About this property

Cottage II a very special, quaint and charming place to rest, relax and

Charming, quaint cottage built in the 40's surrounded by woods and nature. Just minutes away from Presque Isle beaches, hiking trails and biking trails at the Peninsula, Asbury Woods and Fairview Park. Kayaking, canoeing, birdwatching, kiteboarding, and windsurfing at the Peninsula is forever favorites. Concerts at sunset and music throughout the season for enchanting summer evenings. Great for taking a break from your busy schedule to relax and enjoy the beauty of the outdoor surroundings. Close to all and any favorite fishing spots around. Minutes away from one of the best and most favorite water park on the east coast, Waldameer. Winter brings another season of some of the best cross country skiing around and not too far from, Peak n' Peak. and of course, the Peninsula! Wineries are a favorite in the area and not too far away in any direction. Holidays offer special events for every occasion throughout the area like ZooBoo at the Erie Zoo. Erie IS the best LITTLE BIG TOWN around!

*There is a security camera outside of the property. It is located on the front porch outside and it covers only the entrance area.

**This property is available for shorter time periods upon request.

Quiet retreat

This cottage was cute and perfect for a week of quiet retreat. The yard is surrounded with trees. Those had that secluded feeling without being far away from people. Close to stores and Presque Isle State Park. It was an enjoyable week.

Nice little house

We enjoyed our stay here, this house was a good option for us for our visit. Boat parking is available as well, but it is a tight squeeze. One bed, and a couch in living room. It’s nice being tucked back in the woods a little bit. Would definitely recommend.

Disappointing

Although the cottage had a sweet nostalgic feel to it— there were a number of issues- the worst of which included the TV not functioning, kitchen sink that was rusted out and had no filter, and the bathroom sink sending up sewage- like fumes. Also, there was no communication- no number to call for problems. Wuite disappointed on this one. I’ll have to think twice before using VRBO again

There was no communication from this guest when they could not get local channels. There were a bizillion channels offered on the firestick. Communication from these guests were aborted at that time. They left the place unclean and trash was never taken to the appropriate place as designated. I would not recommend them.

Secluded piece of Heaven

Even though it was close to the highway, you didn’t get much traffic noise. It was wonderfully hidden in the trees, and is close to everything in Erie and Girard. I a like I should tell everyone that they would hate it so there would be more availabilities for me!! 😂

Perfect Cottage for a Couple's Getaway

Perfect little cottage nestled within the trees - peaceful & quiet. Reminded us of our home in the mountains of Tioga County. Loved the decor, comfy furniture & well stocked kitchen with everything that could possibly be needed. The sun porch was the best place to start and end the day. Centrally located to everything we wanted to visit while in the area. Such a gem!

The cottage is not far from the road but the surrounding woods makes it feel very private. The place is cosy, quaint and well equipped. We would recommend this cottage to friends.

Comfortable, clean & convenient!

Very comfortable and clean little cottage perfect for two! Very nice outside space as well equipped with a grill and chairs and a firepit! Unfortunately there were no printed instructions for how to access either the over-the-air digital TV or the Internet-based TV. Not readily obvious to this old dog but we were able to figure it out after some canoodling! I gave this property a 4 out of 5 star rating only because 1) the pricing is misleading as you get charged an additional rate when you add a second guest, and 2) you can't book this property without first agreeing to purchase their damage insurance (which is an additional up-charge). I have other insurance that would cover me but wasn't given an option to opt-out. A nice property!

Cottage in Fairview

We enjoyed our stay. Nice little cottage near a lot of things. Very close to Presque Isle and Erie. It has a secluded feel to the place with woods all around but it is just tucked back a lane out of sight. We did have some trouble with the satellite TV, no signal for a whole day and next morning, but otherwise great place.

The cottage over all was nice. Dated but still decent enough.

Renting was easy but I think having to pat additional for each person made it a bit pricey plus the cleaning fee as well.

Cute and Cozy

Property was great. It was warm, cozy, clean, and perfect for our long weekend fishing trip. We were able to cook dinner every night after a long cold day on the streams. Melodee was quick to respond to any messages, and had the cottage ready to go for when we arrived late.
