A wonderful sister’s trip

What a beautiful place this is to visit. The house was charmingly decorated and clean. Tracey communicated with us regularly though we had no issues. The view of the lake from the deck and hot tub was enjoyable and check out was a breeze. We will definitely be back next summer.

Relaxing getaway

My family and I had an amazing time at this beautiful cottage it was super clean, very nicely decorated And had everything you could possibly need right there. Location was great for biking to the nearby wineries and to the local beach. We loved having morning coffee on the deck with the lake view and relaxing in the hot tub at night. The host was very helpful answering questions and with recommendations. We would definitely say here again.

A wonderful escape

Tracey’s home was absolutely wonderful to stay at and I would definitely visit again! Her home was completely stocked with everything you need to have a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Tracey was easy to reach and clearly communicated all instructions for checking in and using different equipment at the home. I would recommend to anyone looking for an escape in Essex wine country.

Perfect Girl's Weekend

The four of us loved this cute three bedroom cottage on Lake Erie! The house was updated and super clean. Everything was awesome and we enjoyed the inside and outside areas of the house. The hot tub was amazing in the morning while we drank coffee. The wineries were so close and we biked to five of them! CREW, North 42, Viewpoint, Oxley and Paglione. We also visited Cooper's Hawk (not the US chain) and VIN (not on our bikes). We loved them all!

Loved it!

It was a cozy little place. My 2 children enjoyed setting their rooms up when we got there with their goodies and toys. Loved making dinner and breakfast for my family while there. We went to many surrounding places. I told my husband we are going back in the Fall. He said we'll see lol! :( Thanks Tracey!

Excellent Getaway!

We were looking for a place to stay nearby a wedding venue. Our only desires were proximity and a hot tub… once we saw the pics of Wine Down by the Lake, we were sold! The location is nestled with other cottages, but the property is private with a fire pit and hot tub off the back deck. The interior of the cottage is completely modern with all the conveniences you could ask for. Our GPS was a little off as far as the location on the road, but each cottage has large address numbers so no issue finding the correct one. We are already talking about coming back when we don’t have a wedding and we can just lounge and enjoy the cottage! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Colchester and Essex County Wineries

This property was perfect for my husband and I, and 4 of our adult children. The cottage accomodates 6 adults quite comfortably, is very clean and up to date. The view of the lake from the deck is beautiful. The proximity to area wineries makes it quite easy to explore and enjoy. Tracey was an excellent host.
