the owners are amazingly responsive (we had to last minute change dates and they took care of us instantly), and the property had all the comforts to make us feel at home. Highly recommend a stay, we can’t wait to come back again!

We loved this property so much that it was our second time staying here. The outdoor space is gorgeous with the best sunset I’ve seen on Lake Erie. The house is wonderfully kept and owners are so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

Thanks for the great review and are looking forward to having you back again this summer!!
The Braxton Lake House was a wonderful place to stay. I was in town for work. It was quiet, clean, and real cozy. Hoping I can stay here again during the warmer months. I would have loved to spend a warm evening out back grilling and hanging out by the lake. Communication was great with the owners.

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!

Hi Arlene! We are so glad that you all had a great weekend for such a special occasion! Best of luck to your daughter on her next chapter!

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.
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!
