Perfect location!

Beautiful property in a beautiful neighborhood. The Old Homestead still retains all the charm and safety I remember from our visits there in the late 60s and early 70s. The private beach is wonderful and the beach guards were on the job. So convenient to Marconi's, Berardi's, food and drug stores, etc. including Cedar Point. We'll definitely return!

Perfect Cottage for a Weekend Getaway

This cottage was perfect for our short family getaway. It is cute and clean and has all the supplies you can need and want. It is located less than a block from a private beach which had very few people on it even though it was memorial day weekend. There is also a cute all seasons room in case it rains. We really enjoyed our stay at Huron and would definately come back.

Wonderful vacation home

We enjoyed our stay at this home in Huron. The home was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect and a short walk to the beach. Our visit was in cold March but we want to come back in the summer time. The owner was very kind and helpful.

Safe and Sound

Loved our stay at this lake cottage. My mother vacationed in Huron as a child and loved coming back now. The house was a short walking distance (actually a nice relaxing walk) to a very private park which lead to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and comfortable. The house had a very nice open floor plan including a nice sun room on the front for relaxation. The house was nicely decorated and not cluttered. Plenty of nice clean dishes and silverware along with a lovely coffee corner for our use. Plenty of towels and beach towels were available as well. The shed was full of useful items for beach use. Make sure to try the pizza at The Sandbar less than a mile away. This restaurant/bar was there when my mother visited back in the 50s. She walked into the restaurant and said she was transported back to that time. Oh, and don't forget the quant little park down the street complete with tennis court, swings and a small baseball area. All this basically in the same block! The check in and out was super simple. Marcy was very helpful, attentive and responded quickly to any correspondence we had and happy to help in any way she could. Thank you Marcy!

Nice relaxing weekend

Our family had a really nice time in Huron at this rental. It was such a wonderful place with families out and about all over the neighborhood and city. It seemed like one of the safest places on earth. The beach was fantastic and the rental included everything we needed to enjoy time at the private beach area. If you want to slow down and enjoy yourselves for a few days or longer, this is the place to go.

Perfect Beach Retreat

Perfect experience. The property has every amenity you need for a very relaxing stay. We biked to the beach daily, and sat on the beautiful front enclosed patio every night. The host is responsive, attentive, and made sure our stay was successful. One of the things that shows true value is what happens when things go wrong. It wasn't a big deal at all but there was not a hair dryer. This is where Marcy went the extra mile. She made sure that a brand new one was delivered that very same day. I recommend this to anyone looking for peace, quiet, and the perfect family weekend.

Great little home

The home was very clean and pretty and full of all the kitchen items you’ll need. It was located about 2 blocks (approx 6 minutes walk) to a lovely beach. We had 3 and sometimes 4 cars so had to park 1 or 2 in the road but always found parking places. We had a really good time. Thanks Marcy

So close, but so far away

We live about an hour from Huron, but it felt like we could’ve been in a small lake town 100s of miles away. Both the town and the cottage were delightful! Marcy has made Her place bright and comfortable. Morning coffee in the sunroom was our favorite! Dinner out back came in a close second. We stayed a week but wish we would’ve stayed two or three!

Outstanding Lake Erie Vacation

We rented two of Marcy’s properties in the same neighborhood - it was a blast. No one wanted to leave. The house had everything we needed. Marcy was amazing - kind, responsive, thoughtful. We will absolutely stay here again next summer;) Thank you, Marcy!

Best experience in Huron ever!

We've been vacationing in Old Homestead in Huron for over 20 years and this fantastic 3 bedroom beach house fit our family perfectly. 2 queen bedrooms plus a king bedroom gave everyone enough space for themselves plus the sunroom in front was amazing. Very clean and very responsive host. We highly recommend.

Cute cottage, steps from the beach!

Our family had a wonderful stay here! Quiet neighborhood, bike friendly and close to Cedar Point and Sandusky. Everyone loved the front room with its lovely breeze. And the backyard was perfect for outdoor eating and grilling. The kitchen was well-stocked, too. Fun week at the Lake!

The cottage is lovely and much larger and nicer than expected. The location can’t be beat with a walk to the beautiful beach, as well as restaurants and stores. We wish we had stayed a week instead of a night.

Charming Cottage

We absolutely loved our week stay at this cute cottage in a great location. The home was very clean and stocked with almost every amenity you could need. The beds were the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced in a rental, and there were tons of extra pillows and blankets to make sure everyone was comfortable. The size and layout of the home perfectly accommodated our group of 4 adults and 2 kids. The host Marcy was extremely responsive and accommodating. She offered an early check in, and even messaged me ahead of time to see if I needed a high chair or pack and play. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to book this rental again. The home itself is fantastic, and the area (private beach, local restaurants, proximity to Cedar Point, etc.) can’t be beat!

Quaint Cottage With A Great Location

We enjoyed a great August vacation at this clean and cozy cottage with our two kids (ages 4 and 7). Everything was ready for us when we arrived. The beach was nice. The location was very close to Cedar Point and lots of other things to see and do. Our kids also enjoyed the small park across the street with a tennis court, basketball court, and swings. It’s all in a very cute self-contained neighborhood of well-maintained lake cottages. We’d definitely stay again if our travel plans bring us back to the area.
