Girls trip

Beautiful place! Rained all weekend but the Fisherman’s cottage was cozy and comfortable for the four of us.It is a little bit of a drive to nicer restaurants. But that would not deter me from going back again. Thoroughly enjoyed the space.

It was a great place to stay. There were no surprises. Everything was as I expected. It had a beautiful view of Lake Erie and was just right for a couples getaway.

Hidden Gem

From the outside it didn’t look like much, but when you got inside it was a tranquil beautiful retreat. The hostess thoughtfully stocked the cabin w everything you could need while there. Lots of towels, bug spray, games, a great book collection, and even a record player. The lake view was breath taking at sunset. The only thing that could have used improving was the windows in the sunroom really need cleaned and the outside patio area needed cleaned as well lots of webs and spiders. Those 2 things hardly dampened the stay. We will definitely be back.

Short and sweet!

The host was great to communicate with in advance of our one-night stay and we loved that the cleaning products (soaps etc) were no or low fragrance. Great sunset view over the lake too!

Sweet little spot overlooking the lake

We loved our time at this cozy cottage. It was clean and modern with lots of snuggly spots to enjoy the views of Lake Erie. It was the perfect location for exploring Chautauqua county’s many picturesque towns and villages, both along Lake Erie and into Lake Chautauqua.
