Great for our family (husband, wife, 4-year-old and 1.5-year-old). We brought an inflatable bed for our 1.5yo, she stayed in the master with us. If our children were 1 or 2 years older, they could have stayed in the bunk bed room together. The sunsets and the night stars over the lake can't be beat--thanks Cindy!

A very nice little house and a great view of the lake. Thanks Cindy.

What a wonderful cottage with a spectacular view! So peaceful and quiet!!! This house has all of the essentials...you will feel right at home. I would definitely recommend and stay here again in the future!

The cottage was nice and the views were perfect. Cindy was very responsive and helpful. We hope to visit again.

Cindy was great! She was very helpful and offered up some great suggestions. The house was clean and comfortable. The view could not be beat! Pretty much everything you need for a stay was there. Very private feeling as well. Highly recommend!

A very beautiful cottage . Thanks for all

Listing accurate. Very clean and comfortable with a great view and nice breeze. Checkin and out was super easy and Cindy responded quickly to all questions. Very close to many wineries. Nice quiet neighborhood. Hope to return!

The listing and description was exactly as described. This is quaint little cottage right on the lake in a very quiet neighborhood. Best part about it was how close it was to all the local wineries!

My 2 daughter's and husband and I had a wonderful stay at Lisa and Jan's lake house. It is even prettier than the pictures. Jan was so welcoming and showed us around and where everything was complete with hand written maps/directions. The home was beautiful, clean, well kept and equipped with everything that you could imagine. The view was spectacular, and the beach is a short walk down the stairs, the girls swam and we floated in tubes all afternoon. We've visited the North East a few times and this was by far the best place that we've stayed. We really can't wait to come back and hopefully stay longer - one of the most relaxing trips that we've had in this area. I can't say enough good things about this house and the hosts - this place is a real find!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The detailed description is very accurate. The house was exceptionally clean. Lisa and Jan did everything they said they would do. Above and beyond they met us at the main road upon our arrival in the pouring rain. They left us a bowl of local cherries and their delicious maple syrup. Lucky for us the weather cleared up quickly. We were able to enjoy the lake views and cool breezes. The outside shower was delightful.

Jan and Lisa were amazing hosts! Jan gave a very thorough tour of their cottage, leaving no detail hidden, and offered great recommendations to discover the area... Their hospitality and home away from home comfort while staying at their cottage, makes it perfect for any occasion. I highly recommend Jan and Lisa and their cottage, and my wife, friends, and I look forward to returning soon!

Such a wonderful Thanksgiving stay at Lisa and Jan's lake house. The home is even lovelier than in the pictures - it was very spacious, awesome views, and had plenty of kitchen space for cooking a big meal. We loved walking on the beach and visiting local wineries. Lisa was super helpful in communication before our trip and Jan gave a great tour and orientation when we arrived. Overall, highly recommended!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Jan and Lisa's cottage. Our hosts were very accommodating. Jan kindly met us at the end of the road to take us down to the house and gave us a quick tour (she even shared some kids toys for my nephew to play with). Our favorite features of the house were the large deck and enclosed sun porch. Having a gas grill at the house was great and we were able to enjoy dinner on the deck and watch the sun setting over the lake. The cottage was privately located and very clean, with plenty of towels and beach towels. The beds were all comfortable but could use an extra few pillows and curtains or mini blinds on all bedroom windows. Another plus was being able to sit around the fire pit in the evening, there is ample seating and our hosts generously provided us with the firewood. We did some swimming in the lake and went for a nice walk along the private shoreline (water shoes were helpful as it is a bit rocky)..the stairs are less scary than they appear. The cottage is also close enough for a day trip to Presque Isle and minutes away from Penn Shore winery (we checked out a band there one evening). Great place, great hosts. Thanks again!

Lisa and Jan were absolutely wonderful hosts, their attention to detail and care of their guests was truly amazing to behold. The property is beautiful and the location is perfect for enjoying the Erie, PA area. I highly recommend this property and these renters to anybody looking for a great experience.

The place was awesome:) Can't wait to stay again!

