Graduation Celebration Trip

We had a very comfortable stay. The house has plenty of space and the beds were comfortable. We cooked breakfast every morning and the kitchen is equipped with the appropriate kitchen supplies. Our host gave directions for checking in prior to our arrival & the dose was easy to use. We had a great trip.

Old House Charm

If you like older homes, its a great place to stay. Got some great rest on the comfortable beds. It was a typical Erie winter weekend, so lots of time to hang on the sofa, binge watch, and keep warm. I'll keep this house in my list of favorites.

We enjoyed our time here. There were a few things missing that would have been nice to have like silverware for 4 and a few other cooking needs. The kitchen was awesome though and the beds and couch were very comfortable. It's also close to everything in Erie. We went to the beach, the mall, Waldameer and a Seawolves game. All were within a 10 minute drive. Definitely recommend if visiting Erie.

First Visit in Erie

Owner was quick, responsive, and friendly with correspondence and questions prior to and during our stay. She gave us good recommendations for restaurants as we were new to the area. The inside of the rental was tidy and modern, nicely decorated with basic provisions provided. We were comfortable.The location is in an older neighborhood that could benefit from continued investment/revitalization.

Nice stay

The house was easy to find, an impressive white Italian style large house. There was lots of parking options, don’t park on the street, a neighbor told us. The interior downstairs was updated with a newer kitchen and living area. It was nice having a place to come back to after visiting Erie sights. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. Overall a good stay. A few suggestions; the couch could be firmer as we sat and sank and the television was hard to figure out so we used our computers.

Lovely home

This property is convenient to so many things in Erie, PA. The property is just cool, an old fashioned feel with modern conveniences. I loved the style. The shower was excellent and easy to use, the gas stove was a dream to cook on, and there was plenty of space for my friend and I. Comfortable and nice! So glad we chose this property.
