This is our eighth time renting this cottage and it was wonderful as always. It's very close to Point Pelee which is the main draw for us. It has a large clean beach and nice fire pit.

This was a return visit for us and it did not disappoint. We were feeling right at home as soon as we walked in. The weather was awesome....we had a lovely campfire....great meals...pleasant strolls and many laughs. The beach/lake was so relaxing to read beside and watch the fishing boats come and go. Hope to go again next year!!

Nice cottage with beautiful view of the lake. Weather wasn't great but lots of games and puzzles. Amenities included said laundry. There was no laundry in the cottage. You have to drive into town to a laundromat.

We came for the birding at nearby Point Pelee and Hillman Marsh. The cottage was a joy, with beautiful views and a comfortable, cozy feeling. The kitchen was very well-equipped although, after 9 hours of walking in the woods, we decided to bring home take-out from an amazing Fish and Chips place just up the road. It is clearly a family cottage but everything was clean and welcoming for visitors. It felt like staying with a friend!