The cottage is fantastic! The grounds are beautiful! The pictures do not do it justice. What a wonderful weekend getaway! The best way to truly get away from it all and relax! Jan was wonderful, very inviting, and truly a very gracious host. When we met with her at the top of the drive we immediately felt welcome. She gave a thorough tour of the property with plenty of interesting facts and tid bits. By the time our tour was over my wife and I felt like we were family. We couldn't ask for a better experience. We are already making plans to stay again!!!

Linda made us feel right at home. The house is cozy and warm. We loved riding our bikes around and to the beach and coffee house in town. Just loved our stay at Flash's!

Our host was very open to communication and answered all of my questions. I had never rented a cottage online, and was a little nervous, but everything was great! The cottage was very clean and met all of our needs. I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of the listing, it's exactly as they stated. They made sure we had everything we needed and I hope to stay again some time! We LOVED being there! :) It was very easy and secure to book the listing and I will using Airbnb again! I've already recommended it to my friends.

The cottage was great. It was very clean and very well stocked. I highly recommend staying here!

This place was out of the world! It's an old mansion that Michael and Jim are painstakingly bringing to life with a dedication that is inspiring. Their generosity from the home made pies and bread to letting our kids do crafts with their collection of beach glass overwhelmed us and we left wanting to come back. It was one of a kind experience to tour the old mansion, hear stories that made things come alive and explore different nooks and crannies. Definitely for the adventourous at heart :)

If heading toward Erie or PeeknPeak this is the place to stay! As experienced airbnb travelers, this ranks as one of our best stays!! The hosts are so friendly and they open their mansion up to tour through. Its very interesting and clean. We stayed one night and will definitely stay again if we come back through. Jim makes a delicious 5 star breakfast with homemade bread, quiche, juice, coffee/tea, or cereal. It's a great value! Michael built us a fire in the front sitting room and stayed up to visit with us. We just can't say enough about their wonderful hospitality!

Was an extraordinary, excellent stay. The kindness we experienced was wonderful to my family and I. I would highly recommend it. It was a wonderful experience for us. Thank you for all the kindness.

The Hamilton Mansion is an absolute treasure in the area! They were still renovating during our stay which meant some minor aesthetic issues. But, the mansion is very grand, unique and charming-they did our best to make our 5 night stay very cozy. We really felt like old friends by the end of the week. The location is in an old New York town that is just beginning to come back to life; Michael is playing a key role in restoring the area. Beautiful Lake Erie is just a stone's throw away as well as quaint antique shops, charming restaurants, craft breweries and local wineries. It was a terrific stay!

If you want an interesting place with comfortable beds and homey environment you should stay here. Even though currently under restoration, the environment is welcoming, HUGE with endless places to explore.

We made a last minute booking to have a dinner event at this location and the hosts were nothing short of extremely accommodating. Everyone loved the space; the history behind the home and the many quirks that it came with. Thank you again for a lovely evening!

Best one night trip ever, we have stayed a lot of places. Michael was so good to our dog, such a great host. He went out of his way to make us comfortable. Will stay again!

What wonderful hosts!! Their home is full of history and decorated so well! Meals are first class too!

We enjoyed staying in this condo that was set on 62 acres and a pond. It was nice to be off the beaten path and not in a condo crammed in between other condos. We hiked some of the property one morning and loved having the opportunity to do so. I think it would be even better during the summer months. The hosts were very responsive to answering our questions and we loved using the gas stove during the winter snow storm we had while we were there :)

You will love if if you want quiet and relaxation.

We booked this place for a trip to Peek n peak. It was an absolutely wonderful stay! The location was beautiful, the house was cozy and a perfect spot for our stay. We were only 10 minutes from the resort and even in heavy snow the drive was convenient. The host was responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which made things so seamless! I would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful country home, friendly hosts, and good books to read. We were very close to Peek n' Peak for skiing, went to Chautauqua Gorge to hike, and to Vinny's Pizza. My boys kept me busy most of the time, so I did not get to relax by the pond like I hope to do at a future visit. Thank you Murl for hosting us for President's Day Weekend.

Wendy had everything available that we needed. Will be looking to stay there again next year.

Nice quaint and and as described.

Wendy is very responsive to guests, house is clean and close to wineries.

