This is the second time that we have stayed at this cottage and will return again next year. The cottage is spacious and well loved.
The owner was very quick to help and offer suggestions when we had issues.

We had an amazing couple nights stay here with some family and friends. The main living space is nice and open so with 7 of us we found we had tons of space. The photos in the listing don’t quite do it justice; this place is absolutely beautiful.

My family and I recently stayed at this incredible cottage, and I can't say enough good things about it! The lakefront location is just stunning—waking up to those serene water views every morning was such a treat. The property is well-maintained and offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and comfort.
The cottage itself was cozy and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the outdoor space was a dream—lots of room to lounge, barbecue, and enjoy the sunset. We spent our days on the lake, taking in the peaceful surroundings, and just soaking up the tranquility.
One of the highlights of our trip was visiting Point Pelee National Park, which is just a short drive away. The park is a must-see, with its beautiful trails and incredible bird-watching opportunities. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
Thank you so much to the owners for sharing your beautiful cottage with us. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We can't wait to come back!

Upon arrival, you could tell this was a much loved family cottage. We enjoy the open concept common area with cooling fans and many windows to view the lake. The beach was wonderful for beachcombing and relaxing. We all had a great time and are booked again for next year.

This place is so tranquil, just what I needed.
A visit to Point Pelee National Park is a must. There is so much to see and do. I am hoping to return for a week next year. Just a beautiful property in an amazing location.

Property was as advertised. Nice large beach as well as grassed area for activities. Although there were lots of beds/areas for sleeping the mattresses all need replacing. Two members of our party left early as they were unable to get a good night's sleep...felt like sleeping on a marshmallow.

The cottage is perfect for our family of 4 adults and 2 young children. We had a wonderful week indoors with family meals, board games, reading, conversation and a thunderstorm party as we watched a storm over the lake. Outdoors - we made sand structures on the beach, skipped stones, collected sea glass, played in big and small waves...and more. A lovely cottage inside and out. Peg and family.

Our second stay here and it always goes by so quickly. We love the cottage, drinks on the back porch in the evening…sunrise makes for picture perfect pictures and of course swimming and lounging on the beach enjoyed every moment. Lots of outings to some favourite spots we found last year- Freddy’s is one we always go to for food and of course lots of ice cream! Thank you so much Carl and Bev. We can’t wait for next year!!!

This is our second time at this cottage. If anyone wants to feel like homie and also get in soaked with the Mother Nature then this place is for you. Spotless, as always…well stocked inventories ….we wish we could stay there longer… overall it’s a pet friendly property so this place is quiet inclusive. Only this year internet was lil bit slow but after resetting the modem it was ok. We have only good things to talk about this property. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to create a beautiful memories at your property. Will visit there soon, not sure if it’s open in the Winter but this year we would love to experience our winter there if it opens around that time . Thank you to the owners again 🙂

Seven family members enjoyed the house, view and bonfire area. Comfortable for all of us. Visited nearby Point Pelee National Park. Trips to nearby Leamington provided nice dinning options, groceries and more. Thanks Carl and Beverly!

Beautiful water view, close to Point Pelee park.
However there were holes in the 2nd floor ceiling, signs of water damage when we were there.
We found bed bugs on the day bed.

We rented the cottage in October and it was a great experience. We had beautiful weather and were able to relax on the beach and the back deck. As it was off season, it was very quiet and we had the Sandy beach to ourselves. The cottage offered all the necessities available, kitchen is well stocked and the bed was comfortable. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Adorable cottage with everything you could need. Large yard to play games in or have a fire and s’mores at night.
Fantastic views of the lake, the beach just steps away. Unfortunately the water was very cold this week, this is not normal for Lake Erie.
Did have trouble accessing the cottage after shopping one day, but owner quickly resolved our issue.
Overall, a lovely cottage experience!

Absolutely perfect!
From the moment we walked in we were amazed by how perfect this cottage is! Lots of space for the four of us, loved seeing all the family pictures and memorabilia throughout the cottage it gave it such a homey feel. The deck leading to the beach made for many many many hours of swimming, castle building, beach glass hunting, family pictures and having drinks! Bonfires of the beach were a new favourite! Had many day trips to pelee national park,Freddy’s restaurant for lunch and ice cream were incredible. A family run business and all around so friendly! Taylor’s fish and chips made for a yummy afternoon lunch the fish couldn’t be fresher! Evenings were spent on the deck on the beach with a glass of wine or playing board games and morning sunrises we’re breathtaking! Carl and Beverly have definitely made this cottage a home away from home! We booked for next year before even leaving because my kids insisted this be our new family tradition! Thank you for a wonderful week!!
