Charming vacation cottage since 1930 with a spectacular view of Lake Erie

Enjoy a beautiful view of Lake Erie! This 1930s cottage sits atop a bank overlooking the Lake and provides an extraordinary respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. Relax listening to the waves or watching lake freighters pass in the night.

The area is full of charm, fun and nature: two nearby harbors, beautiful parks and beaches, 19 covered bridges, golf, birding hot spots, scenic overlooks, historic octagon houses, 24 wineries and many restaurants - quirky casual to fine dining.

We're new to VRBO, but don't worry, you won't be disappointed. The cottage and hosts have catered to hundreds of happy guests after a reopening in 2019. In the short time since then, many guests have returned two or three times and some six times. Nothing speaks louder than repeat business!

For decades this cottage was booked solid with regulars who had standing reservations. As guests and the owner aged the property remained well-maintained, but was never marketed and use diminished. We're thrilled to be able to begin sharing this special place again.

The electrical and plumbing have been completely updated; the heating and cooling are new. By design, some original furnishings remain to maintain the original charm and character. In a few cases, there may be a bit too much character as we painstakingly work to restore some pieces to their former glory. The process will take time, but you'll find the space peaceful and comfortable with an unbeatable view.

What Canary Cottage may lack in polish, it makes up for in charm. Our guests find it a wonderful antidote to the sterile and predictable lodging that’s too common – and they tell us the hosts are great too! :)

For those who need modern amenities, we offer those too. We provide 47 live TV channels, streaming options via Roku or bring your own streaming device, e.g. Chromecast, Firestick or AppleTV to connect to an HDMI port A powerful router, discretely located in the living room, is connected to 200 Mbps internet service, making it perfect for those that have to catch up on work or just for uploading your photos of the lake!

Wonderful, quiet getaway
What a lovely getaway spot! This little house has spectacular views of the lake, and it relaxes you just to sit on the enclosed porch and listen to the waves lap. This place is a throwback to lake cabins of my childhood - not fancy, but very comfortable - except, I should note, with really good wifi for computers and streaming TV. Rick and his dad were super responsive when I asked anything and very unobtrusive the rest of the time, and both check-in and check-out were a breeze. Thanks for a relaxing weekend away.

Cozy quiet cottage with an amazing view of Lake Erie
We volunteered at D-Day event and rented this place due to location. It was nice to be able to walk to the the park and then come back to the cozy cottage. Nice screened in back porch to sit and watch the waves of Lake Erie. The owner looked up the weather, sent the idea of walking to park, had the greatest greeter to welcome us, and had water and treats waiting for us. Couldn’t ask for a better host! The personal details were very thoughtful. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Cottage with beautiful view of the lake
We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was comfortable enough for the 4 of us. We had a beautiful view of Lake Erie, very relaxing. The neighborhood beach was a few minute drive and was clean and not overly crowded. The cottage was close to various places to eat. Rick and his father were lovely hosts who were very welcoming and accommodating. We would definitely book here again.

Quaint cottage on the lake
Quaint cottage with a decent view of the lake, clean, with thoughtful details that made the place feel well attended to. A bit rustic. Yard is on the small side. Excellent communication. We felt like old friends. Nice covered porch in back.
