Great stay at the Fisherman’s Retreat!

We had a great stay at the Fisherman’s retreat! This place is in a great location. It was very clean and had everything we wanted. The hosts were very accommodating and even worked with us when we had some issues with our booking (which was our fault). I highly recommend this property to any fisherman or just somebody wanting to enjoy Erie!

Fishing trip

Love Brenda's place! Our 2nd time staying here for a family fishing trip. Ideally located near Elk Creek and several lakeshore spots. The place was well-stocked, inside and out, for our party of 5. Brenda communicates well and responds quickly to any questions. Highly recommend!

Fishing trip

The Fisherman's retreat was very clean and worked for our short stay. Brenda met us at the rental and explained everything very clearly. The unit was small but filled our needs. My only recommendation would be to get a single serve Keurig machine. The brewer was nice and we used it but it takes longer and we were in a hurry to catch our charter. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great Stay

Very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Owners were super nice and friendly. Loved their turkeys that came over to visit us. We felt like we were at home and then could head out to Erie to explore. Will reccomend and would stay again.

Fishermans retreat

Brenda is very personable and polite. She went above our expectations for the stay. If there was any questions, she answered. My children wanted to fish and we did not pack our gear. Brenda pulled out some poles and let us borrow them. Definitely a great experience!

Perfect location for our fishing trip!

Brenda's place was perfect for our stay! It was the ideal size and location for 5 guys in town for a Steelhead fishing trip. Very convenient for access to various fishing spots on Elk Creek and the lake. The property was stocked with everything we needed for our stay, even a fish cleaning station outside! Brenda is a great host and was quick to respond to any communication. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay for fishing Elk Creek

My two friends and I stayed for 5 nights. The location is perfect for fishing Elk Creek and all of the nearby Lake Erie streams. The rental accommodated us easily and had all the little extras like coffee, spices and basic condiments. Brenda and Tibby are friendly and great hosts. Enjoy.
