Classic Lakeside Cottage, Prime Location-Across from Hoover Auditorium

This cottage at 317 Central is both humble (although it can sleep 10) and strategically located. It is right across the street from the Hoover Auditorium where nightly shows and entertainment are scheduled each summer. It is just 2 streets from the lake and Lakeside town center. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs all with double beds. (one of the bedrooms is a walk through from another). There is 1 bedroom downstairs with 2 twin beds and window AC unit. All the beds have new pillow top mattresses. To keep cool in the summer, all 4 upstairs bedrooms have window A/C, downstairs dining has a window A/C and there are 10 ceilings fans covering all bedrooms, kitchen, dining areas etc. Downstairs has a full bath newly renovated with a tub/shower. There is a 1/2 bath upstairs. The kitchen offers a full size refrigerator, electric range, microwave, toaster, coffee pot as well as lots of cooking / eating ware and plenty of storage space in the pantry. Adding to the "family experience" at this cottage is a dinning room table that can seat 8, a living room that is complete with 2 sofa's, a lazy chair and 45" flat screen TV w/cable and free wifi. In addition 1 upstairs bedroom has a 35" flat screen TV.

To make you and your family feel comfortable in this summer cottage home - there are many shelves that are overflowing with children's books, and family games. The back yard includes a large brick patio with a table / umbrella and several sets of chairs and shade under a large hickory tree to escape the hot summer sun at Lakeside. The backyard has a barn that contains a charcoal grill, sandbox toys for the beach and other yard games for your family to enjoy. We also have a propane 2 burner grill.

In the front of this traditional Lakeside cottage you will find a full size open porch with a large awning to keep the sun out, plus comfortable glider and 3 rocking chairs. There is driveway parking for 1 large car or 2 smaller cars. The theme of this cottage is to provide a home that is comfortable, fun and very accessible to all locations. You can sit on the front porch and enjoy the sights and sounds of people, children, bicycles, dogs and golf carts that roll by from morning until evening. You can cook a nice family meal and eat at the dining table inside or have a picnic in the shady back yard. With only 1 block to walk you can quickly find Lakeside's Main Street commercial / social scenes, take in some recreation and the activity at the lakefront park - or you can stay at home and read books, play games or pop in a movie. Whatever you and your family might need, this Lakeside cottage has something to offer everyone during your stay. Bed sizes: 4 Doubles and 2 twins.
If you're looking to stay for minimum of 3 nights or during Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, inquire to owners.

My family enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage. Not easy to find 5 bedrooms that suits our family needs but this cottage is perfect. The location is so convenient to everything that we love; shopping, coffee shop, donuts, ice cream, shuffleboard, and miniature golf, not to mention the beautiful sunsets. Defintely 5 stars.

Relaxing
Lakeside is just divine for a relaxing time! Kathy is a gracious hostess and excellent at communicating. The only feedback is it would be great if Lakeside had a better process for cars inside the night before a very early start, with the gates. Our family lives Lakeside that is a taste of life at a simpler pace!

Sentimental Journey
The cottage was very clean and well kept. The air conditioning was such a bonus for the hot, sticky days. And our favorite part of all is the location and the front porch. It's across the street to the auditorium and we got prime listening pleasure of the orchestra practicing. This place is charming and we'll be back.

Very close to shops/downtown area and not too far from the pool either! We fit four couple with a room to spare with two infants and comfortably enjoyed our stay! Communication with the owners was also 10/10! We had a massive storm during o her stay and some damage was made to the exterior but was fixed within 24hrs. Highly recommend for your Lakeside stay!

The cottage at Lakeside was perfect for our family. The kids could easily walk downtown, and the adults could hang out on the front porch or grill in the backyard. It was a tight squeeze for 10 of us, but it was fabulous.

Family Fun
Property was immaculate when we arrived. The owner had a "Manuel" with absolutely everything we needed to know. Such peace of mind to know that you could just open the notebook if any questions came up. I loved the pictures of all the rooms so I knew exactly how to put them back. Location couldn't have been better. Also loved the teenagers having their own rooms as a retreat when they needed some alone time.

Never disappoints!
We had a wonderful experience as always staying at 317 Central Ave! We ate outside much of the time in the beautiful outdoor seating. Everything was very clean, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable for our family of 8. The walk to Lakeside is super short from this superb location. We highly recommend staying here!

Another great cottage stay continuing our 20+ year Lakeside tradition
Our stay was perfect for our group of 8 friends/family. Plenty of amenities and very clean. Loved the front porch and the well appointed back patio. Beds were comfortable and the a/c units and ceiling fans kept us cool. Location was convenient to all downtown activities and shops. Liked it so much that we reserved for the same week next year before we even left the gates!

Great for kids!
My grandkids loved their stay. My 2 four year olds loved riding their own bikes to where the action was. The older kids did too. They all loved all the activities and playing with the other very friendly kids at the basketball courts, Gaga pit and beach. I got a lot of steps in as well! It was a wonderful family vacation!

Awesome house
The house was absolutely spotless when we arrived. It had everything we could possibly need from kitchen utensils to plenty of dishes to paper products. Beds were plentiful and comfortable. Loved the front porch and listening to the shows from Hoover. Also such a short walk to uptown. Very good access to owners.

Nice cottage in the center of town
We like renting cottages that are close to the action in Lakeside and this one is a good rental in a great location. The porch is great for sitting and watching the world go by. And even through we were there in October, we noted that the awning would make for much shadier and cooler afternoons on this western-facing porch in summer months. We appreciated the good quality mattresses on the beds, which isn't always what you get in a Lakeside rental. The kitchen is small but functional. We have stayed in many Lakeside rentals and this one will stay on the "keeper" list for us.
