Nice quiet place to stay, very comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen. But shelves, hangers and/or drawers missing in bedrooms, we had to leave our clothes in luggages, not very practical.

Perfect location for birding

Pointe Pelee is 10 km away, and a pass is included. The property is at the end of the road, next to the lake and the marsh. Lots of windows and deck space. Comfortable seating. Views of both sunrise and sunset.

This was our second time staying here, and while it was a different experience since we went weeks earlier than before, we LOVED it again! The deck and views are simply SPECTACULAR and is the reason we will come back yet again in the future (though the landscape is changing due to climate change - a couple trees were washed away just from a year ago!) While we didn’t see many new birds this time, we were crazy lucky to have watched 9 trumpeter swans call the marsh their home during our whole stay! The included Pelee pass is also so convenient, as we went in and out with ease all week. We cooked at the cottage this time around, and the grill and appliances all worked great (but we do recommend Moonlight Grill, Gingerbread House, and Joey’s Seafood restaurants!) Remember to bring your own side tables for sleeping if you need them like us, and there’s nothing but salt and pepper to cook with in case you’re making up a grocery list! Other than that, sit back and enjoy the breathtaking scenery!

This property is definitely a 5 star worth. Anything what is in the listing is there plus more. The view, birds and the outdoor porch gives you definitely things to see anytime of the day. Close drive to the national and provincial parks.

Spectacular Location, Peaceful Break

This cottage was perfect for our stay with two teens. The 300 degree views of the water are simply spectacular- like nothing I’ve ever seen. We loved checking out the birds, the lake and exploring Point Pelee National Park. Also super drivable to other local gems like wineries and markets. We’ll definitely be back!

Excellent property!

The location of this property was superb. Out one window we could watch the sun rise & out another the sun setting. The porch on three sides of the house had fantastic views of Lake Erie & the Hillman marsh conservation area. Lots of bird viewing from the porch! Would definitely like to stay here again!

Breathtaking views

Really enjoyed my stay. The property is the last one on the road surrounded by Lake Erie to the east and a wetland to the west. The deck wraps around the house. Enjoyed both amazing sunrises and sunsets. Loved falling asleep to the sounds of crashing waves. The only knock were the flies and mosquitoes but that's part of being in nature. Note bring a sweater as it's always cooler by the lake

Best VRBO we have ever stayed in

Words cannot describe the beauty of this place. Exceptionally well decorated but not cluttered, in the best location imaginable. Right on the lake surrounded by water on three sides, birds, galore, extremely clean. Yes it is a bit small but that’s part of the point of it. If it were large, you wouldn’t get a few from every single room, nor would it be as special. This is the most exceptional place. Don’t hesitate to you will love every moment. Also, the owner is very responsive and generous.

I'm coming Back!

From the moment I booked to the moment I arrived, with my best friend, my first VRBO experience as spectacular. Our host was the best and answered all my questions. The cottage is everything and more, Eagles, Egrets, Herons, Garnets, Sunsets, Sunrises, I'm totally coming back. My only comment would be to upgrade the utensils and kitchen pots & pans. Thank you so much!

Beautiful site, great views, convenient

Beautiful location, great views. Clean. Very convenient to Pt Pelee. Overall fine, but a few thing need addressing... Lites need to be labeled because it was unclear which switches turned on which lites, inside and outside. Kitchen did not have any condiments other than salt and pepper. Hair Dryer was missing, although when we asked, owner said he would bring one. (not helpful when you need one 10pm.) Beds so so, bedrooms were tiny, no room to move around at all, no where to put suitcases. Tiny side table in bedrooms would be helpful. Big step between kitchen and dining room so if you are not careful you could break your neck. We also didn't like the fact that many bird watchers were driving and parking in front of the house all day because this location is good for bird watching.
