Cozy Ski-in/Ski-out with room for the whole family
The house was clean and well appointed. Chad was easy to contact and friendly. The location could not be beat. We literally put our skis on and stepped on to the slopes. It was amazing

Cute quaint little cottage… beautiful location

Gracie's Great Getaway
The cabin was on the river and had a very nice yard that sloped right down to the water. It was November and we did fish a little but were unlucky. I would definitely rent this in the summer just to play in the water. There was fire wood and a great fire pit. The deck and furniture were excellent. The cabin was spotless and had amenities that I did not expect--dish soap, kitchen towels, washer, dryer. etc. The only possible negative comment is that the sitting area was combined with the kitchen so the TVs were located in the bedrooms. This would have been fine had it been more than my husband and I. We usually travel with family and never turn on a TV. The host, Erwin, communicated well and made sure we could contact him at any time with any questions. I would rent again from him with confidence.

Gorgeous lake front house w/ private dock
We had a wonderful time. Jean was always incredibly quick to respond to the few questions I had and very courteous. The view was great and the location was absolutely perfect to watch the sun rise in the morning. Thanks for the good memories!

French Creek River Lodge
Staying in Gene's home felt like staying with family. He truly is the most generous and thoughtful host we've ever encountered: the fridge is stocked with loads of beverages (wine, beer, canned cocktails, bottled water); breakfast foods: eggs, English muffins, cheese, Canadian bacon. He's also stocked the pantry with plenty of snacks, cooking essentials, e.g., seasonings, oils, plus all the cooking utensils and items you'll need. The house is well-laid out, comfortable and private. Beautiful views of nature and the creek. We loved streaming at night on the cozy sectional sofa -- I fell asleep on it 2 night in a row. Other thoughtful touches: candles on a timer, loads of books all over the house, double-filtered water from the tap, dog-friendly ice melt, dog poop bags, cozy throw blankets. We look forward to returning. Thanks, Gene, for all your communication (and patience with my many questions) and your spirit of generosity.

Lovely house on a hill w/a view
Wonderful place!! Home has all amenities with huge full windows & high ceilings overlooking the lake in a great small community of 50 private homes with lovely & friendly neighbors. Proximity to Jamestown & Chautauqua institutions was great. Use of bike paths in adjoining Camp Chautauqua(100 acre site with 100 mobile trailer homes & 20 small fixed homes ) was great Also private tennis/pickelball court available at no cost on premises & large pool on adjoining camp property available as well as 2 boat docks.Great & safe for young children as community is private with no through streets & most kids & people use golf carts. There is adjoining campsite playground on lakefront which is great for young children. Bring a boat or kayak along & use Chautauqua institutions nearby for nightly entertainment as well as day lectures , art instruction courses sailing school, variety of day courses & lectures with great theater & opera productions. only 3 miles away.

Entire Cottage Sleeps up to 8
This house was the perfect getaway! The location was close to town and the highway but in a nice quiet neighborhood. The space and amenities were exactly as listed and all the kid friendly additions at the house were great! The hosts were very friendly and responsive. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Lakeside Sunrise
We had an amazing stay at Ava’s lake house! The pictures truly do not do it justice. The view of the lake was incredible—we spent hours sitting outside, enjoying the peaceful scenery, having a fire, and watching the boats go by. The home felt like our own, with all the comforts we needed, including everything for grilling and making breakfast. It was so cozy, private, welcoming, and the perfect spot to relax. We did not want to leave. This was, by far, my favorite Airbnb experience yet. We can’t wait to come back!
Your guide to Canadohta Lake
All About Canadohta Lake
Located about 30 miles south of Erie in northeastern Pennsylvania, Canadohta Lake is a tranquil spot where low-slung summer cottages, small wooden docks, and patches of emerald-green grass punctuate the seemingly endless woodlands. As the second-largest natural lake in Pennsylvania, it is a popular place for swimming, boating, and year-round fishing. The small village of Canadohta Lake provides everything you need for a fun vacation, including restaurants, shops, and kid-friendly attractions like miniature golf, roller skating, and a giant water slide that drops you directly into the lake.
The surrounding areas are home to historic small towns like Union City and Spartansburg, and you can also find many Amish communities nearby. In under 30 minutes, it’s possible to reach the Erie National Wildlife Refuge, which serves as a home for many species of migrating birds and offers short loop trails that put you closer to the park’s pristine nature and captivating wildlife.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Canadohta Lake
Thanks to a wide array of activities throughout the year, it’s always a good time to book Canadohta Lake rentals. The summer months have the warmest, sunniest weather, and you will find the lake buzzing with activity as people head out onto the water in boats, kayaks, and pontoons. The temperatures begin to dip in fall, and the leaves surrounding the park change into a sea of reds and yellows. In winter, the temperature drops significantly, and by the end of December, the lake may begin to freeze.
Canadohta Lake is extremely quiet for most of the winter, allowing you to enjoy the lake in solitude. In February, things get a little busier as the annual ice fishing festival brings in anglers of all ages hoping to pull in northern pike, muskie, walleye, perch, and crappie. By March, things start to thaw out, and during the spring, the trees begin to flower.
Top things to do in Canadohta Lake
Canadohta Lake Park
Canadohta Lake Park is the perfect place to lounge on a bench or picnic on the grass with an ice cream cone in hand. The nearby streets are lined with mom-and-pop restaurants, a small general store, and souvenir stands, and at sunset you can wander down to the shoreline where grass meets sand and watch the orange hues disappear behind the water.
Union City
Located less than 15 minutes from the shores of Canadohta Lake, Union City is a quiet rural town whose historical brick buildings date back to the early 20th century, when the town was home to many factories and mills. The town museum gives an interesting look into the history of Union City, which is symbolic of the many small cities across the region that got left behind when factories closed.
Amish country
The area surrounding Canadohta Lake is home to a large Amish population. You can visit many of the local Amish-run businesses, including restaurants, farm stands, and some of the best oak furniture shops in northeastern Pennsylvania.
