I have been coming here since before I could walk. I love this place, as does my family. Close to everything, fires by the lakeside, quiet family atmosphere. Nice beach. I have so many fond memories of this place. I highly recommend it.

We arrived after a 4 hr drive, and were very disappointed in the "plywood box" (those were the owners own words) that we were shown.The foundation consisted of unsightly rotting wood all around the bottom and when we complained about the strong smell of urine inside, we were told thats just the smell of wet plywood. The cushions on the... More

The Rose Cottage is one of our most popular cottages. Yes, it is 60 years old, but that is what gives it its character. The cottage IS made of plywood but what is wrong with that? It doesn't have a urine smell! The cushions were set up on the couch after vacuuming. We offered this couple another cottage and they... More

My sisters and I were looking for a place to take our parents for their 60th anniversary and I found the cottages at Water's Edge in Vermilion. We rented the "Guesthouse" for two weekdays and were delighted with the entire experience. The Guesthouse is probably the original farmhouse on the property so this was no small cottage. It has a...

My family visited the cottages last summer, and I just made my reservation to go back this summer. My three children love the beach, meeting new friends and the nightly fun around the fire pit. It is a wonderful family environment and the owners are especially kind and welcoming. My favorite thing is the simplicity of the darling cottages. A... More

This place is beautiful and very close to many attractions, but don't let that fool you. The bigger cottages had an ant problem when we were there. We dealt with it but it was hard to have an appetite when they are crawling all over the boxes of food. It is a family environment. The owners allow alcohol but look... More

Wow! Not sure what this is all about. I don't recall rounding up our guests to make them sit at the fire! We spray the grounds for ants and spiders yearly. If we see any evidence of ants when cleaning we intervene. Our guests need to tell us if they see a problem and we will take care of it.... More

We recently stayed at Cottages at the Water's Edge in Vermillion, Ohio. The cottages have a great location - 15 minutes away from Sandusky and less than 1 hour away from Cleveland. You can have the perfect mix of beach holiday, amusement park attractions and big city fun. The cottages are relatively inexpensive so they are small and pretty basic... More
