Lake Erie Lakefront Custom Built Cottage ~ Amazing Sunsets ~ Private!
Lakefront Cottage Retreat on a Private Point in North East, PA Lovingly rebuilt by the owners, this Lake Erie retreat combines handcrafted charm with modern comfort. The cottage retains its original stone walls, crafted by the owner’s late uncle, and is now nestled on an exclusive, private point along the shoreline—where sunrise to sunset views take center stage.
Designed to fully embrace the natural beauty of Lake Erie, the cottage offers a variety of peaceful places to unwind. Enjoy coffee or cocktails on the covered porch’s wicker furniture, sway in a hammock under the maples at the water’s edge, or gather around the Adirondack chairs in the yard or the firepit on the beach. Inside, a cozy, slipcovered sofa in the front room offers panoramic lake views that feel close enough to touch.
The open interior layout is made for gathering. A farmhouse dining table seats up to eight, with a second table in the front room accommodating six—perfect for meals, puzzles, or game nights. Outside, a large picnic table and string lights over the hammock add extra charm to evening dinners or laid-back afternoons.
In the living room, original stonework frames the gas fireplace with a custom black walnut mantle, creating a cozy nook with slipcovered seating and a TV for quiet evenings indoors. White tongue-and-groove wood paneling throughout the home gives the cottage a clean, timeless feel.
The kitchen is designed with entertaining in mind, featuring upscale appliances, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, farmhouse sink, and open shelving. Four barstools at the peninsula invite casual conversation while cooking. A dry bar with beverage fridge and ice maker adds convenience for entertaining. Just outside, a gas grill sits on a stone patio surrounded by trees—perfect for evening grilling and gathering.

Susan you are one of our favorite guests and we appreciate you and your kind review and beautiful pictures. Looking forward to seeing you next year!! Sam
We were delighted with this property! Amazing location. Beautiful cottage. I enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the waves. (There are white noise machines in the bedrooms if you need them). Bring your binoculars for star gazing and bird watching. I saw an eagle in flight!The driveway down to the house is rock and gravel, so it's a bit bumpy. When you get to the bottom of the driveway, stay to the left.
The house was absolutely beautiful. The property was clean and exactly as described. The first floor open floor plan was incredibly comfortable and relaxing for my entire family. The beach area was also spectacular. The rocks take a little getting used to, but having access to the lake from you back door was just amazing. The water was comfortable for swimming and there was plenty of shade from the trees. I really cant say enough good things about this property and the owners. Everything was perfect and we cant wait to go back again.

Our stay was enjoyable. The house and location are beautiful. We enjoyed many activities including walking on the beach, star gazing, painting rocks and playing board games.
I brought a few kayaks and sue to the pleasant weather we kayaked.
I had a wonderful long weekend with my college roommates and friends. The property was absolutely beautiful and the house itself was just as amazing. It was furnished perfectly and had such warm and inviting areas for us to catch up on our lives. None of us wanted to leave and we will be coming back again soon!
This was our second time to the cottage and it was just as perfect as the first. The home is stunning, so welcoming and comfortable we didn’t want to leave. Sam and Dave are wonderful hosts everything you need is there. We can’t wait to go back!
Beautiful property, beautiful setting, beautiful home, amazing sunsets! Owners are kind and welcoming! Will be back next year!! Thank you, Sam and Dave, for another incredible week on Lake Erie!

Thank you Susan!! We look forward to your visits every year and especially for the beautiful painted rocks you leave us! It is always a pleasure!!
Great property as advertised!! Very comfortable beds. I could go on and on but just read property description and know it will be better than says! Actually more spacious than the photos show. Being so close to home we had a few day visitors who promptly went home and booked a stay for themselves!

Thank you so much Debbie....we always love having you and it's so nice to hear that you had a relaxing time. Come back soon!!
This was our second stay at the property and that should tell you everything. It’s a beautiful and relaxing getaway. We enjoyed seeing so many more eagles this year and had a great time hunting for sea glass every day. Definitely created fond memories!
We came back for another piece of heaven. I can’t say enough about the cottage it’s just a wonderful experience, total relaxation. Walking on the shore line my 6 year old grandson found sea glass and was so happy with his find that when he left he added it to the jug as he wanted to leave it for the owners to thank them for our stay.
