Great house in a convenient area
My wife and I enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and well taken care of. There were nice added touches with blankets, cozy socks, and snacks.
We visited numerous places throughout the area, and all were very convenient to the house. We plan to bring our kids with us next time over the summer.

Trip Home
Quick trip to Erie to see family. This property is well located to all local attractions- 10-15 minutes to Presque Isle and Waldameer. House has everything you need- kitchen is well stocked. Very clean. Owners very responsive to question about entering property. Lovely back deck and yard (weather didn't cooperate with us). I would stay here again.

It was a clean, cozy gem
The house is located near "everything." It was clean upon arrival and the backyard is big enough to enjoy (let the kids play). The beds are comfortable and the washer and dryer work well.

Great little house
It was a perfect little house. Just what we needed for the night. It was clean and owners were great with communication. Only downside is it it's on a somewhat busy street. Other than that, we had no issues.

Cute little house!
This worked well for our family of 6! We had enough space and kids enjoyed the games. I understand it was an old house but I was a little worried about all of the extension cords being a fire hazard.
Owners communicated well! Easy to access different areas of the city. Kitchen was great!

Definitely was a little gem!
Just got back from a 2 days stay with a small group of girls. The house was great for a little shopping…close to peach street shopping..and some relaxing with good friends. The house was clean, so many extra blankets and pillows. There was also everything that you needed like spices, TP, garbage bags, kleenex…a lot of little things ..and a lovely bowl of snacks waiting for us upon arrival…nice touch!. Thank you for hosting us and we will def book again.
