About this property

There's no place like the cottage! Beautiful cozy cottage, minutes from beach

There's no place like the cottage! It’s a beautiful, fully updated cottage which is located in a quiet cottage community off Lake Huron. Can be used year-round so you can enjoy the dazzling summer days as well as the winter wonderland. It offers air conditioning, heat and a cozy fireplace. This is the first time we are offering the cottage to renters.

Our 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage is just the place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life while enjoying the beachside community. We are just 2 minutes from private beach access and a 10-minute walk to the popular historic Point Clark lighthouse and main beach. You can enjoy swimming at the beach and majestic sunsets. A boat launch is also at the lighthouse.

This cottage sleeps 6 comfortably, can easily accommodate up to 8. It’s well stocked with everything you need, just pack your bags and enjoy!

Dine and play in the dinning room. We offer a table which turns into bumper pool and can be used for cards games including poker.

Living room: Comfortable seating with plenty of room to spend lazy afternoons. It is equipped with a smart tv which will provide you access to all your favorite streaming accounts ie: logging into your Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and more. It includes a DVD/VHS player with a selection of movies to choose from. Enjoy playing Nintendo on an NES system or making memories laughing and having fun playing one of the many games available.

Laundry Room: Washer and Dryer

Outside: Relax by the large outdoor firepit area and enjoy some roasted marshmallows. There is ample seating outside both by the firepit as well as on the large composite deck. The deck offers a huge umbrella for shade, perfect for lounging on the outdoor furniture. The back deck has a gas BBQ for all of your grilling needs, if open flame cooking is more your style there is a cooking grill for the firepit. Spend all day outside on the large property that is surrounded with trees for privacy, the space offers plenty of room to spread out and play lawn games or have a water fight. At night, gaze up at the breathtaking stars.

The cottage is in a quiet family friendly neighborhood where people wave to each other. Please respect the neighbours and the quiet and peaceful surroundings. Quiet hours are from 10:00 pm until 8:30 am. This space is not appropriate for parties or large get togethers. It is a quiet family vacation spot.

Fabulous cozy cottage. All amenities included. Private beach access is nice, especially for watching sunset and stargazing. Short walk to main beach is best for swimming (or 2 min drive). Host was responsive and courteous! Would love to return

Fun Family week

I stayed at this cottage with my wife and 2yr old. We had our in-laws visit also. It was a perfect place to stay with my family. We enjoyed camp fires and the short trip to the beach. The place was very clean on arrival and they had everything you need for a fun week at a cottage.

This cottage met and went far beyond my expectations, we truly enjoyed our stay and will happily book it again. Our host Jessica was great at sharing the information needed, and when we requested to have an extra night, she communicated promptly and made the process painless. We are definitely looking forwards to booking again!

Time with the family

We had a wonderful time! This cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed. The little beach that is about a 1-minute walk away was perfect for hanging out or to watch the sunset. Then there were multiple beaches close by that were perfect for swimming and spending the day The host was quick in responding and very accommodating. We will definitely return

Family Golf Getaway

Excellent accommodations with plenty of space for 6 adults to sleep and to sit in the common areas. Lots of parking spots made it a no worry weekend for 4 vehicles and there was still space for more. The firepit area was enjoyed by all with more than sufficient seating. The abundance of linens and pillows was appreciated. The kitchen is well stocked with the necessities for any type of cooking/baking. Separate beer/wine is a great addition and was well used. The BBQ worked well. We all appreciated the well stocked board game cupboard and were able to try a few new games. TVs and game system were noticed, but we did not turn any of them on. It is a property we would recommend to others and will be looking to revisit in the future.

The cottage was very clean, check in was simple and stress free. There was a small issue when we arrived, but the host was very responsive and got back to me immediately. The kitchen is extremely well stocked, I was impressed. The space is family friendly. The beach was mostly all rocks and there were a lot of dead fish, so we didnt spend any time there, but obviously dead fish are not the host's fault. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. We would definitely come back and would recommend to others as well!

Well appointed private cottage and wonderful outdoor fire pit. Gas BBQ was old and quite dirty, we had to clean it up to be able to use. As well, outdoor furniture needed to be cleaned. They should also indicate that you need your own account log in for Netflix or Prime and cable not available. (We enjoy watching sports)

This was our second year staying at this cozy cottage, and it won't be our last! We love it. The owner is quick to answer, the the cottage description is spot on! It was spotless when we arrived. It's was chilly and rainy for our stay, but this cottage is well equipped for family fun in any weather. If a worry free cottage is what your looking for, look no further! We are already planning for next year and more memories!

Cottage at 552 Attawandaron Road Point Clark

The kitchen is really well equipped with lots of cutlery, dishes, plastic ones too. Lots of space for several people to work in at the same time. The location is secluded, off the road a bit with space to sit around a firepit. The master ensuite is spacious. The livingroom has comfortable couches. Although we didn't use them, a large variety of games are provided as well as DVDs. Lovely towels provided for renters. The house was spotless, very clean. Any questions I had were immediately responded to by the owners. Many thanks to the owners for the comfortable cottage.

Our family really enjoyed our little getaway and the cottage was perfect for us. It was secluded, quiet, and clean. It had a rustic feel outside, and a newer updated feel inside. The cottage was supplied with a lot of little things that you might not think to bring, but were readily available for use.

The cottage was clean and the area around is very nice. We liked the little private beach, nice to watch sunsets from there! And the public beach is very close by car. The cottage was fine. But for the price we paid I would expect better quality of mattresses and sheets (amazons basics polyester sheets are not ideal). We contacted the host upon arrival just to say that everything was fine (via text message), but received no response. Since we did not have any issues, it was fine not to receive a reply, but would be better for our message to be acknowledged.

Great spot for a relaxing long weekend with family

This was a great spot for a family of four and a couple of grandparents for a long weekend! It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the front deck and a few board games. It is really close to the beach to watch stunning sunsets and to the Point Clark lighthouse beach too! The host was very responsive, which is a bonus!

Lovely spot

Point Clark is about 1k away and has a sandy beach with easy access to the lake which was important to us because my mom is in her 80's. There is a much closer beach which would be perfect for most people however, for my mom it was too rocky. The neighbourhood is very quiet. The cottage is extremely well stocked. We would certainly go back.

Our stay was great, the location is perfect! There were two issues, a small blood stain and other minor stains on the bedsheet on the master bed, and the top oven hadn't been cleaned and started smoking when were preheating it. This did not stop us having a wonderful time. Communication with Jessica was fast and professional.
