Very nice place! Charming, clean, lovely decor, organized, well stocked, and gorgeous views. Only slightly disappointed that we couldn't walk to the creek directly from our back porch. But the walk up the road wasn't far. We would definitely stay there again.

We had another great stay at the property! The weather was cold out but the house stayed nice and warm. It has a well stocked kitchen and plenty of open space on two levels. The owner and the property manager were both very responsive.

We had a great time went to the beach provided for us. Went to the beach with the lifeguard. Laid out on the beautiful deck. Enjoyed the local food and drinks. Amazing sunsets all three nights of our stay. Cottage was very relaxing and comfortable.

Weekend getaway.

Best Erie Rental we've had

The house is so clean and inviting. I’ve never felt more at home and comfortable, right from the beginning. Access to the lake couldn’t be any easier and the creek is wonderful to sit and watch the birds. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I definitely would! We will be back!

Second year

For our family, this is the best place we’ve stayed in Erie. The location is perfect for what we like to do. The owner is so responsive to any questions. The place is so clean…. I feel at home the minute I walk in. My 99 year old father-in-law says he remembers the place and would love to live there! North East is such a friendly town….we enjoy it so much. Can’t wait for next year!!!

A Beautiful Birthday Escape To Freeport Beach

From the moment I arrived, the hospitable property owner made me feel right at home, surprising me with a lovely birthday card and a complimentary local wine that added a personal touch to my celebration. The beach was a treasure trove for sea glass finding. My family enjoyed fishing at 16 mile Creek and kayaking at Presque Isle in the tranquil waters. Each evening culminated in breathtaking sunsets that painted the sky in vibrant hues, creating a bright and beautiful backdrop. We made memories of a lifetime just enjoying the simple things. I highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a family getaway.

Better than expected!

Had a weekend event that brought us to the area, and decided to make it an elongated weekend with family and friends. House was clean, very accommodating, and overall better than expected. The space was much larger than expected and the layout was great for allowing personal space and also group gatherings. Creature comforts like Tupperware seem insignificant but small things like that make it so much easier, convenient and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
