About the host

Hosted by Trudi Westendorf

Host profile image
We're the Westendorf's, and we are so excited to be part of the Lakeside Community. Our family of 4 visited for the first time in 2018 and instantly feel in love with the magic of Lakeside.

Simply stated, there is something for everyone and a slower pace where the days go by quickly, and we accomplish nothing except for spending time together, relaxing and rejuvenating.

Enjoy “Upside” our new family cottage in the heart of Lakeside steps from the pool and our families favorite; the pickleball courts.

Why they chose this property

Start your morning on the front porch, perfect for enjoying coffee from Coffee and Cream and fresh donuts from The Porch, two Lakeside favorites!

“Upside” is conveniently located just steps from the Grindley Aquatic Center and pickleball courts and is just a few blocks away from the lakefront, where you can walk along Ohio’s Most Beautiful Mile or rent a kayak, sailboat, or paddle board.

The kids can enjoy one of the nearby lakefront playground areas, a game of mini golf, or the teen center. Visit the shuffleboard courts for a favorite Lakeside family pastime.

Take advantage of the mini golf cart shuttle stops located throughout the community. Golf carts can also be rented through Sypherd Cycles & Rental Center. There is parking for two cars in front of the cottage, which is a bonus as parking is limited within the gates!

Come and discover the magic of Lakeside. See why families return year after year to vacation in this historic gated cottage community on Lake Erie, where time slows down. You will find quaint shops, restaurants, and activities for all ages.

Many of the homes are owned by families with connections to Lakeside that go back more than 3 generations. Even if this is your first visit to Lakeside, you will quickly feel the strong sense of tradition and deeply held community spirit.

The Chautauqua summer season runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day and requires additional admission and parking to enter the gates. These passes allow you to enjoy a wide variety of amenities, activities, and experiences. Be sure to visit lakesideohio.com for current fees and options to purchase ahead of time to reduce wait time at the gates. Also check the Calendar of Events on the website to find the latest arts programming, entertainment, and events.

What makes this property unique

During the Lakeside season (Memorial Day – Labor Day) hundreds of arts programs, entertainment, and activities are available to all guests. Daily gate fees are required. Visit lakesideohio.com for current fees.

Be sure to pick up the newspaper on the way in the gates and join the email list lakesideohio.com to stay up to date.

We are excited to make Lakeside and “Upside” your home away from home for years to come!
