About Pakelo Hospitality
Rooted in Erie.
Built ON Hospitality.
Local hosts · Presque Isle · Erie, Pennsylvania
Our Story
Pakelo Hospitality was built on a simple belief — that Erie, Pennsylvania is one of the most underrated destinations in the country, and that the people who visit it deserve a better experience than what the big booking platforms offer.
We're local. Every property in our portfolio sits within 1.2 miles of Presque Isle State Park — because we know this park, this city, and this shoreline. We know where the locals fish, which beach is quietest on a Saturday morning, and what makes Erie worth coming back to year after year.
When you book with Pakelo, you're not filling a room. You're staying in a home that someone who lives here chose, furnished, and cares about — and you're getting the real Erie experience along with it.
We didn't start a
rental business.
We invested in Erie.

WHAT WE STAND FOR
Three things we never compromise on.
01
Local First
Every property is locally owned, locally managed, and locally loved. We don't outsource guest relations to a call center. When you reach us, you reach someone who lives here.
02
Direct Always
We believe guests shouldn't pay platform fees just to book a vacation. Book direct with Pakelo and you'll always get our best rate — guaranteed, with no hidden charges.
03
Guest Ready
Every Pakelo property is inspected, stocked, and ready before you arrive. Clean linens, working everything, and a welcome that feels like someone actually prepared for you.
Why Erie
Erie sits on the southern shore of Lake Erie with ~4 million visitors making their way to Presque Isle State Park every year — yet it remains one of the most genuinely local, unpretentious destinations in the Northeast. No crowds at the best spots. No velvet ropes. Just beaches, great fishing, Waldameer's rides, and a community that's genuinely glad you came.
We've built our entire portfolio around Presque Isle's best neighborhoods because we believe proximity to the park isn't just a selling point — it's the whole point.
This city doesn't
need to be discovered.
It needs to be visited.
