The absolute best
I have been staying here once a year for several years now. Each time I am reminded of what a perfect place it is! Lauren and her team do not miss a single detail, and the location is the absolute best. Clean, well stocked, so nicely decorated, there are no words that could ever do this place justice! A slice of heaven and I am grateful to be able to keep coming back!

Oasis of Serenity
It was above and beyond what is described. Very clean, and stocked with everything you need. So peaceful and still not sure which was more beautiful, the inside of cabin or the outside. Location was great. Close to anything you may want to venture out to see. Although once there you may not want to go anywhere. Loved just sitting on porch and listening to birds. Saw two fawns in yard. We just cant say enough about this place. Just a short walk to best view of Lake Erie. And if you love to cook, as I do, it was so well stocked with just about anything you need or want. Thank you for turning our moments into the best memories ever.

Gorgeous surroundings
The cabin was very nice, well stocked, and spacious. The wraparound porch was lovely, and provided great scenery for some of our meals. The nature of some of the beds in those little alcoves could make sleeping cramped for a larger number, but for six it worked perfectly. By far and away the best highlight is that overlook. Just a short walk away, beautiful view while benefiting from the shade of the trees. Woods and beach in one location really can't be beat. The beach itself was slightly harder to access than I had realized, but it didn't stop us going down there several times. While the weather was cloudy enough to prevent us getting a perfect sunset, I can only imagine what that view must be like. What we got was stunning enough.

Clean space- room for some improvements.
We had a great weekend at the cabin. It’s very clean especially because dogs are allowed which we absolutely LOVE. Everything is modern and tasteful. It’s well stocked with anything you need- and I mean anything. Good attention to detail and easy communication with Lauren. We spent my 40th birthday weekend here with another family, our children, and as mentioned our dogs. The beach itself is quite private and beautiful. Close to eerie- we loved Presque Isle. Barcelona beach is a few miles up the road from the cabin and was a great fishing spot for the boys. Cons: The pictures of the wooden stairs down to the water needs update or removed- there are stairs missing and broken and there’s about a 20-30ft drop there. The metal stairs located over toward the public beach are accessible but they’re very steep to be careful and there’s one section midway that is treacherous and gave me major anxiety that one of the kids was going to fall backward. I guess it’s hard to explain, but it’s definitely a little scary. No dishwasher, washer/dryer there- which would be a major time saver and improvement to the space. A small pantry would also be beneficial. A small handheld vacuum would be great also bc with kids and dogs you’re dragging sand in and out bc of the beach and obviously being in the woods.

Highly Recommend - Great Views
Booked this property to watch the 2024 solar eclipse (more than 2 years advance!) and it did not disappoint! Beyond the fact that it was the perfect size for my group (7 adults), very clean, and stocked with everything we could possibly need, the best part of this property by far is the views!! I highly recommend this property - the property manager is great, was a great value, and it was the perfect setting for witnessing the total eclipse - an experience I’ll never forget!

NYE Getaway
The hubs and I went for a NYE relaxing getaway with our three dogs. The place was perfect and exactly as described. It had everything you needed, lots of blankets and towels, clean, kitchen was well equipped for cooking, etc. The property is also really nice, the dogs enjoyed sniffing and trudging through the trees, the view of the lake is beautiful and the stone firepit was put to good use. We will definitely be booking again in warmer weather!

Beautiful cabin in the woods
This place was perfect for 4 adults. Very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. You can get to a spectacular Lake Erie beach down a steep staircase near the back of the property. Chautauqua was a good 20 minute or so drive from the house, but we enjoyed the commute through miles of vineyards. Several wineries and breweries in the area. The fire pit and wrap around porch got lots of use. The hosts provided coffee, tea, and S’mores ingredients which was a nice touch! We would love to stay here again!

Exactly As Pictured
This adorable cabin is exactly as pictured. We have stayed at many cabins in the past and they usually are minimally stocked. The owners of this cabin take care to furnish it with anything you could want. It almost feels like you are staying with a friend. From toothbrushes to coffee, you will have everything you need. There are even condiments waiting for you in the fridge and supplies for a campfire complete with smore ingredients. If you're looking for a quaint, clean cabin in the woods, this is it. Beds were comfy, access to cabin was easy. Lauren was very responsive and hospitable.

Not as described in the description
The description stated it had a full bed on main floor and there was none. If you have mobility issues this place is not for you. As far as getting to the lake, the stairs are very steep. Would definitely not recommend if you have mobility issues. I reached out to the home owner she offered to compensate us but I did not see the message she sent. After explaining to her I did not see the message, she became irate in her second message to me because I called her deceptive. Which the description is very miss leading. Please be aware of this. We never did get compensated for any part of our stay. We ended up cutting our trip short. Also, the water had a terrible sulfur smell which we mentioned our first night there. We were later told, after we had left, that it could have been chlorinated. Would definitely not recommend based on our experience.

An adorable cabin!! Well stocked bathrooms and kitchen. Lots of cooking utensils, disposable plates and silverware, tons of coffee, games, blankets, flashlights extra toiletry items incase you forgot…. Seriously everything. I stayed with a few of my girlfriends and we had a great weekend of playing games and going to the local wineries. We took a walk down to the lake near sunset and it was beautiful but a big cold as it was February. We would stay again!

We’ve stayed in a lot of VRBO houses in the US and Canada and Sunset Cabin is easily in our top three. The location suited us for a Christmas week spent skiing in Ellicotville (under an hour’s drive), tubing at the Peak (20 minutes drive) and visiting nearby relatives. The cabin itself is a handsome modern rustic structure, well represented by the listing photos, and easily accommodated our family of four plus a few overnight guests. Loved the stone fireplace on a few cold nights. Especially appreciated (and often glaringly lacking in VRBOs) were the thoughtfully stocked and supplied kitchen and bathrooms. Most importantly, booking, check-in/out, and other communication with the owners was a breeze. Thanks, Lauren!
