Crystal Beach Executive Waterfront Lakehouse

SabrinaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My recent stay at the lake house was nothing short of magical. Nestled among towering pines, the location offered breathtaking views of the shimmering water, perfect for morning coffee on the deck. The house was charmingly decorated, with cozy furnishings that made it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing for delightful family meals, and the outdoor fire pit was ideal for evening gatherings under the stars. I particularly enjoyed the tranquility of the surroundings, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Overall, it was a refreshing retreat, and I can't wait to return!

Oakwood Beach | Lakefront • Epic Views • Fire Pit

RobynRating, 5 stars1 week ago
LOVED this house! Someone with a degree in interior design must’ve been involved in the decorating bc it looked like something out of a magazine. And the view was absolutely stunning. Also, as a mom with small children, I loved how we were right on the water but high enough up from it that I didn’t have to worry about my kids walking into it while playing outside. I also loved the location of this house. We were right in between Ashtabula and Geneva on the Lake so it was a little more peaceful than being right in the middle of GOTL. My family preferred Ashtabula anyways as it had more of that quaint old town charm. The house also had great storage which may sound funny, but I love to unpack and really settle into the home. It seems like so many places don’t provide that anymore. Anyways, I would totally stay here again!

Amazing views, comfy beds, nice space! We saw blue herons every day! Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great so we couldn’t take advantage of the lake for anything other than looking at it from inside, but the location on the lake was amazing.

4) Jan-Feb Discounts! Hot Tub/ Lakefront

LacyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
A peaceful getaway for our little family. It really does have everything for a relaxing stay. The view is amazing, the pool was nice and big very clean with tons of floats. The hot tub was great 😌. Cooked out on the grill when it was nice out and ordered pizza and did a puzzles when it rained, we couldn’t have gotten a more relaxing mini vacation. I will definitely tell friends and family about this location. Our dog 🐕 loved the fenced in yard and we very much enjoyed the fire pit! If we actually knew how to kayak we definitely would have used what they provided. Don’t hesitate with this hidden gem! You won’t regret it.

Lakeview Cottage - Private Lake & Beach access

LucianRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We had an amazing time at Franny's peaceful and serene cottage! The fall colors were stunning, and we loved the beach (a bit of a steep hike down, but worth it), where we even found fossils and semi-precious gemstones. Our dog had a blast playing with their dogs, which made the trip extra special. The cottage itself was rustic, spacious, and cozy, with good internet, though there was little to no cellphone signal. One of the nights, the host prepared for us a lovely campfire. The beautiful cliff views of Lake Erie were unforgettable and made us want to come back again. Highly recommend!

Forever Spring Cabin

TiffanyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I was in need of cabin in the woods. A quiet getaway in a remote location to relax and disconnect from my normal day to day. This was just that. Close to town so you can still do some sight seeing and activities, but when youre at the cabin you feel secluded. It was comfortable and clean. Supplied with everything you would need. Comfortable bed. Jucuzzi tub, and cozy atmosphere. Enjoyed sitting outside in on the rocking chair in the morning drinking coffee while listening to nature and sitting outside around the campfire at night. My family and i enjoyed our time.

North Shore Retreat

JoeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Stayed here for a holiday weekend with a family of four adults. The house location is fantastic! Beautiful sweeping views of Lake Erie from many rooms in the house, and nothing beat having coffee on the deck in the morning and a drink on the deck in the evening. Having the ravine next to us added to the privacy and wonderful animal watching (birds, fox, frogs). The home was charming, cozy, and had all the amenities we needed. We spent Sunday at the many walkable wineries. Can't recommend this place enough! We're looking forward to adding it to our getaway rotation!

ONE BEDROOM LAKEFRONT CABIN [ROW 1]

CallumRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My girlfriend and I stayed one night in Cabin #3 at Edinboro Lake Resort, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, everything was effortless—check-in couldn’t have been easier. The key was waiting for us inside the cabin, which made settling in seamless and stress-free after a long drive. The cabin itself was spotless and incredibly comfortable. You can tell it’s well cared for—clean linens, cozy furniture, and everything we needed was right there. It had a warm, inviting feel that made us instantly relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It was the ideal setting for a quiet getaway, and we only wish we had stayed longer. We’ll definitely be back—and next time, for more than just one night!

