The Boathouse on East Harbor

Welcome to Rock Harbor Cottages. "The Boathouse" spent the last 50+ years as a waterfront storage shed. We were faced with a tough decision, tear it down or rebuild it. We turned it into an amazing cottage, not on the water but IN the water. The view is second only to the over sized 3+ person jacuzzi tub. Nothing better than waking up in bed and opening your eyes to the amazing view and hearing the sounds of the water. Close to dining, shopping, beaches, Cedar Point, fishing, and Lake Erie.
The space
This is a private not shared unit. Located on the south shore of East Harbor, providing quick and easy acces to Lake Erie by boat. Feel free to bring your boat, kayak, paddleboard, ect and use the dock at no charge. No vessel no problem, we operate a charter boat right from the dock at the cottage, its visible in the pictures at the end of the dock. You can also fish from the dock for panfish and bass. Local piers provide access to Lake Erie's famed walleye and perch. The Boathouse boasts a fully equiped kitchen... Fridge, stove, oven, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, cookware and dinnerware. To help keep our rates reasonable guests are required to bring sheets, pillow cases, and bath towels. Upon request linen service can be arranged. we do provide basic cleaning supplies, paper towels, garbage bags, dish and hand soap, and toilet paper.
Guest access
Entire cottage, docks, and main yard to play ball ect...

Must stay
It is small but so peaceful and right on the water. The inside is perfect. Beautiful sunsets! The tub is to die for. Bobbers restaurant is within walking distance, very friendly, not pricy, and excellent food. Fresh Walleye and Perch!

AMAZING destination
My husband and I had an amazing stay at this little cabin, it was the perfect size for us! It was right on the water, the view was fabulous! Just sitting outside watching the boats and people on jet skis was so relaxing. So close to the ferry for Kelly's Island and lots of great restaurants and ice cream places too! HIGHLY recommended!

Relaxing day trip
We absolutely loved this house. We have already discussed returning for a longer stay. We only spend one night, but we fell in love. It was so relaxing to sit inside and watch out the sliding glass door at the water and the boats going by. We had some family stop over and enjoyed sitting out at the table. The queen size bed on the first floor was very comfortable. We only popped up to look at the loft, but it looked like a cozy place to sleep. The bathroom was huge and there was tons of places to store our belongings. Will definitely go back.

Great Getaway
Fantastic little boat house. Had an excellent stay and actually appreciate the requirement to bring your own linens. Place was clean, neat, easy access and climate control worked even in cold weather; we stayed warm! Wifi is a must for working couples and had no issues with access or the internet TV. Would definitely stay again and already looking at summer '22 bookings. Thanks for a great weekend!

Fishing and Relaxing Fun
We had a wonderful time in the beautiful little boat house! It is beautifully done, the view is lovely, the jetted tub feels great at the end of the day, as does the comfy bed. Our dogs and we enjoyed hanging out on the dock fishing and eating and drinking. Sunny even took a swim. One day we went out fishing on Brad's boat. Although the fish were not super cooperative, we caught enough for dinner. Brad is a great captain and we had a wonderful time with him. He even cleaned the fish for us and the Crow's Nest restaurant cooked them. They were delicious. We will be back next year!!! Fran and Andy

Great View and a nice job on this total remodel of an historic boat house. You can't get any closer to the water or the romantic and soothing sounds of the lake! This cute little home is the cure for what ails you, well equipped and stocked with the essentials but also with a HUGE jetted tub to soak away those troubles!

We loved our stay! The place is clean, well laid out and has a view that's hard to beat! The owners of the property checked in with us to make sure everything was alright and that we were happy. There places to go and eat, walk along the shoreline. The best part,, sitting out back watching the sun set and the sun rise!! We will be returning! Definitely 5 STARS!
