Marblehead House | WONDERFUL HOME for REUNIONS! OCT 24-26; OCT 31-NOV 2 OPEN! FALL ON LAKE ERIE!

13 Bedroom House in Marblehead

Rock of Ages has been sitting on the shores of Lake Erie since 1861. It is built of native, local limestone, and is listed on the National Historic Register. There simply is not another comparable home on Lake Erie. It is wonderfully unique and fun to explore. It is very solid (like a 'Rock') and in great shape, but we have renovated the first floor, creating a Great Room and state of the art kitchen with everything needed to cook for and dine 30+ guests. We accept bookings year round. In the summer we book "weeks" Mon-Sun. We do not accept less than this 6 night "week" in the summer. From Labor Day to Memorial Day we accept less than 6 nights.
Rock of Ages overlooks the Lake Erie islands and is in the quaint village of Marblehead and is only a hop, skip, and a jump from the east gate of Lakeside (The Chautauqua of Lake Erie) in one direction and the historic Marblehead lighthouse in the other. The lighthouse is a spot of natural beauty and the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes.
We have traveled around the world and this is our favorite place on earth! Friendly, down-home people, great entertainment (at Lakeside and the islands), wonderful local history, great boating and fishing, Cedar Point, and the waves and the winds of Lake Erie, are constantly there. What a place! From Rock of Ages's tower room is one of the best views of Lake Erie in the area. Come and see!
Rock of Ages has a 120-foot spacious lakefront patio and three other patios with plenty of furniture for sunbathing, eating and gazing at the lake and watching the boats and ferry to Kelley's island. Of course, you can swim off the flat glacial rocks right in front of the house. A large sandy beach is a short drive away. We still have the original limestone fossil walkways from when 'The Rock' was first built. There is a large hot tub overlooking the lake.
We have plenty of room for the whole family (8000 sq. ft.) and lots of bed and bath options. There is a first-floor suite with a king bed and its' own bath for those who do not do stairs. On the second floor each of the five bedrooms has a king-size bed and a private bath. The third floor is great for kids. Six bedrooms surround a large common area with a large-screen TV.
There is one king bed, one queen bed, 5 full-size beds, 3 twins and 4 rollaways up there. The third floor bedrooms share a full size bath and two half baths. You have already heard about the view from the tower room! It has a kingsize bed, its' own bath, and a roof-top patio. Folks will fight over who gets to sleep there!
On the first floor as well as the kitchen and dining/great room, there is a living room with TV. The first floor also has two half baths. The lower level - not really a basement (it was the old summer kitchen) is a large game room area with a pool table, ping pong table, TV, half bath, and tables and chairs. There is a backyard patio with two large grills. Rock of Ages has a large parking area to accommodate big groups.
Although it is wonderful in the summer with the windows open and the lake breezes, we do have air conditioning. Rock of Ages can be used year round and the lake in all its glory in the winter with ice and snow is something else!! It is a great place for business or church groups or special interest retreats and seminars, for example birders or artists.
Our rates are for the entire property, not per person as in an inn or bed and breakfast. NOV- APRIL (With the exception of the holidays). I offer up to half off the regular rate, depending on the size of the group. Please send an inquiry for more details and a quote. I am very glad to answer any questions, I know it can be a big job planning for a large group or family.

Summary: Wonderful old home modernized comfortably to handle a crowd. Lots of room for small children to play, teenagers and adults to play pool, and space to gather for meals and talk. Beds were comfortable, Kitchen more than adequate for crowd cooking, and the house itself interesting to explore. Beautiful location and charming community nearby. Perfect for our reunion of 17.

Summary: We had the most wonderful time celebrating my birthday with a group of about 20 friends and family! From the view of the lake, extra touches around the house, the overall layout and ample parking, we could not have asked for a better weekend trip with our group! Thanks so much to Marla for all of the communication and making sure things went smoothly!

Summary: Our family loved everything about our four day reunion at Rock of Ages! The location was beyond what the pictures could even show. The lovely, spacious house, the incredibly user-friendly kitchen with anything one could want for preparing meals for a large group, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, and areas to relax. It was walkable or drivable to interesting sites including the historic lighthouse, Cedar Point Amusement Park, access to Kelly Island, convenient shopping so lots to explore. The home is charming, relaxing, quiet, so comfortable, and includes activities like billiards, ping pong, and hot tub. We are very likely coming back for our reunion in two years! Thank you Marla…

Summary: Great house on the lake with everything you need for a weekend with family. The lake is right behind the house so it gives amazing views as you watch the ferry go back and forth. Great sunsets and sunrises. The kitchen is stocks with pots and pans.

Summary: Great house, great location - the pictures don’t do it justice. We had 26 people from all over the country. Kitchen was stocked to serve a large group better than we’ve ever experienced. Host was attentive (and did show up on her own accord a couple times) but overall, we had a great experience and had no issues.

Summary: There were 22 of us. The littlest girls loved their “pinky” room. There are lots of stairs, so the oldest were very happy to have a first floor suite. But you do have to be able to navigate some stairs. The kitchen was extremely well stocked! The outdoor spaces will remain in our memories for many years! There are quirks in the house that were unexpected surprises. We loved our time at Rock of Ages!
