About this property

Enjoy the View From this Charming Lakefront House in Private Park

Lake Erie lakefront property. Lake views from windows, doors, deck and porches

An Old Lake House at Mitiwanga Park on the shores of Lake Erie is reminiscent of days gone by. This quirky 200 year old house has charm and character. The house retains a relaxing comfort, but has all the convenience of modern times. Entering from the East Drive porch there is a downstairs hallway and bathroom. The open kitchen welcomes you with its sunny disposition and lake views. The kitchen has everything you need for your stay and more. The large living room with refinished wood floors, comfortable seating, game table, chairs and gas fireplace is through the kitchen doorway. It has inviting lake views from all the windows. Open the front door and you enter the enclosed porch facing the lake. There are places to sit down, read a book, have drinks, throw down your beach towel and have a nice conversation, or just enjoy the sounds of the lake and take a nice nap.
Up the stairs are the 3 spacious bedrooms, all with lake views. The LOFT ROOM is cozy with a Queen bed and loft area. The loft is sturdy enough for an adult and safe enough for an 8 year old. The DORM ROOM is roomy, with 2 Twin beds and a Queen bed and large dressing closet with vanity area. Step down one step to the S’MORE ROOM with a Twin bed and a Queen bed. There is still room for a Pack-N-Play (which is provided) to be set up. A large bathroom with claw foot tub and laundry facilities are in between these 2 rooms. There are lake views from all the bedrooms.

Mitiwanga means the peaceful sand beach. Just step out of the enclosed porch, onto the outdoor deck area, and straight down the grassy hill are those beaches that give Mitiwanga its name. Sit on the front deck or the lake front benches and admire the view. On a clear day you can see Cedar Point and the nearby islands. In the evening from the house windows, porch or deck enjoy some of the most beautiful unique sunsets you’ll ever experience. An Old Lake House at Mitiwanga Park is an adult and child friendly environment that offers something for everyone.

Within the family-friendly Mitiwanga Park there are tennis courts, volleyball and basketball courts and other park amenities, all for the exclusive use of residents and their guests/tenants. Same with the beaches and piers, which are great for fishing.

Always wonderful
This was my fourth stay at An Old Lake House, and it was as wonderful as ever. The house is so comfortable and well equipped, and the owner is super responsive when unexpected problems arise. The lake provides a fine backdrop for both play, rest, or reflection — whatever you choose. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Such a cute lake house painted in retro colors taking you back to a quiet quaint time before all the modern minimalist makeovers. Very spacious and lots of sitting room! Right on the lake.

Great location and treasure of a house
This is our second year staying at An Old Lake House after 7 years at another location. It is really wonderful, especially if you like funky, eclectic (we do!). Everything is supplied with the house. Very comfortable. Clean, quiet, and on a beautiful lakefront location. We will return!

This was a beautiful place for our family to meet for a small reunion (5 adults over 50). Exceptionally clean throughout the home. We enjoyed playing cards in the sunroom, making meals in the fully equipped kitchen, and enjoying the nightly sunsets. The quaint charm of older homes does has its limitations…the modern conveniences are not always readily accessible (1 shower on the first floor, and navigating stairs and rooms for bathroom access on the 2nd floor). Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

A little slice of heaven on the water
This comfy cottage/family house was charming and efficient and we had the best time. All I needed to pack was a bathing suits and toothbrush because everything else was provided. The decor is so much fun and the owners think of everything for your enjoyment. I was lucky enough to meet Patty, the owner who is delightful !!!This is a great house for family and a retreat on the water that is very special. I’ve already booked next year. Thanks, Patty.

Beautiful Lakeside Retreat
We had a lovely week staying at An Old Lake House! The location was close enough to enjoy Cedar Point and other local day trips, but also far enough away to enjoy a peaceful lake experience. We loved hearing the waves crash and feeling the lake breezes on the sun porch. The kids swam in Lake Erie just down the hill from the house. We recommend the Marblehead lighthouse tour and taking a ferry to one of the Lake Erie Islands. The lake house had everything that we needed to prepare for our day adventures and was a lovely retreat for our vacation.

Cozy Getaway
My husband and I stayed here for a two day getaway. It was so clean and had everything you would need. The house has lots of room and the views can’t be beat. There are plenty of sleeping options if you were to bring a larger group. The house is 100 years young and has so much character and the decorating makes it even more magical. The beach and benches in the community park are wonderful. I would highly recommend. Great house and wonderful location.

Surprisingly comfortable!
Definitely not trying to imply I thought it would be bad by any means, we were just pleasantly surprised with how much more accommodating than what we expected! We booked on short notice and were worried that things might be tight with 5 adults and 3 teens, but it ended up being just the right size. The house is filled with character and is best described as quaint. This is a great option if you want to enjoy Sandusky but want a cozy place to come back to.
