family weekend
We were in the area to attend our son's senior recital at SUNY Fredonia. The house was perfect for our family. It was so comfortable and had everything we needed. Nice selection of games and my son and his friend loved the tandem bike! The view was amazing, I can only imagine how nice it would be in warmer weather.

Lovely House on Lake Erie
We absolutely loved staying at this property. It has a beautiful view out over Lake Erie in a quiet little neighborhood. You wake up in the morning to the gulls calling and the waves crashing on the beach. Lauren was an excellent host. The house was well stocked with everything you could wish for.

Special Family Weekend
This was our second year to spend a family weekend together at Lauren’s Van Buren Point lake house. The home is quaint, comfortable, and very well-furnished, and with six bedrooms and two baths, there is plenty of room for the ten of us. Having Lake Erie right across the road from us was again wonderful, and the kids really enjoyed riding the bicycles. A very sweet weekend! Thanks, Lauren!

White Thanksgiving at Lake Erie
Nicely decorated with enough space for our family of 8. The outdoor fire ring, gas fireplace and record player were a hit again. Unfortunately due to the snow we couldn’t use the tandem bikes. We enjoyed the upgrades from last year (2nd floor ceiling, light fixtures & new refrigerator).

Family Weekend Getaway
We love this cute cottage and this our second stay there. Everything is so cute and cozy. We had no problem sleeping 11 people and brought our families 2 pups along as it is dog friendly. There are so many lovely touches that make this place extra special from the awesome bikes available to ride through the area and the beautiful dishes and thinks like lots of coffee, dog treats and s'mores fixings that just put it over the top. I would 100% recommend.

Back in time to the '70's
My parents took our family of 6 plus the dog on a summer vacation to VBP , last 2 weeks of August , staying in 5 different cottages over a 7 year period, in the late 1960's thru the mid-1970's. This 5 day visit was my attempt to give my 5 kids (now 20-37) memories like I still have. It worked , this home was the perfect spot to stay and have an excellent vacation experience. Owners VERY resposive and accessible , they seemed to anticipate our every need during our stay. We would go back next year in a heartbeat !

This was our group's second visit to the cottage. Lauren has thought of everything to make the cottage feel comfortable including countless amenities to make our stay even more enjoyable. If you need something, chances are excellent that she's already thought of it! Such a warm and welcoming host & home! We had a fantastic time and the weather was spectacular for the holiday weekend. We hope to return someday soon!
