AMAZING Designer Style "Cottage"!
The Upside was AMAZING! It was like walking into a designer's home. Our grandchildren loved the bunk room. It was their private getaway to regroup and reconnect with each other. The open family design was inviting and met our family's needs exactly. The proximity to the tennis courts and Aquatic Center was perfect for our "tweens". Trudi was so welcoming and gracious whenever we had any concerns or questions. We loved it and hope to return next year!! Best place we've stayed in Lakeside in the past 70 years!

Trudy and Kevin, Have a beautiful home. Their attention to detail was outstanding, every need of their guests are met. The house is supplied with anything a guest might need. Lots of equipment and activities to keep the kids busy. We were there on a rainy weekend and the kids were still very entertained! We have stayed at many VRBO properties and we would rate this home at the top! Wonderful vacation home!

Just a wonderful property!
The owners have created the perfect Lakeside home for a family getaway. Beautiful first flloor bedroom suite and three bedrooms upstairs including the most exquisite bunk room you've ever seen, complete with sleeping curtains and a"camp lantern" night light for each of the six beds! No detail missed when decorating and furnishing this home. 1/2 block to the big new pool complex, 3 min golf cart ride to beach, shuffleboard shopping. Great communication with friendly owners!

Absolutely loved our stay at "The Upside" in Lakeside, Ohio! The bunk bed room was a hit with the kids, and the layout of the house was awesome. We spent countless hours on the big porch, and the bedrooms were amazing. Plus, the house was fully stocked with everything we needed. Only downside? It was so nice that no one wanted to leave!

Look no further! Upside is the ultimate Lakeside home!
Our family was blown away by Upside! The owners are fantastic...eager to help in anyway that they can and are very efficient with communication. In most vacation rentals, the pictures on the listing sometimes paint a more glamorous picture than the reality of the actual home. This is NOT the case at Upside. The pictures do this beautiful home justice. You will not be disappointed. The home is fully stocked with ANYTHING that you could need during your stay. The kitchen is stocked with quality appliances, dishes, utensils, and serving pieces to make your meals with family and friends feel as special as they do at home. Our kids were blown away by the bunk room. Such quality craftmanship in the bunks and fabulous, fun decor that they were sad to leave! Perfect location as it is a very quick walk to the pool! We will definitely return! Our family made very special memories at Upside and we hope that you do too!

Lakeside house
We had a great stay at the Upside Cottage. The house was perfect for the 11 of us. The design and open living areas were great for relaxing and hanging out together. It has a great porch and a garage that stored our paddleboards and kayaks. The place is as beautiful as the pictures indicate. Trudi is very responsive and helpful.

Lovely getaway in Lakeside/Marblehead
The house was excellent, so beautiful and well designed! A screened front porch to relax in, a wonderful kitchen and living room, the most awesome bunk room for the kids in our group and plenty of space for our family vacation. The house is a short walk to the water and town amenities (Lake side walking path, park, playground, pier and Pavilion, mini golf, and more); Very close to restaurants, the Kelley's Island Ferry and the beautiful Marblehead Lighthouse-- excellent area to spend time!
