The Great Lakes Resort

Our Resort is located on the shoreline of Lake Erie. We offer the only lodging right on the water. To get down to the beach, descend the solid wood staircase and scale the last few feet of shale to the beachfront. Relax along the way on the built-in seats overlooking the lush greenery and gurgling stream of the ravine.

Spring is wonderful time to rekindle romantic interests. Spend some quality time reacquainting yourselves while strolling down to the lake or along nearby vineyards, or just relaxing in your room playing a board game and enjoying libations from local wineries.

Summer, you'll want to take a dip in our heated outdoor swimming pool. Or perhaps you'd prefer badminton, horseshoes, practicing your short game (Golf), or bocce on our expansive lawn. Find shade under one of the many trees and just let yourself drift away in that book you've put off reading... until now! You can even select a board game from the lobby and sit at one of our picnic tables in the shade. We've found that relaxing in our wonderful Adirondack chairs overlooking the lake from our 120 foot perch is most people's favorite pastime, however!

Fall is particularly peaceful and romantic. Autumn's paints are splashed upon the maple trees and the delicious scent of concord grapes fills the chilly evening air. You'll want to take morning strolls or afternoon drives along the vineyards. Daytrips to Findley Lake, Peak 'n Peek, Panama Rocks, or Presque Isle State Park make for pleasant excursions, all within a half-hour's drive!

Winter, bring along some warm clothing and take an invigorating stroll down to the frozen lake. The tranquility of the ice dunes will mesmerize you and capture your childhood imagination. Upon returning to your cozy room, take off your shoes and pour yourselves a glass of the wine you purchased at one of several local wineries. Return to the early days of your romance by enjoying some quiet time playing a board game, or reading poetry to each other. An eclectic collection, our modest but ever expanding selection of books may offer just what you need to feed your reading appetite while sipping complimentary tea. As long as you're content, we're content.
