About this house rental
Welcome to Windmill in the Willows! Experience the heights in one of Northern Ohio’s most iconic landmarks. Standing five stories tall and overlooking Fox Creek Golf Course, and Kennedy Park, The Grand Windmill is not just a stay—it’s a destination. From the sparkling kitchen ground floor to the panoramic views of the master bedroom, every level of this masterfully restored tower offers a new perspective on relaxation.
The Space: Five Floors of Unrivaled Luxury
Step inside this architectural landmark where history meets modern high-end living. The home is connected by a stunning custom staircase that hugs the curved interior walls, "spiraling" you upward through five distinct levels of purposeful luxury.
Floor 1: The Culinary & Social Hub
The ground floor features an open-concept modern kitchen equipped for gourmet meals.
The Island: A massive bar-top height island serves as the heart of the home, perfect for morning coffee or evening wine.
Dining & Relaxation: Includes a full dining table and a cozy reading nook for quiet moments.
Convenience: A half-bath and a full laundry suite are tucked away on this level.
Floor 2: The Entertainment Suite & Riverside Deck
Follow the spiral of the staircase to the second level, dedicated entirely to relaxation and views.
The Living Room: Features two plush couches and a 70" Smart TV for the ultimate movie or board game night.
Outdoor Living: Step out onto the expansive outdoor deck. Overlooking the serene Beaver Creek, it’s the perfect spot for al fresco drinks while listening to the water.
Floor 3: The Balcony Bedroom
A private sanctuary halfway up the tower.
Sleeping Quarters: A beautifully appointed bedroom with its own full en-suite bathroom.
The View: This floor features its own private walkout balcony, offering an elevated perspective of the surrounding woods.
Floors 4 & 5: The Grand Master Duplex
The top two floors combine to create a sprawling, two-story Master Suite experience.
Level 4 (The Spa Bath): A dedicated floor for pampering. It features a massive walk-in shower, separate water closet, elegant vanity, and a dedicated seating area. Step onto the level 4 balcony for a breath of fresh air.
Level 5 (The Observatory Bedroom): The pinnacle of the windmill. As the staircase reaches its summit, you enter a bedroom surrounded by 7 iconic circular windows, offering views of the horizon. This level includes its own private balcony—the highest point in the house.
A Note on Accessibility
The beauty of the Windmill is its verticality. The stairs are built into the perimeter of the structure to maximize floor space on every level. While beautiful and sturdy, guests should be comfortable navigating the "spiral" climb between the five floors.
Why Guests Love The Windmill:
Architectural Rarity: One of the only habitable 5-story windmills in the United States with stairs spiral stairs that hug the walls.
Instagram-Worthy: Every floor offers a unique "moment" for photos that your friends won't believe.
Modern Luxury: While the structure is historic, the amenities are 2025-ready—high-speed Wi-Fi, silky soft linens, and designer finishes.
The Location: Tucked away in a quiet Lorain enclave, yet minutes from Lake Erie beaches, a 30 minute drive to world renowned amusement Park-Cedar Point or drive East to downtown Cleveland.
Host Note: Due to the vertical nature of the property, guests should be comfortable navigating the stairs between the five levels. It is a light workout with a heavy reward!
