Property details

This fully renovated 2-bedroom home in Huron, Ohio puts you within easy walking distance of Lake Erie, Lakefront Park, the public beach, and the Huron lighthouse pier — while keeping Cedar Point, Kalahari Resort, and the Lake Erie islands within a short drive. Renovated in 2021–2022 and updated since, the home sleeps up to 5 guests across two bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa. It's a bright, well-appointed cottage with vinyl floors, high ceilings, and an exposed beam that give it a relaxed, beachy feel — and the kind of thoughtful details that make the difference: quality towels, comfortable pillows, a fully stocked kitchen, K-Cups, creamer and sugar ready to go, and bathroom essentials including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Just show up and settle in. Whether you're heading to Cedar Point for the day, fishing Lake Erie in the morning, catching a tournament at Sports Force Parks or Andrew Fabens Memorial Park, or simply looking for a quiet base to explore the shoreline, this home is set up for all of it. LAYOUT & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS The home is approximately 750 square feet — compact, efficient, and laid out well for up to 5 guests. • Bedroom 1: Queen bed • Bedroom 2: Two twin beds • Living Room: Queen sleeper sofa • Bathroom: 1 full bath with tub/shower, stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash • Sleeps: Up to 5 guests The queen bedroom includes a dresser for storage. Luggage racks and benches are provided throughout — the home has an open storage layout rather than traditional closets, which guests find easy to work with for shorter stays. One interior closet is reserved for host use. KITCHEN & DINING The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to cook in — quality appliances, good prep space, and counter bar seating. K-Cups, creamer, and sugar are stocked for your first morning. An outdoor grill is available in the backyard for evening cookouts. UNIQUE BENEFITS • Walk to Lake Erie — Lakefront Park, the public beach, and the pier leading to the Huron lighthouse are all about a 10-minute walk from the front door. Downtown Huron's restaurants, bars, and local shops are approximately 15 minutes on foot. • In-unit washer and dryer — a practical upgrade guests appreciate, especially for longer stays, fishing trips, or tournament travel with uniforms. • Boat-trailer-friendly parking — the stone lot behind the property accommodates two vehicles plus a full-size boat and trailer. Multiple guests have successfully backed in a 20-foot boat. Enter and park from the rear of the property. • Quiet, low-traffic street — the home sits at the end of a dead-end street that borders a school parking lot, meaning virtually no through traffic, especially in summer. • On-demand hot water — no running out during a busy morning with a full house. • Fast Wi-Fi — reliable connection throughout the home. • Roku Smart TV — sign in with your own streaming accounts. Roku Guest Mode means everything signs out automatically at checkout. • Well-stocked and welcoming — engraved coffee mugs, quality linens, a welcome guide with local recommendations, and bathroom essentials all included. Nothing feels like an afterthought. LOCATION & ACTIVITIES Huron sits on the southern shore of Lake Erie in Erie County, Ohio — positioned between Sandusky to the west and the Firelands region to the east. It's one of the most convenient bases on the lake for accessing the area's top attractions. On foot from the property: • Lakefront Park & public beach — approx. 10-minute walk • Huron lighthouse pier — approx. 10-minute walk • Downtown Huron restaurants, bars, and shops — approx. 15-minute walk • Andrew Fabens Memorial Park — approx. 15–20 min walk By car — major attractions: • Cedar Point Amusement Park — approx. 15 min • Kalahari Resort & Indoor Waterpark — approx. 10 min • Great Wolf Lodge — approx. 10 min • Sports Force Parks (tournament fields) — approx. 10 min • Andrew Fabens Memorial Park (baseball/softball tournaments) — approx. 5 min • Nickel Plate Beach — short drive • Lake Erie island ferries (Sandusky/Port Clinton) — approx. 30–35 min • Put-in-Bay & Kelleys Island — approx. 30–35 min to ferry • Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland — approx. 1 hour • Toledo — approx. 1 hour Outdoor recreation: Lake Erie is one of the premier walleye and perch fisheries in North America. The Huron River and surrounding area offer excellent fishing access, and the property's boat-friendly parking makes it a natural home base for anglers. The lighthouse walk, Lakefront Park beach, and nearby Nickel Plate Beach round out outdoor options for non-fishing guests. Tournament & event travel: Sports Force Parks in Sandusky is one of the largest multi-sport tournament complexes in the region, drawing families from across the Midwest for baseball, softball, and soccer tournaments. Andrew Fabens Memorial Park in Huron also hosts baseball and softball tournaments and is approximately 5 minutes by car. Kalahari also hosts frequent cheer, dance, and gymnastics competitions. The property is a consistent choice for tournament families. PARKING Two vehicles park comfortably in the stone lot behind the house. The lot also accommodates a truck, boat, and trailer — guests enter from the rear of the property. Please use the designated stone parking area and avoid blocking the shared driveway.

We had a wonderful time at the Stowe Away. Centrally located to the lake. Quiet neighborhood. Walkable to parks, restaurants, and lake front. This is ideal for families with young children! Lots to do! If we are back in the area, we’re booking Brett and Jessica’s wonderful spot every time! Thank you! ☺️
