Wonderful

We so enjoyed our stay at 644 Walnut. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, including crock pots! Location was great, near the art center. Our kids spent a lot of time there. Lots of room to spread out in the house. Pictures do not do it justice.

Great location, big house

We really enjoyed this property for our stay in Lakeside over the 4th of July. There were plenty of bedrooms, beds, closet space & dressers. In addition, the house had lots of amenities that we typically have to supply ourselves, such as hand towels, dish soap, laundry soaps, perhaps left by previous renters, but useful nonetheless. The homeowners were extremely responsive when I needed to ask questions about sizes of bathrooms or checkin/checkout questions. The location is so perfect to navigate to all areas of Lakeside.

Great family space!

We enjoyed our stay at Lakeside because this property was so conveniently located and well equipped to serve the needs of our family with a variety of ages. The kitchen was a pleasure with multiple eating areas to seat us all at once or smaller groups inside and out. Communication was excellent and we plan to return! Thank you for sharing your home to make our family time so special.

Perfect!

We were at Lakeside for an extended family reunion. This house is open and inviting, and much larger than it appears in pictures. Convenient to everything, but also tucked away a bit, so not much street traffic. Remodeled with decorative and durable materials, but still feels like a lake cottage. It was perfect!

Nicest place I've stayed at

I booked before the property was even finished--I did that previously, with another property and got burned. This one, was wonderful! nice and new and clean. beautifully remodeled, it's on an adorable street ( as is most of lakeside) Place holds 14, but only parking for two cars, so make sure you ask about other extra places to park. Would stay here again, absolutely

About the host

Hosted by Karen Stahl

Host profile image
Karen and Phil Stahl grew up in Bellevue Ohio and currently live in Huntsville Alabama. Karen is a retired Family and Consumer Sciences teacher. Phil designs and builds space telescopes for NASA - including the Webb Space Telescope. We have three children and 4 grand-children (hoping for more). We like to travel the world – particularly Europe – yet feel deeply rooted to Ohio. Our families have been here since the 1800s and we and our children attended college here: Wittenberg, Ohio State, Miami, Wittenberg and Denison. When we lived in Connecticut, every summer we took our kids to ‘Family Camp’ at Camp Quinipet on Shelter Island. Now, we are looking forward to sharing Lakeside with our Grand-Children.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Lakeside several years ago and purchased 140 Jasmine in 2017. When 159 Jasmine came available in 2019, we could not resist. Now we have added 644 Walnut. During our weeks in Lakeside, Karen teaches craft classes at the Rhein Center. She always commented on the cute cottage across the street from her teaching area. I like 644 Walnut’s location – 3 blocks up from Hoover Auditorium, 3 blocks over from Grindley Aquatic Center and Tennis/Pickle-Ball Courts, and 1 block down from the Farmer’s Market and future Performing Arts Center. But most important is the Lakeside Chautauqua with its organized activities and programs for all ages. See their website for details.

What makes this property unique

What makes the property unique? It comes with its own 1878 outhouse and two horse barn. It has been fully renovated while keeping the core of the original 1878 cottage. The cottage we bought had 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The new cottage has 5 bedrooms, including a downstairs primary bedroom with en-suite, 2.5 bathrooms and a brand new kitchen and paved patio. The upstairs front bedroom has its own balcony.
