About this property

Heard it Through the Grapevine is a charming 3 - bedroom house in North East PA.

Heard it Through the Grapevine is situated on a private street across from Lake Erie. The backyard is large with a vineyard in back, a fire pit with tables and chairs, plus a patio with outdoor seating and an 8 person table. We ask that guests please bring/purchase firewood to use in the pit. There is a nice deck in front to have a drink and view the lake and the gorgeous sunsets. A few houses down is a private access to the lake where you can bring kayaks, walk, or go for a swim. Two parks are within a mile of our home as well. As summer ends you smell the grapes, and can enjoy 20 close by wineries. The wineries have tastings and other events year round. Mazza winery is a quick walk from our home. The area is great for walking, biking, and fishing. We have a long driveway to park boats and other toys. Outside games are being added this Spring.
The house is a 3 bedroom, 2 full bath spacious home. There is a large family room with a new tv, dining room and our favorite area is the sunroom where you can play games, eat at the table, view the private yard, sit on the comfy furniture, and listen to tunes and enjoy our bar. The kitchen is well stocked with multiple sets of dishes, silverware, and glasses. We have 1 king, 1 queen, and 2 bunks. All mattresses are new. A tv is available in the master bedroom.Lots of pillow choices, and blankets are available for your convenience. There are 2 laundromats close in town to refresh anything.
Come enjoy the serenity! This is our second year hosting. We have had families, girlfriend get aways, fishing contest participants, couples, and teachers come. There is always something fun going on in the area.
We look forward to having you check us out! We have had 5 star reviews last year and are always looking forward to enhancing your experience.

Girls weekend

The house was very clean. The patio was a great place to sit and relax with a view of the vineyard. Short walk to the beach. Great place to stay.

We had two families stay and it was great. Each family had a full bathroom which is nice. Property was well maintained and clean. It does not have central air but the window air conditioners worked great so it was not an issue. Short walk to private beach access was priceless. Mazza winery is walkable too.

If you want to stay near Erie but also visit Lake Erie Wine Country, it doesn't get any better than this house. The vineyards are literally in the back yard, while Lake Erie is basically in your front yard! We saw the most beautiful sunsets by walking just a few minutes down the street to the beach access, and the vineyards in the back yard were the perfect backdrop for family photos. This house had plenty of room for our group of 7, and the back yard was very private, peaceful, and relaxing. Barb was an excellent host, the house was very clean, and the street was very quiet, with minimal traffic. The kids in our group loved playing in the large, flat back yard, and we all enjoyed having fires in the firepit in the evenings. Barb provides plenty of games for your use in the backyard. The croquet set was a big hit! Presque Isle is an easy 35 minute drive from the house, making it a simple commute to visit all of Erie's attractions. We can't wait to stay here again in the future.

We live on the west side of Cleveland Ohio. We have been happily married for 34 years and have 2 married sons. This past summer we became grandparents!!!
Our family enjoys sharing this beautiful space with people who appreciate what it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This area is especially attractive to us because of the private street, kind year round neighborhood, and beautiful views. Easy access to bike trails, walking, great restaurants, and shops are 10 minutes away in town. The private close lake access is wonderful for catching a sunset, canoe/kayak ride. Many people wade or swim in the clean water and look for sea glass.

What makes this property unique

The vinyard in the backyard is very nice. Eating lunch at the table, having a bonfire and enjoying friends in the evening while checking out he stars is very cool.
There are several different places to sit inside and outside to get a little privacy. The house is very spacious, so 8 people work out well. The yard is wonderful for kids to play, and many families have enjoyed the close lake access.
