We had a great stay at the cottage - it was super clean and provided everything needed for our stay with many small details such as extensive bathroom toiletries, an extremely well stocked kitchen, a binder with lots of information about the area and some snacks to enjoy. As this was my first booking with VRBO I was happy that the pictures in the posting were a true reflection of the cottage. I would definitely recommend this property. Lisa, the host, was great at communicating on the app.

Leamington Getaway

Accommodation for Bird Watching at Point Pelee and Hillman Marsh

The Bird's Nest cottage was an ideal location for our 4-day bird-watching trip to Point Pelee National Park and the nearby Hillman Marsh thanks to its proximity to both sites. The cottage is located in a quiet neighborhood a five minutes walk from the Hillman Beach. Everything we needed to make our breakfasts and lunches was available in the well-appointed kitchen; a variety of dinner options was available in nearby Leamington. The cottage comes with a season pass to the Park for the use of (and a substantial saving for) guests.

Great place with great location if you fish, great host

We reserved the room for 2 days for a short fishing trip. It was too rough to fish and Lisa got the place cleaned up as soon as possible so we could check in early. House was nicer than expected, clean and updated. Some nice touches like snacks were left for us. It has a nice gazebo in the back and a nice from porch I stood on watching a large storm roll in. I would highly recommend this home.

Stay at Bird's Nest Cottage

Had a lovely 3 night stay at Bird's Nest. Lisa went the extra mile leaving snacks and bottled water which was appreciated. The cottage is lovely inside, lots of room for the two of us. We went biking at Pt Pelee (Lisa left a free pass!), and biked along part of the Chrysler Greenway, golfed nearby and hit a few wineries. Great location, close to everything. Also took advantage of the bbq and firepit. Great trip. Thanks Lisa

Bird’s Nest — A Little Gem by the Lake

We stayed at the Bird’s Nest for a week and it was perfect! The cottage was very clean, cozy and cute, equipped with everything we needed and then some. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch or having our meals in the gazebo on the back deck. The location is great, too: there is a good sandy beach a 3-minute walk away. Leamington and Pelee Point National Park are about a 15-minute drive and the Park was very nice for riding a bike or just visiting. On the other side, there is Wheatley, with a great ice cream place (i Screams) and a couple of other stores. Overall, we had a wonderful time and we highly recommend the place.

We were happy to be back at The Bird’s Nest!

For a second year in a row, we chose Bird’s Nest at Hillman Marsh. Conveniently located near the town of Leamington, this delightful little cottage offers a charming escape and is the perfect oasis for relaxation. The cottage is impeccably maintained. The spacious and cozy living area has a comfortable couch and chairs, TV, DVDs, and board games for entertainment. The kitchen, fully equipped with all the essentials, a gas BBQ on the side deck allow for easy meal preparation and the gazebo offers a lovely spot to enjoy meals. The bedroom is a good size and comfortable, which ensures a good night's sleep. Located conveniently near Leamington, Wheatley, and the Point Pelee National Park, the cottage offers easy access to local shops, restaurants, and scenic walks. You may want to bring some cash with you as some fruit stands and even Taylor Fish Restaurant (yellow perch was delicious) accept cash only. The host is exceptionally accommodating, providing clear instructions and thoughtful touches that make the stay truly special. Having a pass to the Pelee Point Park was especially appreciated! This cottage is a gem, perfect for a peaceful retreat.

Nice anniversary getaway

My partner and I were looking for a place to spend the weekend for our anniversary, and amongst payment issues and schedule changes, Lisa was incredible. She was flexible, accommodating, and lovely to communicate with. Now maybe we should have done some more research on the area, because it was quite buggy (we picked the wrong time of year), but other than that we had no complaints at all! Very close to a beautiful beach and a quick drive to groceries, restaurants, and hiking. We would definitely recommend staying here if you like no fuss comfortable accommodations.

If you are escaping the city, this cute cottage is the place to go. Lisa goes above and beyond as a host. The place is nicely kept and great for a family to chill for a weekend. I endorse this as a great place to unwind from a tough work week.

Great little gem

The Birds Nest is a lovely little cottage that is immaculate, well maintained and well equipped with pretty much anything you'd need to enjoy your stay. At this time of year (Labour Day weekend) the birds, crickets and frogs singing provided the most amazing soundtrack for relaxing and sleeping!
