Photos and Description of the Marblehead vacation house rental 13 BR, 13 BA, Sleeps 36

We are so excited about sharing our 'new' but very old home and its' stories with you and other potential guests. Rock of Ages has been sitting on the shores of Lake Erie since 1861. Built of native, local limestone it is listed on the National Historic Register. There simply is not another comparable home on Lake Erie--it is wonderfully unique, and fun to explore. It is very solid (like a 'Rock') and in great shape, but we have renovated the first floor, opening it all up to panoramic views of the lake and have added a state-of-the-art kitchen and plenty of dining space for 30+ people. We love this new area and are sure you will too! Rock of Ages overlooks the Lake Erie islands and is in the quaint village of Marblehead and is only a hop, skip and a jump from the east gate of Lakeside (The Chautauqua of Lake Erie) in one directions and the historic Marblehead lighthouse in the other.

Location: Ohio < USA

Nearest Airport: Cleveland at 72 Miles
Nearest Ferry: Kelley's Island at 1 Miles
Nearest Beach: beach at 1 Miles
A few miles to Port Clinton for the Jet Express to Put-in-Bay and a few miles to East Harbor State Park. Located between Toledo and Cleveland, 20-30 minutes to Cedar Point. Consider a fall or spring long weekend. We think autumn on Lake Erie is the best! Think about the winter holidays? Do you really want 'all” the kids at your place? Or maybe you're in a condo now and simply can't have 35 people over, but you would like to host a get together. Rock of Ages is here for you and we love seeing families make time for each other and have a 'good' time when they do it! This North Coast of Ohio is within a day's drive of 60% of the USA, making it a very central location for family reunions. One block from Marblehead gift, antique, coffee, and ice cream shops. Other quaint shops within a mile or two. A couple of blocks to ferry to Kelley's island. About a half a mile to Lakeside and a half a mile to Marblehead Lighthouse State Park.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Marblehead, Ohio

The lighthouse is a spot of natural beauty and the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes. We have traveled around the world and this is our favorite place on earth! Friendly, down home people, great entertainment (at Lakeside and the islands), wonderful local history, great boating, Cedar Point, and the waves and the winds of Lake Erie are constantly there. What a place! From our tower room and rooftop patio is one of the best views of the Lake Erie islands in the whole area. Come and see. Rock of Ages has a 120ft. spacious patio overlooking the lake with plenty of furniture for sunbathing, eating or gazing at the lake and watching the boats and ferry to Kelley's island. Of course, you can swim off the flat glacial rocks right in front of the house. Within a short drive is a large sandy beach. We still have the original limestone fossil walkways from when 'The Rock' was built. There is a brand new hot tub overlooking the lake.

As well as the new kitchen and dining room/great room on the first floor, there is a living area with a large screen TV. The first floor also has two half baths. The lower level (the former summer kitchen in the 'old days' ) is a large game room with a pool table, ping-pong table, TV, half bath, and tables and chairs which opens out to the backyard patio with a large grill. Rock of Ages has a large parking area to accommodate big groups. Although, it is wonderful in the summer with the windows open and the lake breezes, we do have air conditioning. Rock of Ages can be used year-round and the lake in all it's glory in the ice and snow is something to behold! It can work very well for business or church groups that time of year. Our rates are for the entire property, not per person as in an inn or B&B.

We are a family, sharing with you our family place, not an impersonal management company; we sincerely want your family or group to have a great time at Rock of Ages. We have finished a major renovation, but Rock of Ages will always be a work in progress and we will be constantly upgrading. Almost everyday, we get new ideas! We are glad to answer any questions via email and calls, we realize it is a big decision you may be making for a bunch of relatives and/or friends and you have lots of people to consider and possibly lots of questions.

Other Activities: Cedar Point amusement park, Lakeside Chautauqua on Lake Erie, Marblehead lighthouse, Lake Erie islands, boating, jet skiing.

Wonderful place!

Judy E. Ravenna, Ohio
Review Submitted: December 18, 2007 Date of Stay: November 2007
I have stayed at Rock of Ages three times with a group of 10 women! It is a wonder place to stay. Large enough for the whole group, yet cozy corners to get away from it all. The kitchen is large and great to work in. The view of the lake from almost all the windows is an added bonus! If the weather is nice, you can walk right up town to all the shops and places to eat. I can not say enough good things about this place!

Superb vacation for a group

Roz D. Ann Arbor, MI
Review Submitted: March 31, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
Rock of Ages is a beautiful home. It's been meticulously updated and decorated with many beautiful touches. I think there are king-sized beds in every room, and each is a little different with a combination of traditional décor and modern conveniences. The house has plenty of places to gather or get off alone if you prefer. I especially love the view of the lake from the comfortable chairs by the gallery windows.

The kitchen has two of everything - sinks, dishwashers, refrigerators - and an ice-maker that will never run dry. Everywhere I turned, there was something else nice to find.

I can't think of a more ideal place for a gathering of friends or family.

weekend getaway with old friends

Review Submitted: October 8, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
"The Rock" was better than expected. Spotlessly clean, very roomy, gorgeous view of Lake Erie, extremely comfortable beds, and the owner is very easy to work with.
Being age 50, my only warning would be for those with bad knees as there are stairs to all bedrooms except 1. Otherwise, the stairs helped to work off all the food we cooked in the beautiful gourmet kitchen!

A great weekend retreat place!

Katrina Y. Stow, Ohio
Review Submitted: October 7, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We had a weekend church leader's retreat at the Rock of Ages and it was the perfect place for a group of 32 people ranging from age 15 to 51.

The bedrooms were nicely decorated and the the beds were very comfortable.

The kitchen was great to cook in and had everything you would need to cook for 32 people.

We really enjoyed our time and would recommend Rock of Ages to anyone looking for a weekend retreat!
