lake house 2

BonnieRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Wendy's Lakehouse was exactly what my husband and I needed for our mini-retreat after our daughter's wedding. We were mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted when we arrived; but after a couple of days of complete quiet and privacy in the house, walking and laying on the private beach, listening to the water, watching the sunsets, and basking in the fresh Lake Erie breezes: we felt restored and refreshed. The only thing that disappointed us was that we couldn't stay longer... life rolls on! 😅 Within hours of our arrival we were making plans to return- next time with our 4 sons- as soon as possible! We even were dreaming about bringing future grandkids in years to come! 🥰 Thank you, Wendy, for providing this peaceful retreat!

Lakefront Escape

ReneeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had such a great time and already cannot wait to come back. The house was extremely clean, had everything you need, and offers the most beautiful and private view of the lake. It has the perfect view of the sunset! Jeff and Anne were extremely responsive if we needed to reach out and made the place feel right at home. There are a ton of areas within the house and around the property to relax and see the lake. Also a quick drive to restaurants and grocery stories and the neighborhood is very quiet and safe, perfect for walks. Would definitely recommend!

Crystal Beach Executive Waterfront Lakehouse

SabrinaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My recent stay at the lake house was nothing short of magical. Nestled among towering pines, the location offered breathtaking views of the shimmering water, perfect for morning coffee on the deck. The house was charmingly decorated, with cozy furnishings that made it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing for delightful family meals, and the outdoor fire pit was ideal for evening gatherings under the stars. I particularly enjoyed the tranquility of the surroundings, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Overall, it was a refreshing retreat, and I can't wait to return!

Erie's Edge lakefront, Point Pelee, Hillman Marsh

JanetRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This house is amazing! Patsy and Charlsie put a lot of thought into creature comforts - chargers for electronics in strategic locations, plenty of blankets for lounging, lots of seating, Keurig with kcups, as well as shampoo/conditioner. Not to mention plenty of reading material for those early mornings. The house is very cozy and well maintained. We felt immediately at home. We never felt like we were in someone else’s home. The deck area is beautiful but the weather was uncooperative so we were not able to enjoy it as much as we wanted. Wheatley itself is very quaint with a few excellent options for food - iScreams, and Renny’s to name a couple- but Leamington is a short drive away and has more choices. We had a great time and had no trouble communicating with Patsy or Charlsie. They were proactive in getting information to us and very responsive when we had questions. I highly recommend this location! Patsy and Charlsie really know how to host an AirBnB! Two thumbs up!

JenniferRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Amazing views, comfy beds, nice space! We saw blue herons every day! Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great so we couldn’t take advantage of the lake for anything other than looking at it from inside, but the location on the lake was amazing.

Cozy Lakefront Cottage

WendyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was our second stay at this cottage and will not be our last. The location is perfect. The lake was beautiful on the day we left. The cottage was clean and bright. Farrah adds a personal touch that is welcoming. We like that since there is such a nice outdoor space to sit with coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening, having no TV in the living space is a welcome change. We had our grandson with us and he didn't even miss it. We will definitely be staying again!

Blue Canoe/Upscale Lake Cottage/Chautauqua

RobertRating, 5 stars6 days ago
I was very impressed by how organized and well labeled utensils, supplies, etc. were. The home was nicely appointed in all rooms, as though an interior designer spent several months there! The great room was open and cozy, with lake views from all windows. The kayaking was outstanding. During my short stay, I saw herons, turtles, beavers, geese, goslings, ducks, among others. The fenced in porch/deck was nicely furnished, providing a relaxing spot for morning coffee and a safe place for my dog. All in all, it was a nice spot and a beautiful home.

