About this property

Charming Lakeview Cottage w/Water View - Pet Friendly

Welcome to The Gingham Goose - a boho lakeside cottage with the charm of a vintage cabin, but the comforts of a modern space.

Set aside in a peaceful nook in a quiet neighborhood, one could spend a lazy day collapsed in our four seasons-cozy home, chasing lake fun, relaxing by the fire or cruising the area on our electric scooters.

This beloved home is almost 100 years old, so she has her quirks, but that's part of her magic. The house is especially unique in that it is season-proof, with the warming accents of a winter cabin getaway as well as the typical summer feels you would naturally get in a lake house. Pet friendly home with substantial discounts for long-term stays.

Roomy enough for six, but perfect for a romantic couples' retreat.

Really enjoyed the living room and the views! The fireplace made the space super cozy and the candles were a nice addition. Only issues that I had were the ants in the home. I have the same issue from time to time and I know they are super hard to get rid of. I needed to use the washer but I opened the lid and the washer was full of water and clothes. Outside of those issues I enjoyed the stay!

From the entrance to the exit, this charming Gingham Goose Lakeview Cottage was covered from head to toe in character for the season. From the geese that fly overhead to the comfy beds; the blackberry scented whip cream hand soap and plush bath towels; a cup of Keurig coffee with a cozy throw blanket curled up on a leather recliner with many choices of a good book; a movie streaming afternoon siesta on the comfy boho couch with pillows; a puzzle moment to put together on the ample table space in the elongated sunroom where you could invite family and friends; top it off by the toasty fire and with patio lights and chairs adds to the omniscience of a peaceful evening. Cooking (kitchen staples), cleaning (washer n dryer), or meeting the needs of your every whim are a possibility at Gingham Goose. Thank you Steven for meeting our every need and sharing your love for comfort and travel.

Hello!

My name is Steven and I am a passionate traveler currently residing in fantastic Lima, Ohio. My loves include my beautiful wife and daughter, cartography, photography and painting. I'm a super friendly guy who is basically trying to see the world one country at a time, while also sharing a home to those who wish to do the same.

Hospitality is in my DNA as a lifelong journeyman, so it feels more than natural to host fellow wanderers in our beloved boho lake home.
