"Time wasted at the lake, is time well spent" This cozy lake cottage is the perfect place to unwind and reset. Come relax and enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Erie right from the porch! Steps away from a big beach! Rent a bike and ride through beautiful Point Gratiot park. The entrance of the park is steps from our lakehouse, inside the park are beautiful grounds with pavilions, grills, playgrounds, volleyball and a new gaga ball pit! As if, that isn't enough to do, enjoy the hot tub on the porch with sounds of Lake Erie waves crashing on the shore or relax around the fire pit. If fishing is your thing grab a fishing license for the day and bring your fishing rods, we have Crooked Brook Creek that runs right through the backyard! Known for the fish you can catch, lots of small mouth, large mouth, perch and more! The brooke is known to get high after rain and storms so make sure to be cautious.

The house was perfect for my family. We were there for 10days. It was really nice to be close to the lake. It had great yard space and amenities. There were plenty of towels to be used and the best stocked kitchen with pots, pans, plates, and cooking utensils I have ever seen. I had one suggestion to the host for an item to be stocked in the house. It was a laundry basket. The host said they would have one ordered and sent to the house. The host is very responsive to messages. We had a great experience.
Great house, great location. We hope to come back next year.

A great property with a great location steps away from Pt Gratiot beach. Owner was very responsive and property was clean with great amenities. Dunkirk is a quiet small city with a lot of potential. I can see myself returning!
The cottage was cute and very close to the beach. We basically had the beach all to ourselves. The cottage did smell as if someone had smoked in it previously and the hose was broken so it was hard to clean off sand after a long day spent at the beach. Overall, would recommend it!
The property is clearly cared about, and the host has put thought into making one's stay a good one - the kitchen is very well equipped, there are plenty of clean towels, and lots of blankets for chilly evenings. It could have been cleaner (there was debris under the bed and more impressive cobwebs than I'd expect from somewhere that had been cleaned recently) but we would certainly stay there again.
We had a great stay at the Lakehouse in Dunkirk, NY. We always try to stay here when we go home to Dunkirk. The house is located in a fantastic location, just yards from the lake and by one of the city parks. The beds are comfortable and our grandson loves the bunk beds. Everything we needed was available including a washer, drawer and hot tub. Communication is great and and the hosts are very accommodating. Thanks so much for having such a nice place to stay.
Enjoyed the location and the ease of communication with the owner made this a great weekend. Thanks for a nice space to celebrate our son’s college graduation.
We absolutely loved Steps From The Beach! The hot tub was divine. House was so comfy, we could live there! The beach was close although we didnt realize the state park was there and so many vehicles, although we were private. The Roku tv difficult for us Seniors, but oh well!!!!! Overall a relaxing time.
We had a great time! Great spot to really decompress and chill with friends or family for a few days! The hot tub was fantastic! Beach literally a 2 minute walk!
Would suggest updating the porch/fire pit furniture and picnic table.
We enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Lakeview Cottage! It's an adorable cottage with everything you need- we loved the coffee bar and the hot tub!! The listing needs to be updated a little though. Our boys were looking forward to what sounded like great fishing in the creek in the yard, but there is not good access to it and the neighbor said nobody has caught fish out of it for years. The beach that you can walk over to is very rocky, dirty, and not maintained. It looks like at one time there was a place get snacks and to rent paddleboards and equipment, but it was vacant. The nice beach to go to is on the north end of town and isn't the one that is steps from the cottage! The restaurant recommendations in the notebook need to be updates as one of them is permanently closed, another looks completely dilapidated, and the other had reviews saying how dirty it is. So... we enjoyed our stay and the house was wonderful, we just felt that the listing was a little bit misleading as to what is actually steps from the cottage.
We stayed here while visiting family. Location was awesome for our needs.
We loved the easy beach access and nearby trail to the lighthouse.
Owners were super responsive and helpful during our stay.
The hot tub got a lot of use as well. I would recommend and stay again.
We had a wonderful time. Conveniently located to a number of attractions. I had expected the cottage to be right on the beach based on the pictures and description, but it was not. It’s about 100 yards away by way of a beach access road. I would definitely recommend the property to anyone who enjoys quiet relaxation.
We squeezed in a last minute family trip . We were so lucky this house was available ! It was beautiful, comfortable and felt like home the moment we walked in .
Short walk to the beach that was basically empty .
We enjoyed touring the area and a quiet family get away
We absolutely loved our stay here! The house had everything we needed and then some. The hot tub and fire pit are a wonderful touch! I really enjoyed being so close to Lake Erie. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for such an enjoyable stay!!!
