We had another great stay at the property! The weather was cold out but the house stayed nice and warm. It has a well stocked kitchen and plenty of open space on two levels. The owner and the property manager were both very responsive.

I would higly recommend this property if you want a relaxing getaway with family.

Perfection!

This cottage was perfection! Sits on a beautiful inlet leading to Lake Erie. Several outside decks with many windows. Unfortunately we had some rain and heavy winds but we could still enjoy the view! Very clean. The attention to little details - everything you need. No negatives. One of the best we have stayed at and we rent Vrbo quite often.

Second year

For our family, this is the best place we’ve stayed in Erie. The location is perfect for what we like to do. The owner is so responsive to any questions. The place is so clean…. I feel at home the minute I walk in. My 99 year old father-in-law says he remembers the place and would love to live there! North East is such a friendly town….we enjoy it so much. Can’t wait for next year!!!

Best Erie Rental we've had

The house is so clean and inviting. I’ve never felt more at home and comfortable, right from the beginning. Access to the lake couldn’t be any easier and the creek is wonderful to sit and watch the birds. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I definitely would! We will be back!

Spacious Beach House, Wonderful Host

Booked this rental for Thanksgiving with two of my brothers. We loved the rustic feel of the lower level (complete with foosball table) and the beachy attractive style of the main level. Lots of windows and a large deck overlooking a creek that flows into Lake Erie. With two floors plus a loft, there was plenty of space. Two large TVs for watching football and movies. Kitchen very nice with a large island and well supplied with everything you need. We ended up getting snowed in and our host was absolutely wonderful and kept in touch during our unexpected extended stay. Couldn't think of a cozier place to be stuck in for awhile! You will love this home!!

Better than expected!

Had a weekend event that brought us to the area, and decided to make it an elongated weekend with family and friends. House was clean, very accommodating, and overall better than expected. The space was much larger than expected and the layout was great for allowing personal space and also group gatherings. Creature comforts like Tupperware seem insignificant but small things like that make it so much easier, convenient and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

If I could give more stars I would. This cottage is beautiful and clean. Lake Erie is an easy walk and the creek behind the house meets the lake, the views are wonderful. There is a public beach very close with a playground for the kids. The Erie zoo and science center were a 20 minute drive. We chose this for our eclipse 2024 trip and it was absolutely perfect. The host responded quickly to all my questions. This cottage exceeded my expectations. My family wants to know when we are going back.

Fisherman's Dream!

The house was everything we needed and more for our Lake Erie fishing trip! Providing everything you need from toiletries and linens to dishwasher and laundry detergent. The waffle maker was a bit hit with the kids! The kids loved staying in the open loft. Closing the loft curtains at night helped them settle down. The neighborhood was quiet and only a minute walk to Lake Erie - perfect for walking our dog. Very friendly neighborhood. We plan on going back next year!

We were so impressed by this gorgeous property. Very clean and quiet home away from home. We went with 2-16 year olds as well as a 7, 4, and 3 year old (all boys). We also added in our 1 year old golden retriever pup. Everyone had plenty of space and privacy, if it was needed. We enjoyed walking on the beach at night and traveled to Niagara Falls and Presque bay with ease. Will be back and would give this 10 stars!

Total Relaxation

Cottage was exceptionally awesome. Equipped with everything you needed. Very clean. One thing to mention thats not really mentioned in amenities...there's a great view of the lake from the upper deck. Can't wait to book next year. Only disappointment was the small fire pit. But understand with the layout of cottage. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

The Best Place in North East

Our family had the best time staying at Charlotte's place! We have found a place to vacation at for years to come! The place was perfectly clean and was stocked with anything and everything we needed, even down to the details! The kitchen was fully stocked, there were plenty of towels, toiletrees in the bathrooms, games in the basement, and supples in the garage! The space is so beautifully decorated and there was the perfect amount of space for our family of 6 adults and two small children. It really felt like home to us. Our family loved sitting out on the patios and enjoyed cooking on the grills. The host, Charlotte, was incredibly kind and made sure we enjoyed our stay. We can't wait to come back next summer! Thank you!
