North East, Pennsylvania
Exclusive Lake Erie Cottage
Retaining the original stone walls which were handcrafted by their late uncle, two brothers lovingly rebuilt this farmhouse-style cottage which sits on an exclusive and private point on the shores of lake Erie.
From sunrise to sunset nature puts on a spectacular show in front of his home which was thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the beautiful scenery. The seating options are endless…. Comfortable wicker furniture on the covered front porch, a hammock strung between large maple trees at the water’s edge, a group of Adirondack chairs in the front yard, another group of chairs around a campfire on the beach or inside the front room on a comfortable slipcovered sofa (where it looks like the lake is almost reachable with one’s hand when sitting down) are all perfect spots to enjoy the beauty of Lake Erie.
The interior of the house was designed with family gatherings and entertaining foremost in mind. The open floor-plan features views of the living and dining room from the kitchen. The farmhouse dining table can accommodate up to 8 people while another table in the front room can seat up to 6 people. Both are ideal for spending time enjoying meals or playing games. Outside a large picnic table is perfect for dining, games or crafts. Cafe lighting strung over the hammock adds to the ambience in the evenings from both inside and outside the cottage.
In the living room, the fireplace showcases some of the original stonework and features a large black walnut mantle. This room also provides more comfortable slipcovered seating and is a cozy spot to relax and watch t.v. or sit in front of the gas fireplace. All of the walls throughout the cottage are newly constructed of tongue and groove wood paneling painted white.
The kitchen features upscale appliances, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, glass front refrigerator and farmhouse sink. The open shelving and large windows create a relaxed, nostalgic feel which makes meal preparation inviting. Just outside a gas grill sits on a stone patio among the wooded side yard and is a perfect spot for grilling and mingling with cocktails before dinner. Guests can also relax and keep the cook company while seated on the four bar-stools at the kitchen peninsula. Nearby is a dry -bar/ hutch, complete with beverage refrigerator and ice-maker designed for entertaining ease.

Exceptional
Our stay was enjoyable. The house and location are beautiful. We enjoyed many activities including walking on the beach, star gazing, painting rocks and playing board games. I brought a few kayaks and sue to the pleasant weather we kayaked.
Our vacation at this property was just what we all needed. The home is gorgeous and clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for the week. The kids loved playing along the shore. We had room to set up yard games. The owners were responsive and quickly addressed any questions. We have zero complaints! We would love to stay here again! Thank you for the memories we will cherish for a lifetime!
As usual, the stay was absolutely wonderful! A group of us 8 girls have been returning to this property since we found it...approximately 6 years now. Would highly recommend!!!
The house is beautiful, comfortable, well equipped and immaculate! Enjoyed local restaurants and wineries and hope to return next year for a third round! Beautiful sunsets and Hunters full moon in perfect fall weather:)
The house and property are absolutely beautiful. Enormous lawn with a hammock and string lights, perfect for the kids to explore and play. House was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Beach is rocky but still very accessible from the house and lawn and all of our kids swam (with water shoes). It was wonderful to hear the waves lapping and feel surrounded by water as far as we could see. There is only one set of neighbors in view and they were friendly, and far enough away that we didn't feel we were bothering them playing games on the lawn. Beds and showers were super comfortable and luxurious. The town is quite nice - we had a great lunch at the Skunk and Goat and ordered from both town pizza shops while we were there. The hosts were very responsive during our stay. A pretty perfect family getaway from Pittsburgh!
This was our third time to stay at this great home. It is very well equipped, immaculate, spacious , comfortable, with lake views all around . Accommodating , available hosts. Looking forward to next year.
The lake house is a wonderful get-away for a week of sun. water and eagles. We all enjoy spending time together. Last year we enjoyed having meals outside on the picnic table but this year it was missing...maybe next year it will appear..Fun time was had by all. Thank you
This was our second stay at the property and that should tell you everything. It’s a beautiful and relaxing getaway. We enjoyed seeing so many more eagles this year and had a great time hunting for sea glass every day. Definitely created fond memories!
The listing does not do justice to this home. This cottage is beautiful! Much larger than we expected! The owners were very easy to work with even thought they were out of state during most of our visit. I would not recommend this home for handicapped or elderly who do not walk well. The parking is not close to the cottage and there are no grabbers in the bathrooms. There are also no railings at the outside steps. The views here are to die for! The sunsets are gorgeous! We experienced all kinds of weather during our stay, but never failed to enjoy the skies and water. Where the weather was cold or rainy, we enjoyed the cozy fireplace and family room with windows everywhere to watch the views. We took amazing pictures! If you are not handicapped, this place is to die for! My friends and I teased about how we could buy this place from the owners. They are very nice people and try hard to accommodate your needs. I highly recommend this cottage!
