Very nice little house with its own charming nuances. It’s a bit snug with our party of 6 but brings us closer together. The second bathroom was a great benefit from the last place we rented. Outside area is very large and the fire pit worked very well. Plenty of parking. And lastly, the owners were super great. Brenda was accessible by text or phone and brought us a new gas tank for the grill in a jiffy when we needed it. Thank you so much Brenda and Tibby. God speed.

Brenda was a great host but our only concern is that this property isn't handicap accessible. So if anyone has trouble walking up stairs this is not a property for them. The kitchen which was well stocked and nice appliances was the only room on first floor. The living area and bedrooms were upstairs. I must say though the beds were very comfortable.

Great stay at the Fisherman’s Retreat!

We had a great stay at the Fisherman’s retreat! This place is in a great location. It was very clean and had everything we wanted. The hosts were very accommodating and even worked with us when we had some issues with our booking (which was our fault). I highly recommend this property to any fisherman or just somebody wanting to enjoy Erie!

Fishing trip

Love Brenda's place! Our 2nd time staying here for a family fishing trip. Ideally located near Elk Creek and several lakeshore spots. The place was well-stocked, inside and out, for our party of 5. Brenda communicates well and responds quickly to any questions. Highly recommend!
