We enjoyed the quiet, peaceful setting with a country feel yet just minutes away from wineries, coffee shop, restaurants and the Lake. The owners have made good use of the space and provided us with some nice, thoughtful amenities. The bed was comfortable and the place was cheerful and clean.

Our family (2 adults, 2 kiddos) had a great stay! The frog pond was a huge hit as was the proximity to the beach. We loved the house and found our stay really cozy. As others have noted the stairs to the loft are steep but the handrails help and the kids were really careful. They LOVED the loft bedroom and the beachy decor. Really cute. Minor minor improvements - Maybe supply a broom and a few more towels? We stayed 3 nights and rationed our towels the porch swing isn’t super functional either but that wasn’t really a big deal, if it were though I’d have spent a lot more time on the super cute screened porch. Overall I can tell a lot of thought and love goes into this space and felt really welcome and relaxed there with my family.
House from the yard
Freeport beach and it’s gorgeous sunsets / we spent most of our time here but there was a rip current advisory the second half of the trip - had fun going into Erie and mini golfing etc that day
Frog garden / pond was really cute and lots of frogs!
Yard was really well kept and we played bocce (we brought) and croquet (they have a nice set there and cornhole too!) - I wished the little patio was a little more inviting - again a very minor thing

The cottage was the perfect home for our long weekend trip! The location of the cottage was perfect, very private with a huge yard to run and play in but close to a few stores for the essentials. The frog pond was a favorite of the kids and we had to visit every day of our stay. The house was fully stocked with all the basic items plus a closet full of additional items such as a crockpot and high chair. There were small games and toys both in the living room cabinet and upstairs loft. The stairs to the loft were very steep however there were signs above the top and bottom of the stairs for awareness. Our family would definitely stay again

Great for Families

The property is the perfect place for a small family trip. The location is central to many activities/beaches. The cottage is very well decorated and the large outside space is perfect for a cookout and yard games such as cornhole. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a nice getaway.

Adorable and cozy cottage

We enjoyed a nice weekend at the cottage. The house was perfect for a mini getaway with family. Very cute decor. It was close to the tubing lodge, arcade and other fun things to do with the kids. We enjoyed board games in the evening and made many fond new memories. The local coffee bean house was delicious for breakfast and we had a great dinner at skunk and goat. Thanks to the owners for sharing this special place.

We loved this property! The cottage was perfectly decorated and all of the amenities were impressive. Our teen especially enjoyed the loft bedroom. The frog pond was very cute.

Great Lakes Tour

Located not far from Lake Erie and a great beach and wineries! The house was cozy and the back porch was nice. Steps leading up to the loft were very small, my in-laws couldn’t climb them. Thankfully there was a bedroom downstairs for them. The couch bed is very uncomfortable even my kids wouldn’t sleep on it. Kiddos enjoyed catching frogs in the back. Overall a nice place to stay.

Beautiful Cottage

Stayed for NE, PA 2023 WineFest weekend. Perfect location. Well maintained & CLEAN! It was just the two of us, but could really see a family with couple youngsters/teens enjoying it. Beautiful loft bedroom space with two beds, albeit the steps were a little steep for my decrepit knees😂 Would recommend for a quiet weekend getaway, or a week in summertime. We will book again👍

So cute and cozy!

Everything about this place is cute and cozy. It's small, but every space is utilized wonderfully and there's a great screened in porch. My two boys, 4 & 6, absolutely loved the place! As did Mom, Dad, and Grammy. So fun with a frog pond and making s'mores at night in the big yard. Worth the little bit of a trip to get to presque isle for us.