Wendy was easy to reach and her house was cozy, clean, well-located and it covered the basics for a two-day stay, though there was no kettle. We had a little issue with the hot water but she helped us sort it out for the most part. Would recommend if traveling on a budget.

Amazing place amazing people would definitely recommend to anyone

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Wendy left VERY detailed instructions, not only in an advance email, but also had sheets in almost every room in the house. The house was very convenient to the thruway and it worked out well.

The house was very cozy. It was very reminiscent of days gone by. My family and I enjoyed our stay. We really appreciated the rural setting. In a life that is busy, and full of chaos, it was such a great oasis!

We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend at James' lovely home! Our family enjoyed the canoe and kayaks as well as the use of the private dock (for our fishing boat)! The location is perfect, as it is within walking distance to the quaint little town. The Harvest Festival was in full swing during our stay which was an added bonus. This was our first trip to Findley Lake and we will definitely return. Thank you, James.

What a great weekend at the lake! The house was extremely spacious even with 5 couples with kids. James was very helpful, gracious, and flexible with our check in. The location is great. Just a minutes drive or nice walk to the shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend this home. What a great value!

James was very responsive and helpful, and the house was fantastic - great location, very welcoming, very much enjoyed our stay

Wonderful home for families to come and have a get away!

We had two families, 6 kids total that stayed at the house for a long weekend of skiing at Peek 'n Peak. The house was perfect for the 10 of us. Very spacious, clean and very close to the ski resort. Post office, small market, ski rentals and pizza shop were all within 5 min of the house. James was a great host, following up with us quickly on any questions we had. We highly recommend this place for any large group staying in the area.

We really enjoyed our few days at Findley Lake and at James' house. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of room for our family. We enjoyed spending time on the decks enjoying the beautiful weather. Findley Lake was so quiet and pleasant and is a great destination for someone looking to spend some quality family time. James was very responsive and was great to work with.

Very nice cottage right on the lake. Spacious and clean with all the necessary stuff to enjoy the lake, including canoe and kayaks. James was very helpful and easy to reach.

Thanks for a wonderful stay! We enjoyed the inn and the town.

I had a fantastic experience staying at the Blue Heron. Bruce was extremely warm and welcoming and answered any questions I had about the surrounding area and the various wineries that I could visit. He made me feel like I was at home with his relaxed nature. The particular room I stayed in, the Rod & Creel, had a quaint view of Findley Lake and felt very comfortable in general. The whole area was a perfect place for me to decompress and spend a few quiet days by myself exploring the Western NY/Eastern PA area. I would highly recommend the Blue Heron to anyone that is looking to visit the wineries, explore Lake Erie, or just needs some time away in a small town setting. I also would highly recommend Bruce's Cinnamon French Toast for breakfast. Delicious!

I reached out to Patty early - I wanted to use her home as a getaway weekend to propose to my girlfriend. Patty responded in less than an hour, talked with me over email about every possible detail, connected me with her brother (our chef), and ensure that every detail was accounted for. When I arrived, she and Chef Tony were at the house. I immediately gave them both a hug, they were so warm and welcoming. The house was truly spotless, BEAUTIFUL, well kept, and even more perfect than the pictures and description. We were given a quick tour and left to enjoy their home. The house is truly a gem, a 30 second walk to the water (Patty even left water shoes and towels for us!), 3/4 mile along the beach to a waterfall, and across the street from a lovely winery ($4 for a tasting of 12 wines!) The dinner was a 5 course french meal that was absolutely beyond words - exquisite. Each course was paired perfectly with a wine hand picked by Chef Tony. I have never experienced such a service. Everything was truly delectable - the pictures do not do his craft justice. During dinner, Chef Tony and Patty told us stories and talked us through each course which was so enjoyable to hear from them. During dinner, they lit a bon fire out back for our enjoyment before dessert. (proposal time!) After, we came in to celebrate with the most divine chocolate moose cheesecake and champagne toast. The entire kitchen was clean before we were even finished eating. The following morning they were back to cook us eggs Benedict with mimosas (Chef Tony smoked the salmon and turkey bacon himself). Patty allowed us to stay late in the morning, enjoy the breeze and water's edge before heading out. Without question, I would return to their house as a getaway weekend at any opportunity whether to experience the French meal or just to stay in their home - it is the most prefect place. You will forget all your worries and cares and slip into a place of true relaxation, comfort, and bliss! We are all still talking about how perfect this past weekend way, and truly we have Patty and Chef Tony to thanks.

