The lake view was just beautiful! The house was immaculate and the kitchen was well-stocked with cookware and utensils. We enjoyed the enclosed porch on the rainy day we had and the fire pit in the evenings! Overall, a perfect spot to relax and enjoy family time.

What a lovely note to read, thank you! We're so glad the lake view stood out and that the house felt immaculate and well-stocked for your stay. It sounds like the enclosed porch and fire pit made for the perfect backdrop to relax and enjoy family time together.

We are a large family who came to town for a family wedding. This home was a wonderful base for the many events of the weekend. The house was clean and exceeded our expectations. Morning coffee on the Sun porch was just delightful. Great communication with the host and the team. We would definitely consider staying here again if needed and would highly recommend this Home. Thank you for allowing us to stay!

Thanksgiving stay

This house was exactly what we needed for three families and ten people ages 6 months to 60. We were visiting family in Erie and Corry. We were pleased with the house. Arrived with a light left on for us, heat set to a comfortable temperature and even fresh fall flowers in a vase on the table.

It appeared as though it was freshly painted and looked lovely.The beds appeared to have new sheets and comforters.Love the appliancesIt was warm on Saturday and we took advantage of the porch overlooking the lake.Suggestion: New chairs around the table would be perfect. the chairs around the kitchen table were wobbly and one was broken.

Great Lakeside Stay!

Our stay at Edinboro lake was wonderful. The house was one level with plenty of space. Since we had friends and family staying with us, we appreciated all the doors that helped with privacy. The rental was super pet friendly which made our weekend getaway even more special when the dogs can be with us. We had planned for each household to bring ingredients to make a meal and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed such as plates, kitchen silverware, plenty of bowls. baking pans, toaster etc. The house had two refrigerators which came in handy for keeping drinks in one and food in the other. We spent lots of time out on the dock fishing and even rented pontoon boats and kayaks from the near by Lake resort. Since it was a chilly weekend we ended up making use of the firepit more than expected. The only complaint was the weekend went by too fast. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Lake House!

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the Lakeside house. We loved that there were 6 beds and 2 bathrooms because everyone had their own space! The view was spectacular, and we really enjoyed sitting in the front room overlooking the lake. This place has everything you could want!

Wish we could have another stay!

Clean well appointed home with lots of comfy places to sit! Seriously this is a big deal if you plan to do anything other than sleep at a house. Perfect view and location. My only complaint is that it’s so great for large groups (we had 6 and all of us had our own beds and bedrooms- nice!) the word is out and it’s always booked! We’ve stayed at several homes in lakeside since our daughter attends edinboro university and this one is by far our favorite. We wish it was available for graduation weekend but alas it’s already booked. Thank you for the wonderful stays!
