Right now, you're thinking about
being somewhere other than sitting at your computer. You NEED to get
away. Maybe it's stress from your job. Too many deadlines, again.
Perhaps your anniversary or your birthday is approaching and you want to
do something more romantic and special than what you did last year. Or
maybe you're planning your next vacation and you've considered driving
along the
Great Lakes
as part of your travel plans. Maybe, just maybe, everyday stresses have
you thinking that a weekend away from work or the kids might be exactly
what you need. We can help.
Lake View
is the perfect get-away for rejuvenation or celebration.
Whether you'd prefer to walk down
the grand staircase to the lake or rest comfortably in your cozy room,
we are your relaxation headquarters. Many of our guests have been coming
here for years, some for decades, and the serenity of our eight acres is
what keeps them coming back. We offer clean, charming accommodations in a
spectacular setting. We
have only 14 rooms so we're never crowded. And we are located away
from city traffic yet we're just 10 miles from downtown Erie
Bay Front.
Need to clear your mind? Call us. We
have just the place...

The
Property

|
Our peaceful, park-like
property is located on the shoreline of Lake Erie. In fact, of the 50 or so miles of Lake Erie coastline in Pennsylvania, we offer the only lodging right on the lake. To get
to the lake, descend the grand solid wood staircase and scale the last
few feet of shale. Relax along the way on the built-in seats overlooking
the lush greenery and gurgling stream of the ravine.
Spring is wonderful time to rekindle romantic interests. Spend some quality
time reacquainting yourselves while strolling down to the lake or along
nearby vineyards, or just relaxing in your room playing a board game and
enjoying libations from local wineries.
Summer, you'll want to take a dip in our
heated outdoor swimming pool. Or perhaps you'd prefer badminton,
horseshoes, practicing your short game (Golf), or bocce on our expansive lawn. Find shade under one of the
many trees and just let yourself drift away in that book you've put off
reading... until now! You can even select a board game from the lobby
and sit at one of our picnic tables in the shade. We've found that
relaxing in our wonderful Adirondack chairs overlooking the lake from
our 120 foot perch is most people's favorite pastime, however!
Fall is
particularly peaceful and romantic. Autumn's paints are splashed upon
the maple trees and the delicious scent of concord grapes fills the
chilly evening air. You'll want to take morning strolls or afternoon
drives along the vineyards. Daytrips to Findley Lake, Peak 'n Peek, Panama Rocks, or Presque Isle State Park
make for pleasant excursions, all within a half-hour's drive!
Winter, bring along some warm clothing and take an
invigorating stroll down to the frozen lake. The tranquility of the ice
dunes will mesmerize you and capture your childhood imagination. Upon
returning to your cozy room, take off your shoes and pour yourselves a
glass of the wine you purchased at one of several local wineries. Return
to the early days of your romance by enjoying some quiet time playing a
board game, or reading poetry to each other. An eclectic collection, our
modest but ever expanding selection of books may offer just what you
need to feed your reading appetite while sipping complimentary tea. As long as you're content, we're
content.

If you prefer more luxurious surroundings we offer "Annie's
Retreat". This suite has a
queen bedroom with a walk in closet; living room with queen sized sofa

health and noise reasons, and in the interest of all guests staying with
us, we do NOT allow allow pets of any kind.

Best Lake Erie Hotel

The property sits atop a 120-foot
bluff overlooking
the Great Lake Erie
. This allows for spectacular views! If you've never been to any of
the Great Lakes, you'll be impressed by the lake's sheer size. Like the ocean, the
lake stretches out to create the horizon. You can only imagine the
splendor of watching a summer storm brewing over the water, or the
simple joy of hearing and seeing Canada geese flocked atop floating
islands of ice in the winter. If you're fortunate enough to be here
while Erie's flagship, the Niagara, sails by in full regalia, you are in for a rare and very special
treat. Above all, we are certain you will not forget the delight of the
world famous Erie sunsets; they will tranquilize your thoughts and help complete your days
of relaxation at LakeView.

$139 per night, plus tax. Suites range from $165 to $225 plus tax. Reservations are

reservation, with the balance paid at time of arrival. Because we
rent almost exclusively by phone reservationsand we have a limited number of rooms, we appreciate your understanding that we must enforce a 7

less than 7 days prior to arrival are subject to deposit forfeiture.
Your room deposit, less a $10 cancellation fee, is refunded only if the
cancellation is made more than 7 days from our 1 p.m. check-in time on
the first date of reservation, or if the room is ultimately rented to
