Great dog friendly place to stay in Erie! We were there to visit family for Thanksgiving and needed a dog friendly place to stay. This place doesnt just allow dogs - they are welcomed whole heartedly! The hosts provide dog beds, bowls, and have a lovely fenced in back yard. Will absolulty look into staying here again - especially if we come in the summer since it is close the the lakefront and the waterpark.

Overall as advertised. Great location. Air&heat worked well. Bed comfortable. Kitchen stuff worked.Needed instructions for washer/dryer, toaster oven filthy and should be replaced. TV difficult to use and find our shows, since we are not a Prime member.Should have been cleaner and was not ready two hours after our check-in time. We had to leave and come back…clearly a screw up. When we did come back to move in there was laundry still in the dryer.

We were very pleased with the dog friendly house, especially the Dog Wall of Pictures. They thought of everything to make us and our two Whippets welcome. Dog bowls and towels to wipe paws if necessary. Everything was provided to make our week so relaxing and enjoyable. We plan on coming back because the location was so convenient to stores and attractions. Even the LucyDesi Museum.

Fishing tributaries of lake erie

Chris, I have been staying there for 3 years straight and this year 4 of us rented the unit. However 2 of the group at the last minute could not come. Then I get an email that another $100 is due for excess cleaning to be paid!! We left the place almost as we found it. Towels were washed( (2) and I forgot to strip the bedding. Where does this so called $100 cleaning bill come from? I always pay in full to avoid this type of situations. Both of us are 66 uears old and we had 1 6 pack of beer between us for the 3 days there. We ate, watched tv and hit the rack. We cleaned every pan we used and cleaned bathroom and kitchen etc. I truly hope this was an error and can be rectified as we try to be good clients. I had a great talk with the next door man who looks after your place and he said . Thank you.he would take care of garbage and recycling as I gave him firewood due to no burning. I look forward to next year, but leaving the place in shambles is not my style

Perfect set up

Close to everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room for everyone. Neat little binder explaining the house and the surrounding area. Suggestions for places to eat that highlighted place where your dog was allowed to tag along. House well stocked for a short stay for both humans and pups.

Family vacation

We checked in a little after 3pm, thr house was clean, plenty of towels for our family in the bathroom, therr was even shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided in the shower. There is a nice fire pit area in the back yard, there wasnt any wood available to burn but we found a few places you can purchase bundles of wood. There was coffee available and plenty of room for our group.of 7 people!! The kids loved the bunk room! We didnt bring our dogs but there was a large jar of tennis balls and dog chews and 2 dog beds for your furry friends. I liked there were extra blankets in the bunk room closet. We enjoyed ourselves.

Nice Stay Highly recommend

This was a nice find! We had a great stay and loved the attention to details. We were in town to visit family & family reunions. The location was one of the reasons we chose to stay here, and it did not disappoint. We could get to all the places we needed within 5-15 minutes. We will definitely be back in the future when we need a place to stay when visiting. Thank you so much!!
