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.
