We had a great stay! Location was perfect close to nearby park and lake. Lots of extras for families and kids which was super helpful. Little swingset was perfect. We had a wonderful time and would stay here again!
A large group of 10 stayed. Nice little place. But the gem is the towns of Chippewa Lake and Medina. Highly recommend staying here if you plan to visit either place
198 Brookshore is a place we've stayed several times. It's in a great locatiion in beautiful Chippewa Lake. Neighbors are nice. You are in walking distance of the Village Inn (for good food and a cold Guinness), the Chippewa Beverage store (for lunch meat, beer, ice cream cones, etc.), the Oaks Lakeside (for music and fine dining) and, of course, Ohio's largest natural lake!
Nice cottage. Tidy, but not nearly the level of cleanliness we expected. There were crumbs and dirt in the kitchen drawers, dust bunnies and food wrappers under the beds and livingroom furniture, and dead ants on the floor under livingroom window, as well as under a pile of boxes in the dining room. There were also layers of cobwebs in the upper corners of the front room and on the stroller and play kitchen. We had to wash all of the utensils, plates and bowls because they were sticky. The dishwasher did not work very well. There was always soap left on the inside door after the cycle ended, so we'd have to run it through again. As far as the advertised "comfy for 12," I would recommend comfy for 10. The single bed with single trundle is in the hallway that connects the 2 upstairs bedrooms and bathroom. If the trundle is pulled out, the bedrooms and bathroom are essentially inaccessible. We ended up having to put one of our guests on the couch so that there was nighttime access to that bathroom.
Wow what a gorgeous property! We are a very large inter generational family, and this house suited us perfectly. The boys LOVED the hideaway upstairs. The girls loved the privacy of the additional bedroom. Everything worked, everything was clean. The pool table was such fun! We would definitely stay here again if we visit the region again.
The property was perfect for our family and to celebrate Christmas. The property had everything we needed. We were comfortable in the house and had more than we had expected. Property managers answered our questions promptly and very friendly and helpful.
The Brookshore Cottage is a very clean and comfortable home away from home. We could not have asked for a better place for our getaway. The neighborhood is very nice and very quiet. The owner, Chris, could not be more friendly. Do something special for yourself and pick your vacation getaway at the Brookshore Cottage. Thank you Chris
Stayed here with 7 adults. We were going to have 10 -12 but that would not have been comfortable for more than 8 adults. Host let us know that the twin/ trundle had been broken by previous guest but the 2 low twin mattresses in the loft would have been ok for chlildren or someone that didnt need privacy. It had not been thoroughly cleaned, that's why I gave a 3.
We stayed at this Chippewa Lake house in early November, as an early Thanksgiving get-together. Our family was raised in Medina and has scattered throughout the country over the years so this house served as an ideal middle ground. The place was comfortable and had plenty of room for our group of 8 people. There was a short walk to the lake, which is quite picturesque and offered us our morning and evening exercise.
We cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen and had plenty of table space to enjoy the meal together. The kitchen and bath rooms were well-stocked with plentiful sheets.
The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep (except for measuring cups and measuring spoons). We had a minor issue at check in but the owner was very responsive and accommodating. We had some trouble getting the TV in the living room to access some of our channels. Both were small issues and the owner responded promptly to our questions.
All in all, a good stay. Enjoyed getting the family together. We'd rent this place again.
Wonderfully close to the beach and community center
A lovely older home, with the attic punched out to provide additional sleeping and two full baths. We didn't bring kids, but the swing set and close proximity to the large neighborhood playground would be great if you bring the whole family.
