Girls trip

Beautiful place! Rained all weekend but the Fisherman’s cottage was cozy and comfortable for the four of us.It is a little bit of a drive to nicer restaurants. But that would not deter me from going back again. Thoroughly enjoyed the space.

We had a fantastic time staying here. Everything was great and I cannot say enough good things about this place. The coffee provided was a nice touch AND the record selection was excellent . Comfortable sleeping arrangements and had a great view of the lake. Would definitely stay here again.

Sweet little spot overlooking the lake

We loved our time at this cozy cottage. It was clean and modern with lots of snuggly spots to enjoy the views of Lake Erie. It was the perfect location for exploring Chautauqua county’s many picturesque towns and villages, both along Lake Erie and into Lake Chautauqua.

Cozy Weekend Getaway

Very comfortable cottage with a great view of the lake. Cold weather prevented full enjoyment of the outside deck, but enclosed porch and well-thought out interior still made this an excellent choice without being weather-dependent. Perfect spot to rest and recharge - I look forward to returning!

What a find!!

After reading the other reviews, we booked this cottage and boy did it deliver! Amazing views, a hammock, firepit, and a perfect sun porch for reading, that we will return to enjoy in warmer weather. Inside, everything has been thought of and we wanted for nothing. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog, as well. Julie was attentive and quick to respond to any inquiries we had. You will not be disappointed so book it already!pup

Fisherman’s Cottage Portland, NY

The property was as amazing as the photos depicted! Our late November stay was ugly weather in New York State so we did not get to enjoy all that this amazing property offers on the banks of Lake Erie.

Bridesmaids stay

There were 5 ladies and we loved the stay. We didn’t see a larger skillet for breakfast. We ran the washer and dryer before leaving and loaded the dishwasher but did not see the dish pods under sink. Also there were spiders in door ways. Oh and be ware if you pull the flat screen tv out, or is left out as when you turn the fan on, it will catch it.

Weekend Erie Trip

We liked the house, it fit our needs for our plans in Erie. The sunset views over the lake were spectacular. Very clean, Julie was a fast with email replies and communication. The gas fireplace on Friday night was nice while overlooking the lake in the evening. Breakfast was easy in the kitchen both mornings, it had everything we needed for the 3 of us. Well thought out layout and a lot of attention to details. My daughter loved soaking in the huge bathtub Saturday night. Sitting on the front porch looking out over the lake with coffee in the morning is a treat. We spent Saturday on the Isle, paddleboarding, kayaking, local Meadery was great. For us, just sitting on the beach and talking, catching up is important. We used the firepit to cook our Saturday night meal, we brought our own cast iron cookware and then sat around it afterwards. Checkout was easy with very clear instructions.
