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.

Romantic Getaway

The property sits atop a 120-foot
bluff overlooking
the Lake Erie
and offers spectacular waterfront views! If you've never been to any of
the Great Lakes, you'll be impressed by the lake's sheer size. Like the ocean, the
water stretches out to edge of the horizon. Iimagine the
splendor of watching a summer storm brewing over the water, or seeing Canada geese off the lake shore on an
island of ice in the winter. Erie's flagship, the Niagara, sails by in full regalia from here to Canada. Above all we are certain you will not forget the delight of the
world famous Erie sunsets; they will tranquilize your thoughts and help complete your days
of relaxation at LakeView.
