The picture shows a blue cottage - this is the upper level where the host lives. The rental is actually on the lower level. Not a problem BUT many stairs. As my husband has been recovering from a broken knee this was not ideal. However, the cottage is very clean, you have a full kitchen, hottub, and BBQ. The town is very friendly and there are theatre shows and musical events. Lovely bookstore and library.

This is a wonderful property with a fantastic host. If you are like looking for a peaceful retreat with a hot tub, king bed, and a fantastic view of one of the Great Lakes, this is the property for you. I challenge you to find a these amenities at this price point in Ontario or Michigan. BTW, if you have never been to Port Stanley, it is an idyllic beach town that seems like something you would see in a movie.

A slice of Canadian heaven

My wife and I ventured up from the US to stay here for a local music festival. This place was BEYOND perfect; you can pretty much walk anywhere, the view is nothing short of a dream. Our host was LOVELY and made us feel welcomed to Canada. Would stay again in a heartbeat!!

Frances is absolutely an amazing host! We visited Port Stanley for a 2-day getaway trip and the town was absolutely lovely! It’s a charming port town with clean calm beaches and friendly people! The space has every amenity you would need for a getaway: blankets for the couch outside and one to sit on the beach with, towels, a grill, a fire pit, a TV, and a hot tub (it was malfunctioning so it was only warm when we arrived but there was nothing Frances could do because it was Thanksgiving). Overall we had a great stay, thank you Frances!!

Frances is the sweetest and made sure all our needs were met. The space is so cozy and truly feels like a slice of paradise. You have a gorgeous view of the lake, and the space itself has a fire pit and a hot tub. The suite was nice, had a cute kitchen, bathroom, and big bed.
