This was perfect for our family of 7 to escape and watch the solar eclipse. The house was well appointed with everything we needed, the porch was a great additional space (must be AMAZING in the summer) and it was super quiet and enjoyable. I’d recommend to anyone who needs a 4-bedroom stay.

We had a wonderful experience at this house! The photos do not do the propert justice! It is generously sized with more than adequate room for family gatherings and sleeping arrangements. We played games arround the fireplace and watched movies after long days of skiing. The amenities in the kitchen were awesome. Closeness to the slopes was perfect! Our non- skiiers were able to hang out at the house and meet up with us at the lodge for dinner and it was onlt a 10 min drive. We would definitely stay again. The host is very responsive.

Nice house, really nice property. Friendly management. They have there really nice kayak launch just down the road. Loved the antique store near by, also friendly lady there. Just a nice little area and just a short trip to Erie, Pa which is a plus for us.

There were 10 of us that comfortably shared the house - 5 adults and 5 kids aged 11 and under. Loved the fact that there were two living rooms, a great deck, access to kayaks and bikes! The kids had a great time on the trampoline and zip line! They are all asking when we can come back and stay again!

High tech required
We started out with some issues out of Owner's control - electric went out in the area for a few hours and then furnace didn't work. But the rest of our problems were from the information not shared and the technical devices required in order to function in that house. Couldn't get any TV's to work until we got the recreation room TV to work through a hotspot we had on one phone which then ran out of gigs. Other Tv's never worked. Couldn't get details of rental because my i-phone 6 doesn't have enough ios to get the vrbo app. Two of our college student grandkids left on the second day because they couldn't get school work done without WiFi. Two other students may have suffered from not getting school work done online. Grandma wanted to leave the first night with the cold and lack of TV which she has on night and day at home. We came to watch the Super Bowl and would have missed that because of using up all the hotspot phone gigs by Sunday. Saved by renewal of new month of gigs from start of new service cycle on the phone. Assumptions and expectations of the level of function of the renter is way beyond what we are familiar with. We are not up to date with the latest devices and experience with streaming, etc. At least the Owner/vrbo should have described what it takes to communicate with them and run the equipment in the place. To say there are TV's in bedrooms which we could never figure out how to operate is misleading. The decoration of the place and all the amenities otherwise were great - but I am a practical person. With a high price we sure felt ripped off by not even having what we have operating at home. We have a Smart TV at home. We aren't up with social media, but we all are educated - adults have bachelor's , master's, or Ph.D degrees. Three grandkids at Ohio State. This was a nightmare. I hope we took care of all the steps for departure, since I couldn't access the information online. I am sure we did better than the Owner/vrbo. I couldn't check my home security, on and on with related issues.

Beautiful Home
We had the best mini family getaway. Jen the owner was amazing and answered any questions we had promptly. Her house is beautiful and so comfy. Has everything you need and more. About 10 minutes away to skiing and you can snowmobile right off of her property. Thank you again!!

Charm and beauty
We enjoyed our stay in this beautifully decorated home, which has lovely views of the large wooded lot. The lake is just a walk across the street and there are quaint shops. We were able to snowmobile right onto the designated trail from the house and peak n peak is a short 6 mile drive. This is a great family location with lots of activities for all seasons.

Wonderful weekend getaway!
The house was very clean, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the setting was serene and the backyard hot tub was the best. There were a lot of toys that we were not expecting and it made the weekend extra special for our children. The snow fell for 2 days straight and the secluded setting of trees and lake made it a magical winter wonderland. The plow came to plow the driveway every day. The house could benefit from having a welcome booklet for guests to go through all the little details that one needs when staying at someone else's home. Highly recommend this home.

Charming Fall Oasis
This was exactly as advertised, a great place for a girls-trip or a family vacation. There is plenty of space inside and out. We had a delightful time and it was great to get to work with Jen, we definitely want to come back! Also, there was a trampoline we weren't expecting, that even as a group of adults - we still really enjoyed.

We had a wonderful time at Pfarrhaus! The home and land are absolutely perfect. Very clean, well maintained and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed a lot of time outside riding bikes, kayaking, walking in the lovely fall foliage and enjoying the hot tub and fire pit. The kids loved the trampoline which was an added bonus. They’re already asking when we can go back! The Findley Lake area is quaint and has everything you need. There are a lot of interesting things to check out in the surrounding area, which we hope to do on another visit. Jen was also very responsive, accommodating and flexible. Thank you for such a great weekend away!

