About this property

Cottage Custom built by owner plus 4 person golf cart included

This charming 3 bedroom cottage retreat sleeps 10. We built this cottage as our own home in 2002 with all the modern amenities yet keeping true to that old Lakeside charm. Spacious family room and open kitchen are great for family entertaining. Formal dinning room for large family gatherings. Huge screened porch perfect for lounging or enjoying an outdoor meal. Master has queen bed with private bath and walk in closet. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms both have single/double bunk sets. There is a pull day bend with trundle in the living room. The cottage has central air + washer/dryer for your convenience. Sleeps 10. .Two cars off street parking. plus you can also park 3 or 4 cars on the road in front of the cottage.

We are located around the corner from the tennis complex on 6th and the new pool complex located right next to the tennis center. Plus the widely popular pickle ball which is also located at the tennis complex.

Each rental comes with the use of a 4 person golf cart. No extra charge, it is included in the rental fee, compare this to having to rent a golf cart in town which would have cost you an additional $350 a week..

Lakeside is a hidden gem in northeast Ohio. It is a gated Chautauqua community encompassing mind, body and spirit with a large range of daily programming and nightly entertainment in the 3,000 seat Hoover Auditorium.

Be sure to check with www.Lakesideohio.com for pricing on gate fees and schedule of events. Note there are gate fees during the summer season, Memorial day through Labor day.

We don't have cable but we do have a smart TV and you can watch with your own accounts

Very nice house in a great location!

We really liked this house and would definitely stay there again. One confusing issue is that the available beds were not described accurately, resulting in our bringing bed sheets that didn't fit. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms actually each have a double bed and a single, which is not what the listing shows.

Perfect getaway!

My family and I wanted a fall weekend at Lakeside and this cottage was absolutely perfect! The perfect place to relax and we were very happy with our stay. We would love to come back and stay here again. Loved spending time on the front porch and screened porch and everyone had their place to hang out. The cottage was very welcoming, clean, and had everything we needed. Thank you!!

Perfect Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary getaway and it was great! I grew up going to Lakeside every summer but hadn’t been there in many years and it was my husband’s first time. It was off season so very quiet which was perfect for us. The house is a short walk to the lake and town square. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. I love how much natural light comes in the many windows. The living room was very comfy for us, our two dogs and my parents who came by for lunch one day. We enjoyed eating in the screened in porch very much. The golf cart was a very nice added bonus too. We would definitely like to return to this property. Larry was also extremely responsive and helpful.

My favorite!

We have been taking the kids to Cedarpoint since they were little and never found a spot we loved enough to stay again. However, this is the place! Love the Lakeside community and all the surroundings. The house was well equipped and large enough for all of us to have our space.

Great place to stay in Lakeside

We loved staying at this cottage in Lakeside. It was the perfect place to stay to enjoy a weekend at the lake. The kitchen is fully stocked, there is plenty of space, and we really enjoyed sitting in the sunroom. Larry was very responsive, and we were even able to check in a few hours early. We can’t to come back!

Charming home nestled in the flowers and tall trees. Comfortable beds and nicely appointed kitchen. Loved having breakfast on the screened in porch every morning and enjoyed having use of the golf cart. Home owner was easy to get ahold of and prompt to return any correspondence.

Wonderful charming lakeside home

We enjoyed our stay and the golf cart was a plus! Few blocks to the tennis/pickle ball courts and pool and Poolside that has some snacky items and treats. Like others have said the kitchen was well stocked and we used the fire pit one night which was nice. Some books and games available to use as well. The side screened in porch was amazing to eat at and play games! We had a wonderful week!

Cozy cottage stay

The property was well cleaned and very comfortable. We had a great time on our girls trip. It was close to the ferry so we were able to spend some time on the island as well. Neighbors were nice, but they were doing some work on their cottage and had the workers using equipment starting early in the AM. Which wasn't a big deal just woke us up earlier than we wanted. We also were not aware that the gates close at a certain time, we got back just in time though. Other than those two things we had an amazing time. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Very comfortable, clean cottage, with snags

We were happy to find a very comfortable cottage for 5, but snags to be addressed for the next occupants include the following: no working light in the south facing bedroom, loud whine in the dryer(did not use washing machine), no instructions for TV remote, no switch or remote found to turn off living room fan, broken railings on both sides of front steps, and only one person in our group had the patience to wait for water to heat for the shower; the listing should make clear that there are 2 1/2 baths, not 3.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Schottenstein

Host profile image
We are long term Lakeside residents who have built 10 cottages as investments. This one is unique and was built as our own home and we are now renting it on a limited basis. Our children have spent their entire childhoods growing up every summer in Lakeside. My wife and I had a restaurant for a few years in Lakeside, Summer Stock, and then moved on to a larger full service restaurant in Columbus. Due to family growing older and our schedule we are not in Lakeside all summer any more. We envite you to enjoy our summer home and create your own memories.

Why they chose this property

This home offers an affordable alternative to what is typically available in Lakeside without compromising your comfort and enjoyment. The home was built in 2002 and combines modern features like central air, on site washer and dryer to make your stay comfortable. We also custom built this cottage as our own home so you don't compromise that cottage feel. We have wood flooring, bead board walls, large front porch, huge screened in porch for outdoor dinning. With our home you will avoid an old and musty cottage maintained as a rental over the years or it won't have central a/c and can be hot to say the least.

Our golf cart is included with the rental, there is a charcoal grill out back plus a fire pit.

What makes this property unique

A summer vacation where you don't have to lock your doors. Something to do for everyone. We are around the corner from the tennis complex with free group lessons, close to the Rhein arts center which is popular for it's offering of art classes, you can check the little ones in at God Squad or at the play ground or enjoy the pier and lake front as a family. Close to all the Islands and Cedar Point.
