Cozy lake house with spectacular views and private access to the lake
Welcome to our home! It is a two bedroom, one bath, ranch with a basement that has been transformed into a functional living space. After a long day of enjoying Lake Erie, you and your guests can rest your bones in our newly updated bedrooms. The cozy master bedroom offers one queen bed and the spare bedroom offers one full bed, where you will wake up to a stunning view of the lake. You can also enjoy this same spectacular view from the large sliding glass door in the living room, which provides an additional queen bed in the pull-out sofa sleeper. When it is time to enjoy everything this property has to offer, you can enjoy a day on the lake from the beautiful back yard on one of our two decks, which offer private, walk-in lake access. Most importantly, dont forget to take in the breath taking sunsets at the end of each day!
We had the most fantastic stay! I grew up nearby and it was wonderful to share the lake with our kids. The house is super clean and absolutely adorable. The view and access to the water can't be beat! We will definitely return next summer!
What a great cottage! Has everything you need and an absolute perfect view of the lake. Hosts were attentive to communications and kind. Recommend highly!
Craig and Kari are excellent hosts! This is our second year staying at their home and it was just as clean and nice as last year. They care about their guests, we had a bad storm and the electricity went out they called to check on our safety and told us again where the lanterns were. What a great week!
We loved this property so much that it was our second time staying here. The outdoor space is gorgeous with the best sunset Iâve seen on Lake Erie. The house is wonderfully kept and owners are so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!
We were visiting Ohio from Los Angeles and needed a place to stay that was close to family but also served as a nice retreat. This house was perfect for us. The view was wonderful to wake up to, and the home is a short drive away from cute downtown Vermillion, which has several restaurants and a nice little coffee shop. Highly recommend this house if you are staying in the Vermillion area.
View and access to the lake were exceptional. Ice cream, miniature golf ,shopping in Vermillion and all the surrounding areas and attraction of the Lake Erie are and islands made for a great week at the lake !
Kari and Craig we are positive, have the most comfortable, totally ready for us or anyone lake front property that could be found off of Lake Erie Vermillion. They are the most accommodating hosts ever. This was our second stay there and we plan to come back again in the Fall. I miss it already . The view is spectacular!!!
This was the second time my mother and I stayed in this lovely home. I won't write another long review (you can see my last one posted in 2022) because everything was exactly the same! Great house, beautiful view, immaculate (and I mean SPOTLESS), couldn't ask for more. We highly recommend this home! Hope to come again next year! Absolutely love it! :-)

We enjoyed our weeklong stay in this cottage on Lake Erie. It was very clean and had a beautiful view and a great deck on the water and fantastic sunsets.
A few things that others may find helpful: Listing should say dining table is in the basement. The coffee lover of us prefers having brewed coffee instead of coffee from a Keurig machine. A simple " Mr. Coffee" type would be a good addition. The price of the cottage is a bit more than others with the same or more space offered.
Overall, it's a great place to stay!
Convenient or not far from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cedar Point Amusement Park and about an hour from the Ohio State Reformatory where most of the movie, The Shawshank Redemption, was filmed, now an interesting museum in Mansfield, Ohio.
The owners of the cottage were very helpful and quick to respond to our questions in setting up the reservation.
This was our 2nd trip to Braxton Cottage, and it was just as wonderful. Clean, convenient, well appointed and the owners are thoughtful and communicative. We spent hours just enjoying the beautiful yard and staring out at the water. 100% a fantastic stay!
This was our second stay at the Braxton Lake House and it was just as great as our first stay- maybe even better. We enjoyed the new changes that have been made since we stayed last year. And we just love the location on the lake, even during the âoff-season, â which is still lovely. We really need to find a time to come stay during the âon-seasonâ soon. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely little house on the big lake with us.
My friends and I had a wonderful time celebrating a 50th birthday. Such a beautiful location on the lake. The house is adorable, comfortable and owners were accommodating in every way. Thank you!!!
The cottage and location on the lake were wonderful! The attention to details was impressive. We appreciated all of the little touches and the dog friendly environment. It made for a great, relaxing 50th birthday weekend. Thank you!
A wonderful stay! The cottage is well-appointed, well thought out, and so cozy. Our hosts thought of every big and small thing that makes a stay there very relaxing and comfortable. Want to revisit in the future and chill by the lake!
