It really is a piece of Lake Erie paradise. This was the second year there and it just gets better and better. Wonderful beach and water in the sun, and an amazing view of the stars around the bonfire. Saw lots of fireflies this year, and some amazing storms cross the lake at night with the lightning reflecting off the water. The cottage feels like home and a secret, special getaway all at the same time. Lovely light and cross breezes coming in, views of the lake, and every amenity you could want, plus the most comfortable beds. Point Pelee is so close - 15 minute drive, that it’s easy to fit in a trip to one of the most unique national parks. The boardwalk and swallows, kayaking through the marsh and ponds, and walking out the to most southern point of mainland Canada - loved getting to see it again. And Taylor’s Fish Truck for fresh caught dinner is becoming a tradition. I don’t think words or photos can do it justice. There’s a feeling there that’s so special and we’re grateful to have been able to enjoy it. The hosts certainly are a big part of that - warm and welcoming, easy to reach and talk to. Thank you again for opening your home and sharing it. It’s created so many lifelong memories for us of summer times spent with loved ones.

A lovely cottage for our family of 3. Waves, swimming, playing in the sand, eating around the fire made for lots of wonderful days. The communication with the owners was exceptional.

The cottage was amazing and located right on Lake Erie. Beautiful views. Kitchen had everything we needed. Convenient check in and easy communication with owner. I wish we’d had more time to stay!

A lovely weekend at a lovely cottage for a family of 3. The 7 yr old played for hours on the beach even though the weather was wet and cool. He loved it. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and had a lovely deck with a view of the lake. All in all, a wonderful fall weekend at the beach.

A picture is worth a thousand words but this is one of those special places that can’t be explained by even pictures. The feeling of the breeze, sound of the waves, the smell of summer air, the glow at sunrise and sunset, the sparkle of the sky at night. It took me back to the best moments of my childhood summers. The hosts love and take pride in their home, and you can sense that immediately. Everything is perfectly taken care of and you have everything you could want. It’s all put together in that beautiful, simple, efficient way that comes from years of living in a space and fine tuning it for the best experience. One interesting surprise was actually connected to the one question we had in our minds - no air conditioning? We had temperatures in the mid-30’s to low 40’s the whole week and we like having a cool space, especially to sleep, and the cottage was always comfortable. The bedrooms have amazing cross ventilation, and each one has a ceiling fan if you wanted a bit extra. In the living areas there’s ventilation and they had two strong fans available as well. Our surprise came when we realized that no air conditioning meant both the windows were open and here was no a/c hum. Fell asleep to the sound of waves, rustling leaves, crickets, cicadas, and katydids, then woke of to the sound of the lake and birds. Pure summer in those moments. The beach is great - sand, lots of space, and clean. The fire pit is great - leftover fish and chips are amazing heated up over a bonfire and Taylor’s Fish Truck is minutes away. They left clear and complete notes about the household stuff you don’t think of but that’s different every place such as the tv, cable, internet, garbage days, etc. The kitchen has everything you could need, it’s clean and well taken care of. Linens were clean and there was everything you could need. The mattresses and pillows were good quality and very comfortable. The bathroom has a lot of counter space, water temperature and pressure are good, and it’s a tub/shower combination. We never used the fireplace but I can only imagine how wonderful it would be. This is that one friend’s cottage that everyone crosses their fingers they’ll be invited to. The best spot on the lake, with a beach, gorgeous views, the little luxuries like a fireplace for cozy movie nights, plus beautifully decorated and appointed. A beautiful, magical place.

We loved our family stay here! The cute cottage is stocked with everything you might need (toilet paper, dish soap, even sunscreen, bug spray and some toiletries)! We didn't receive the entry code ahead of time but luckily Julie answered the phone right away so we could gain access when we arrived. We were there on during a heat wave, though, so it was HOT. Thank goodness for the awesome lake & beach literally steps away from the deck. Word has it that A/C is being installed very soon which would be a fantastic improvement. The cottage has a cream carpet (even in dining area) that was difficult to keep clean with children but we did what we could. Bedrooms have ceiling fans which were helpful for sleeping. Bath tub was slippery (one child had a fall in the shower) so recommend a grippy bath-mat. The large lawn was wonderful for kids to play. We hope to return to this gem of a spot!

The cottage was perfect for our family of 5. There is a large grassy area before you get to the beach where we played lots of sports and enjoyed a fire every night (except the Maple Leafs insignia on the fire pit, lol, we are from Montreal ;-). The beach area is great with a large area to play in the sand. The cottage had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The only thing I can think of that would be great is a couple of life jackets as the water gets deep quickly (we borrowed from our neighbours). I was worried as we are used to AC but the ceiling fans and the breeze from the beach were more than sufficient. Doug and Julie were great with communication the whole way through. Oh and we had the best fish and chips (and tartar sauce) we have ever had at Taylor's Fish & Chips, just down the street.

We would definitely return.

The place is very beautiful and the house is very clean

our first experience renting a cottage, for our weekend and seeing the lake. wonderful place. I highly recommend and we plan to return
