Madison-on-the-Lake House | Family Summers, Big Lake Front House on Lake Erien

8 Bedroom House in Madison-on-the-Lake, Madison

This property was custom designed for large families on vacation. It features 2 Master King Sized Bedroom Suites with full baths, 4 other bedrooms (2 with twin beds, 1 queen, and 1 double), 2 bunk rooms with a twin and a bunk bed, and 2 1/2 additional bathrooms. This unique property has several living areas: a living room with a flat screen TV along with WiFi High Speed Internet, the Lake Room with plentiful seating and direct views of the lake, a downstairs "kids" Rec Room with a wall mounted flat screen TV, plus 2 large dining tables, a breakfast bar, and a huge kitchen that can accommodate several cooks and a long counter for buffet meals. The kitchen even has 2 dishwashers! A brand new dual zone central Air Conditioning system... and if the weather cooperates, you can open the entire rear of the house with floor to ceiling screened windows. The great advantage of this house is that you don't have to hide in a bedroom to get some quiet or read a book... lots of space, lots of separate areas, yet open to accommodate numerous kids and adults. The house has a full laundry room with an oversize washer and dryer. We installed a special high recovery water heater and even with a full house, no one is likely to get a cold shower. Last but not least, unlike most "beach houses", no one sleeps on a pull out couch or in a living room. All 18 members of the family have beds in bedrooms.
Of course, we've buried the lead... this house is LAKE FRONT! Some years back we got permission to build two jetties and a semi-circular bulkhead with a wide concrete deck. It's 100' long! What this means for you is that when the lake has high water levels, we still have easy access to the water, even some beach most of the summer. You can place your chair in the water, on the beach, or on the concrete deck and everyone is still involved in the fun. Great for swimming, launching small boats, or water toys. You access the beach by either a stairway or a grassy ramp all the way to the bulkhead. In addition there is a nice backyard overlooking the lake with a patio, Fire Pit, table and a gas grill plus a generous side and front yard for kids games. We are located on the highly desirable Shore Drive for shaded bike rides or walks along the lake.
Minutes from shopping, wineries, golf courses, 2 fabulous municipal beaches, numerous restaurants, and 8 miles (15 minutes by car/one hour bike ride) from the famous, or infamous, Geneva-on-the-Lake with its arcades, restaurants, bars, music, and recreation areas. Don't miss Eddies Grill or, since 1938, Madsen's Donuts! A supersized Walmart is less than 2 miles away, just across from our favorite Mary's Diner (love their breakfast). Of course if wine, beer, or spirits are your passion, there are 28 wineries, breweries, and distilleries within 10-25 minutes from the house.

Summary: The house provided plenty of space for our family gathering of 13 for various room/bed arrangements, eating, and hanging out. The large kitchen was great for meal preparation and the extra fridge in the garage was also helpful for any food/drink overflow. Being on the lake provided beautiful views, especially at sunset. The beach is quite small, but it does allow some access to water. (It was too cold/windy to actually go in the water, but the kids enjoyed taking off their shoes and being in the water.) The neighborhood was very nice, but it is about a 20-minute drive to Geneva on the Lake.

Summary: Great property to host a larger gathering.

Summary: 11 women from all over Ohio stayed for the weekend. Wine tour using Sunset tours. The only thing the house lacked were extra chairs for sitting around the fire pit. Other than that it was perfect!

Summary: Tammy was great . Bed covers/ linens need replaced…. No drink or food signs in about every room a bit discouraging Overall very enjoyable trip

Summary: Our stay was magnificent! The check-in process was great. We met a very nice lady who helped us with check-in, and we felt very welcome and appreciated her information. The same with checking out! The house was very cozy and lots of room to spread out and be comfortable. We'd love to come back next year. Thank you

Summary: The location of this home is spectacular, and it is quite spacious. The "back room" was where we spent most of our time because of the layout and the view. Was disappointed in a few things such as no beach access, the outside of the home had a TON of spiders as well as the inside in addition to gnats and fruit flies. My sister has two lake homes, and I have seen very little bug activity in either of them so I know it can be done. The bedrooms were adequately furnished but they definitely spent the majority of their furniture money on the common areas, The bedrooms had water damage to the ceilings and well used furniture. It was also interesting that we had to make our own beds when we arrived, never had to do that at a VRBO before..The instructions for check out are pretty detailed, including empty the dishwasher, take the trash out, sweep, wipe out the refrigerator etc... not sure what the $300 cleaning fee was for, hopefully for washing the sheets we had to put on our beds. All of that being said - the location was amazing,

Summary: Great house plenty of space and beds. It was clean and and well kept.
Pat T. Jun 30, 2024 10:03:28 PM
Summary: House met our needs perfectly. There were enough bedrooms for everyone and the kitchen was well supplied. Having a washer, dryer and two refrigerators and two dishwashers was great. The lakefront was nice but if steps from the sea wall down to water could somehow be added rather than a stepladder it would be even better. At 81, a ladder was not the safest option for me. I have not used vrbo often so not well versed on customary rules, but felt having to leave dishwasher empty (rather than running it with last minute items) and being asked to wipe out refrigerators and sweep carpet was asking a little much. The grill and table and chairs outside was nice and side yard made it possible for games. All in all it was a lovely place to stay and would recommend it to anyone who wanted to visit that area.

Summary: The owner was quick to respond to a problem we had when checking in to the house. He sent over a neighbor and she was quite helpful. We had a wonderful time and the house had everything that we needed.

Summary: This was our first family vacation in years. Communication was great. Check in and check out was easy. The property manager Tammy was a pleasure. We had one minor issue and it could not have been addressed any faster. Bob, answered all my questions and was very accommodating. A real pleasure to work with. We would definitely book/stay again. We had everything we needed. This was our fourth trip to the area and the first time we were able to get Madsen’s donuts. 😂. Lake Erie is beautiful. House was perfect. Thanks again for everything. Sam
