Short weekend getaway
This was my second stay in the past 18 months. The property was very well taken care of and clean. My wife loved the abundance of towels, paper plates, and plastic utensils. The view of the lake was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great place with a few quirks
First--the view--wow! The property is on a bluff overlooking Lake Erie. There's a back deck and then a grassy area up to the drop off to a very small beach. You can see the lake easily from the living room, which has glass French doors on the whole back side. There is one bedroom, with a very comfortable bed, but not much room to spare and little shelf space. There's built-in bunk beds in the living room. One small but nice bathroom with almost no shelf space. The kitchen is fully stocked, including coffee, tea and condiments. The sink is awkward but there is also a dishwasher. There is a separate, small unit with a few beds. Tons of towels, blankets, sheets, games. The place was fully cleaned. Smaller than the pictures show, but a very cozy and wonderful getaway.

Wonderful Stay!
Our 4th time at this property and we love it! My family LOVES that there is a Christmas tree set up it adds so much to the coziness of this house. We enjoyed going down to the lake and also sitting on the back porch. We love all the electric blankets and the overall coziness of the house. It is clean and has everything you would need for a short weekend stay! I really love our time in this house we have so many memories here! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Adorable Retreat Along the Lake
Without repeating all the good details of other reviewers, I’ll add that although pets are allowed you would never know it by how clean and fresh the cabin is. While compact, the space is extremely well organized and laid out. We saw bald eagles, a peregrine falcon, nut hatches, blue jays, and orioles, all from the back porch. The rental is well stocked with many good quality towels, linens, laundry detergent, pots, pans, dishes, and many more household goods. We spent every morning sipping coffee on the back porch. Because of the many trees and shrubs you can’t see neighbors to your right and only a partial view of the neighbors to the left. It was a very peaceful stay. The owner is easy to communicate with and the coded lock was easy to operate. We visited several wineries in the area and took a nice hike with our dogs at Lake Erie State park which was up the road a few miles. I loved the fact that the place was so wild on the road side. You can barely see the house from the road. I highly recommend this vacation rental

long review lol
I stayed here with my family, 9 people and dogs, for four nights. When we pulled into the driveway the outside of the house appeared to be warn down, but we were pleasantly surprised by the inside. It is well decorated and has a cozy cabin vibe to it. The place is well stocked with supplies and the appliances are all new. They also had a jar filled with s'mores supplies when we arrived which was a nice welcoming treat. The view of lake eerie is unbeatable. The steps to the lake are in the neighbors, so you have to walk across their yard. During our stay, the neighbors were not very friendly. Some of us felt uneasy walking through their yard, but we did it anyways because being at the lake is a must for this trip. My family and I walked along the rocks for hours! But, one of the days I was out back with my dog when all of a sudden he ran off barking. I chased after him to find a man taking out the trash. The man did not introduce himself, but I could tell he was the owner. There was no notice of anyone coming to take out the trash during our stay. I felt uneasy about the whole thing because the house had lots of outdoor security including a ring so I feel like they had to know we were there. And my uncle was napping in the little outhouse on the top bunk when the man entered not just once, but twice. Said he was coming in to "close the door." Very uncomfortable situation, but otherwise a nice trip.

If you’re trying to decide where to stay, stop your quest and book this place. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable and we were very grateful to be able to bring our dog along. Took a day trip to Niagara Falls and fit in plenty of relaxation. The hosts were excellent communicators and we couldn’t have enjoyed the place more.

The house is immaculate and well appointed with nice appliances and plenty of thick towels, blankets, extra throws to wrap in. But the best was the view over Lake Erie. We sat around the fire pit above the shore and enjoyed a lovely sunset. The owners have made every effort to assure a comfortable stay.

We found this place at the last minute. Husband and I brought our dog and Sunset Hideaway is fabulous. Every amenity was so well thought out. Check in was easy with an entry code. Lauren’s team brought fire wood and gave us some recommendations for wineries in the area. Lauren recommended Tuscany market in Fredonia which was terrific. We loved everything about our stay.. Saw eagles soaring off the bluff, two beautiful sunsets, and enjoyed one morning of rain on the deck under the sheltering room. Beautiful cabin, ,sunsets, wineries, and a little bit of relaxing rain equals a perfect getaway!
