I booked the Besties package for myself and two friends to celebrate their milestone birthdays. The price is very reasonable in the off-season and the package offers a lot. We received a one night stay in the cottages, wine flights, cheese board, a bottle of champagne, snacks in the room, and dinner vouchers at the onsite restaurant. I also got a birthday cake added on, which was super nice. The cottages are spacious, clean, and fully equipped with everything you need. The Crosswinds restaurant on site has very delicious food and we all enjoyed it. I will say the advertising is a bit misleading. The cottages do not offer a view of the lake, but rather the parking lot. It was fine since it was the winter and got super dark early anyway, but that was still a little disappointing nonetheless. I would recommend a room in the resort that actually does overlook the lake. They also deliver breakfast baskets to you in the morning and the food is super fresh and delicious. I would certainly come again in the future, it’s a cute resort and very quiet.

We love the Lakehouse Inn Retreat!! It is absolutely beautiful and the staff is wonderful!! Can’t wait to come back!
My husband booked a romantic getaway for our first anniversary and we were excited and looking forward for the trip but we were left utterly disappointed. The room looked fine as we entered inside but as we explored the kitchen, there were no pans and pots or anything to cook but they have mentioned it's a fully equipped kitchen. Not even a dish scrubber to wash dishes. The room had multiple spiders and insects crawling out of nowhere and we spent most of our time trying to kill them. The bed was pretty small and creaky and wasn't enough for 2 to sleep comfortably. The breakfast we had was okay. The romantic arrangements made by them were good. That was the only good thing about the place. We had a 2 night stay but unfortunately we had to leave after 1 night as the place was nothing like it was pictured on the website. The biggest disappointment was the view and the lake which looked like a gutter but nothing like a lake. So basically the photos were faked and photoshopped. We were charged 1300 for a two night stay which basically became 1 night and our money was totally wasted. We felt like we were conned and we had no option to cancel as the cancellation policy asks you to cancel 14 days prior to the date for a refund. We regret booking this place and would never recommend anyone to go and waste a huge amount of money on this. Not worth it!

This is a beautiful place to stay. The grounds are immaculate. 2 things to consider; There are a lot of motor cycles you can hear from the cottages. Some of the staff are pretty uptight, and some are lovely. Check in isn't till the same time the grounds are open for restaurant visitors.

My husband & I have been staying here for years and always have a wonderful time! Most recently we stayed in one of the cottages, and the newly renovated bathrooms are very nice! It was much needed! I would appreciate some window coverings in the sitting area/kitchen though. I think maybe it’s also time for some new furnishings (sofa, chair, ottoman, king sized mattress), but it certainly did not detract from the comfortable lodging. They no longer provide a “welcome gift”, but I understand that this is most likely a cost-cutting measure in these days. All of the staff are really nice!! Special shout-out to Patrick behind the front desk- we always enjoy seeing him and chatting! He does a great job! The land-scaping and patio areas are always so lovely and well tended. We do miss the outdoor wine bar and patio seating, as that was always so nice to sit outside for lunch. We always meet some really nice guests there too. The only thing we really do NOT like is their new reservation policy (paying the entire balance upfront and a VERY stringent cancellation policy). Going forward we will only book on a “last minute basis”, instead of booking a year out as we previously had always done. Regardless, the Lakehouse Inn is one of our favorite places to take in the gorgeous Lake Erie views.

It was our second time staying here. Both times, we stayed in room #8. Both times it was on the off season, so we weren’t able to enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating.We loved how big the room was with a bedroom, sitting room with couch and tv, a soaking tub, and a bathroom. We also loved how we could see and hear the lake from our bed. Great view and location. We also loved how we could walk next door to the restaurant. And breakfast was good in the morning! They had vegetarian and vegan options!The downsides are how both times we noticed that they gave us two mini water bottles AND THATS IT. Both trips we were dying of thirst. For the amount they charge for these rooms, you would at least think there would be a way to get some water!!!And the bed was extremely uncomfortable! I didn’t notice that the first time and we were in the same room. But my husband and I got a HORRIBLE nights sleep.Overall, I love the rooms and location, but I don’t like dying of thirst or not feeling rested. The price of these rooms is extremely high only because of the lake, no other reason really.

My husband and I stayed one night here for our anniversary. We stayed in king room #1. Everything was absolutely perfect. The entire property, as well as our room, was immaculate. The man at the front desk was friendly and greeted us upon arrival.When we entered our room, it had some charming touches to make us feel welcome. We dined at Crosswinds Grille, located right on the property. The service and food was wonderful.In the morning, a delicious breakfast was delivered to the room. I enjoyed a relaxing breakfast in bed.This property is right on the lake. I bet it is just gorgeous in the summer. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great experience.

We stayed here for my fiancés birthday as a surprise getaway at the pilothouse. Let me tell you, the room is beautiful. It had everything we needed; I loved the big jetted tub and the view was gorgeous. I also liked that we could check ourselves in and parking was simple. Everything was perfect, clean and peaceful 10/10

My husband and I fell in love with the Lakehouse while looking for wedding venues back in 2020. We had our small covid wedding there and it was honestly the best weekend ever for us and our small group of guests. Everyone to this day still talks about how great of an experience we had there that weekend. We went back to celebrate our anniversary and loved it just as much (if not more). The staff are all so friendly and helpful, they make your stay as seamless as possible. The rooms I’ve stayed in (one in the bed and breakfast and then most recently the Boat House) are very comfortable, clean and beautiful. So much attention is paid to the details like local chocolates and coffees in the room. We had massages at the spa and enjoyed every minute and dinner at the restaurant was awesome as well. Everytime we come to the Lakehouse we feel pampered and like we have treated ourselves. Couldn’t recommend more highly for a couples get away, or a weekend trip to the wineries.
Hidden gem in every sense of the phrase. Excellent accommodations. Great view of Lake Erie. Excellent restaurant. Clean and friendly. We will be back in 2024. Ashtabula County and wine country. Never expected this from the state of Ohio. Wow!
This was our second visit to this property and we'll be back again for sure. The sunset views, helpful staff, and attention to detail make The Lakehouse Inn a must stay while in Northeast Ohio. Plus, there's delicious dining and an on-site spa.
