Just a wonderful house. Perfect location for our time on the lake. Mid distance to wineries in PA and NY. The path to the lake was super easy to follow, there were even chairs to use down on the beach and they had towels or blankets at the house that we could use as well. The owners were always quick to respond to questions.

Great Beach House.

We had a great time and stay. Short walk to the fire pit and beach. Very clean inside and decorated very nice. Very cute. New grill outside and plenty of appliances for cooking. I’d definitely come back and stay again.

Anniversary trip

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. We drove up to Jamestown one day for the National Comedy Center and Lucy Desi Museum. It was a long day and it was so nice to come back to this cozy cottage afterwards. Very clean and so much is provided for your convenience (towels, appliances, etc). We will definitely be back! :-)

Beautiful, Peaceful, Well kept Property!

My wife, daughter and I just spent a couple of days at this lovely place. Great access to an awesome, sandy beach area. Beautiful little cottage with a great atmosphere. Just as advertised. Would love to come back again sometime. You'll love it!!

Very clean and close to beach!

Everything was great! Only complaint is neighbor's two large, off-leash dogs wildly and frequently running through the property and defecating on the lawn. If potential guest, or potential guest's pets, are afraid of large, out of control dogs, may need to reconsider.

A delightful cottage on Lake Erie

Overall our stay was very comfortable. It was myself my husband and our dog. The reservation process was mostly easy. However VRBO made it a little confusing for me when i tried to change the dayes of our reservation. Dale was very responsive and helpful throughout. The location was not what i thought i was getting. I had searched for Chataqua Lake. We were actually in Westfield. An almot 2 hour drive from Chataqua Lake. So we made the best of it. Westfield didnt offer much to do so we read a few books and took up on Lake Eries beach which was a short walk from the cottage. We also stopped in Bemus Point and the Lucy and Dezi museum. The cottage was adorable and and had a beach theme, a window ac, washer dryer and all the amenities of home including a propane gas grill.The hosts were wonderful.

Wonderful spot with access to Lake Erie!

We were on the last leg of a two-week fall trip to the East Coast and decided to spend two nights near Erie, PA, to give us a driving break back to the Midwest. We are so glad we did, as this ended up being our favorite spot! The cottage is located at the end of the road with a short, wooded private path leading directly to the shores of Lake Erie. Being able to walk and let our dog run on the beach surrounded by the fall colors was really enjoyable, and we saw a beautiful sunset our second night. There is a fire pit and a small cove for fishing too. The cottage itself is so cozy and comfortable with big picture windows giving you a great view of the trees, and a patio where you can relax and have a coffee or drink. It was perfect for us and it's a very dog friendly area too. Highly recommend!

Perfect cottage, but

The cottage was simply adorable. Did not like neighbors right in our back yard. Dogs ran free throughout the neighborhood, while our dog had to be restrained. Beach access was like climbing Mt. Everest. Steps were extremely steep. Beach area was full of garbage. We were under the impression that we had a fire pit, but when we arrived, the fire pit was a community fire pit away from the cottage. Signage in and out was poor. We finally had to stop and ask.

Nice location! Somehow I timed the perfect weather for this getaway. We felt completely safe and comfortable. We totally appreciated that we could bring our dog, as he loved the beach area. Great time! Such a hidden gem!! Don’t forget to stop in at the lighthouse that’s going under renovation down the road!!
Can’t you just feel the stress roll off your shoulders with this view and a glass of wine?

Peaceful, beautiful!

This was our second stay at Beeches. After experiencing an unexpected loss of a family member; this was a perfect place to "regroup" and look at the bright side. The surroundings and complete presence of nature tend to have a calming effect! The cottage is clean, comfortable with a great collection of books to read. Friendly people and safe beautiful area of vineyards and Lake Erie with its renown sunsets. Great restaurants in the area -but we stayed at the cottage and grilled on the Weber grill provided. If you travel with your pet, you've found the perfect place - very pet friendly. You can't go wrong with Beeches!

Memorable and peaceful weekend retreat!

My husband and I couldn't have been happier with our stay this past weekend! It was literally everything we wanted and more. Extremely clean, cozy, relaxing and supplied with everything we could need! The personal touches, high end furnishings, personality, and care put into the home made it feel like we were staying in a friend's beachhouse and not a rental at all! We absolutely loved the proximity to the beach and the gorgeous trees outside the huge windows where you can hear the waves. Its also 5 min from the cutest town to explore with everything you could possibly want from restaurants, wineries, hiking etc. We were not bored!! Will most definitely be coming back when its warm enough to really enjoy the lake!!! Thank you for having us Dale!

Fantastic Getaway!

We had such a lovely stay at the cottage. Per other reviews, it’s not quite as secluded as we thought from the pictures but was more secluded than being in a normal residential neighborhood for sure. One thing to note, to get down to the lake and back up , you must be able to climb a fair amount of stairs or trek a rather steep incline. Definitely doable but if you have mobility issues, better to know ahead than be disappointed. From the listing we thought the lake was much closer than it was but it’s only a few minutes walk away. Neighbor house butts right up to the cottage but no issues with noise or anything other than someone using a tractor or riding mower at 6:30 am one day. Fantastic central location for day trips (we spent one day at Presque Isle SP) or just exploring the lake and creek nearby. We thought we would have more issues without a stove but they had so many other options to cook we didn’t even miss it and now I need to buy an electric skillet cause that one was great. The cottage can definitely sleep more than 2 with the couch or an air mattress but I think 2 is the max sadly. We will be looking to rent again and hopefully get the other cottage as well so we can stay with friends & family.

Great weekend!

This cottage is beautiful and very clean! It is semi-private in location sharing a long driveway/ road with several other cottages. It was pet friendly which was wonderful as we were able to have our fur baby with us for the stay. I highly recommend for a laid back weekend of beach combing and relaxing. The view from the beach was amazing with a close up look of the cliffs and endless water views.

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived here for over 35 years but have both been coming to this area since we were young kids. We have 6 children, our youngest being 16 and 2 grandchildren. We also have 2 Golden Retrievers who love to visit the neighbors so you will surely see them. Life is pretty busy with work and such but our favorite place to be is home and at the beach.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage truly feels like you are in another world. Its so peaceful and relaxing. Its nice and close to the beach as well.
