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.

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.

The house is so nice. Deanna was so helpful and nice. Everything we needed. Only wish the beds were a little higher for older guests( they are very low to floor). Such a beautiful view!

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.

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.

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!
