At Serene location in middle of wine country, guests consistently praise the peaceful wooded setting near Lake Erie, clean and comfortable accommodations, and friendly, helpful hosting by Dave, with easy beach access via a short walk through the trees.
Many enjoy the deck, being able to hear the waves, and convenient drives to wineries, Westfield, and the Chautauqua Institution. Some found the woodland path and stairs to the beach steep or uneven, and a few mention dated bathroom fixtures and limited or seasonal lake views. Expect a simple, pet-friendly retreat by the lake.

I recently stayed at Dave’s place with my pet dog and friend and we loved the overall experience and our time there.beach was 2 min walk from the backyard and we could hear the waves at night. Felt like private beach with only locals/ neighbors there occasionally. Dave was very helpful in proving us with local information and best places for food and wine. The apartment had everything we needed and was clean. I highly recommend his Apartment if you are looking for some peaceful time by the beach which isn’t crowded and allows your pet to have fun too.

The apartment is very private and has a seasonal view toward Lake Erie. Private deck and loved drinking coffee in the morning from the deck while watching the birds (even saw a pair of eagles). Nice restaurants nearby in Westfield, and a short walk to Lake Erie. 20-25 minutes to Chautauqua Institution. I loved my week there and will definitely back.

This is our second time staying at Dave's place. We always enjoy ourselves there. The Lake Erie weather can be iffy, but there's lots to do in the area. The rental is a very short walk to the beach. If you're looking for a little place tucked away in the woods, but close to everything, this is the place to stay. Thank you Dave!-Jeff & Missy

Secluded, but people near, very quiet. Property was clean, and sufficient. We had everything we needed. The walk to the beach was a little challenging due to having both knees replaced, but the railings were so helpful! We spent a lot of time on the deck and at the beach, which were probably the best features!

This rental was next to perfect! Spent 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our entire stay! Dave was extremely accommodating and friendly. He provided a place for us to park our boat, and was there if we had any questions. The place was spotless and had everything we needed (minus a washer/dryer) for a vacation stay. The neighbors were beyond nice and everyone was kind to our dog who absolutely loved being able to run in the woods and hike down to the lake, as well as play with Chester. Visited wineries and a brewery on rainy days and fished on the nice ones. Wonderful relaxing vacation! We are already looking at dates to book a return visit! Thanks Dave

The kitchen had all the utensils to makes meals if you brought food to cook. The bathroom could use some updating, but it was clean with plenty of towels. The host was very responsive is we needed anytime. The lake is right out the back door and a short walk though the woods, it was a very cool experience. Overall it was a great value and we enjoyed our time here..

This is our second time staying at Dave's place. We always enjoy ourselves there. The Lake Erie weather can be iffy, but there's lots to do in the area. The rental is a very short walk to the beach. If you're looking for a little place tucked away in the woods, but close to everything, this is the place to stay. Thank you Dave!-Jeff & Missy

A lovely stay. It’s located in a sweet side street/dead end community with great neighbors. Dave was friendly and welcoming, available if needed, but we really didn’t need a thing. We (and our pup) loved the short walk through the woods to the beach. Next time, we’ll bring some beach chairs. Overall a great stay!

Dave was extremely helpful and friendly. He was there always ready to help if needed. My grandson and I stayed here for a fishing vacation. The stay was great and the apartment met our needs perfectly. Thank you, Dave, for everything you did.

If you're looking for a clean, quiet spot along Lake Erie that is close to everything you need and is affordable, look no further. In nearly 20 years of annual trips to Lake Erie's quiet towns of North East, Ripley, Westfield, and others this is hands down the best place we have ever stayed. Did I mention it is clean and quiet?
