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.

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!

Cottage at lakeside
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
Home was clean and very comfortable! Felt totally relaxed our entire stay. Screened-in porch was perfect for dining; beds were comfortable. We loved our stay and hope to book again. Thanks for offering your home as a rental! P.S. I think our golden retriever had the best time of all!!!

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.
