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.

Historic House in Erie

This was an updated very old historic half of a house in Erie. It was relatively clean but some spots were not and it had a couple leaks in the ceiling/walls. The location was close to Erie beaches, Waldameer Park and the Erie Zoo, which was nice.

Needs work

The house was sufficiently clean so we did stay. The high use surfaces were wiped clean and we didn’t see any cobwebs as the previous visitors did. The outside of the building and the landscaping needs much improvement. Right outside the back door the area stays wet leading to swarms of mosquitoes.

Convenient and well updated

The rental is one unit of a duplex in a historic home. The apartment has been nicely updated with new kitchen, central air, etc. The layout is perfect for families. It was easy to get into town and down to Millcreek for activities, and only 10 minutes from Presque Isle. The downsides are that the neighborhood isn't great, the building shows its age and could use some attention, and the outdoor space is overgrown and not really useable. Plus sides: The beds are comfortable. The master bedroom is a great size, with a separate sun room perfect for kids. The shower has terrific water pressure.

Phenomenal!

Let me start by saying this home is breath taking. It's comfortable for a family. I was able to keep my baby safe who just started walking. The beds are comfortable. They provide so many cozy blankets & pillows everywhere! The backyard is big & fun! We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Their kitchen is fully stocked as well. The beauty of this historic home is unmatched. It was a wonderful experience. My son loved it the upstairs is amazing .we will be back as we have family nearby & we recommend this house is to families & truly anyone can be happy here. It's truly a wonderful experience. Now the owners are very accommodating & always respond quickly they are understanding & just very personable. Thank you for a wonderful time.

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.
