True Lake Beachfront, Stunning Sunsets, Beach glass hunting

Come visit us at Steelhead Run offering panoramic views of the sunsets on Lake Erie. You will find this two-bedroom cottage to be quite comfortable offering all the utility of a larger home. We have another cottage next door, see VRBO #336835. When you arrive, you will find yourself nestled between Lake Erie and Chautauqua Creek on 7 forested acres. Both features can be accessed in less than a 200-foot walk from the cottage. On the beach you can spend time hunting for beach glass and driftwood, or take the half-mile walk along the beach to Barcelona Harbor area to enjoy a bit to eat, a cocktail, or even purchase a smoked fish at the fish market. Barcelona Harbor also offers a marina and a public launching facility to access Lake Erie. Do you want to go fishing? Take a charter out of the harbor or try and hit the world-renowned Steelhead fishery found in Chautauqua Creek. Don’t worry if Lake Erie is a little too rough on that day for boating. Make a trip to any one of the four inland lakes a short drive from the cottage. Chautauqua Lake is the largest and closest (5mi.) inland lake to the cottage. Chautauqua Lake offers many attractions available by boat that includes, The Chautauqua Institution, Midway Amusement Park, Long Point State Park, shopping, and numerous restaurant/bar establishments. There is truly something for everyone here.
Consider a wine tour if you’re looking to venture away from the lake for a bit. Lake Erie Wine Country, located in the largest grape-growing region east of the Rockies, extends roughly 45 miles from Silver Creek, New York to North East, Pennsylvania. At the end of 2011, it has become home to over 26 commercial and estate wineries. Other attractions within arm's reach include Niagara Falls, restaurants, ski resorts, snowmobile trails, nature trails, golf courses, inland lakes, shopping, and a casino, most in less than a 30-mile radius. Additionally, one can find cultural stimulation at Chautauqua Institution. Here you can enjoy their symphony, concerts, speaking venues and theater performances.

As a courtesy to the neighboring cottage, please respect the maximum number of guests in our cottages. We do understand that our guests want to share the experience of Steelhead Run with friends and family. Visitors are certainly welcome, but please limit their numbers to ensure that there is minimal disturbance to the neighbors.

If you are anticipating large group size, please consider reserving both cottages. We have successfully accommodated events such as small family gatherings, church retreats, and even professional photo shoots. Wedding venues are not allowed.

We are located ½ mile from the New York State Thruway (I-90), Exit 60. From here, you will find that it’s a quick ride to and from the Buffalo or Erie International Airports.

Confluence of convenience
Lovely spot for fishing and local recreation. Near creek shoreline recently restored and stabilized with tree plantings which is ideal for trout fishing. House has everything you’d want for modern cabin. Come and you’ll want to return again.

This is the perfect location to decompress. Visited a few years ago at the neighboring cabin of this owner’s and had to come back. Drive thru the woods to the cabin and lake. The lake is a very short walk from the cabin with beach access. If it’s raining sit on the porch, watch the waves, and read a book. The cabin is well appointed and comfortable.

Perfect!
We love staying here. It's far enough away from home, but also close enough. It is easy to relax here, ride bikes, sit on the beach, read a book, paint rocks, look for sea glass, go to the wineries....the possibilities are endless. I love that everything is provided and I love, love, love having the washer and dryer!

Shhhhhh…..
It’s clear this place isn’t a secret, but I almost wish it was!! Exceptionally clean. Gorgeous setting. Quaint and quiet area. Stocked kitchen. Sweet dreams beds. It was cozy and comfortable and honestly, I could go on and on. Mother Nature didn’t shine on us with great weather (it was March after all) but we enjoyed relaxing cabin time after brisk walks on the beach. It was close enough to bop over to Niagara for the day without adding too much drive time. I can only imagine how fabulous this place is during the summer. We would definitely stay again!

Great cabin on the shore of Lake Erie
This was our third trip to the cottages at Steelhead Run. We love the location and the delightful cabins. Very well appointed for those who like to cook, comfy beds , perfectly clean and steps from the shore. We even found useful a full tool kit ! Thanks Dave - you’ve thought of everything! This year Erie treated us to a wild and windy show with big rollers crashing just off shore / a blustery March performance.
