Front Porch & Balcony overlooking Park/Lake Erie! Cedar Point, Fishing & Beach!

Welcome to The Shore House!

This historic home is located on Lake Erie in Huron, Ohio. It is the ONLY lake front home with a cozy outdoor front porch, gas fire table and a large upper balcony to enjoy the beautiful view; make lasting memories and sit back...relax! Morning coffee, afternoon lemonade and evening cocktails will never be the same! The view continues inside the home with a wide-open floor plan boasting large windows facing Lake Erie allowing lots of light to fill this home while everyone gathers to visit, play games, enjoy a celebration or steal away to a nook and just relax.

The Shore House has 4 bedrooms, a 3rd floor loft for kids with folding couches (listed as "Office 1"), 3 full bathrooms & 2 living/sitting areas! The living room connects to the kitchen and dining room where you'll have many conversations and activities. The family room is together with the gaming area which has a foosball table, games, beverage refrigerator, a high-top table with 2 chairs and a table with 4 chairs to use for laptops, games or an additional eating area. The kitchen is completely stocked with all of your needs. There are so many different spaces to spread out in this home, that you'll never feel crowded!

We had a large group: 12 adults/children. This home provided everything you would need to entertain. What is unique about this property is the kitchen provided you with all essentials to cook, the bedrooms are comfortable, plenty of towels and bathroom essentials are provided. The home had several areas to hang out and the owners provide games, in addition to bikes in the shed. We will definitely be back!

Overall, this was a great place to stay. Great view of Lake Erie, playground, fun house for kids with 3 levels. Lots of room for large gatherings. Able to step outside and play, swim, or fish without having to drive. Nickel Plate Beach nearby was very nice for a bigger beach. Short drive to or from Cedar Point. We had a great time! The only complaint was that the outside trash containers were full upon our arrival. But the owner got back to us quickly.

this house has LOTS of stairs throughout its rather odd 'vertical' architecture, but the place is kind of cool for that same reason .. it has a super comfortable porch with multiple ways to sit and enjoy .. the house is in a very nice neighborhood, but with not very much parking .. between the house and the lake is a pleasant public park with shade, benches, picnic tables, BBQ grills and such .. the beach was a little disappointing with a bit of an industrial feel rather than a wide-open summer fun feel like Outer Banks or Waikiki (I know, pretty high standard)

Shore house stay

The Shore House is an older home but furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The porches were incredibly comfortable. The loft rooms were exciting for our five children (12 and under) to play in but the spiral staircase was a little too hard for them to maneuver at night for restrooms so we kept them on the second floor, much to their disappointment. Beautiful park across the road with playground completed the week.
