Front Porch & Balcony overlooking Park/Lake Erie! Cedar Point, Fishing & Beach!

Welcome to The Shore House!

This historic home is located on Lake Erie in Huron, Ohio. It is the ONLY lake front home with a cozy outdoor front porch, gas fire table and a large upper balcony to enjoy the beautiful view; make lasting memories and sit back...relax! Morning coffee, afternoon lemonade and evening cocktails will never be the same! The view continues inside the home with a wide-open floor plan boasting large windows facing Lake Erie allowing lots of light to fill this home while everyone gathers to visit, play games, enjoy a celebration or steal away to a nook and just relax.

We had a large group: 12 adults/children. This home provided everything you would need to entertain. What is unique about this property is the kitchen provided you with all essentials to cook, the bedrooms are comfortable, plenty of towels and bathroom essentials are provided. The home had several areas to hang out and the owners provide games, in addition to bikes in the shed. We will definitely be back!

Graduation Celebration

I have stayed at several properties in the past and this was one of my favorites. The house was well stocked and offered a lot of extras. I loved the front porch overlooking the lake. The neighbors were friendly and the location was perfect. We were very close to Cedar Point and many other restaurants and activities. The owners were very responsive and checked in to make sure we had everything that we needed.

great vacation!

Quiet, safe neighborhood. Park/fishing/sand/swimming right across the street. Excellent location if you want to sit and relax while children play. Also about 15 minutes from Cedar point, Great Wolf Lodge, many restaurants....House had a lot of room for our family of 9, lots of places for individuals to spread out and chill. Hope to return next year.

Wonderful vacation

It was very relaxing. The house was nice except the front porch leaking when it rained and you couldn't sit outside plus the patio leaked and couldn't grill out if it was raining. there was plenty of room for the living space. Would go back again. Very close to a lot of things to do.

Lakeview

This was our second year at this property. We like the house and the community. The front porch is wonderful. The park is right across the street. The small beach is great for the kids. The house is as described and met all our needs. There is easy access to all the activities in the area.

Summer get-a-way

The house was large enough to accommodate all of us and we were very comfortable. It was a very nice home. The outside porch and upstairs porch had leaves, spiders, spiderwebs, and dirty seat cushions. We were unable to sit upstairs but we sat on the downstairs porch, but we had to make sure we weren't under a spiderweb. I would suggest maintaining the outside of the home too.

Awesome!

We had THE BEST time on this trip! There were 12 of us, 4 single parents with 8 kids combined. From the porch we could watch the kids do whatever they wanted to do. Basketball, frisbee, park, fishing. There were plenty of bikes and we brought some scooters, they were never bored. The house was spacious, we never felt crowded. We were also close to lots of cool stuff, the Jackson street pier, go carts, and Kalahari. We can’t wait to do this again and would highly recommend!

Great experience

Our time at Lake Erie was super fun. The bay is a little difficult to swim in as the ground is all rocks. But fun nonetheless. The broken pier was perfect for an afternoon of successful fishing. The home is cozy and has lots of extras, plenty of bath and beach towels, toys, and kitchen supplies. Washer and dryer were much appreciated! Host was so easy to call and text. One bike had flat tire, but 5 of us enjoyed a long bike ride. House temperature was easy to control. The deck was fun to explore. Porch overlooking the lake was beautiful. We enjoyed a fire (brought our own wood). Such a fun family location! The park right in front was quaint.

Overall, this was a great place to stay. Great view of Lake Erie, playground, fun house for kids with 3 levels. Lots of room for large gatherings. Able to step outside and play, swim, or fish without having to drive. Nickel Plate Beach nearby was very nice for a bigger beach. Short drive to or from Cedar Point. We had a great time! The only complaint was that the outside trash containers were full upon our arrival. But the owner got back to us quickly.

This house is perfect for a large family. The shower in the bathroom on the first floor with the laundry room was very small, but the exrtra large bathroom upstairs more than made up for it! Having the high chair and pack and play was super helpful and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need!! The family also loved playing foosball when it was rainy. We did enjoy being able to go down to the beach and to the playground too!! Would recommend this VRBO house! It worked out perfectly for us. And Ruthann was super easy to contact and responded VERY quickly to questions!

Shore house stay

The Shore House is an older home but furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The porches were incredibly comfortable. The loft rooms were exciting for our five children (12 and under) to play in but the spiral staircase was a little too hard for them to maneuver at night for restrooms so we kept them on the second floor, much to their disappointment. Beautiful park across the road with playground completed the week.
