Thank you, Erin! We were so happy you and the family enjoyed your stay on Lake Erie. You’re welcome back any time!
This was a great spot for myself, my husband, our 10 year old and our family dog. The backyard offered amazing views and helpful amenities. The cottage itself included everything we needed for our weeklong stay. The hosts were helpful, friendly and responsive. Definitely would recommend!

Thank you for the glowing review. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed and would love to host you again!
The lake house is a super cozy spot that has everything you need to spend a few days of rest and relaxation. Ideal for meditating by the lake or simply enjoying the surroundings.
Cute little cottage by the lake. Nice accommodations, great large back yard, beautiful view of the lake, and access to the water directly from the cottage. We had a fun and relaxing time. Great place for paddleboarding, and there's a provincial park nearby which the hosts have provided a pass for. Great stay.

Leif - you were so fabulous! I hope to see your painting soon!
September 2025We had a quick 2 day getaway at this wonderful gem. Spectacular lake view. Cottage was clean and well equipped. We loved the wall of lake facing sliding glass doors which kept the open living space airy and bright. I had the advantage of sliding glass doors from my bedroom to the deck as well. In addition the the full length walk out deck is an additional dining deck. Nice sized grassy yard and lake access were also enjoyed.Check in was easy and hosts were prompt and friendly.We'll definitely return.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We were happy to hear you enjoyed and can’t wait to see you again!
My husband and I came for a weekend getaway. The property was exactly as described and depicted with a beautiful view of the lake. We were there in the winter so I cannot speak to the summertime activities. We enjoyed the indoor gas fireplace and even the outdoor gas fire pit.
Such a lovely, tranquil place to stay. My sister and I stayed for one night and we both agreed it is the cleanest place we have ever rented. Would definitely return. Thanks!
Beautiful cottage right on Lake Erie. It would be really nice if you had more pegs to hang clothes on the walls as you have no closets. Also a little stool or shelf in the toilet room would be nice for toiletry kits.Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.
Everything was perfect. The cottage was so peaceful listening to the waves coming in and sitting by the fireplace. Rebecca was an amazing host. Thanks again!!
Loved the property. Had a very relaxing time off. Lake water in the backyard wasn’t deep, kids walked around where there was no sea weed. Would love to go back again… hopefully next year. Rebecca was cool!!!

Had the most wonderful and relaxing time. The house was clean and beautifully decorated, very welcoming. Then there’s the view! Stunning! Mattresses and sheets were very comfortable and had the best sleep listening to the light laps of the lake. My friend and I wanted a little getaway to unwind and rejuvenate and this was the perfect place. Our hosts were most welcoming and we appreciated their kindness. Can’t wait to come back for another stress free weekend.
