A few common questions to help you decide if this home is a good fit for your getaway:

How far is this Lake Erie waterfront home from the actual Lake?

When you drive into the property you will understand the proximity to the water. When in our home, you can see the water through the windows and can feel the breeze immediately. We are located directly on the water so please be careful with any kiddos getting near the waters edge outside of our fully fenced in waterfront yard!

Can we cook at the house? BBQ outside?

Absolutely! The kitchen is fully equipped with your standard plates, bowls, utensils, wine glasses, cups, pots, pans, and much more. All appliances are ready to be used! We have a BBQ grill to enjoy in our outdoor deck area. Propane and backup tanks will be provided. In the kitchen, you will also find a toaster, microwave, and coffee maker complete with ground coffee!


Is it suitable for children?

We have had several families and friends stay at our home. With the private property, there is room for outdoor activities for the kids. As with all houses situated near a street and lake please always be cautious of the kiddos getting near the road and water and please provide ample supervision. The interior of the home has open spaces for the children to play and make themselves at home. Please be extra considerate of the lake and do not climb down the cliff to access the water.


Are there any games or other activities at the house?

You bet! We have board games (our personal favorites), yard games, and more.


What about outside? Is there ample seating?

Yes, we have you covered! We have a beautiful patio set with comfy cushions for you to kick back and relax. We also have a table for your family's outdoor enjoyment and a chairs set around a fire pit in the backyard!

What about the TV/Movie situation?

Great news, all of our TVs are “Smart TVs” which allow you to access Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, or whatever networks you are subscribed to!


Are pets allowed?

Yes, we do allow pets under certain restrictions! We are proud owners of two rescue puppies ourselves and understand the desire to have your furbabies on vacation with you.

Lovely, peaceful, and quiet home to relax and unwind
The view and the home are outstanding! It was peaceful, quiet, and lovely. It was easy to find everything throughout the home and they had everything! The beds and furniture were very comfortable. A lot of thoughtfulness is demonstrated by the host by the way they set up everything as well as the manner in which they respond quickly. The bathrooms and kitchen are well stocked and high end which makes one feel like they are at a resort. Beautiful home, beautiful view, and wonderful stay! Mary M

Roomy & comfortable lake house
Very clean property with lots of room for the entire extended family. The hosts were very accessible and easy to communicate with. There is no water access, but that is the only downfall. Boat launches are close by as well as Presque Isle and Waldameer. The neighborhood is quiet and felt very safe also.

Best time!!
This house was great for four families with kids. From ages 6 to 73 we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. They were beautiful sunsets! This home is close to everything: Waldemeer, Presque Isle, TREC, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Communication was excellent, linens were soft and fresh, and towels abundant. The best thing for the kids was a long driveway where they could ride their bikes up and down, the garage to keep the bikes safe at night and the fenced in backyard. Thank you for sharing this Home! Highly recommended.

Great House - A Few Issues
We had a great stay overall. They do need to do some work on their HVAC system and a few outlets around the house. Overall, we were happy with the house, location and amenities.

Totality in Erie 2024
We booked this for the solar eclipse of 2024. The house was perfect! We had the best of both worlds, lake view but close enough to the hustle and bustle of downtown Erie. Plenty of room for our group that we went with. Inside was up to date and the backyard was amazing! It was clean and well stocked, maybe adding a few more drinking glasses would be a good addition. We would definitely recommend this house on Lake Erie, and will keep it in mind for future trips!
