Amazing property!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in July 2025. Lydia’s cottage was the perfect place to relax and reconnect with our extended family in Cleveland. The view of Lake Erie is fabulous. Lydia went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed. We plan to book again next summer!

Great getaway spot!

The house is easy to find, has a gorgeous view and includes everything you need for a great getaway. I took my Mom for her 79th birthday and we explored the town and the Arboretum (note - $20 per person) and hung out at the house to watch the sunsets.

Great place and even better view

We really enjoyed our time at Lydia's cottage. The view of the lake from the back yard was great. Inside, the cottage was very clean and nicely decorated. It was also great to meet Lydia while we were there. We will be back again next year.

The perfect stay in a surprising location

Our stay at the cottage was absolutely wonderful! We fell in love with the area. Our week at the cottage was perfect in every way. Lydia was very attentive to our needs while respecting our privacy, which we appreciated. I cannot say enough good things about the place. I will definitely stay there again and again.

Perfect little lakeside cottage

This was my annual sibling trip with my brother. We chose Lydia’s place because we wanted to stay on the lake AND it’s close to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Y’all, it’s perfect! Love being able to have coffee and evening cocktails while watching the sunset. Lydia and her family were such wonderful welcoming folks. People were always friendly every where we went. We highly recommend this spot.

We sincerely adored this cottage, and the owner is wonderful. The cottage has every amenity you can think of and some you'd never think of. She is friendly, accommodating, and helpful. It's immaculately clean, cozy, and has the best view of any VRBO I've ever stayed in.The only thing that you need to consider if you book here is the loft. It would be perfect for two adults and two kids, but if you have four adults, be mindful that they are able to climb up the ladder to the loft. This isn't a criticism. Just something to consider.

Sweet Late Retreat

We loved our time at Lydia's on the lake and are so grateful for the beautiful days and evenings, outside in the garden watching the spectacular sunsets. The cottage is charming, well appointed and immaculate. Lydia has carefully considered every detail and was very attentive to our needs. We recommend and hope to visit again. Thank you Lydia!

We had a wonderful relaxing time at the cottage. Everything was as photographed and was very clean. The host was always very responsive and gave us great local recomendations. We especially appreciated the complimentary firewood, as its been snowing and we've enjoyed the fires. Its a simple place but perfect for our needs. Ps. The beach below is breathtaking when you get down there.

Beautiful Escape!

This was our second time staying at this property! We absolutely love it here! The entire place is so clean and well stocked. It has plenty of items, but there are stores nearby if you forgot to bring the marshmallows. The check in instructions are emailed ahead of time and entering the cottage is very simple. We have celebrated two birthdays and I even got engaged here, so it has a special place in my heart. The view is incredible and the sunsets are beautiful! It is just so peaceful here. The owner, Lydia, is so kind and wants to ensure everyone has a lovely stay! This place is a gem.

The most beautiful and relaxing time ever

This is our second stay at Lydia's and it won't be our last. Everything is as described and more! The cottage is perfect for couples and we had our grand daughter stay a couple nights in the loft. The cool breeze off the lake countered any humidity in the forecast, a welcome relief from our Arizona heat. Lydia is so welcoming and responsive as a host. I'm already missing my time there as I sit on the plane waiting for take off. The surrounding area is amazing as well. Plenty of great eateries and centrally located for our needs visiting family and friends. Highly recommend!
