Cottage vacation rentals in Erie

The quiet neighborhood with birds singing, waves lapping on the shore, and the breezes coming through the screened deck doors make sleeping in that oh so comfortable bed an overnight vacation. You will certainly get your rest! If you come from the North, make sure to stop in for a take out supper at Off-The-Hook Seafood place at the Dunkirk Pier before the last 5 miles to Wisteria Cottage.

Kelly's cottage was perfect for me and my boys to get away! The stream behind the house was lovely and just a short paddle to Chautauqua Lake. My kids loved the hot tub! The cottage was fully stocked with dishes to cook with and coffee and snacks (my boys loved the mini popcorn!), as well as, plenty of fresh linens and towels. We had such a great time and are looking forward to making this a yearly tradition already!

Overall, Amanda’s place was adorable and a great getaway for a long weekend! Amanda is very responsive and kind. We had a few hiccups with the house (technical things) and she was very responsive and willing to help as much as she could despite not being in the area. It is a tight space for more than 6 people. There were 7 total in our group so keep in mind it only having one shower and some close sleeping quarters. The beds were very comfy and clean though. It was still cool with the AC window units on too (if staying in the summer). All in all would stay again!

The home is so beautiful, I took pictures because I really want to build a home and it’s what I’m going to base it off of!!! Kathlene was so helpful. Anything we needed she was right on it.!! we will plan on coming again in the future! You will not be disappointed in this location or the home itself!!

this place was an amazing stay for me and my girlfriends trip! we were obsessed with the house and the views. tony answered all our questions promptly and sent someone to look at the hot tub while we were there. we definitely hope to be back in the future!

This is an adorable place directly next to a quiet, beautiful beach. They have some amenities for young children such as plastic plates and cups and a high chair, which is nice to not have to pack. The hosts were helpful and responsive.

Aaron was very responsive and everything was as he described.

Sally’s place was beautiful and spacious. It worked well for our family’s mini-vacation. The location can’t be better. I being able to walk right to the shore. This is the second time I’ve rented one of Sally’s properties, and both times Sally was just great to work with. Can’t wait to go back!

The host was very responsive. We accidently locked ourselves out and he was quick to come help us out. The place was peaceful and we had a nice time.

Thank you Michelle for having us as a guest. The space worked perfectly for our family and event we attended in Edinboro.

WOW! That’s what we said when we opened the front door. The view of the lake was awesome and Barbara’s house was perfect for the 4 of us celebrating our 70th birthdays. We have stayed in many Airbnb’s before but this house had every amenity you could ask for. It is tastefully decorated and well stocked including paper products, shampoos, spices, etc. The beds were very comfortable and the view of the morning sunrise from the master bedroom was absolutely breathtaking! We visited the National Comedy Museum in Jamestown and walked the beautiful grounds of the Chautauqua Institute ! Barbara was the perfect hostess and even offered to mail the clothes we left in the dryer back to us. As one ages, we tend to remember the “moments” and forget the “things”🥴. Thank you, Barbara, for transforming your shack into a spectacular cottage and sharing it with us.

Rikki is the best host compared to all the other hosts we’ve had! She has absolutely everything u could possibly need! I was very happy to see a blow dryer which I forgot at home!!!! Our dog had a blast playing ball in a large area! Can’t wait to come back! Ty Rikki for everything!

Loved our stay here. Very close to lakeside and walking distance to the bagel shop, etc. Place was absolutely spotless & smelled so clean upon arrival. Tons of space, kitchen is fully stocked, and lots of room for your family! We loved staying here. Penelope is very responsive & kind!

A great place to stay! We enjoyed the space and found that we were never overcrowded with 9 people and a dog. The cottage was even more beautiful than the pictures show and the A/C was a great amenity! The host was amazing, welcoming and accommodating! It was so close to the little town with shops and restaurants! We will for sure be back! Totally worth the price!

This place had everything we were looking for in a cabin! The cabin was super cozy and had everything you would need for your stay. The area is beautiful and the neighbors friendly. The river access was perfect to fish, swim, and kayak.

Such a cute little cottage in a peacefully little neighborhood. Can see the lake from the house and short walk to playground and waterfront. Loved it! Would definitely stay again!

Home was clean and cozy and the fire pit was a great spot to relax at the end of the day :)

The cottage was beautiful and perfect for our needs. The view of the lake was wonderful and it was so peaceful. Everything was clean and neat and we felt right at home. I highly recommend Judy's place for a lake experience or just a little get away.

We really enjoyed our 3-day stay at Bryce’s charming cabin. The cabin itself is cozy, clean, well designed and full of character. Although a small space, it felt open and comfortable. Bryce was a very responsive and accommodating host, answering all our questions quickly and kindly. The beds were comfortable, the water hot and the cabin was adequately equipped for cooking. We loved the view of the creek from the dining area and sitting by the water and making a fire in the evening. It was perfect for my elderly mom too—no stairs, easy shower access, and peaceful surroundings with birdsong during the day and quiet at night. One note for those with similar needs: the dining table is counter height, my mom either stood at the table or used the sofa chair to eat. This wasn't a problem for us at all, but might be helpful information for others. She loved the space and didn’t want to leave. We couldn't have had a better experience and we’d gladly return!

We cannot say enough about how perfect this rental was. Gorgeous home with many amenities and right on the lake. Lots of lakefront views with three different patios and porches. Beautiful outdoor furniture. Three different sitting areas and two with lakefront views. The third sitting area is an entertainment area. The loft is amazing with four beds and a half bath. We were on the property to celebrate a family reunion and my birthday so we didn’t go to any restaurants. But the local bar was fun! Kayaks and bikes are available. Fabulous place!

We had an amazing stay for the weekend. This was the most accommodating Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. Everything we needed was available. Rebecca personalized our stay for a soccer weekend and it was so thoughtful. It was a short walk to the lake and the private lake front was so peaceful. The cottage had a lot of space and was very clean. The amenities available at the cottage were great. We wish our stay could have been longer. If we are ever back in the area we would 100% choose to stay at the Little Shovel again. Thank you for a great weekend!

Place was perfect for a long weekend getaway. We took a fishing trip with a small group of guys. Transient slips are available at Barcelona harbor and is a 2 minute walk from the house to the marina. House had all the amenities we needed.

This place was perfect, very beautiful and peaceful for our quick getaway. House was clean and had everything we needed. We had a great time. Definitely would stay again!

Alyssa and Brian were great! They were very responsive! The place was just like the pictures and everything was clear!! They had everything you needed to cook! They had toiletries in bathroom! I brought my own but it was all there! Thank you! I hate to recommend bc I want it available for when we want to go again! lol! All seriousness definitely would recommend!!!
