Serenity Lakeside Cottage
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!

Lakefront Apt & boat slip, walk/boat/bike to Bemus
Best view of Chautauqua lake ever to exist and I lived on the lake for decades. Beautifully appointed apartment with all the amenities. Loved the fancy Keurig Machine - very nice.

Lakefront Escape
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.

Gorgeous lake front house w/ private dock
We had a wonderful time. Jean was always incredibly quick to respond to the few questions I had and very courteous. The view was great and the location was absolutely perfect to watch the sun rise in the morning. Thanks for the good memories!

Luxury Farm Getaway at Sunset Hill
This was our 3rd time at this house which is a fantastic family getaway, where you can swim, relax in a hot tub or sauna or play games. We especially loved the new kitchen/Dining room renovations & the new furniture in the theater room & living area. The painting of the swimming pool room looked great. Me and my family & grandkids had a great time. Can’t wait to visit again.

"Meet me at the Creek" House - Elk Creek Getaway
Jason was extremely kind and responsive. His home was so inviting and we loved the fly fishing theme! This property had everything you would need and more. We appreciated the typed out instructions and local recommendations. The hot tub and fire pit were a favorite. Would definitely re-book in the future if we were to ever make it back.

Cabin Suite on 90 secluded acres:)

Westfield Charmer
This was my second stay at this house. It’s my favorite Airbnb by far! We’ll be back for sure!

Tranquil Vibes 6 BED, 4 BR/ 2 BATH Great Location!

Cozy home - Newly renovated
We've stayed here many times. The convenient location is close to everything. Steph is a wonderful host.

Your Home Away from Home with No worries at all
This was, far and away, the best house I have ever stayed in through Air B&B. Every possible thing you thought you needed to bring was already in the house. A fully stocked kitchen, extra blankets, sheets and towels, and even extra bathroom needs. The neighborhood is quiet and within walking distance to both the grocery and a few shops and eateries. You can actually SEE Chautauqua Lake from the house! Wi-Fi and TV options were plentiful, and there are comfy chairs in the living room if you wanted to stay in and catch a movie or a game. In short, I hope other hosts are reading this, because THIS HOUSE is the reason Air B&B exists. I’d stay here every time if I could.

Gorgeous, fully renovated 4 bedroom, two bath home
Lindsey's house was great. Just as described. She answered all of my questions before booking and during our stay. Her instructions were clear and posted so there was no question. The house is in a great location and is easy to find. It's also easy to get in and out of the neighborhood. It worked out perfect for us as we visited our daughter at Mercyhurst University (only 10 minutes from campus). Would definitely rent the house again in the future.

Home Suite Home Erie, 3BR 2B, Presque Isle 1 Mile!
Great place and location! Host is great and communicates well! Highly recommend!

* Newly renovated spacious home with large deck.
This was our second time staying at Mark’s house in Girard. The house itself is lovely, and Mark is always quick to respond and help when we need something (like a shampoo refill). So nice to have somewhere in the area that’s actually dog friendly. For those traveling with dog, note that there is at least one bunny that lives in or visits the back yard — depending on your dog, you might want to keep pups on a leash, even though it is fully fenced in.

The Modern Gem in Erie
Eduardo's place was exactly as advertised. Eduardo himself was easily reachable and very responsive to my inquiries. I will rent this place again every time it is available when I visit Erie

Your guide to Erie
Welcome to Erie
As Pennsylvania’s main gateway to the Great Lakes, it’s fitting that Erie bears the name of the lake it hugs. The popular Presque Isle State Park shows off seven miles of sandy shores in Lake Erie with 11 public beaches. But the area also has plenty of trails to hike, mountains to ski, and courses to golf, drawing outdoor lovers of every kind. The museum scene is just as lively, including the Erie Art Museum, the Erie Maritime Museum, the expERIEnce Children’s Museum, and the Hagen History Center. The Erie African American Heritage Trail traces key events in Black history, and the Erie Mural Arts Tour follows more than 80 works of street art. The growing food scene is well represented at the Flagship City Food Hall.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Erie
With its lakefront location, the weather in Erie is often determined by the lake effect conditions. Generally, late spring to early fall is the sweet spot for pleasant temperatures, making it the busiest time of year to book one of the area’s vacation rentals. In the spring and fall, the temperature can swing from perfectly pleasant to near-freezing cold within a day. Winters are so chilly that the lake tends to freeze over, and snow can fall up to 11 times a month. Festivals are a way of life here, with the Erie Microbrew Fest in April; Pridefest, Bikefest, and Cyclefest in June and July; Celebrate Erie and Erie County Fair in August; Honey Harvest Festival in September; and Downtown D’Lights in December. All through the summer months, there are fireworks after the minor league baseball games at the stadium.
Top things to do in Erie
Presque Isle State Park
This 3,200-acre peninsula curving into Lake Erie is considered the state’s only real seashore — and it sure does lake life right. Besides water activities such as swimming, surfing, scuba diving, boating, and fishing, and land-based ones such as hiking and inline skating, it’s also a popular stop for migrating birds, including many that are endangered.
Hagen History Center
On Millionaires Row in Erie, the restored Watson-Curtze Mansion, built in 1892, is itself a sight, with stained glass, mosaic tiles, and intricate wood carvings. But it’s also now part of the Hagen History Center, dedicated to preserving the area’s legacy. Also on site are the Wood-Morrison House and Carriage House Gift Shop.
Lake Erie Arboretum Frontier (LEAF)
Simply put, LEAF is a tree museum. With more than 1,000 trees in the arboretum that sits inside the city’s Frontier Park, the free park has sections of pine, beech, oak, dogwood, and elm trees, as well as a wetlands area and Cascade Creek running throughout. There’s also a labyrinth, for walking meditations, and a winter garden that showcases plants that peak when others aren’t in season.
