About this property

LAKEFRONT PRIVACY ON SUNSET COVE

Welcome to Sunset Cove, a private Lake Erie retreat surrounded by beautiful gardens, incredible sunsets and plenty of space to relax and enjoy time together.

Perched high above Lake Erie, our comfortable three-bedroom, two-bath cottage is designed for enjoying the outdoors as much as the indoors. Start your morning with coffee overlooking the lake, relax in the lakeside gazebo, wander through the gardens, or end the day soaking in the hot tub while watching the sunset over the water.

During the growing season, guests are welcome to enjoy our expansive raised-bed vegetable and herb garden. Depending on what’s ripe during your stay, you may find fresh tomatoes, squash, beans, a wide variety of peppers, basil, oregano and other seasonal favorites. Feel free to pick what you’d like and add some fresh-from-the-garden flavor to your meals.

During the warmer months, enjoy our large, private outdoor shower overlooking Lake Erie and the gardens, complete with a relaxing rain shower head and built-in bench. It’s spacious and easy to access for guests who appreciate a little extra room or support.

If you enjoy cooking, our kitchen is well equipped and stocked with a wide variety of spices and seasonings. We also provide Keurig coffee pods, sugar and sweeteners, so your morning coffee is ready when you are.

As evening settles in, gather around the granite outdoor fire pit or cozy up beside the indoor wood-burning fireplace with gas starter. Firewood is provided for both, so there’s no need to bring or purchase your own.

DOG FRIENDLY — UP TO 3 DOGS WELCOME

Dogs love Sunset Cove too! Our large, fully fenced lakefront backyard gives dogs plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors with you.

We also have a smaller, separately fenced private side area directly off the kitchen, with a doggie door providing access back into the house. This area is out of sight of the neighboring dogs and includes a small sunny deck where you can place a dog bed, along with enough outdoor space for bathroom breaks and relaxing.

Because neighboring dogs are nearby, we ask that dogs not be left outside unattended in the main lakefront yard for extended periods. If you plan to leave the property without your dogs, please make sure they are comfortable being left alone and will not bark excessively or disturb our neighbors. Guests should not plan to leave dogs unattended at the property all day.

Sunset Cove is a true lakefront property situated high on the Lake Erie cliffs, so there is currently no direct beach or water access from the property. For a day in the water, we recommend the pet-friendly sandy beach and swimming area at Barcelona Harbor, approximately 7 miles away.

Beyond the beach itself, the swimming area has a completely sandy bottom with virtually no rocks or seaweed, and the water remains approximately knee- to waist-deep for nearly 100 yards from shore. It’s wonderful for kids and dogs to splash and play, kayaking or paddleboarding, or simply carrying a beach chair into the shallows and relaxing in the water.

You’ll also be in the heart of Lake Erie wine country, close to wineries, restaurants and the charming communities of Westfield, New York, and North East, Pennsylvania.

Of course, some of the best days at Sunset Cove are the ones when you never leave — pick something fresh from the garden for dinner, enjoy a glass of wine in the gazebo, soak in the hot tub, watch an unforgettable Lake Erie sunset and finish the evening around the fire.

Come to Sunset Cove, slow down and stay awhile.

We only gave a 4 for cleanliness, due to the small bugs and spider webs. We understand that it's because of the proximity to Lake Erie and the abundance of floral gardens in the back yard. The beauty of the lake and gardens made it easy to overlook.

Great stay. The outdoor area is fantastic, a flower and rose garden leading to a well-furnished gazebo offering a movie set view of the lake and sunsets. The weather favored us. The covered deck was seater for any occasion. The interior was cozy, well-appointed and furnished for comfort. We all enjoyed our time on Lake Erie.

This is truly a piece of paradise with amazingly fragrant flowerbeds and winding paths all within a perfectly landscaped property high above the cliffs of Lake Erie. The fenced in yard was yet another bonus allowing us to bring our dogs who loved running in the yard - trust me they were smiling our entire stay. Every room was filled with touches of charm & elegance - topped off with fresh garden flowers. It was a seamless check-in & kitchen was stocked with all utensils needed. Everything was amazing,

This property "home" was excellent. When you walked into the front door it felt so warm & inviting. Everything little detail was taken care of for you. Everything that you could think of needing for a weekend getaway was there in the house. You can tell that the owners really had their guests in mind. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in this area.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Marshall or Chris Hayes

Host profile image
We are avid gardeners and water enthusiasts, and have totally transformed this property from top to bottom, inside and out, to have that relaxing resort getaway feel. It took only 2 short years to plant the expansive garden trails leading to the lake, along with gutting the entire house and coming up with an entirely new floor plan and upgrades. We are very proud of our accomplishment and want to share it with others. Please treat it with respect.

Why they chose this property

My father was born in Erie. I have been coming to Lake Erie since I was a child. We both love the water, sunsets, and relaxing feel of this property. It truly is our "Home away from Home". We hope that you feel the same about it, and will come back time and time again! When we toured the property for the first time in Feb 2016. We knew right away this was a keeper. Even though a lot of work was needed to bring it up to today's you couldn't beat the view!!! So I wrote a check on the spot to secure the property.

What makes this property unique

You will fall in love with the stunning views of the coast line and cliffs. It is especially spectacular on days where the lake is rough with large waves crashing up the face of the rock cliffs.
