We were very pleased with the dog friendly house, especially the Dog Wall of Pictures. They thought of everything to make us and our two Whippets welcome. Dog bowls and towels to wipe paws if necessary. Everything was provided to make our week so relaxing and enjoyable. We plan on coming back because the location was so convenient to stores and attractions. Even the LucyDesi Museum.

Nice Stay Highly recommend

This was a nice find! We had a great stay and loved the attention to details. We were in town to visit family & family reunions. The location was one of the reasons we chose to stay here, and it did not disappoint. We could get to all the places we needed within 5-15 minutes. We will definitely be back in the future when we need a place to stay when visiting. Thank you so much!!

Perfect set up

Close to everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room for everyone. Neat little binder explaining the house and the surrounding area. Suggestions for places to eat that highlighted place where your dog was allowed to tag along. House well stocked for a short stay for both humans and pups.

Great Stay in Erie!

We were happy with the house and the location during our stay in Erie. While we didn't get to enjoy the lake, its in a great location. Chris was very helpful during our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was clean when we got there and perfect size for what we needed.

Perfect weekend getaway…

The house and yard were well cared for and nicely updated and equipped. The location was the best part for us being walking distance to Waldameer and a 3-5 minute drive to the entrance of Presque Isle depending on lights. It’s advertised for dogs but we couldn’t even tell. Big kitchen, nicely decorated, comfortable beds and main level laundry. The neighborhood was quiet and clean. We’ll definitely be staying again.

Great location for fishing presquile bay

It was nice having a grill to cook on. There was everything you would need in the house. Just like at home. Had a hard time getting my boat in the driveway so I put it up the road at a boat storage place. The mail box is to close to the driveway making it difficult to back a boat in. Other than that the place was great.

Erie Family Visit

We stayed with our dogs to visit family in the area. The owner was very responsive to any concerns. The house was exactly what we needed. The beds were comfortable. We would have rated cleanliness as higher if the floors had been cleaner. Everything else was very clean and we don’t expect perfection with such a dog friendly rental. We would recommend this to other families.
