This Place Rocks! Waterfall and lake access

We’ve carved out a masterpiece along the bluff- allowing a rare vantage point to relax, enjoy the breathtaking views, listen to waterfall and hide away! Located in a quiet Lakeside community just min from downtown and 15 min to Presque Isle.

Bright and comfortable two-story home with open floor plan kitchen, dining and dual living rooms. Master bedroom features a luxurious king bed, desk, large walk-in closet, tv and deck! Kitchen is always well stocked for cooking with spices, cleaning supplies and variety of coffees and teas. Full bathroom with shower and jacuzzi tub and bonus living room with pull-out sofa also on first floor. Luxurious bedding, towels, bath soaps and paper products are provided for our guests. First floor laundry, also.

Upstairs king bedroom has private balcony with incredible lake and waterfall view! Across the hall is bedroom #3 with 2 queen beds and large closet full of toys for hours of entertainment. Upstairs is also a small, full bathroom with bathtub only.

WITH CAUTION: This property sits 12-20’ above Lake Erie. While it makes for incredible views, visitors must be aware that there is no fence or railing along the rock wall or bluff. Children should not be left unattended in back yard or permitted to climb the rock wall. There is water access by carefully climbing down the natural rocks at the adjacent waterfall. There is no handrail and can be slippery. But people of all ages use the access and it makes for an awesome adventure! We recommend wearing crocs or old sneakers for wadeing in the water here. The soft sand beach is only a 15 min drive at Presque Isle State Park.

There is also a public pavilion and beach- full of beach glass at the corner of Lakeside and Chautauqua Blvd. Boat launch within a mile or 2 at Lampe Marina or Lakeside Boat Launch.

MAX GUESTS: This home is equipped to serve 6-10 guests comfortably. Please count ANY and ALL guests/visitors at the time of your reservation. Host and staff live nearby and are available should you need assistance.

PEACE PROMISE: We ask that guests respect this beautiful neighborhood and neighbors, specifically keeping quiet outside starting at 9 pm.

REST ASSURED: For verified reviews- Check out our sister properties located just down the street: The Blue House, Lakeside Ranch, Dreamy Lake House, Lake Erie Escape, Swept Away and more to come!

It indeed rocks
This is a most wonderful place to relax and take in the lake. The updated house is spacious with an open floor plan. The location is ideal to downtown and the peninsula. We enjoyed many evenings on the back patio and deck watching the sunset.

Beautiful Home
An amazing stay with multigenerational family. We absolutely loved this house & the memories we made here. The view is outstanding and we loved hanging out by the water roasting smores over the fire. The house fit us all comfortably, beds were comfortable, and the shower was amazing. The local chocolate sponge candy the host left as a welcome gift was the icing on the cake. Thank you for an amazing stay.

A perfect weekend getaway!
We had the best weekend for a girls trip staying at “This Place Rocks!” The home was stunning, clean, and very comfortable. We loved using the outdoor space to sit and chat and enjoy the beautiful weather and amazing Lake Erie views. We couldn’t stop saying how awesome the house was all weekend! It is also just a quick drive to tons of Erie food and entertainment. And, the host Janelle was extremely kind, responsive and available. For example, we ran out of propane for the grill and she was there in a matter of minutes to replace it so we could continue our cookout! I would highly recommend a stay here and I hope to return someday soon!

Best view in Lake Erie and the perfect house!
The home is beautiful, the location is perfect, and absolutely nothing can beat the view. This was our first trip to Lake Erie and we will definitely be back- and staying with the hosts again! We are loved this house, but they have more properties in the same area. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing family vacation. Thank you!

Would stay again
Was a great place to take our adult /teen children and new grandchild. Pros- enough space to fit everyone comfortably. Host was nice and I knew she was available if needed. Information book of their favorite places was nice, games for the kids and more. Cons- right next to a park where people frequently were drinking on the public cliff. This didn't bother us a lot because no one was unruly or belligerent. The shower was very cramped nicely done but the fixtures made it so there wasn't enough space. The grill was really dirty and the cover and surrounding area was full of dead bugs. All and all was a nice long weekend away and would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at This Place Rocks. The house was very nice and the view was absolutely amazing! We loved relaxing outside and spent a lot of time watching the lake and listening to the waves and the waterfall. It was only about a 15 minute drive from Presque Isle.

Perfect lake house
We were a group of 5 in Erie for my daughter’s college graduation and the house was perfect for our stay. The bedrooms are large and there are two bathrooms- one upstairs that is tub only and a large bathroom on the main level with tub and shower. But the lake views are truly the highlight! We sat outside a lot and just enjoyed the views. The neighborhood that the house is in is beautiful and we walked a bit. There is a trail that the host includes in the house book that we walked to, but didn’t explore because it had been raining and was pretty slick. The only information I would pass on that is not visible in the pictures is that there is a cemetery just to the left of the property. Some may have an issue with that, but we were fine with it. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay. Janelle was attentive to our needs and check in and out couldn’t have been easier. I just wish I would have known about this place when my daughter was a freshman!

Restful Cascade - A Peaceful Oasis on Lake Erie
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming VRBO property, and I must say, it was a truly restful and rejuvenating experience! The moment we stepped inside, we were struck by the immaculate condition and delightful decor of the place. The owners have done an excellent job of creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making us feel right at home. The property's location on Lake Erie was simply stunning, with a unique rock cliff and miniature waterfall added to the tranquil ambiance. The sound of the waves crashing against the slate shore line was incredibly soothing, and we found ourselves relaxing and unwinding in no time. Our hosts were fantastic, providing a thoughtful welcome gift and going above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. The attention to detail was impressive, from the comfortable furnishings to the board games and activities they provided (my son and I are still looking forward to a rematch at Connect Four!). Overall, we would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a peaceful and calming getaway. We can't wait to return and experience the serenity of Restful Cascade once again.

Beautiful property
My friends and I stayed at this property for a wine tasting weekend. We really enjoyed our stay. The area is very accessible to wineries and restaurants. The house was clean and accommodating with beautiful views and private lake access. The only drawback was that there is only one shower so it was a little tough with a group of 8 but everything else was awesome and we would stay again for sure.
