Enjoy what has been called a million dollar view of Lake Erie . The entire cottage is on Lake Erie. Besides the Weeping Willow tree and an occasional eagle or crane, the passing boats are stunning!!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay in July 2025. Lydiaâs 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!
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!
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.
Lovely special spot to enjoy Lake Erie views in a classy updated cottage. Lynda is a lovely host with lots of information to share. Would love to visit this spot again.
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.
After a long day of travel, we opened the front door to see the incredible view of the lake. The house is very cozy and comfortable. It was very clean and had all the basics for your stay. It is a perfect spot for a couple. Lydia is an excellent host. We canât wait to visit again
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.
Picture was slightly misleading on access to the lake but other than that it was absolutely perfect! So clean and beautiful location. Definitely would recommend!
This property was so pretty. You could tell that it was decorated and designed with Love. The view of Lake Erie was outstanding.Lydia was a great host!
This was my annual sibling trip with my brother. We chose Lydiaâs place because we wanted to stay on the lake AND itâs close to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yâall, itâs 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 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 arrived in the evening to a welcome card and treats. Lydia checked in with us in the morning and had an enjoyable chat and letting us know she would be quickly available if needed. The cottage was comfortable and attractive. The sofa very comfortable as well as the bed. The kitchen was a nice size and easy to use. The yard and Lake view was fantastic. It
The property and home were perfectly suited for our stay and Lydia was very accommodating. I would not hesitate to return again or recommend to my friends and family.
My husband and I live to the west of the cottage. When the cottage was for sale, we originally bought it so that our five out of town grandchildren would be able to stay with us when they visited from CA and MA. I love decorating and shopping for vintage furniture and so the six months it took to renovate the cottage was very enjoyable. Soon after, we realized the many benefits of sharing it with the wonderful people we have met since renting it as a vacation spot for those who also enjoy the views of Lake Erie. I must admit the grandchildren are now in their 20's and do not visit as often as they use to!! Luckily we have two in town. Lydia's Lake Erie Cottage has been an unexpected joy that keeps us young and busy in our retirement years. My husband Terry and I love being your host and hostess during your stay. Lydia
Besides being on the shores of Lake Erie, our cottage is located in a quiet neighborhood where walkers are welcome. Osborne park at the end of the street provides a pool, tennis courts, pickle ball, walking path, and sports fields. Walk to several ice cream stores nearby. Downtown Willoughby is a 5 minute drive and provides boutique stores and wonderful restaurants.
Definitely the location on Lake Erie where the views are spectacular particularly the sunsets!! You will love watching the boats go by while you sit in the yard under the willow tree . Also,Osborne park is a 5 minute walk to the end of our street. There is a beautiful public pool at the park and the city provides entertainment on summer evenings. Do not miss a visit to downtown Willoughby, a 10 minute drive where there is wonderful boutique shopping and great restaurants.