Beautiful home right on the lake. We used it for a ski weekend at Peek n Peak. It was clean and spacious enough for 6 of us. Patty and Tony were very communicative and let us know everything we needed to know regarding staying here. We didn't do the full dinner and breakfast but had no trouble making our own with the kitchen items provided. We had a good time with friends and are glad for the nice place to do that in! Thank you Tony and Patty!

We stayer in mid-Aug for a long wknd with two other couples. We are late 30s, mature adults, with a two year old. The other 2 couples are long time frnds in a similar kid scenario. The house is bigger than the photos would allow you to assume. The yard is fantastic. Great for kids. Ample parking. Everything was clean and well maintained. The beach was rocky but nice. Beach access was easy. The house does not advertise central AC. The wall units did very little to keep up with the Aug heat. I would assume the ideal time to stay would be fall or spring. The bathrooms were unbearably hot. Easily 100 degrees at 10 PM. The bathroom scenario would have been a game breaker had we known in advance, but we selected to stay in Aug, so that is on us. We opted for the wine/ food paring dinner. The food was fresh and they put 110% into it. Highly recommend it! It was worth every penny. Only negative was that he increased the price twice on us after we had already agreed to it. The refrigerator stopped working within the first 12 hours of our arrival. Tony responded quickly to work on it. Also, found out upon arrival that the washer/ dryer were only for emergencies. The wifi was weak and somewhat limited at times. He asked for a deposit twice even after I explained that is not how AirBB works and he has my credit card. Perhaps he is just new to the website, or new to renting the place. Overall, the owners were nice, and responsive. You can tell that Tony has a personal connection to the place and takes pride in it, which left us with a few more awkward interactions than I would have preferred between the deposit, the AC, and the refrigerator. Overall we had a nice long wknd. I would recommend the place to the correct renters during the correct time of year.

I honestly do not have enough positive things to say about this absolute gem of a place. If you're reading this, do yourself a favour and book this place. It is unlike any other airbnb and will exceed any expectation you have. Stunning home filled with tons of secrets, gorgeous rooms, the friendliest hosts around, and, as icing on the cake, a fantastic homemade breakfast to start your day. Unbelievable value for an unforgettable stay.

Art and Wendy's "Homestead House" allowed our family from North, South, East and West, to gather for a holiday celebration. This lovely little farm house was much more darling, homey, and comfortable than the pictures can present. Our visit was late December, and I was worried about access, but Art had the driveway plowed, and he returned to plow again and provided salt. He kept us warm by visiting the house a couple of times/daily, and adding wood to the outdoor wood furnace. He was never intrusive - we'd have not known he was there, if we didn't notice his truck! We were nice and cozy warm, all weekend, and had no need for all the blankets I'd brought along, or the little radiator heater. Everything you need really is right there! We rent through Airbnb or (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) at least once/year, and this was the most comfortable accommodation we've ever had - in the middle of winter, even! Wendy was always very quick and friendly in responses to my questions before the visit, and checked in during the stay as well. We didn't have a care in the world, but if we had, I'm confident that she'd have solved the problem. The kitchen was good sized, and very well equipped, to handle a larger family gathering. There were plenty of good quality dishes, pans, cutlery, utensils. At no time did I have to "make do." Everything was present, clean, and functional. There is a nice sized dining table with 7 or 8 chairs. Attached is a utility room, that we made use of as coat storage and for dry goods storage. There is also a washer and dryer in the utility room. There are two living areas - a living room and a game room. The furniture in both was very comfortable, and there were soft throws on the backs of the sofa and chairs, to cuddle up in while visiting or watching tv. The wifi signal was strong and fast, and we were able to watch Christmas movies on Netflix, via Roku. Wendy had decorated the home for Christmas, and it was lovely, with a beautiful full sized Christmas tree, even. The views over the vineyards and to Lake Erie were fabulous. All three bedrooms were comfortable, with lots of little tables, and storage shelves for your luggage. The beds were comfortable, and the beds were made up with layers of fluffy fleece blankets, and quilts. There were extra linens and covers, should you need them, but we never did. Oh, and lots of pillows! So often, we find two measley little flat pillows on a bed, and need to scrounge from other bedrooms, to get comfortable, but not here. All the beds had plenty of great pillows. The bathroom is small, and the shower is in a claw-footed bath tub. As was the rest of the house, it was very clean. There was good water pressure, though we did take short showers to conserve water. There were plenty...

