About this property

Secluded Cottage with Hidden Cove on Lake Erie

This secluded cottage rests on 2.5 acres on the shores of Lake Erie offers amazing views with complete privacy. There is a private drive to the property that leads you to amazing sunsets, fire pit, grapes, berries, eagles, deer, and wildlife. The perfect getaway to enjoy your own private paradise. Excellent restaurants, attractions await you in the heart of the wine country..
The space
Completely renovated living area, kitchen, and master suite in 2021. There are two bedrooms one with a queen bed (new mattress and box spring) and the other with two twin Thermopedic mattresses. The living area has a large sectional to view large TV, pellet stove, or Lake Erie. The kitchen and dining area have a large counter that overlooks the living area. Two full baths are available.
Guest access
You will be secluded from the rest of the world.
Other things to note
The property does not have public water or sewer because it is so secluded. However, a new water treatment system and 500 gallon holding tank were installed in the Fall of 2021. Do not expect a shower massage as the water pressure is not strong on any well system. However, do expect an amazing stay on your own little paradise. The dock with ladder going down to the beach area will be installed by May 1. The beach is rocky, but smooth rocks.
PLEASE NOTE: Lake Erie recently took away our small beach so there is a solid slate rock Lake Erie bottom about six feet deep in the cove. There are many nearby beaches 5, 10, and 15 miles away going both dirrections. The property is still amazing with views and privacy, but Lake Erie is extremely powerful at times. Individuals who love to fish will appreciate the property even more with fishing available off the dock from May 1st to September 30th. Note that the dock must be removed by October 1st when extremely strong waves are more likely.

Anniversary Getaway

The privacy and the views definitely were not oversold. The view from fire pit looks tropical. We found Five & 20 Spirits and Arundel Cellars on our last night, wish we would have found them sooner. The impromptu band at Five & 20 was outstanding.

Wine venture

The cabin was very nice, clean and had everything you needed. Bit of a problem with drowsy bees though. Had to rid around 10 of them. Not sure where they were coming from but Overall it was a lovely place!

Beautiful scenery

Nice peaceful place to stay. Was a little upset that the water was high and there was no beach at the cove, as stated in the information and seen in the pictures but it was beautiful. The inside of the cabin was very nice. The outside needed some clean up but over all it was a nice weekend.

Unique hideaway with all the conveniences

We loved our stay at the end of the gravel road from the main highway. The grounds are well kept and invite strolling around a bit, with the groundhog. The host maintained excellent communication. The bed upstairs is very comfortable for sound sleep. This is very close to relatives in Pennsylvania. We'll be back.

Total seclusion and waterfront sunsets.

Fantastic seclusion and waterfront, a rare combination. Only one other home is even visible from the property, and it did not appear to be in use at this time. Also the wildlife, we saw deer, groundhogs and chipmunks right on the grounds, and bald eagles overhead. This is an older home which shows its age on the outside, but the interior is nicely redone. If you like total seclusion and waterfront sunsets, this is a great choice.

A beautiful secluded place on Lake Erie

If you are looking for a place to unplug, rest, and relax, this is the place. We took advantage of the location and spent a day in Niagara Falls. We also explored some of the local area beaches (Twenty mile beach and Shades beach). We were lucky enough to drop the ladder one day and swim in beautiful Lake Erie. The property is absolutely beautiful. We picked wild blackberries and enjoyed the sunset each night from the dock. We are returning to life rested and rejuvenated. The host is great! They took care of us very quickly when a concern arose.

Amazing location!!

This was a girls trip for my daughter's and I. We LOVED the Cove so close to the house! We had breakfast on the ledge above and were mesmerized by the huge crashing waves which sounded like thunder at times! We got drenched once even though far away. The sunsets were breathtaking unlike we've ever seen! The water was way too rough to swim in while we there but someone did just a few days before our stay. The yard was filled with beautiful wildflowers. We brought folding chairs which we were SO glad we did to be able to sit near the waves. The house was very comfortable and unique. It had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay. It would be great to see it at another time of the year!

About the host

Hosted by Joshua Boscaljon

Host profile image
This is the first property my wife, son, and I purchased in 2020. We completely gutted 80% of the interior and remodeled it. We fell in love with the property itself before ever going inside the cottage. We had no idea how much fun it would be creating the perfect getaway. At least two couples were engaged on the property. Two are planning to marry on the property. Many couples celebrated anniversaries, birthdays, and life with friends and family. We love to help people celebrate and enjoy their stay. We always strive to exceed expectations and love making your stay a special time. Because it is such a private setting we keep our distance, unless you need something. Looking forward to celebrating life with you!

Why they chose this property

This property is amazing! It has concord grapes, blue berries, and raspberries all around. Wildlife abounds with deer, bald eagles, foxes, and birds. It is close to many attractions (Finley lake, Chataqua Institute, Waldameer, Presque Isle, restaurants, horse back riding, Amish trail, farmer's markets, beaches, and more.) But nothing beats just enjoying the sunsets of Lake Erie, fire pit with chairs and picnik tables, and swimming in Lake Erie. It feels like you are on a deserted island, except you often see fishing boats in the distance on Lake Erie.

What makes this property unique

The sunsets, privacy, and Lake Erie are incredible! The cottage is cozy and for cooler days and nights, the pellet stove creates the perfect getaway from the rest of the world.
