Ripley Cottage | LAKEFRONT PRIVACY ON SUNSET COVE

3 Bedroom Cottage in Ripley

Relax in this super comfortable and cozy cottage high on the cliffs above the always changing waters of Lake Erie. Designed for total comfort and amazingly quiet respite from the real world, our location is reminiscent of the Amalfi coast, but a whole lot more convenient. Enjoy the indoor log burning fireplace with a gas starter, and our granite outdoor fire pit. We recently added a new 2024 Calspas Hottub (OPEN from late April-Mid Nov), that overlooks the lake and sunsets, right off the deck of the cottage. We have a newly added Gazebo lakeside.. so you can enjoy a cocktail, and/or dinner, while taking in the most beautiful sunsets you will ever experience.
The cottage and gardens are perched high up on the cliffs of Lake Erie, currently there is no lake access to the water. Unfortunately the stairs were destroyed 3 times last year, due to higher than normal water levels, and the small beach was under water 90% of the season. So rebuilding them again seems futile at this time.....However, there is a pet friendly sandy beach at Barcelona Harbor about 7 miles away, that we use. It is a great place to swim, relax, kayak, Stand Up Paddleboard, and picnic. It is a sandy beach, and a sandy bottom lake floor...so easy to walk and swim.
There are several wineries and restaurants in nearby Westfield and North East... most visitors to Sunset Cove opt to spend most of their time unwinding on a chair, or on the swing watching some of the most glorious views on the planet.
We are located on the Lake Erie Wine Trail, and there are 26 wineries that make up the complete wine trail. Wineries are open YEAR ROUND and close only on major holidays. There is a very popular Wine Festival each year in late September as well as a cherry festival in July.
We are also only 20 miles away from The Chautauqua Institution, and the lake activities surrounding Lake Chautauqua. Chautauqua is well known around the world for its summer cultural concerts, lectures, operas, etc. For those who prefer a more active stay, there is a public boat launch where you can launch your boat or Jetski. Chautauqua is great for skiing, wakeboarding, and fishing…in the event that Erie is too rough. FYI- Chautauqua Marina also rents boats by the day.
If you want to get out on Lake Erie there is a public boat launch in Barcelona with overnight boat slips. Also, the same accessibility at North East Marina, going 4 miles towards PA on rt 5.
This is our summer “home away from home”, and we are pet friendly (as we have a dog). Please do not allow your dogs to dig (or roam) into the flower beds or the neighbors yard (the entire backyard is fenced). We want them to remain beautiful for everyone (With that in mind). Anyone staying for a week, there could be a time where yard care workers will be coming on the property to water the gardens, and mow the lawn. They will go about their business, but it is a necessity to keep the place looking great! We also have exterior only security cameras, to ensure that the property isn't being broke into while we are away. We also use it to monitor the yard and gardens while away, to know when to come up to water the gardens and mow the lawn, as we are over 2 hours away.
We hope you will enjoy your stay, and feel as comfortable and refreshed as we do every time that we are lucky enough to unwind here.

Summary: Chris was an exemplary host. We were able to check in early. He also offered a late checkout which we didn’t need.We were greeted with music playing and a chilled bottle of Proseco on the table. A beautiful sunset followed though not sure if he has that kind of pull.The house was as advertised. A porch looking out on the lake as well as a covered pergola just feet from the cliff on Erie provided a serene aspect to the stay. Spent nearly every waking hour at the house in one of those two places. The master bedroom offered an inspiring view of the lake. Two guest bedrooms at the opposite end of the house were comfy.The house’s kitchen was modern with anything you needed to produce and store a meal. A gas grille off the laundry room made steaks very tasty. The coup de grace was a flower garden between the house and the lake worthy of a small English estate. Credit to Chris’s partner Dick.The house itself was decorated with both a professional rigor mixed with myriad items with which Chris and Dick expressed their romance with the property. It was a wonderful respite for two kids from Dunkirk now retired to Florida.Finally, Nancy and I left some personal items behind absentmindedly. Chris dispatched them to Florida within 24 hours. Bravo!
