Vacation rentals with a kayak in Erie County

From the moment we stepped in the door, Edgewater Escape felt like home. I have never stayed in a place that was so beautifully decorated and fully equipped to make our stay perfectly comfortable. You could tell that the owners put a great deal of effort into providing this home with top of the line everything...from the furnishings, appliances, kitchenware, linens, towels, soaps, and even the outdoor items Our group of eight fit nicely in this home and utilized everything it had to offer. We made s'mores at the fire ring, went kayaking on the lake, played board games at the kitchen table, prepared all our meals in the immaculate and well-stocked kitchen, and grilled and dined out on our deck as we watched boaters pass by. It was a short walk into town to shop or grab a quick snack. David and Gina were there to greet us upon our arrival to show us around and answer any questions. We came for a running race on Presque Isle, but fell in love with this charming home and town.

The house was very spacious and had 3 really nice bathrooms. Common areas had a lot of space and we never felt like we were tripping over each other. Perfect place for quality family time and enjoying the beauty of the lake!

This was my third time staying at Cheryl’s Airbnb—if that’s any indication of how much I love it! It’s truly one of the warmest, most inviting places I’ve stayed. Tucked in a quiet neighborhood with shops and restaurants nearby (including a great bagel shop within walking distance), it’s both convenient and peaceful. The beds are super cozy, the home is spotless, and the bathroom is warm with great ventilation. The kitchen has everything you need—from coffee to cooking utensils—and the living room is full of thoughtful touches like throw blankets and small amenities that show how much care Cheryl puts into the space. The lake is just a short walk away and stunning in every season. Cheryl is kind, quick to respond, and genuinely welcoming. I’ll absolutely be back again!

This was our fourth stay at Jeff and Anne’s beautiful lake home and it just gets better every year. So peaceful and the surroundings are just spectacular. Jeff was quick to respond to our questions and made sure we had everything we needed for another wonderful vacation.

Pros: Great value for the price! The cottage is very close to the docks and boat house where kayaks and canoes are stored, all complimentary with the Airbnb. 3 bedrooms available with comfortable beds. Basic kitchenware was included, but you should bring extra items if you want to do any specialty cooking (a wok for example). No television available, but it's perfect for a weekend getaway. Woods nearby have trails for hiking. Cons: Limited parking if you have a larger party. A maximum of 3 cars could park comfortably, 4 if you double park. Cell service was limited for most carriers. Verizon had 2-3 bars, Virgin Mobile had no service. Wifi is available, but it is limited as well (1-2 bars in most parts of the cottage). There is a road between the cottage and the lake, but it's only two lanes and can be easily crossed. Overall: Very good Airbnb for a weekend getaway! We housed 6 guys comfortably and are very likely to return for future visits. Would recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Excellent location. Beautiful home and surrounding. James exceeded our expectations. We will be back next year!

We had a great stay at Rebecca and Eric's cottage. The layout of the home is great, and it provided more than enough space for four adults and one child. We loved our morning walks to the lake and through the neighborhood - such a peaceful and relaxing setting. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and Rebecca and Eric were very quick to respond to any questions we had. We would love to stay again the next time we are in town!

Beautiful lake setting even for a rainy March weekend. Did get to enjoy fire on the 1 dry evening. Seating for meals was limited but outside table would help in warmer months. Also lower level bedrooms could be warmer. Loved the decor of old school local items.

The cottage is in a perfect location for family to enjoy all the activities at Edinboro lake over the 4th July. Loved the smokeless fire pit. Great front porch to gather on. Would recommend this as a great family vacation destination.

My family and I stayed at Tony’s place for a long weekend and I have to say it was amazing!! First of all Tony made sure that we had proper directions to the property and how to access the house. Upon entering the house we were astounded by how lovely Tony’s lake house is and then the views of the lake were just panoramic!! We could not have found for a better place to stay! We had easy access to our own private little beach, it was literally right outside the sliding glass doors and we could sit on the patio and watch the sun both rise and set. The kitchen was fully equipped, the house was very spacious and we were excited to find a bookshelf full of childrens books which made our little one very happy. Yes there were quite a few steps to access the property but we found the journey up and down the steps very doable and the path was very well lit. It was exciting going down those steps through the wooded property and watching the lake views unfold. We would definitely return!!

5th time staying here to visit our daughter at Edinboro University. We feel right at home each time we go. Cozy, comfortable cottage with all the amenities we need for a great stay! Karen is an excellent host! We will be back👍

Great place to stay. Very quiet and relaxing. It was wonderful to have access to the kayaks and canoes. Also, a decent size table. Kitchen had adequate supplies.

Had an amazing quiet get away! Everyone in town was friendly and helpful! The cottage was clean, well stocked and had more than we could have imagined. Looking forward to a future stay when the weather is warmer! We had everything we needed and more to recharge our batteries.

This cottage was exactly what we needed to do some ice fishing and to go tubing at peek n peek resort. I would love to go back in the summer months to relax and enjoy the Lake view from the porch.
