We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage! It was incredibly clean and had everything we could possibly need — the owners truly thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable. One of the loveliest surprises was the homemade banana bread waiting for us when we arrived — such a thoughtful touch!The view of the water was absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. We spent every evening soaking in the peaceful scenery and couldn’t believe how relaxing it was. This place is a true gem.

A Little Slice of Heaven

We had an incredibly relaxing long weekend thanks to the location and comfort of the cottage. The cottage is so cute and stocked with everything you need and more. The deck is a perfect place to unwind. The area is quiet and seems remote, but wineries, restaurants, golf, and a market are close by. We can’t wait to visit again next year!

Wonderful Cottage, Great location

Upon our arrival it was clear this cottage is well taken care of. Everything was spotlessly clean, lots of amenities and even a personal greeting sign. Paula was always available to answer any questions we had, which were quite limited as everything is very easy to find/use. The wineries in the area were fantastic, we particularly enjoyed North 42 and Viewpointe. The people nearby were also very friendly, we met a couple of locals and had some great conversations about the area, specifically the fishing. All of this along with some great restaurants in the town, made for an unforgettable experience. We are already planning our trip back, 5 stars because that's the maximum i can give.

We loved the location, the sunsets were amazing for all 3 evenings. We celebrated two milestones, my partner making it to his 70th year on this planet and the final payment on our mortgage. Life is Good. We had everything we needed at the cottage, we didn't get to cook as we were too busy taking in all the offerings of the area and needed a couple more nights to just BE in the space. We would consider staying here again.

The perfect getaway!!

They thought of absolutely everything!! The view is A. The cottage is the cutest thing we’ve booked in a very long time. There was so much to do in this area whether you wanted to hop in the car and explore or sit on the beautiful deck at the cottage and dream away the day while looking at the gorgeous view! The cottage is quaint but it offered all we needed to make our holiday a success. We will not forget the memories made at The Hideaway

This cottage is small, but it has ample space for everything you could ever need. Its very comfortable, the yard is reall nice, the lake view is right there and the cottage has those small things like condiments, coffee, etc.. all the stuff you hate to go buy for a one or two time use. Its wonderful and the host is on it. Right from check in to check out. Very responsive.I hope this helps others. Wed stay again, no problem.

All as described by host and more. Small touches added to our experience (chocolates, Baklava, adding to my waist). The only problem was VRBO sending us some wrong info, but Host was on it pronto. Very nice experience and stay. Thanks

Anniversary Getaway

This Hideaway was absolutely perfect for us on our anniversary. The cottage has everything one could ask for or need. So quiet and serene especially sitting out front and looking out onto Lake Erie. Paula and Jim have quite the gem here and were always reachable. Walking distance to Colchester beach, restaurants and wineries. Had a few flights at The Crew winery, very delicious! Bikes are provided to reach those other wineries that are just out of walking distance. Great, friendly neighbours that were more than happy to suggest any points of interest. This cottage is 100 out of 100 for us, can't wait to come back. A+++ Thank you very much!

About the host

Hosted by Paula Stenger

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for 34 years. We have two adult sons. We live in beautiful Kingsville. My husband owns a plumbing company and I have worked for the Catholic school board for the past 36 years. My husband and I love attending music festivals and outdoor events. We love fine dining and touring the area to sample wine and beer while listening to local talent, golfing and going to sporting events. When not doing that we hang out at our home swimming and tending to our two dogs.

Why they chose this property

I moved to Kingsville Ontario from London England when I was 7. As a child I grew up along the shores of Lake Erie. My heart has always been in the area and I love the peacefulness of the lake. I have always dreamed of having just a simple little place on Lake Erie, where I could go and just escape. I often rent cottages along the Lake Erie shore and do wine tours with my girlfriends. The area is just so wonderful. I was having breakfast at Garfield’s with a friend. It was a beautiful fall day. I just noticed a for sale sign at the end of the road. I decided what the heck. Let’s go look. I fell in love with the place the minute I saw it. It was perfect for what we were looking for. A quite little place on the water. I love sitting inside with the Windows open and the breeze coming off the lake. I’m very excited to enjoy the outside. We plan on doing some extra things in the spring to make it more enjoyable. This place is perfect for a romantic getaway or for a single person who just wants to come and relax with all the comforts. My husband and I like to call our place the hideaway. We both love to host and entertain. We are so very excited to share our little hideaway with others.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located to everything in the area! The location really is perfect!
