Beautiful Weekend Getaway
The rental was very clean and well maintained. Perfect for our family of five! The owners had thought of everything to make it a pleasant stay. The closeness of the park and marina was a massive plus for our family.y son and husband caught many fish off.the pier. We also visited the restaurant right by the marina.. The view from the house was beautiful! We want to return in the warmer.months!! Thank you for the great communication that the owner had!!! 5 star!!
We love this clean bright cottage. My daughter and grandchild come with me for a four day “girl’s weekend”. This year we also went to the Pelee National park and Harrow Fair while we were there. My grandma child is now 5 and it’s our third year. There is a beach and splash pad and climber within a short walk. A cafe for the adults. And restaurant and ice cream near the park. The first two years we did not go anywhere as we had everything we needed. Adding day trips this year is just a bonus. The beds are comfy and we spend evenings watching movies. It’s the perfect cottage for us.

A Great Getaway Destination
This is a quaint, "clean" and hospitable cottage to enjoy a getaway in a quiet neighborhood with a Lake Erie view. A great choice rather than a hotel/ motel scene with abundant indoor and outdoor space. All amenities you need would need are there. Dinese is a great host. Try it out!

Awesome get away
We came up for the eclipse and had a peaceful time in the cabin. It was great to let the kids walk down to the beach and playground while I sat on the couch and read. Great restaurants near the cabin. Would stay here again.
First of all Denise and Jeff responded to any questions and went well out of their way to the two night stay exceptional. They have thought of everything and all the amenities looked and felt new. Fabulous hosts.

Beautiful Property, Fully Stocked, has everything you need!
We loved our stay so much, my 7 year old daughter loved the beach and the park with the splash pad. Such a beautiful area, very quiet and very clean! I was honestly surprised with how well stocked the cabin was, they even had a Bluetooth speaker to play music as well as an outside leash to put your dog on. They have everything here that you would need, we really enjoyed the outdoor covered canopy and the fire pit. The hosts were very responsive and even checked in to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We will definitely be back!

A little get away with two of our grandchildren and this cottage checked off all our boxes. Clean, roomy, very well equipped kitchen. Lovely front deck with a view of the lake and a great sitting area in back complete with a fire pit. Very short walk to park, splash pad and beach and restaurants. The experience was even made better by our attentive and kind hosts Denise and Jeff. Looking forward to our next stay
