Spacious kitchen, three (3) bedrooms, bathroom with a shower/ tub. Large, combined dining area/living room.
Two (2) enclosed porches. Washer/dryer can be used . Off-street parking along in front of the already occupied three (3) car garage.

If your a traveling nurse, mins away from Erie hospitals, St. Vincent's, Hamot & LECOM CAMPUS. Also close to the Millcreek Mall, Presque Isle State Park and Waldameer Park & Water World and much more.

The house sits on a 3/4 lot with privacy all around the house. Quite neighborhood. If you enjoy morning walks this is the place to stay since there is very little traffic on our block.

The kitchen is spacious and the house speaks for itself since you feel welcomed into the home like it's your own.
Guest access
You'll have access to the entire house. We want you to feel welcomed as if you were back home. The back and front porches are great to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee/tea to relax in the morning before you start your day.
Other things to note
There is a fire pit in the backyard that can be used should you want to sit and have a beer or a glass of wine to end the evening. You'll find it peaceful as you listen to the night crickets as your sitting by the fire.

Better than home away from home!

My best recommendation is that this property will be the first I seek out when I travel to Erie again. It was so homey and comfortable - our hosts thought of everything to make for a wonderful stay. It was too chilly for us Floridians to take advantage of the yard, but would have loved to. I took the king bed while my sister took the double. We both slept great. The king is quite firm but I like that. The antique-like fridge and microwave brought us both back in time. And the TV!! We didn't watch, but it felt so nostalgic to see one of those big box TVs with rabbit ears. I felt like I was back at Grandma's, and for me, being with Grandma was the best time of my life. The location is peaceful, but close to roads to get anywhere. Great stuff nearby - shopping, restaurants, fishing/sports for those who want it. A score of 100+%!

Hospitable, Small, Well Located

I had a great time staying here. It was a small house but was well located, clean, and provided everything my family and I needed for our stay. I would recommend an improvement, even a mattress topper, for the full bed. Otherwise, comfortable home for a trip spent mostly roaming about the area. Very appreciative of our hosts who were communicative and accommodating. Thank you Craig and Annie!

Clean and nostalgic

I'll start by saying we couldnt of asked for better hosts. They were extremely prompt on replying back on every message i sent leading up to our stay. We came up to fish for a couple days and there was tons of room in the driveway for a boat just like they said. They were very catering to our needs and i couldnt ask for better. As far as the place goes nice neighborhood and very nostalgic with an entire antique presence throughout the entire house. It was pretty cool to feel and see all of the history inside. It was just two of us so it was way more house than we needed, but that is a good thing. I was very happy with my experience

About the host

Hosted by Craig and Annie Wilkerson

Married for 45 years and still having fun together. 2 beautiful daughters and 6 yorkie dogs. Enjoy going to see a great Garth Brooks concert with my husband.

Why they chose this property

When I met my husband Craig, we bought a house around the corner from his mom and dad's home on West 25th St. I always fell in love with mom and dads house on 24th St. When mom and dad passed we bought the house to keep it in the family. So here we are blessing others to enjoy the family homestead. Nothing like memories of being home!
That's why we call it "The Gathering Place."

What makes this property unique

The house sits on a 3/4 acre lot with a spacious back yard. Foliage all around the area so there 's a lot of privacy to sit and enjoy a picnic with the family.
10 mins away from Gannon University .8 mins away from Millcreek Mall if you like to shop. 10 mins away from Presque Isle State Park ( beach) If you like to golf, plenty of golf courses around . You can even ride your bike around the neighborhood.
Plenty of places to eat too.
Or order a pizza and sit in the backyard by the campfire.
