Lake Erie Lakefront Custom Built Cottage ~ Amazing Sunsets ~ Private!

Exclusive Lake Erie Cottage

Retaining the original stone walls which were handcrafted by their late uncle, two brothers lovingly rebuilt this farmhouse-style cottage which sits on an exclusive and private point on the shores of lake Erie.

From sunrise to sunset nature puts on a spectacular show in front of his home which was thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the beautiful scenery. The seating options are endless…. Comfortable wicker furniture on the covered front porch, a hammock strung between large maple trees at the water’s edge, a group of Adirondack chairs in the front yard, another group of chairs around a campfire on the beach or inside the front room on a comfortable slipcovered sofa (where it looks like the lake is almost reachable with one’s hand when sitting down) are all perfect spots to enjoy the beauty of Lake Erie.

The interior of the house was designed with family gatherings and entertaining foremost in mind. The open floor-plan features views of the living and dining room from the kitchen. The farmhouse dining table can accommodate up to 8 people while another table in the front room can seat up to 6 people. Both are ideal for spending time enjoying meals or playing games. Outside a large picnic table is perfect for dining, games or crafts. Cafe lighting strung over the hammock adds to the ambience in the evenings from both inside and outside the cottage.

In the living room, the fireplace showcases some of the original stonework and features a large black walnut mantle. This room also provides more comfortable slipcovered seating and is a cozy spot to relax and watch t.v. or sit in front of the gas fireplace. All of the walls throughout the cottage are newly constructed of tongue and groove wood paneling painted white.

The kitchen features upscale appliances, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, glass front refrigerator and farmhouse sink. The open shelving and large windows create a relaxed, nostalgic feel which makes meal preparation inviting. Just outside a gas grill sits on a stone patio among the wooded side yard and is a perfect spot for grilling and mingling with cocktails before dinner. Guests can also relax and keep the cook company while seated on the four bar-stools at the kitchen peninsula. Nearby is a dry -bar/ hutch, complete with beverage refrigerator and ice-maker designed for entertaining ease.

There is a strict limit of 8 overnight guest with this rental.

Also on the first floor:
Bedroom 1 - King bed
Bedroom 2 - 2 Queen
Downstairs bath - walk-in shower featuring river rock stone flooring and multiple shower heads

The second floor includes:

Gorgeous House
This amazing house situated on a point on Lake Erie took our breath away!! Everything about it was perfect and we felt so fortunate to be able to stay in such beautiful surroundings! The design and decor was straight out of HGTV!! It was the perfect getaway and meeting destination for our daughter’s 30th birthday and we all are hoping to stay here again!!

This was our second stay at the property and that should tell you everything. It’s a beautiful and relaxing getaway. We enjoyed seeing so many more eagles this year and had a great time hunting for sea glass every day. Definitely created fond memories!

Another great stay!
We came back for another piece of heaven. I can’t say enough about the cottage it’s just a wonderful experience, total relaxation. Walking on the shore line my 6 year old grandson found sea glass and was so happy with his find that when he left he added it to the jug as he wanted to leave it for the owners to thank them for our stay.

Slice of heaven
Our vacation at this property was just what we all needed. The home is gorgeous and clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for the week. The kids loved playing along the shore. We had room to set up yard games. The owners were responsive and quickly addressed any questions. We have zero complaints! We would love to stay here again! Thank you for the memories we will cherish for a lifetime!

AMAZING
This was our 2nd year staying at this lovely rental! We love it and it is a great way to kick off summer break! We were fortunate to see the “red lights” along the horizon due to the weather during our stay. The sunsets are exquisite and so is the wildlife. We all loved watching the bald eagles flying around and catching fish. Thanks to these wonderful owners for allowing us to enjoy our family and make unforgettable memories! Until we visit again!

A Lakefront Gem
What can I say...my second stay at this beautiful home. I had the opportunity to meet the owners, Sam and Dave, and they are the loveliest people - very responsive. This home is beautifully appointed and perfectly maintained - spotless, comfortable, peaceful, high-end kitchen and bathrooms - all that you could want in a vacation property. The design of the house is perfect for visiting and relaxing, with a family room and sun room providing comfortable seating options. The weather was cold and rainy, but that did not deter us from enjoying the lakefront - taking walks, looking for beach treasures, etc. I'm looking forward to my next stay! Thank you Sam and Dave!

Perfect time away.
All the prior reviews are not overstated. Can't add much more. We had clouds and lots of rain. We took it in strider and it enhanced the interior warmth and coziness. Immaculate and well-appointed. The location, views, setting even with rain were awesome. The little town of North East had a good restaurant, The Skunk & Goat and coffee shop. The year-round ice cream shop, The Straw Hat, served ice cream from the Penn State Creamy. Total bonus find! Add this to the VRBO listing!! Brought back memories of the 4 years my son played football at Penn State. We will be back often.

Rebooked on Day 2 - That Wonderful
This home is immaculate, from the architecture and design to the finishing touches. It is truly one of the most beautiful, well-thought-out and intentional homes I've ever been in. Every single room was thoughtfully created and curated to highlight the property from sunrise to sunset. From every angle, whether standing in the kitchen or sunroom, you can take in the most amazing light throughout the day. Highly comfortable, clean furniture; every amenity you could think of, including every piece of serving ware and bar ware you'd ever need; and high quality linens, dishes, and finishes. We were so impressed that on the morning of Day 2, we booked it for another stay. It was the cleanest rental we've ever stayed in and that means a lot during a pandemic year. We enjoyed peace and quiet, searched for sea glass, fished, watched for eagles and all kinds of other birds. I would love to see more before photos/photos of the remodel process because I was that taken with the design. Can't say enough great things about the property and am thankful to the owners for opening up their lake home to us. Looking forward to revisiting next summer.

Heaven On Earth
We just returned from our visit and I can't say enough positive things. The home and location are nothing short of beautiful. Having stayed in many rental homes over the years, I feel this home is as close to perfection as I've come. The attention to detail in the design and decor is amazing. Inside, the amenities are thoughtful, high-end and truly set this home apart from other rentals. I could go on forever, but as a renter, I so appreciated having amenities like high-end appliances, Fiestaware dinnerware, Calphalon pans, Dr Teals bodywash, sharp knives & sharpeners, soft linens, makeup remover wipes, a glass for every occasion, a variety of serving dishes, etcetera. Outside the home, we loved having fires on the beach, watching the bald eagles fly by (and one catch a fish!) and hanging out on the porch in comfortable outdoor furniture. My daughters (6 and 3) spent hours walking on the beach and wading in the lake, looking for treasures (sea glass and pretty stones). I brought acrylic paint pens and we spent two evenings sitting at the picnic table by the lake painting small stones we’d found on the beach. Suffice to say you will not regret renting this home. Sam and Dave were lovely, responsive hosts and I hope to see them again very soon. 😊

I had a wonderful long weekend with my college roommates and friends. The property was absolutely beautiful and the house itself was just as amazing. It was furnished perfectly and had such warm and inviting areas for us to catch up on our lives. None of us wanted to leave and we will be coming back again soon!
