Great place to sit or swim and enjoy the view from our large private beach
Location: Colchester, Ontario, Canada (About 20 miles South of Windsor, Ontario (& Detroit,MI)) View Map
Accommodations: Home, 4 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
Our home is a new custom-built vacation home, set on the North Shore of Lake Erie. It includes a private sandy beach that is excellent for swimming. We added a new beach deck for you parents (anyone!) to sit near the water. A three season raised balcony assures a protected and peaceful view of the lake at all times. The design inside and out is traditional Cape Cod with nautical marine accessories to add to this coastal theme.
Please, no pets or smoking allowed.
Did I mention the view!?! You can view the lake from two sides (large window views) of the home as well as from the master bedroom. This view is always changing with the islands off-shore and ships passing by. The layout is open with the kitchen, dining area and living area open to the lake view. At night a fireplace adds warmth to any gathering of friends and family. This is a non-smoking home which should assure that you enjoy the fresh lake breezes.
Less than two miles away is Holiday Beach Provincial Park, that is a key migration stop for migrating hawks, great place for a hike or picnic. There are many more things to do! Contact us for more pictures and information!
