As did Mom, Dad, and Grammy. So fun with a frog pond and making s'mores at night in the big yard. Worth the little bit of a trip to get to presque isle for us." - "The Cottage was even better than advertised. The kitchen was well stocked which is my wife's top priority. The cottage was spic and span and well furnished and comfortable. The upstairs , which we did not use as it was the 2 of us was really nicely done with 2 beds. The screened in porch was perfect for relaxing and reading and you can sit out by the pond and listen to the frogs "ribbit".

- "The house was as listed and very nice and clean. The owner was easy to communicate with and very helpful with explaining the check-in process. We had a great stay." - "My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Hydrangea house. The space is so cute and the details are really impressive. We stopped by their coffee shop and the brew is just as good! Tamara was so accomodating, I wound up blowing a tire and she was so gracious about extending check out and even asked if I needed help. I think the only negatives were that there weren't coverings on any of the doors which are glass-paned and are directly in some sleeping areas (not the primary bedroom) so it feels a little exposed. But if thats not a huge problem for you its a wondeful stay and I highly recommend!"

We would highly recommend this property." - "Best time of our journey" - "An absolutely amazing home! The house was very clean and just beautiful! Even my surly 14 year old said how awesome the house was! The property around the house was spectacular. Everything we look for in a vacation. Simple access to the lake so my boys can go swimming, a big yard for them to play in, and in a quiet secluded neighborhood. The booking process was straight forward and easy. The hosts were fantastic and quick to respond to any inquiries. The entire process was easier than any other vacation I've taken.

- "Elizabeth was a fantastic host! The house looked exactly like the pictures! It was super clean" - "Very beautiful! Clean and well stocked. Loved being right on the lake. The only thing I didn’t like was there were no curtains or blinds on the bedroom windows." - "We saw this property when we were in search of a semi-private but beautiful location for our wedding. This cottage caught our eye immediately. We booked nearly 8 months in advanced because we had to have it. The host was so responsive and so accommodating for us. She sent plenty of information, pictures, and videos in advance. When we arrived the check-in was easy as can be. The neighbors were so friendly as we prepared for the ceremony. The property it’s self was the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed. It’s so cute from the decor to the scenery. The host really goes above and beyond. We will hopefully be back in the near future.

- "Easily accessible, clean and close to everything we wanted to do." - "Cheyenne's place was extremely clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. Everything looked new and worked well. We had a small problem getting in, just because we didn't know that you're supposed to follow the code with the # sign. My daughter figured it out by accident (a big relief). It's a small house -- living room, kitchen, one bathroom, and two small bedrooms, but it was fine for our stay since only one of our kids came with us. She very kindly provided some snacks, coffee, and tea. Be aware the little table in the kitchen only seats two. That was fine, we just ate carefully in the living room. You could probably pull the table out and use it in the LR if you had another chair or two. We enjoyed watching some movies together, and saw an amazing sunset at the little town beach (rocks not sand, but the rocks were really pretty). Mostly, we went back and forth between NE and Erie. Nice little place for a reasonable price."

- "Excellent place for a quick weekend getaway. We had everything we needed at the place, plenty of space for a family of 5 (using both units) and felt right at home. Lake access is right down the lane and it is a quick 25 min ride to Erie/Presque Isle. We weren’t in town for the wineries, but this would be an excellent spot for a wine getaway."
