Awesome experience! Definitely a 5 out of 5! This cottage in Lakeside is so well-equipped and beautiful. We spent a lot of time on the spacious screened porch. The large table allowed all 15 of us to eat together. There were even many games for the kids to play. And of course Lakeside can’t be beat for the lake views, ice cream parlors, and playgrounds. We would stay here again!

Lovely getaway in Lakeside/Marblehead

The house was excellent, so beautiful and well designed! A screened front porch to relax in, a wonderful kitchen and living room, the most awesome bunk room for the kids in our group and plenty of space for our family vacation. The house is a short walk to the water and town amenities (Lake side walking path, park, playground, pier and Pavilion, mini golf, and more); Very close to restaurants, the Kelley's Island Ferry and the beautiful Marblehead Lighthouse-- excellent area to spend time!

Lakeside house

We had a great stay at the Upside Cottage. The house was perfect for the 11 of us. The design and open living areas were great for relaxing and hanging out together. It has a great porch and a garage that stored our paddleboards and kayaks. The place is as beautiful as the pictures indicate. Trudi is very responsive and helpful.

Absolutely loved our stay at "The Upside" in Lakeside, Ohio! The bunk bed room was a hit with the kids, and the layout of the house was awesome.

The owners have created the perfect Lakeside home for a family getaway. Beautiful first flloor bedroom suite and three bedrooms upstairs including the most exquisite bunk room you've ever seen, complete with sleeping curtains and a"camp lantern" night light for each of the six beds! No detail missed when decorating and furnishing this home. 1/2 block to the big new pool complex, 3 min golf cart ride to beach, shuffleboard shopping. Great communication with friendly owners!

AMAZING Designer Style "Cottage"!

The Upside was AMAZING! It was like walking into a designer's home. Our grandchildren loved the bunk room. It was their private getaway to regroup and reconnect with each other. The open family design was inviting and met our family's needs exactly. The proximity to the tennis courts and Aquatic Center was perfect for our "tweens". Trudi was so welcoming and gracious whenever we had any concerns or questions. We loved it and hope to return next year!! Best place we've stayed in Lakeside in the past 70 years!
