True Lake Beachfront, Stunning Sunsets, Beach glass hunting
About this cottage rental
Come visit us at Steelhead Run offering panoramic views of the sunsets on Lake Erie. You will find this two bedroom cottage to be quite comfortable offering all the utility of a larger home. We have another cottage next door, see VRBO #336835. When you arrive you will find yourself nestled between Lake Erie and Chautauqua Creek on 7 forested acres. Both features can be accessed in less than a 200 foot walk from the cottage. On the beach you can spend time hunting for beach glass and driftwood, or take the half-mile walk along the beach to Barcelona Harbor area to enjoy a bit to eat, a cocktail, or even purchase a smoked fish at the fish market. Barcelona Harbor also offers a marina and a public launching facility to access Lake Erie. Do you want to go fishing? Take a charter out of the harbor, or try and hit the world renowned Steelhead fishery found in Chautauqua Creek. Don’t worry if Lake Erie is a little too rough on that day for boating. Make a trip to any one of the four inland lakes a short drive from the cottage. Chautauqua Lake is the largest and closest (5mi.) inland lake to the cottage. Chautauqua Lake offers many attractions available by boat that includes, The Chautauqua Institution, Midway Amusement Park, Long Point State Park, shopping, and numerous restaurant/bar establishments. There is truly something for everyone here. Consider a wine tour if you’re looking to venture away from the lake for a bit. Lake Erie Wine Country, located in the largest grape-growing region east of the Rockies, extends roughly 45 miles from Silver Creek, New York to North East, Pennsylvania. At the end of 2011, it has become home to over 24 commercial and estate wineries. Other attractions within arms reach include Niagara Falls, restaurants, ski resorts, snowmobile trails, nature trails, golf courses, inland lakes, shopping, and a casino, most in less than a 30 mile radius. Additionally, one can find cultural stimulation at Chautauqua Institution. Here you can enjoy their symphony, concerts, speaking venues and theater performances. As a courtesy to the neighboring cottage, please respect the maximum number of guests in our cottages. We do understand that our guests want to share the experience of Steelhead Run with friends and family. Visitors are certainly welcome, but please limit their numbers to insure that there is minimal disturbance to the neighbors. If you are looking for an event location, or anticipate large group size please consider reserving both cottages. We have successfully accommodated events such as small family reunions, church retreats, and even professional photo shoots. We are located ½ mile from the New York State Thruway (I-90), Exit 60. From here, you will find that it’s a quick ride to and from the Buffalo or Erie International Airports.

What a peaceful, beautiful location to spend New Years Eve. We wanted remote and quiet with the ability to walk on the beach and look for beach glass. The cottage gave us this and more. You can walk out the front door and be on the beach in a few steps, and Chautauqua Creek is right next door. The driveway access was unbelievably easy for the remote location. The interior had everything we needed to cook and a huge smart TV for watching football. We will be coming back again and again!

Driftwood Cottage never disappoints! The property is always immaculate, the view and the beachfront are unspoiled, and the vibe is just peaceful. We had everything we needed and more in the cabin. We usually go at the end of December, so this was a lovely fall getaway with peak foliage and unexpectedly warm weather. The owner, Dave, is very responsive - this time he didn’t need to plow us out of a deep snowfall, but if it had happened, he would have been right there. We’ll be back!

We had a wonderful time at the cabin, it was perfect for our family, and our kids had a blast. On days the weather wasnt great, we were a short drive from many activities in Erie and Buffalo NY. We cant wait to come back!

I cannot speak highly enough of our stay in this cottage. We actually rented both properties for a long weekend so you'll see a similar review on the other one! Our host David was incredibly kind. We were originally scheduled to come in the fall but had to shift at the last minute due to illness and he accommodated my request to change dates (and refunded the difference). When there, we asked about trash pickup...and my parents locked themselves out and both times he was incredibly responsive. This also gave me an opportunity to speak to him directly. Doing so only made me feel more comfortable there. The cabins were so clean and the beds were very comfortable. The cottages are well equipped, too! Shower pressure is great, towels are provided and we were able to cook dinner one night. Husband even got in some fishing. We lucked into some great weather (the last night had storms) but we were safe and tucked away. We'll be back! Thank you so much for being such a great host!

This place was all that we had hoped for and more. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed. It was perfectly situated between the lake and the creek with stunning views. We could not be happier and hope to be back soon.

I've been coming back to Driftwood Cottage (and sometimes the neighboring Sunset Cottage) for several years. This was another amazing stay at this beautiful well cared for place with the best of hosts. They don't leave out a single detail and if you choose to book a stay here I have no doubt you will be quite pleased! Clean, comfortable, well decorated, and PERFECT location!

We love to visit this property and have been doing so for at least the last 5 years. Peaceful. Quiet. Easy to get to other places in the Chautauqua region. Thanks to David for welcoming us and our two beautiful golden retrievers. We’ll see you next summer!

My daughter, husband, and I spent a relaxing week with all the comforts of home in this beautiful cabin. The large, lake-facing picture window was our favorite feature, until the steelhead started moving up the creek directly behind the cabin! Then, HIS favorite feature was back there. Surprised, and without his fishing gear, he's hoping to return next year better prepared! The natural beauty of this property offers something for everyone!

The cabin is very nice! The property is level and right on the lake. You can sit in the shade or be out in the sun. There are activities for children. There is also a creek to explore. We had a wonderful time and hope to return next summer.

We couldn't have asked for a better get-away. Everything went smoothly and it was great to just hang out and be together. The house, its location, and its amenities made it wonderful for our family. Highly recommend!

This was a great getaway for my mom and I and our two small dogs! Nice trail by the creek for walking and, of course, the beach! So close to the beautiful water! The reviews are correct, everything you need to make anything is there! Clean and comfy! Can't wait to come back again!
