En sjarmerende 1930-tallshytte med utsikt over Lake Erie

Canary Cottage is consistently reviewed in the top 10% of properties, according to, across platforms, over 500 reviews celebrating its charm, location, and Lake Erie views. This guest’s review is an outlier. We’re puzzled by its tone and inaccuracies. From her initial inquiry, this guest displayed unusual behavior, including visiting the property unannounced before booking, which is inappropriate. Just after booking, she complained about our driveway, despite having visited. During her stay, we checked with her 24 hours after arrival; she reported no issues. She didn’t raise any concerns during her stay, despite our encouragement to do so. Addressing some of her misleading claims: Dining Options: The guest stated you must travel to Ashtabula or Erie to eat out. In reality, within three miles of the cottage, guests can enjoy a variety of dining, including a guest-favorite casual restaurant, an upscale eatery, Italian, Chinese, and Mexican restaurants, a breakfast café, a bagel shop, burger joints, and more. The Conneaut area is rich with excellent non-chain dining options. We gladly provide guests with personalized recommendations upon request. Hot Water: The guest claimed the hot water tank was off. Our 1-year-old, top-of-the-line, WiFi-connected hot water tank was fully operational, used by our team before her arrival, and showed no issues after her departure. Had she contacted us, we would have addressed any confusion immediately. Gutters: She noted the lack of gutters, which is accurate but irrelevant. The cottage has no basement, so gutters are unnecessary, and their absence does not impact the guest experience. Beach Access: The guest suggested there’s no direct water access. The cottage, built in 1930 to accommodate visitors to one of Lake Erie’s top beaches (opened in 1926), offers easy access via a sidewalk or short drive. Guests can park and walk directly onto the beautiful beach or a boardwalk—no climbing required! Our elevated lake views and close proximity to a top beach are the reasons we have so many regulars. Air Conditioning: The high temperature during this guest’s visit was in the mid-50s. She has no idea how our AC works. Why comment? Electrical System: The cottage’s electrical system is fully updated. The guest tripped a breaker by plugging an electric heater into the same circuit as the microwave. Had she reached out, we would have immediately helped. Porch Heater: The supplemental porch heater is new, modern, equipped with all available safety features, and only used in the coldest weather. Canary Cottage and the Conneaut area are beloved hidden gems, as hundreds of reviews attest. We’re disappointed this guest chose to write an inaccurate and hostile review.
