Convenient and clean
We enjoyed our stay. The house is very clean, and centrally located. We like to prepare breakfast at home, and were very impressed with the well appointed kitchen. Sharp knives, lots of utensils particularly! The bed was comfy and Hulu is one of our favorite streaming stations. Our host was responsive although we encountered no problems. Thank you for a great stay!

Found a critter in our bed
We were supposed to have an early check-in, but there were some issues Where it put them a little bit behind. We got there late., Unloaded our vehicle, then my husband wanted to take a half hour nap before our evening, so he pulled the sheet down in the downstairs bedroom and found a Live bug. I am not quite sure what kind of bug it was, however, I knew that we just could not stay there.. We did not get a chance to check the other beds nor did we get a chance to Look at this bed to see if there were any more. The host told us that it was one bug and that Basically, he would not refund us. I don’t know about you, but I would never tell my husband or child, nor myself to lay my head down on a pillow where I found a bug, especially not knowing what it was. It’s not like a hotel where they could just give you another room to stay in. This was my first experience with Vrbo and unfortunately this has ruined us so we probably will not be back. We were only there for 20 minutes and then we drove around Erie looking for a place to stay. Very frustrating and disappointing.

Well-maintained home
My family really enjoyed the convenience of this house to neighborhood parks and the local ice cream shop, Maria's! The house was very clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was very responsive and helpful when the wifi went out the one day. Presque Isle State Park is beautiful and we enjoyed splashing in the water with our dog. When we brought him back to the house we were pleased to find a hose so we could give him a bath before going inside. The yard was nice and quiet to sit in during the evenings. Overall a wonderful stay, we would return.

Great Lake Escape
Planned a quick getaway to celebrate our daughters graduation. Everything was wonderful and the home was by far the cleanest we’ve stayed in. This rental had all amenities needed for a comfortable stay with pleasant additions such as coffee and tea. The convenient location allowed quick access to all our favorite areas, eliminating unnecessary travel time. We thoroughly enjoyed coffee on the quiet patio and our furbaby loved playing in the backyard. The owner, Ted, was courteous and helpful, providing an easy check-in/check-out process and very responsive to questions. Highly recommend!!
