Family vacation

Property is nice and clean with all necessary tools for a family to enjoy their stay. This rating would be a 5 if the access to the lake was accurately portrayed and communicated. The pictures show access to the lake where there is no safe way for kids to access the lake.

Lovely place to stay in Erie!

Traveled to Erie for a family wedding and our group (including a 1 and 3-yr old) had a great time at Swept Away. The house was stocked to meet our needs while away from home and Janelle was just the right amount of helpful and responsive. The house is as promised by the pictures but the lake views are even more stunning in person. If I ever have to go to Erie again, I’d stay here in a heartbeat!

Beautiful Views

This house is just as advertised. The views of Lake Erie from any place in the house are beautiful. The host provides over and above what you could want and even allowed us an early entry. Close to anything you want to do. We have stayed in alot of vacation homes and this was by far the nicest.

Perfect Get-a-Way

This beautiful lakeside home was a wonderful fit for our family of nine!! Lots of room for everyone to spread out!! The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms were spacious and extremely comfortable. We especially enjoyed watching the eagles in the morning and, of course, nothing compares to a Lake Erie sunset!!

Best Girls Wine Weekend Away

Every year, my girlfiends and I book a Girls Weekend and this year Swept Away was our choice this year! We cannot say enough positives about this place. It is a stunning home with views that are priceless. The booking, check in and check out process was flawless. Everything in the home is immaculate and there wasn't a shortage of space for us all to feel comfortable. I don't have enough space for all of the positives for this home. Thank you for such an amazing weekend. We will be back!

Absolutely Perfect!

We rented this beautiful home for an impromptu weekend trip to celebrate our daughter’s 13th birthday with a few of her friends. It could not have been more perfect. The house was comfortable and so so clean. The view is absolutely stunning. But the best part was the wonderful owner! Communication was great and she went completely above and beyond to make sure that we had a wonderful stay and a memorable experience. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back!!
