Neighborhood

This charming, 1840 cottage home is located in the highly desirable and historic Harbour town neighborhood of Vermilion. Harbour town is in the heart of Vermilion, but also the heart of Northern Ohio's, Lake Erie Vacationland. This home is about a 10 minute walk (5 minute bike ride) to the beach-- a delightful route through the quiet neighborhood and downtown Vermilion where you will pass two parks and many downtown restaurants, bars, and shops. You are close to Lake Erie, the Vermilion River, boat launches, municipal docks, fishing charters, boat/jetski/kayak/paddleboard rentals, river cruises, wineries, parks, golf courses and many more Northern Ohio beaches! Only 25 minutes or less from Cedar Point, Kalahari, Soak City, Great Wolf Lodge, Castaway Bay, and Cedar Point Sports Center! Only 40 minutes from downtown Cleveland! 23 minutes from Thomas Edison's Birthplace in quaint Milan, OH. The possibilities are endless! This neighborhood, nestled along the Vermilion river is historically where the earliest settlers of the Vermilion Village took root in the early 1800s. It was in Harbour town that the early families of Vermilion lived-- the same families that fueled the golden era of the shipbuilding and fishing industries of Vermilion during the 1800s and early 1900s. The Airbnb's area of Harbortown is historically where many fish shanties and the homes of town fisherman once stood. This century home is also listed on the Vermilion Historic Register.