Thank you to the Strines for hosting us in their charming guest house. The snowy views of the vineyard were very peaceful.

Wendy was a very caring and informative host. Her home is located in a beautiful, quiet area and has plenty of space. If I have the chance to return to the region for a longer stay I would love to do so.

Wendy and Art are very friendly folks and were very available through the booking process and the stay. Their home was comfortable for the 5 we had and could easily accommodate more. The location of the home was excellent as well being very near the interstate but just far enough away to be able to enjoy being surrounded by the open space of the nearby farms. I would absolutely stay at Art and Wendy's again!

Beautiful home, gorgeous area, sweet hosts!

3 bedroom quaint farm house was clean and perfect for our family! Comfortable beds and host responded quickly. Thanks! Peaceful and quiet.

The house was immaculately clean. The property is beautiful. It has more space and comfort than the pictures portray. Wendy and Art are wonderful people. I recommend it highly.

Bucolic serenity. Hosts thought of everything. Wish we could stay longer...

The home was exactly as described in the listing - we thoroughly enjoyed use of the rowboat, grill, fire-pit and board games in the house. The house does not have wifi connectivity, but I couldn't think of a nicer place to be disconnected and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. The kitchen is well-equipped and we cooked everyday. Murl was extremely responsive both before and during our stay. We had a thoroughly rejuvenating vacation largely in part due to this serene home-stay.

Visited with my wife and 4 year old daughter, we absolutely loved the place. Very warm and cozy, all the modern conveniences, beautiful wilderness right at our doorstep, snow everywhere, just the winter wonderland we were looking for. Peek n Peak ski resort was less than 10 minutes away. Just wonderful

Had a wonderful time at this getaway! Perfect location for attending the North East, PA wine festival. Murl provided everything we could need and more. Thanks!

We had an enjoyable time at the cabin. The outdoor lake was beautiful with lots of fish and big bass. The fire pit was large and wonderful. The cabin was cozy and enjoyable. We will return someday

This place was perfect for our ski weekend with friends! A 5-10 minute drive from the slopes. The place had everything we needed and was clean and ready for our arrival. The fireplace/stove was a nice surprise and there was plenty of firewood. The host was great and very responsive to any questions. Great weekend!

This location is all about unplugging and relaxing. The pond provided many hours of entertainment (and great fish photos) for my family. The check-in process was a breeze and the house had everything described. This house was a great value and a truly wonderful getaway!

Murl's place was wonderful. It is in a lovely rural location and the house is very comfortable. Being there on a snowy winter weekend we did not take advantage of the lake in the backyard, but enjoyed looking at it! The family enjoyed our weekend every much. We'd recommend Murl's place for any Peek n Peak visit.

This place is very cute, and has a wonderful woodsy charm. We unfortunately didn't get to meet the owners, but Tobi called me the day beforehand to answer my questions about the area, which was really nice. There's a very relaxed, small-town feel to the place, and we really enjoyed being able to grab ourselves some cokes (completely on the honor system, we just told them the next day) and hang out in the bar and porch area late Thursday night when we had the place basically to ourselves. I highly recommend kayaking on the lake, and checking out the quilt shop down the road! Would definitely come here again. Would probably get the lake view room next time.

Amazing hospitality! I stayed here for one night during a long road trip. I arrived super late but the hosts were great about it. The bed was utter heaven, and the breakfast the next morning really hit the spot. I wish I could have stayed longer, and I highly recommend staying here if you have the chance!

Super clean and quiet. Hosts were really sweet and friendly. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

The Blue Heron Inn staff were very friendly at check-in. The small town of Findley Lake is pleasant and the Inn is located in the center of town at the edge of the lake. The Lake View room is comfortable and clean.

Great stay and exactly what you'd expect. Thanks!
