This place was beautiful. Minutes from Ohio , presque isle and everything in between. Very quiet location right next door to raccoon park. Fire ring overlooks lake Erie , unfortunately due to non stop rain we were not able to use it but definitely will try to book this location again.

The pictures do not do this lovely cottage justice! It has a beautiful lake view, nearby park and close to local fishing hot spots.
The cottage was the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in. The owners were helpful with anything I needed. We will stay here again!

The cottage was perfect for our girls' weekend! So clean and relaxing, an absolutely wonderful rental. Didn't get to do as much hiking as we had hoped due to inclement weather, but watching the storm over the lake was breathtaking. Communication with the owner was easy and immediate. She let us know upfront that there was an inaccuracy on the listing (no hot tub) that she had been trying to get corrected. It wasn't a deal breaker, but I appreciated the transparency. Would definitely rent again and recommend to friends.

I CHOSE THE COTTAGE BECAUSE IT WAS CENTRALLY LOCATED BETWEEN OUR FAMILY MEMBERS.
I WAS WELL AWARE OF THE AMENITIES AS THEY WERE COMPLETELY SPELLED OUT IN ADVANCE.
THE SURPRISES CAME IN THINGS THAT CAN'T BE QUANTIFIED. THE COTTAGE 'FELT' COZY AND COMFORTABLE.
EVERYTHING WAS CLEAN; REALLY, REALLY CLEAN.
THE DECK GIVES YOU A VIEW OF NATURE, PLENTY OF SPACE TO SPREAD OUT AND THE BEACH ALLOWS YOU TO JUMP IN, COOL OFF OR CHILL OUT.
THIS WAS OUR FIRST GATHERING OF THE FAMILY AWAY FROM OUR HOMEAND I HAVE NEXT YEAR'S WEEKEND BOOKED.
WE ARE SO LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT SUMMER!

The property is well maintained and managed! Beautiful view of Lake Erie and just a short drive to Conneaut Township Beach/Park. There’s a few great restaurants to check out near Conneaut. Plus this is a great area to find beach glass! We really enjoyed our stay!!

This property is well off the beaten path so if you are looking for some time away from the hustle and bustle, you have found it.
Everything was very clean and the kitchen had many items that are usually spare at other rentals. The steps to the private beach are steep (as has been indicated) so we drove down each night to Raccoon Park to watch the beautiful sunsets.
We appreciated the communication with the owners via Facebook and in email prior to our arrival.
I would, without fail, recommend this property to others seeking a get away in the Erie vicinity.

No surprises here. The cottage on the lake is exactly as advertised—country living with views, convenient amenities and complete privacy. We are are excited to return.

The house is a perfectly appointed cottage, very adorable. The back porch is nice but hard to see the lake due to all the trees. Its also not an easy walk down the hill/cliff to the lake. Cant swim there too much debris and rocky. The communication was good with the owners who gave great suggestions on where we could go with children. However there were a lot of restrictions such as couldnt use the many stacks of firewood; couldnt use the fireplace. The clean up requirements were a bit much: sweep the floor; clean up any spills; vacuum the carpet; take out the trash; wipe down the countertops in kitchen; wipe up shelves in the refrigerator; and clean the sink mirror and countertop in the bathroom. Also if you have a problem with stairs there are a lot and the only bathroom and all the bedrooms are on the second floor.

We had a pleasant weekend at the cottage on Lake Erie. The interior was clean, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the beds were comfortable. If you open the windows, the sound of the waves hitting the shore will lull you to sleep. We had clear skies Saturday night and the back deck was the perfect place to star gaze. As someone who frequently wakes up during the night, I especially appreciated the multiple night lights in the hall and bathroom.

The cottage was cozy and well-kept. Our favorite activity was walking down the hill to the beach at Racoon Creek Park!

This home and property is a diamond in this area. Away from the hustle and bustle and a perfect place to enjoy Lake Erie and nature, but not too far from activities. Richard and Dianne were great throughout the process and even called to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

This was a perfect spot to get away for a long weekend over the Thanksgiving holiday. Dianne was an extremely helpful, warm, and welcoming person to work with; the hosts have an obvious love for what they do! The home is very clean, well-kept, and inviting. The Lake Erie views and woodsy backdrop are stunning, and the accommodations were perfect for a family of four.

The Cottage was absolutely beautiful. Located right on Lake Erie and next to Raccoon Creek.

The house was as cute as a button, it was clean and fairly well stocked with almost anything that you could need to cook and eat with. Although the Keurig stopped working the owner was prompt about contacting me about the issue once I brought the issue to their attention. One thing to note is that the path to the water is high and steep, while not impassable if you have a fear of heights or have trouble with walking it is better to go to racoon park that is down the road approximately 100 ft or so. Something to note there were a lot of ladybugs. While they didn't really come into the house all that much, there were a ton of them. The double deck has some amazing views and the sound of the lake after a storm was relaxing. The fall views were gorgeous, and the leaves just add to the cozy and quiet nature of the house. The fireplace in the house works well, as does the heating in the house.

Out of the way, few people and the nearest store is 7miles away. Wifi is adequate, never turned on the tv, just lived on the deck and read. Perfect vacation for a IT guy!

Beautiful!!!
It was exactly as described. The property is amazing. The cottage was above and beyond my expectations. It was super clean and very homey. The cottage is secluded enough and gives a nice, private feel. I love the history of the cottage and reading the book was incredible. I really appreciated the owner taking the time to call on our second day to make sure everything was going well. I would 100% stay again.

Family Vacation
We had a wonderful stay! The area is perfect for getting away and having quality time with family! We spent everyday at Raccoon Park which was a perfect little beach for little kids. We forgot our beach toys but they had tons of toys in the basement!! My 4 and 7 year old loved walking down to the private beach. It was so peaceful! The house was very clean!

Excellent location and privacy
This house has everything you need and is in a private location that is not far from Presque Isle, Geneva On The Lake, Walnut Beach, Erie Zoo, etc. plenty of things to do nearby with a beautiful drive along the lake. The access to the beach on the property is steep but not a bad walk with the steps and railing added. We spent an afternoon playing in the sand and along the shore in the waves with our 6 and 3-year-old boys. Beautiful sunsets too! You can see and hear the lake from the house which never gets old. The owners made sure we were checked in ok and had what we needed. plenty of towels for your stay as well. The A/C works very well too when needed!

Great sister weekend!
Lovely cottage in a location that offers privacy with a beautiful view and serene setting but also an easy drive to many attractions. The owners were very friendly and attentive. We all talked about bringing our individual families back because our husbands and kids would love it there too. Spacious and very relaxing!
