the area was nice and very close to Westfield for any of your last minute needs! The cottage was clean, comfortable (AC) and welcoming. All our entertainment needs were met (games, cards, dice and array of television options. The town was quaint and we visited a local antique store.

We had a very relaxing time and the cabin was very comfortable. The location to the lake and to Erie and Jamestown was just right. Would stay there again if coming back to the area.

Erie was great!

We loved staying at the house. It has a beautiful path to the rocky beach where we fished for steelhead and looked for beach glass. It’s easy to get around the area and a great base camp if you’re day-tripping to Buffalo, Erie or Niagara

Comfortable Cottage by the Lake

Dale’s cute cottage is a great place to stay to relax and enjoy the lake. It’s clean, quiet, with updated amenities, comfortable beds, and all the comforts of home. Only wish our schedule this trip to Westfield would have allowed us to spend more time right there. We’ll look forward to another stay when we can do just that.

Cute cottage

Cottage had everything we needed. Very cute. You could tell it was a little older with some structural and construction details-but that didn’t matter to us. Gave it 4 stars for cleanliness only because Dale thought we were coming the next day and didn’t have a chance to do a thorough clean-everything important was nice and clean though-but there were some cobwebs. Love the beach! Thanks for a fun weekend!

Lovely Lake Cottage

We had a fabulous time at this lovely cottage. It was truly a short walk to a semi-private beach where we spent hours collecting beautiful sea glass. We enjoyed a campfire along the path to the beach where a fire pit with seating and ample firewood was available. The home was clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive and provided a recommendation for where to get fresh fish to cook at the cottage. We only wish that our stay was longer. We hope to return!

Just Loved Our Stay!

I almost hate to say how much we enjoyed our trip! The house was clean, cute and comfy! The host left the door open and the key on the table. From then on, we were at home! Comfortable beds, great cable and my golden was in heaven. This house is close to a private beach and we enjoyed the beach during the morning walks looking for sea glass, to sunning in the afternoon and finally spectacular sunsets every night. We were not ready to leave! Picked pears at local farm, went to Farmers & Artisan Market on Saturday. We will definitely be planning a return trip!

Wonderful Stay

Quaint cabin in perfect location and short walking access to Lake Erie. Besides being so close to the lake the accommodations were close to Westfield, the Barcelona Lighthouse and the public beach & boat launches (5 minutes max drive). WiFi was easy to connect to along with Smart TV for access to personal streaming apps. The Matthews were responsive to inquiries in a very timely manner. AC units available, but hardly had to use - Great Lake breezes.

About the host

Hosted by Dale Mathews

Host profile image
We have lived in the area ever since we got married in 1989. We both grew up coming to the beach here as kids and in fact the house that we live in was a seasonal family cottage that we have turned into a year round home. We have always loved it here and we have 6 kids and they all also love it here.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because it is right next to our home. We feel that we are very blessed to live in such a beautiful place and we love to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is in a great location. It is very relaxed here. We have a small wooded area and a private beach which is really one of the best in the area. There are also so many things to see and do within a 30 mile radius of us. Also since we are right next door we are we will do anything we can to make sure your stay is memorable and enjoyable.
