Great stay at the Fisherman’s Retreat!

We had a great stay at the Fisherman’s retreat! This place is in a great location. It was very clean and had everything we wanted. The hosts were very accommodating and even worked with us when we had some issues with our booking (which was our fault). I highly recommend this property to any fisherman or just somebody wanting to enjoy Erie!

Very nice little house with its own charming nuances. It’s a bit snug with our party of 6 but brings us closer together. The second bathroom was a great benefit from the last place we rented. Outside area is very large and the fire pit worked very well. Plenty of parking. And lastly, the owners were super great. Brenda was accessible by text or phone and brought us a new gas tank for the grill in a jiffy when we needed it. Thank you so much Brenda and Tibby. God speed.