This was our second time staying here - we loved it so much last year we had to come back! The house is amazing - something for everyone - adults to relax and activities to entertain kids. Sunset views from the yard are breathtaking. If it’s a clear night, lay on a lounge chair on the bedroom deck, look up at the stars and put headphones on with your favorite music - pure bliss. Thank you for allowing so many to enjoy this home!

Blue Canoe/Upscale Lake Cottage/Chautauqua

RobertRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I was very impressed by how organized and well labeled utensils, supplies, etc. were. The home was nicely appointed in all rooms, as though an interior designer spent several months there! The great room was open and cozy, with lake views from all windows. The kayaking was outstanding. During my short stay, I saw herons, turtles, beavers, geese, goslings, ducks, among others. The fenced in porch/deck was nicely furnished, providing a relaxing spot for morning coffee and a safe place for my dog. All in all, it was a nice spot and a beautiful home.

This place really is peaceful and private. My partner and I booked this cabin for a weekend to just get away from the bustle of the city and we were not disappointed. This place had an amazing view overlooking Lake Erie on the bluffs and was tucked away deep in the trees beyond some farmlands south west of London. We definitely want to stay here again sometime. Thank you Robert!

Port Talbot Shore Stay

Always love staying here. It’s so beautiful, right on the shores of Lake Erie and at the mouth of the Talbot Creek. It’s so private, like your very own private world. Swimming, kayaking and canoeing, hiking, camp fires on the beach, or do nothing at all-and so much more. It’s South Ontario’s secret getaway.

Your guide to Lake Erie

All About Lake Erie

The smallest of the Great Lakes, Lake Erie's shores touch four states — Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York — as well as Canada. And its 700 miles of coastline provide plenty of opportunities for recreation on all sides, with activities such as kayaking, boating, swimming, and even surfing popular year-round.

The Presque Isle State Park in Pennsylvania has miles of beaches and thousands of acres worthy of exploring along with lighthouses and several species of endangered migratory fowl for birdwatching. At the same time, the Maritime Museum of Sandusky in Ohio details the lake's fascinating history, from maritime exploration to ice harvesting to the Sandusky leg of the Underground Railroad. Several major metropolitan areas are located directly on the shores of Lake Erie, providing numerous options for entertainment and exploration.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Erie

Due to the expansive area that Lake Erie covers, there will be local nuances and variations in seasonal weather patterns depending upon where you happen to be staying. But, in general, temperatures will vary drastically between the summer and winter months, along with levels of rain and snow. Summer tends to see warmer temperatures, high humidity, and minimal precipitation, creating conditions that can be excellent for swimming, boating, and other lake-bound activities. The winter season brings consistent below-freezing temperatures and the potential for significant snowfall. During this time, the lake has been known to freeze over. If looking to enjoy the water, or other outdoor activities, consider looking for cottage rentals during the summer or shoulder seasons.


Top things to do in Lake Erie

South Bass Island, Ohio

With stunning limestone cliffs, coves, and crystal geode-tinged caves, South Bass Island makes for an excellent day trip if you happen to be on the Ohio shores of Lake Erie. Located just off the coast of Gibraltar via a short ferry ride, the island is known for its boating and fishing along with some fantastic seafood restaurants and an historical museum.

Buffalo, New York

Buffalo is a moderately sized city on the easternmost edge of Lake Erie. Besides acting as a hub for many lakeside activities, it’s also a nice place to poke around for a few days. Wander the tidy downtown to get a taste of the iconic Art Deco-style architecture pioneered in the area, order a plate of buffalo wings (said to have been invented here), then check out the majestic Niagara Falls that borders the city.

Erie Bluffs State Park

This Pennsylvania state park covers roughly 600 acres with over a mile of shoreline and dramatic 90-foot bluffs that overlook the adjacent Lake Erie. The park is home to several ecologies unique to the area, like the black oak woodlands and fishery streams home to bald eagles, bank swallows, rainbow trout, fairy shrimp, and wood frogs. Swimming is prohibited in the park, but you are welcome to enjoy the rocky shores and trail systems located throughout.
