Summer Breeze at Lake Erie

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 I’ve seen on Lake Erie. The house is wonderfully kept and owners are so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

Great view!

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.

Best home ever away from home!!!

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!!!

Second visit just as wonderful as the first!

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! :-) Linda & Virginia Dayton, Ohio

A Week at the Lake Cottage

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.

Absolute Charmer!

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!

Another 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 “off-season, ” which is still lovely. We really need to find a time to come stay during the “on-season” soon. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely little house on the big lake with us.

Beautiful home in a spectacular location!

Amazing location and this home has everything you need for a great, relaxing vacation. We’ve been coming to the area for years and have stayed at various lovely cottages. But we have never experienced anything better than the Braxton Lake House, hands down. We arrived to a find a complimentary bottle of wine from Paper Moon Vineyard. (I’m a big fan of this establishment and their wines, def check them out during your visit). Comfortable, beautifully decorated and so well equipped. We took advantage of everything we could during our short visit. We grilled out, enjoyed the firepit, took in the gorgeous view from the deck. This home has everything and a lot of extras. The owners are so helpful and they communicate well. So thankful we found this gem!

Relaxing Getaway

This beautiful, relaxing place right on the lake was perfect for our long weekend stay. It was cozy, super clean, and had everything we needed. The deck had a beautiful view of the lake. We could even sit inside and view the lake from the living room. Downtown Vermilion is close by and offers shopping and great restaurants. We were lucky to be there during the Woollybear Festival, which was a lot of fun! We hope to be back during the summer when we can take more advantage of the lake. Thank you Kari and Craig for the opportunity to stay at your wonderful place!