Farmhouse Retreat-home away from home

NathanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
my wife and I agreed that this is one of the nicest homes we have ever stayed at. The location was private and just a few miles outside of town. so much to do plenty of hiking trails, state parks, and of course right next to lake erie was a plus. I loved that we had so much space in the house for our children. Would highly recommend and we definantly are planning on being back in the future

SeaSide Lake-Front Cottage

RobinRating, 5 starstoday
This was the best place I’ve rented. It was cozy, comfortable, clean. Overlooks the lake, the host made the stay warm and welcoming. Provided a bottle of wine and made himself available for anything we needed. They even provided spices for cooking and cream and sugar for the Keurig. Lots of places don’t do that, we end up buying sugar and cream from a store and never use it all. The decor was so lovely, and the place was well designed and put together. Lots of lights and plugs!! The first night was a little chilly outside but there was an electric fireplace that provided great warmth and ambiance. Check in was a breeze, we felt safe. It had two bathrooms which was great!! I will be booking it again for future stays.

Unique Guesthouse on Lake Huron - Great Sunsets!

KanaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
It was the perfect space for a relaxing and peaceful weekend. The guest house was cozy, private and the perfect size for the two of us. The kitchen, bathroom and living area were all well-equipped - we didn’t drive anywhere during our entire stay. The view from the house was amazing! We also enjoyed the community beach and tennis at the community court. Everything was beyond expectation! Jim and Rachael made us feel at home and also helped us to enjoy the place more (ex. Setting up fire pit and kayak etc). The dogs were really cute and friendly. We will definitely come back!

Your guide to Lake Erie

All About Lake Erie

The smallest of the Great Lakes, Lake Erie's shores touch four states — Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York — as well as Canada. And its 700 miles of coastline provide plenty of opportunities for recreation on all sides, with activities such as kayaking, boating, swimming, and even surfing popular year-round.

The Presque Isle State Park in Pennsylvania has miles of beaches and thousands of acres worthy of exploring along with lighthouses and several species of endangered migratory fowl for birdwatching. At the same time, the Maritime Museum of Sandusky in Ohio details the lake's fascinating history, from maritime exploration to ice harvesting to the Sandusky leg of the Underground Railroad. Several major metropolitan areas are located directly on the shores of Lake Erie, providing numerous options for entertainment and exploration.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Erie

Due to the expansive area that Lake Erie covers, there will be local nuances and variations in seasonal weather patterns depending upon where you happen to be staying. But, in general, temperatures will vary drastically between the summer and winter months, along with levels of rain and snow. Summer tends to see warmer temperatures, high humidity, and minimal precipitation, creating conditions that can be excellent for swimming, boating, and other lake-bound activities. The winter season brings consistent below-freezing temperatures and the potential for significant snowfall. During this time, the lake has been known to freeze over. If looking to enjoy the water, or other outdoor activities, consider looking for cottage rentals during the summer or shoulder seasons.


Top things to do in Lake Erie

South Bass Island, Ohio

With stunning limestone cliffs, coves, and crystal geode-tinged caves, South Bass Island makes for an excellent day trip if you happen to be on the Ohio shores of Lake Erie. Located just off the coast of Gibraltar via a short ferry ride, the island is known for its boating and fishing along with some fantastic seafood restaurants and an historical museum.

Buffalo, New York

Buffalo is a moderately sized city on the easternmost edge of Lake Erie. Besides acting as a hub for many lakeside activities, it’s also a nice place to poke around for a few days. Wander the tidy downtown to get a taste of the iconic Art Deco-style architecture pioneered in the area, order a plate of buffalo wings (said to have been invented here), then check out the majestic Niagara Falls that borders the city.

Erie Bluffs State Park

This Pennsylvania state park covers roughly 600 acres with over a mile of shoreline and dramatic 90-foot bluffs that overlook the adjacent Lake Erie. The park is home to several ecologies unique to the area, like the black oak woodlands and fishery streams home to bald eagles, bank swallows, rainbow trout, fairy shrimp, and wood frogs. Swimming is prohibited in the park, but you are welcome to enjoy the rocky shores and trail systems located throughout.