Very private location, great house
There are many, many positive things to say about this house. It was very clean. Impeccable. Very well stocked. From LOTS of toilet paper, to dishwasher and dish soap, laundry detergent and dryer sheets, trash bags, coffee filters etc. Way more than enough dishes, glasses, coffee cups, and even wine glasses and margherita glasses. Lots of pots and pans. There is a tv in every bedroom and a large one in the back LR. My favorite part of the house is the yard. It was HUGE! Very private. Not another house anywhere in the vicinity. Having a volleyball net would be great. Plenty of room for that. We brought our Amazon echo so we could listen to music. WiFI was excellent. No issues there. Beds were comfortable. I really hate to mention anything negative, but I am, for the sake of improvement and to be helpful. I can tell the owner, Jen, really cares about making her place the best it can be. One thing that was of a big deal to us: We went to get into the hot tub and the temp was only registering 85, and not even warm. It looked like a simple control panel. Up and down arrows for hot/cool. So we kept pushing the up arrow on warm to try to increase the temp. There weren't any instructions on how to operate the hot tub. We finally thought to google the model of the hot tub, and looked up the manual that way. This was probably around 6-7pm? It took the hot tub overnight to finally get hot. We discovered that the hot tub had been in "sleep mode". We didn't discover the manual for hot tub, until the day before check out. It was in a basket on the desk in between LR and DR. So my biggest suggestion would be to have a welcome binder in clear sight. Coffee table, or diningroom table with instructions for the hot tub and also the tvs. Another problem, was we closed the bunkroom door, not knowing it was locked and then couldn't get back in! We finally found the key in a box by the front door. The ceiling fan in the front LR didn't work. Sometimes it was kind of muggy. There is a window AC in the bunkroom and master. The window in the double queen/pink room didn't open, and the couple in there were hot. The master bedroom is generally your "best" bedroom. The tv in there was the smallest. About 15". Also no dresser. So rather than the chair/a dresser would be nice. As would a small clock. Another refrigerator would be great. Even a small one. Bringing our dog was great! Overall it was a great house, and I would def recommend. Thank you!

Relaxing vacation
This home was spacious and decorated quite lovely. The house has plenty of living space and the beds were comfy. Two yards - plenty of room to roam! We really enjoyed having the kayaks and being so close to the public access to put kayaks in the lake. Very quiet area and this was a relaxing vacation.

Perfect for a getaway with family
While initially disappointed not to find a house ON the lake (due to very last minute booking), we couldn't have been happier with this rental house. We had 4 kids under age 5 and it was so nice to have space to run, play, and explore. There was so much yard and the trampoline was an added bonus. The kids hiked through the woods around the house. They roasted marshmallows at the fire pit. They rode bikes all over the property. And when the kids went to bed, there were still plenty of spaces for adults to hang out - indoor and outdoor. The hot tub was enjoyed by all. The kitchen was well stocked. Beds were super comfortable. And the property owner, Jen, was just fabulous - quickly responsive to all of our questions before, during, and after our stay. She also has kindly agreed to mail back something we left at the house, for which we are very grateful!
Our ONLY complaint is that only 2 of the 4 bed rooms had AC units. This typically is not a problem given the lower temps at night but, it got warm and very humid for a couple of days during our stay and the adults in the rooms without AC were pretty uncomfortable sleeping. That certainly would not prevent me from renting there again - but I might bring a fan next time!

Peaceful gem
Comfortable living rooms. Well stocked kitchen. Large flat yard to play in or just lay in the hammock. Wonderful to have use of the kayaks. You do have to drive them to the public drop in on Main St but its less than 1 mile away with free parking right next to the dock so very convenient. Would stay there again anytime.

Family and friends ski weekend
Overall, the property was great. It is conveniently located near a small town area, 6minutes from P'nP' and one block away from the lake. The walk around the lake is lovely. The house was clean, well-maintained, easily accessible, and well-stocked with all daily amenities that anyone would need. There was plenty of room for 3 small families. The owner is incredibly responsive and kind.

Great Girls’ Getaway
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this property for our annual weekend getaway. What a beautiful and cozy house in a very peaceful setting. There are cute shops in town, and the house is 30 minutes to Chautauqua Lake, wine country, and Erie, PA.

Perfect for our needs.
House itself met all our needs. Plenty of room for everyone. The house was clean and felt like home. Just wish there was better access to the lake. The only spot with a beach area was a campground down the road, and we had to pay $30 for a site to use it for the day. Overall loved this spot.

Even better than pictures - great privacy and location to lake -
Stayed here for a wedding over the weekend - Place worked out perfectly for our family. Even better than advertised, plenty of space - two masters, two family rooms - equipped with everything one could need. Most impressive to us was the decor - if it was done professionally - really great job - if it was done personally it might be time for a new career or side gig - beautifully decorated - with so many unique and small touches you could walk through house a few times and see something nuanced that you didn't notice before.
Because we were there or a wedding we were tied up most of the weekend and didn't get to take advantage of the amenities or lake - but if we were going to come back up to the area - summer or winter - this would be where we would want to stay.

Amazing family vacation!
Our family had an awesome experience with this rental. The photos did not do the property justice. The yard was big enough for our dogs and grandchildren to play. The trampoline was an added bonus, we couldn't get the kids out they had so much fun! The short walk/bikeride to town was also a plus!

Great weekend on Findley Lake
Property was just as nice as photos show. Plenty of room for four adults and two kids under seven years old. Cable tv and a variety of streaming services were a hit win everyone. We were there for a ski weekend at Peak and Peak and the property was an easy drive away (about 10 minutes).
We will be back in the summer when it is lake season.

Clean, very accommodating for our ski weekend, and conveniently located 10 minutes from Peek’n Peak
Our family ski weekend was a success, in part because of the pleasant surprise we found with this vacation rental. The owner noted this was their first attempt at a rental property online, and we must admit they are off to a great start. The house was very clean, everything was in order as described on the site, and the location was close to Peek’n Peak, Findley Lake, and the Pine Junction. We will definitely rent again.
