Great stay!
We had a great stay overall! The location was fantastic, right on the water, and just a short drive from the provincial park, which was a big plus. The only downside was the number of spiders around the property. It may have been due to the time of year, but there were webs covering the outdoor furniture, making it unusable. Although the interior was clean upon arrival, we did notice a considerable number of spiders inside as well. Despite this, we would still recommend the property!

Relaxing stay by the lake.
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.

Gorgeous location and outside space …
Three seniors visited for the Friday the 13th events in Port Dover. We were extremely pleased and happy with our find. As the sun began to set, however, we became aware of just how poor the lighting was inside; not only in the living room but two bedrooms as well. Also, when it came time for dinner, the oven wasn’t working. To top it off, there was no cell service. It was a shame, but we had to cut our stay short.

Lovely Vacation
I recently stayed here with my family and our dog, and we had an excellent experience. The cottage itself is beautifully designed and incredibly clean. What truly stood out was the outstanding attention to detail. The owners provided all the essentials and even added thoughtful touches like binoculars, a variety of games, and a parking pass to the nearby provincial park. Communication with the hosts was quick and friendly, ensuring we felt welcome and well-informed throughout our stay. The only downside was that the water was filled with algae, which unfortunately prevented us from swimming. However, this was beyond the owners’ control and did not significantly dampen the experience. Overall, I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to enjoy a cottage with fantastic views and excellent host support. Our family and dog had a wonderful time!

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.

Pleasant getaway
Took a 2 day getaway just to recharge and it was great! Rebecca was a great host easy to communicate with and helped with all inquiries. Cottage is cute and clean! To fault of Mother Nature the lake had a bit of a seaweed build up. However I was able to create a plank at the shoreline with wood supplied to accommodate the issue so my pup and I were able to enjoy warm water swimming! Would definitely stay again.
