Waterfront Cottage on Lake Erie
Welcome! Lakeside Cottage is a new (2021) architect-designed 2800 sq.ft. 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath pet-friendly home on the south shore of Lake Erie. It is located 15 minutes from Cedar Point and 10 minutes from the Cedar Point Sports Center and is less than 5 minutes off of State Route 2. The features of the house are unmatched, including its location on the water’s edge and a second-floor deck with panoramic views across the water. The open floor plan offers views of the lake from the back of the house to the front. The kitchen, dining room, pool table area, bar, breakfast alcove and living room all flow together and participate in the dramatic lake view. A second level gallery space with central stairway leads to bedrooms, laundry room and deck. Sleeping quarters include one bedroom on the first floor and four more bedrooms on the second floor. There is also a business center, with desk, HP printer, paper and large monitor that can be connected to your laptop. (an HDMI cable comes out of the screen with a converter to mini display port cable added to that.) The house is decorated throughout with nautical flags, celebrating the language of the sea and the close connection of the cottage to the water. Simply designed on the outside to blend into its historic neighborhood, the inside is dramatic yet extremely functional. It focuses on views of the lake, user convenience and personal comfort in an atmosphere enhancing its unique nautical environment. Amenities include a tankless water heating system to provide a continuous supply of hot water to the showers and washer, a kitchen with all-new appliances directly adjacent to the dining area and bamboo flooring throughout the ground floor. The bedrooms include two larger lakefront rooms with queen beds, water views and direct access to the deck. They feature their own wall-mounted Smart TVs and lounge chairs. Two rear bedrooms, complete the upstairs: one with three twin beds and the other with one twin and one twin-over-full bunk bed. The convenient ground floor bedroom has two twin beds. In addition, the open plan ground floor contains 3 fold-out sofas that convert to twin beds and an available twin-size inflatable mattress. For convenience, the house is designed so that no bedroom is more than 11’ from a bathroom and no bedroom shares a wall with another bedroom. Besides disinfectant hand soap, the shower and bath facilities are provided with body wash, shampoo and conditioner, though visitors are welcome to supply their own. Outdoor amenities include a ground-level lakefront outdoor deck with grill, umbrella and lounge seating along with access privileges to two nearby private beaches. A convenient outdoor shower is provided to remove sand after a day at the beach. The site can accommodate four cars with regular parking and up to six cars with tandem parking. A Level 1 EV charging cable is provided at the house, it plugs into an exterior outlet. Last but not least: your dogs are VERY welcome!
(Note that reviews of the property before 2021 year are for an earlier house on the site along with a temporary replacement house in the summer of 2019 and that both have both been replaced by this new structure)

Property was great for our group, which included adults, teens, and dogs! House had everything that we needed. Location is very close to Sandusky and having a house right on the lake was amazing! Would recommend this property!
Beautiful location and great amenities! Although the outside of the property, including patio furniture, was covered in bugs and crawling with spiders, we realized that comes with the proximity to the lake. We simply didn’t use the outside furniture and enjoyed every moment.
We would definitely stay again. It was spacious and roomy for 8 people and each had their own bed, bathroom and space. The view was fantastic! The games provided were a hit. However, the price was a bit much and the furniture was not the most comfortable. But overall, we could feel at home for a few days.
House was a perfect and safe getaway for 6 adults and 3 kids and 2 dogs! Lots of beds and bathrooms and a fully stocked kitchen. The views were spectacular. House is as it appears in the pictures. Very easy communication with Heather and Ted. Highly recommend this home!!! We had the best time. Our only suggestion would be some more deck furniture to enjoy the amazing view. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this home again.
This was the 3rd year for our group at Ted's place on the shores of Lake Erie, so suffice to say, we love this place. Once again this year we had a great time. The fall weather could not have been more beautiful which made the setting so peaceful. Although, the golf shots we tried to execute left something to be desired, but what can we expect from a group of guys at the age of 74. Thanks again Ted and Heather for another stay which culminated with lasting memories.
We had a family vacation with our adult children and their spouses. We were so happy that the place was pet-friendly, since we brought our dog. It was so clean and there was so much room! I would recommend black out shades on the windows, because it gets really sunny and bright in the morning. I was disappointed that I had to look at the neighbors "Trump 2024" flag, but I forced myself to look at the beautiful lake instead.
I, my daughters and granddaughters stayed for the weekend. There was a total of 7 women and our little dog and plenty of room for all. Shortly after we arrived, we saw a double rainbow over the lake through the great view from inside. The bedroom downstairs is a plus for those who need one level. We could not regulate the thermostat for heat and reached out via text. They responded right away and someone was there within an hour. It was a fun time and in a great location.
The view is outstanding! I loved falling asleep looking at and listening to the water. The house is clean and not cluttered. The beds are comfortable and the pool table was great for games with our teens. The location allows for easy trips into town- we found a yummy taco place and brought food home one night. The kitchen could benefit from more mixing bowls and baking trays. If there is something specific you want to cook you may want to bring the cookware needed with you. Permanent neighbor to the right has several dogs so if you bring yours- like we did- expect some friendly barking to ensue. Communication with the property manager over a slight issue was handled promptly.
This was our second year in a row at 24 Silvern, and like last year we had a very enjoyable and relaxing time. We are 7 guys who went from kindergarten to graduation as seniors at Fremont St. Joe and have been getting together in September for 23 years. We are all in our 70's now and since we are all from the northern Ohio area we have decided that we are going to stay closer to home for our get together rather than travel long distances. We feel very fortunate to have discovered Ted's property on the shores of Lake Erie. There is something special about being right on the water. Ted is just a great host and makes sure you will enjoy your time at his place. His property manager Heather lives right next door and is very accessible to any needs our questions that may arise. Our coffee maker quit working the second day there and that afternoon Heather's husband brought us a new one. If you are considering a stay on the north coast of Ohio I highly recommend Ted's vacation home. Thanks Ted and Heather.
AWESOME! We love staying here as it is convenient to so many places for dining and entertainment. Many of us sat outside just to listen to the water and enjoy the peace and quiet. Thank you Heather and Ted!
A must stay if you're in the area. This property is very welcoming, clean, well stocked and everyone had a great time! Fun things for the kids and adults to stay entertained the whole time. Relaxing by the water is fantastic! This place is in the perfect location with just a short drive to some really cool and entertaining things for all ages.
The house was comfortable for our family. The kitchen was a great size. Rooms were great with each having a clothes closet. The view was great. Close to everything. Our grandchildren enjoyed the stay. Pool table and bar were great.
Our family enjoys an annual trip to Lake Erie. This house is wonderful for a large group. Checkin and Check out is very easy and the house is well maintained and Ted and Heather are very easy to work with. Can’t wait to for our next summer stay.
The house was perfect for a family get together. Just a suggestion- We could us a few more bath and hand towels and place a set in each of the bathrooms. Thanks so much.
Well represented on the internet. Clean and spacious. Nice appliances
Enjoyed our stay.

Perfect place to enjoy some sun and friends!
This house was perfect for our girls weekend. There were plenty of places to go that were nearby. We enjoyed having cocktails by the water and sharing lots of laughs. Easily walkable neighborhood as well. I emailed the owner quite a bit prior to our stay and he always got back To me right away. We would definitely stay here again. So nice and close to the water with a great breeze out back.
