5BR/2BA Charming Home on Lake Erie

Charming, quaint 5BR home on Lake Erie, private

EASTER WEEKEND OPEN!!! April 6 HOT TUB OPEN!!! CALL Marla 734-678-2617

Golden Gate cottage sits right on Lake Erie just a few feet from the water, with a view of the water from every room in the house. It is surrounded by a beautiful lawn and grounds with plenty of privacy and its own sandy beach.

Especially in the summer Golden Gate is great for families with the beach right next to the house, the playground across the street, the hot tub on the patio and the pool table in the garage! But, off-season it is fabulous for 'GirlFriend GetAways'. I have put luxury linens on the three king, one queen and one double bed and supplied the baths with soft, wonderful towels. Even when it is storming, or snowy and icy Golden Gate is a very special place to be with girlfriends or a sweetheart!

We take great pride in keeping Golden Gate immaculately clean and in good repair.

We are not an impersonal management company but are very hands-on owners who want your stay with us to be full of blessings. Golden Gate is quaintly furnished with antiques, leather furniture and my special collections. There is a first floor bedroom with a double bed and bath. Upstairs, three of the bedrooms have king size beds, and one has a queen. There is a pullout sofa in the family room. At the front of the house is a large patio with furniture facing the lake. Inside, a sunroom across the front of the house gives spectacular views, it has a large dining table in it so you can enjoy the lake whenever you eat regardless of the weather! We like our kitchen to be fully equipped for any occasion and love gazing at the water as we cook!

We are continually updating and adding to Golden Gate. This past year we redid the kitchen.

It is our privilege to own this house and to share it with you! We have future plans for Golden Gate, but we also like to keep the essence of it the same, so that if you come back year after year, it feels familiar and comfortable. Like 'Grandma's house' (on the lake!)

Many guests have spent hours on the beach during the day and then enjoyed a bonfire at night. Golden Gate is the kind of place that you can spend your whole vacation just relaxing and 'vegging out' in as we do, or you can find fun and exciting things to do within a 30 minute drive. Cedar Point amusement park, the ferries to Put-in-Bay and Kelley's islands, Lakeside---Lake Erie's Chautauqua and the Marblehead lighthouse are close by.

For those of you into nature and birding, our area was part of the 'Great Black Swamp' and we are at the crossroads of two major migratory paths.

The variety of birds and waterfowl around here is amazing and Magee Marsh with it's nature programs and walks through the marshes is close by. We enjoy putting you in touch with what's available to do in our area and helping you have the best possible time at Golden Gate!

We will gladly answer any questions you have about our cottage or the area and routinely supply all our guests with a ton of information, so that the time you spend at Golden Gate is just what you want it to be.

Amenities: Private sandy beach, views of the lake from every room in the house, patio, grill, Pool table, central air conditioning, sun room, picnic tables, patio furniture, Hot tub, ceiling fans in every room, three king-size beds, one queen bed, one double bed and a sleeper sofa. First floor bedroom and bath. Fully equipped kitchen with microwave and dishwasher. Two refrigerators, Laundry room with washer and two dryers. 36' TV with cable, VCR and DVD. Towels and linens provided.

5 couples have spent a fall weekend here for two years and we're returning next year. I've stayed in hotels in the US and in Europe and none come close to the quality of the beds, linens and amenities of the cottage. It's quiet. pretty and very cozy. The new kitchen is great! Thank you, Marla, for sharing your space with us!

Three Generation Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: August 18, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
This was an absolutely lovely vacation home. There were 10 of us, ages ranging from 4 to 60. We had a delightful time at Golden Gate. The house is perfectly set up with a wonderful view of the lake from the dining, living area and two of the master bedrooms. We could not have asked for anything more. The owners were very gracious and the home was supplied with everything imaginable. There was plenty of room for all of us. We visited, Cedar Point, Put-in-Bay, did a fishing charter and did Wild Safari. The rest of the time we spent on the beach and the wonderful patio out back overlooking the lake. The grandkids as well as the adults were not ready to leave when the time came. I would recommend The Golden Gate to anyone who is looking for a great get away on Lake Erie for a relaxing time with all the comforts of home.

Birders Paradise

Four of us rented your lovely home for a week of birding at Black Swamp Bird Observatory/ Magee Marsh for the spring warbler migration. The house is fantastically located immediately on the shore of Lake Erie and is very close to these birding hot spots. The kitchen is great for foodies and the dining room table has beautiful views of the lake and the yard was often filled with birds. Four spacious bedrooms upstairs share a very economical bathroom. There is plenty of sitting and living space to spread out. All modern amenities are present and great working condition. Neighbors are friendly. The area is inviting for a walk along the shore and marsh.

Owner's Response: Thanks, Ruth! so glad you and your friends enjoyed our cottage and this special birding "hot spot"!

"Economical" is a good way to describe our upstairs bathroom! It is a full bath with a shower (no tub). On the first floor we have another full bath with a tub. And there is also a first floor bedroom; for a total of five bedrooms. We also have a pullout sofa in the living room.
