As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Here in the Buckeye State we are blessed to have our very own slice of beachside paradise: the Third Coast. And yes, Lake Erie is beautiful and we adore the many beaches and beach towns along the 316-mile stretch of shoreline, however, these waterfront locales are merely a drop in the bucket in terms of fabulous Ohio beaches. Case in point: Indian Lake, a sparkling reservoir in the small town of Lakeview, Ohio. This lovely lake offers 5,100 acres of water primed for a variety of aquatic adventures, including, as it were, the opportunity to stay in a lakefront cottage Airbnb on its very own private island in Ohio.
Lakeview is a lovely community in west-central Ohio that's home to an active population of 1,100 residents. As its name suggests, this town is nestled alongside its very own reservoir, Indian Lake.
Indian Lake is a true hidden gem that's such a wonderful discovery for water lovers in Ohio: it has its own protected harbor, docks, and boat ramp, and even...
Welcome to Island Time on Indian Lake, a cozy Airbnb that's easily one of the most unique places to stay in Ohio. The cottage is located on tiny Turtle Shell Island, the most remote island on Indian Lake.
If a "secluded getaway on the lake" is what you're seeking, you'll find it here. This is the sole cottage on Turtle Shell Island, so you and your group will enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime island experience complete with unparalleled privacy and glorious lake views from practically every seat -- outside and in.
The island is only accessible by watercraft, and a pontoon boat lift is available if you opt to BYO-boat. Please note: the host does not provide transportation to the island; the boat ride is a short one and easy to find with GPS, however.
As for the rest of this unique rental, you'll find the kind of cozy coastal vibes that are unique to waterfront cottages and beach houses. In addition to the beautiful sunroom (perfect for playing cards or working on a puzzle!), this Airbnb has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a full kitchen, and fireplace.
Whether you're looking to cast a line in the water (four cane poles are provided for guests to use), spend a day gliding around Indian Lake on a boat, sunning on the upstairs balcony, or enjoying a glass of wine from an Adirondack chair, this cozy Airbnb is a true slice of island paradise... right here in Ohio!
Who would have ever guessed you could stay in an Airbnb on a private island in Ohio? This lakefront cottage on Indian Lake is nothing short of extraordinary, and, true to its name, the kind of place where you’ll be on “island time” from the moment of arrival.
