I am super excited on the spur of the moment we rented a cottage in Lakeside Ohio. My husband grew up there and we rarely find time to get back up there, being there are no more family ties. Lakeside is such a unique place. It is a fenced in community right on Lake Erie with gates at every entrance. The kids can roam freely and have a ball. Most of the cottages are still original and so wonderful to look at. We were lucky to find one still available by the Lake and it sleeps 10. Enough room for friends and family to stop in. I am so excited for my 4 year old Griffin, it is his first time to Lakeside. He and his Dad have a strong bond, it will be nice for my husband to share this with him. Well off to get ready for some Lake fun~
What a wonderful time you will have.

It looks like lovely fun. The bottom pic looks like something out of a mag. I'm green. I hope you all have a blast.

That sounds like the perfect summer getaway. WOW, I can only wish about getting out of the cornfields for the summer.

I hope you'll post and tell us about your trip when you get back. I've been thinking about making a trip to Lakeside for a long time but never have. It looks like a great, old-fashioned kind of place.
Have fun!
