Family get away to this charming cottage on 600 ft of Lake

Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Bath

Charming red cottage with stone fireplace nestled on private 40 acre estate, 600 feet of Lake Erie waterfront, small boat launch, bullfrog pond, trickling stream, fruit trees, blueberries, walking trials at the end of half mile wooded driveway. Perfect for family reunions or vacation retreat located 22 miles West of Erie, PA and 8 miles East of Conneaut, OH.

This 4 bedroom home is available year round, but cross country skiing access maybe required for winter use. The property is bordered by Lake Erie to the North, Camp Lambec to the West and to the South and East are private undeveloped lands. Nearby, the largest tract of undeveloped land on the South Shore of Lake Erie, the Pennsylvania State Game lands/David M Roderick Wildlife Reserve; and the new Lake Erie Bluff's park is also nearby.

A historical property due to its location on the final 259th milepost of the pre-revolutionary war northern boundary of Pennsylvania. For history buffs, a granite monument near the highest bluff placed in 1910s marks the old state line and recounts the deed dating back to a treatise signed with the Indians and George Washington. The cottage built in the 1940s was expanded and renovated in 2000 to include a first floor master bedroom and private bath, a spacious maple cabinet kitchen, breakfast nook stocked with all equipment to prepare any meal. The living room has a stone, wood burning fireplace to make any night feel cozy. A lakefront dining room and settee, front and back decks both perfect places to relax, listen to the waves, see the boats go by and watch the hummingbirds dart around the feeder. If the weather turns, the enclosed front and back solarium settees allows you to take in the beauty.
The second floor has 2 bedrooms. One with 4 twin beds, the other with a full/queen bed and shared full bath. Main floor has a master suite queen, full bath and second bedroom single twin "Captains" room with its own half bath.

Nearby: Wineries, Covered Bridges of Ashtabula County, Geneva on the Lake, Presque Isle State Park, Tom Ridge Center, The White Turkey Drive-In, Peggy Gray Candies, Waldameer Amusement Park, Splash Lagoon, The Brig Niagara, Pymatuning Lake (where the ducks walk on the fish's backs), Amish country, Camp Lambec, Camp Fitch, Camp Sherwin, Camp Eriez, Charter Fishing in Conneaut or Erie (no cleaning fish at the cottage), Pizzi Pizza, Tasty Twist, Conneaut Lake Park, Golfing (Over Lake is very nice and nearby), Sea Kayaking, Canoeing (Grand River and Elk Creek are a short drive), jet skiing, Scuba Diving (yes, in Lake Erie!), Morel mushroom hunting, disc golf ...

Relaxing: The environment simply lures you into leaving your stresses behind. Read a book while relaxing in the hammock. Take the time for incredible sunsets.

Badminton, frizbe and bocce balls are all provided. The large yard is a great place to play catch.

Hiking: Over 4000 acres of State game lands are one mile to the west.

Boating: The cottage has plenty of room to park your boat. Smaller boats can be launched on the property and at Raccoon Creek Park. Larger boats will need to go to Conneaut, Elk Creek, or other nearby ramps.

Swimming: On your own private beach. Build a fire on the beach and cook a hot dog or roast a marshmallow. There is almost always drift wood to keep the fire going.

Hunting: Deer, turkey, dove and much more bring the hunters in from all over the world to nearby state lands - but not permitted on the cottage property.

Birding: At least 50 species of bird nest here. Bald Eagles, Mississippi Kites, Peregrine Falcons are all sighted during migration. Late August and early September brings Monarch butterflies on their way to Mexico. King rail, black tern, least bittern, great egret, yellow crowned night heron and the common tern are others the avid birder has a chance of seeing. Recently spotted Scarlet Tanager and Rose Breasted Grosbeak.

Fishing: Either from the shore, along Raccoon Creek, or nearby Elk and Walnut Creeks, your own boat or chartering in Conneaut or Erie. Walleye, Trout, Perch and many other species. Ice Fishing in Presque Isle bay is a popular winter sport. *NO CLEANING FISH AT THE COTTAGE*

Biking: The lightly traveled roads make for great rides, from leisurely to hard core. Check out Old Lake Road west of the OH/PA line, its awesome!

We didn't want to leave!
We were looking for a quiet getaway, and 22 Chains certainly delivered. We wandered the property, enjoyed the beach, did some sightseeing, and fell asleep to the sound of the waves every night. The house is beautifully furnished, with a large, well-equipped kitchen, a fantastic great room overlooking the lake, and multiple outside sitting areas. There are two steep staircases down to the lake, and additional stairs to get off the retaining wall, which could be challenging for some. While not a typical sandy beach, there's room to sit and relax; it's also great for collecting rocks and driftwood. Conneaut, OH is only a few minutes west, and Erie is only a few minutes east, so parks, restaurants, wineries, antique shops, lighthouses, and covered bridges are easily accessible. And don't forget Peggy Gray's Candies just down the street! David, the owner, was quick to reply to communications through the VRBO app, and accessible if needed during our stay. If you're looking for a place that's both quiet and convenient, 22 Chains is a great option!

Great time!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The location is beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch and on the deck. The kids loved their bedroom with the loft. The owner was very responsive to a few minor concerns.

Stay on the lake
My friends and I had a wonderful stay at 22 Chains. The house was very spacious with many options to hang out. The beds were very comfortable and the sounds of the lake very soothing. Also, the knives were sharp! A rarity in rental properties.

Great location. Great property. Great stay.
We spent a week at 22 Chains and our family fell in love with the place. The private lake access and the pond in the back of property allowed plenty of room for quiet relaxation and teenage fun! The owners were great and the house was fantastic. We hope to get back to 22 Chains and wish the owners all the best! Mike & Karen Betcher and Family Windber, PA

Quiet getaway
In a word this cottage is “wonderful!” The location is serene with the natural woodlands that surrounds the property. The views of the lake are stunning. Still a bit chilly to truly take advantage of the water but the youngsters of our group had a great time. What can be said about the cottage…..it was way beyond our expectations. So comfortable, cozy and felt like you were staying at a family home. Plenty of room to spend time as a family and also to find space for quiet alone time. Wow-we all left with the same opinion- best family vacation ever! Really would like to return in the future.
