Charming vacation cottage since 1930 with a spectacular view of Lake Erie

Love this property.

The property is indeed charming with a great lake view. Excellant communication from management and was very responsive to any questions we had.

Stayed here for a family reunion weekend. Kitchen was adequate for preparing our reunion food. The bedrooms were comfortable. Saw some amazing sunsets from the back sunroom. There is room for improvement with TV reception and internet connection.

Clean space. Warm and cozy. Amazing view of Lake Erie. The back porch/lanai was the perfect space to relax and enjoy the view. Communication with the host was great.

Nice house. The host was very good, no issues during our stay

My partner and I enjoyed two nights here; we had a lovely view of the sunset, and then so many stars after night fell! Place was clean; AC, heat, and wifi all worked well. Rick was an excellent host.

Two of the bedrooms the bed didn’t have fitted sheets looked around couldn’t find any. Both front and backdoor the steps were too high to get in and out of easily. But it was a fun time with my sisters.

We really enjoyed our stay at the little cottage. It was really cute. We used the back screened in porch a lot to play games and to enjoy the view of the Lake. We would go there again.

A quaint cottage.

Our host was wonderful. We were met by one of the cohosts and given a warm welcome. Everything was clean and neat and exactly as described by the VRBO website. Excellent communication from the host who had previously answered all of our questions. Canary Cottage is beautiful and its view of Lake Erie is breathtaking.

Cute cottage, nice accommodations, great view, would have enjoyed the back enclosed porch if it had been cooler. Flooring seemed soft in a few places.Enjoyed meeting host’s elderly father.

The host was super helpful and the view was lovely. The cottage was definitely showing it's age though. Looks like work is being done, but still needs some work

We spent a long weekend at the cottage on our first trip to Lake Erie with an 8 year-old and 7 month-old in tow. This cottage was in a quiet location yet only a minute away from a great park and beach area with free parking. I loved the charm of the old cottage and spent a lot of time taking in the view of the lake from the screened in porch. It was clean and the host was great with communicating with us. We would definitely stay here again. It provided for a relaxing trip for us.

I have sent a very long email to the owner, Rick, about all the problems we had at Canary Cottage. There were things we loved about the place and things that he thinks are “lack of polish,” “charm,” and keeping original character, but in reality are simply run down and needing repaired/replaced. The location and view of Lake Erie is amazing but there is no direct access to the water and no barrier to keep anyone from falling down the steep bank. This could be dangerous for children. There is no dishwasher, no central AC (one large wall unit,) no awnings/gutters/downspouts, no driveway or sidewalk to the front door (because of all the rain the front yard was a swamp,) limited workspace, and too few utensils. The microwave blows out a breaker every time it is turned on – the breaker box is behind the flower picture. The bathtub is so bad that I didn’t even want to stand in it, and clean towels are left out in the open near cooking odors. The hot water tank was not turned on, and the kerosene heater is a fire hazard that should be removed as the electric heater does a great job of heating the porch. We did not see eagles, but we did watch bulk carrier ships pass by. Go see the covered bridges – they are fascinating and each is unique in style. Go to the beautiful public park and beach a mile north and walk the brand new boardwalk, continue to the observation deck. You will have to drive to Ashtabula or Erie to eat out as we only found a few pizza places, McD, and DQ in town.

We had a great time at the cabin. Right on the lake with beautiful views and everything we needed, and the property manager kept in touch making sure everything was good. Highly recommend and we hope to visit again.

Very nice lake view, 4 seasons rear patio was fantastic for playing cards, or just watching all the wildlife. While there we saw a huge eagle.

Walked in the front door and gasped at the Lake Erie view. Outside, you can hear the waves and watch numerous birds, including bald eagles, fly right by. Rick and his dad are attentive and thoughtful hosts. My husband loves to swim and Rick forwarded lake temperatures ahead of our visit! Public beach is but a mile away. We will be back!

I look forward to this weekend all year and it never disappoints! The view is EVERYTHING! Clean, comfortable cottage lacks nothing. New friends made at the park’s beach and a visit with our known friend, Mr. Ross. I highly recommend this little cottage!

One of the things we liked most about the property was the glassed in porch that overlooks Lake Erie. We spent a lot of time out there.

What a wonderful cottage on the lake. The view was spectacular and the sunsets were remarkable. Would definitely stay again (and the host responded quickly to texts.)
