Wonderful Stay

A small group of men from our church went fishing in Erie. The house was very nice and had everything we needed. Will plan on staying there again on our next outing to the Erie area.

Edinboro cottage

We went to Edinboro for my daughter’s graduation from Edinboro University. The house was the perfect size, very roomy and comfortable. The location was great too … short walk to the lake , coffee shop and town.The owner was very prompt in replying to texts and emails. He also came right to the house to assist my husband with the lock box . Very professional as well as personable .

Quiet lakeside neighborhood with easy access to food, outdoor activities and shopping. 100 steps to Edinboro Lake at sunrise and you'll get great pictures and some exercise before the day ever starts.If cooking and dining at home is your thing, you'll love the kitchen. The cupboards are filled with every utensil you need to cook, bake, serve and eat. Everything was clean and ready to use.Extremely pet friendly property. The host even left a leash secured to one of the trees in the yard. Your kids or grandkids will love being right across the street from the playground...and you can sit and watch them from the front deck.Highly recommend the value of this property.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the quiet lakeside setting and those sunrise walks to Edinboro Lake. It's great to hear the kitchen was well-stocked and clean, and that the Pet-friendly touches and proximity to the playground made it easy to relax while the kids played. We appreciate you highlighting the value of the property!

Best in Edinboro for a large family gathering

Wonderful to have enough room (beds) and amenities for our family to come for a visit to Edinboro! Home is comfortable and well appointed. Only change we would ask is to secure the bunk beds so they are not so noisy. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Location!

We had a fantastic stay over Thanksgiving with 4 adults, 5 kids and a dog. The location was absolutely perfect. The park across the road was used for HOURS each day by the kids, the streets were super quiet so we didn’t have to worry about a ball flying into the road. The adults that didn’t want to brave the cold could watch the games from the living room and not miss out. Local amenities were very convenient and within a 5-10 minute drive. The house was very clean and decorated for fall and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend for a family or two families.

Good space

The cottage had good space for sleeping. There was a plumbing issue and the owner was contacted on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. He immediately came to see what the issue was and worked on correcting the problem.

Regarding the plumbing issue, we want to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused during your visit.When we were notified about the blocked toilet on Christmas Eve, we worked to resolve the issue as quickly as possible by using an electric drain snake to clear the blockage.

Great family vacation

We rented this property for our daughters graduation from Allegheny College. We loved the cottage and the community was so friendly. We enjoyed having space to spread out inside and the two and half baths were helpful. Great property, would rent again.
