Very nice place! Charming, clean, lovely decor, organized, well stocked, and gorgeous views. Only slightly disappointed that we couldn't walk to the creek directly from our back porch. But the walk up the road wasn't far. We would definitely stay there again.

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!

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!!!

A Beautiful Birthday Escape To Freeport Beach

From the moment I arrived, the hospitable property owner made me feel right at home, surprising me with a lovely birthday card and a complimentary local wine that added a personal touch to my celebration. The beach was a treasure trove for sea glass finding. My family enjoyed fishing at 16 mile Creek and kayaking at Presque Isle in the tranquil waters. Each evening culminated in breathtaking sunsets that painted the sky in vibrant hues, creating a bright and beautiful backdrop. We made memories of a lifetime just enjoying the simple things. I highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a family getaway.

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.

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.

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!
