About this property

The Hideaway- Lake view Cottage In Wine Country

This cottage is nestled along the shores of Lake Erie in a small quite cottage community, right in the heart of epic wine Country. This cottage is perfect for a single person or a couple travelling to the area. Offers a beautiful view of Lake Erie, nice treed lot with firepit and hammock. Bikes for your enjoyment, if you wish to bike along the shore to wineries, beach, and local produce stands. The cottage is centrally located between Historical Amherstburg, beautiful Kingsville and Point Pelee National Park. There is so much to explore in the region. Fine dining, golf, bird watching, casino and so much more. Not wanting to tour around no problem, stay back and enjoy the many amenities that the cottage has to offer. Sit on the beautiful large deck to eat, have coffee, read whatever your pleasure maybe. Relax in the large treeed lot or play some yard games, hang out in the hammocks, great place for a nap while listening to lake. Many beautiful birds and if you are lucky you will see some amazing bald eagles. Nothing like ending your day sipping your favorite beverage by camp fire, not into building a fire. No problem sit lakeside and enjoy the fire table, best place to see the sunset over Lake Erie. The best part is retiring for the night with the windows open enjoy being lulled to sleep with the crashing of the waves and the beautiful lake breeze. It doesn’t matter where you are inside the cottage you will have an amazing view! Looking for a true cottage experience then this is it.

The cottage is cozy but very well appointed. The dishes and cutlery were of prime quality compared to others we have experienced. We didn't use the bikes because we brought our own. The bbq worked well but we didn't use the tv or the stove. The kitchen was comprehensively equipped. It was well located and very quiet. The host was attentive, patient and helpful. It is within easy biking distance of two wineries.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage! It was incredibly clean and had everything we could possibly need — the owners truly thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable. One of the loveliest surprises was the homemade banana bread waiting for us when we arrived — such a thoughtful touch!The view of the water was absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. We spent every evening soaking in the peaceful scenery and couldn’t believe how relaxing it was. This place is a true gem.

A true little hideaway

We loved our stay at this quaint but quality and charming retreat cottage. The location and surrounding attractions are particularly great for wine enthusiasts but equally great to just kick back and decompress while looking over the beeezy Lake Erie or taking a 10 minute stroll up the road to the lavender fields and endless vineyards.

About the host

Hosted by Paula Stenger

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for 34 years. We have two adult sons. We live in beautiful Kingsville. My husband owns a plumbing company and I have worked for the Catholic school board for the past 36 years. My husband and I love attending music festivals and outdoor events. We love fine dining and touring the area to sample wine and beer while listening to local talent, golfing and going to sporting events. When not doing that we hang out at our home swimming and tending to our two dogs.

Why they chose this property

I moved to Kingsville Ontario from London England when I was 7. As a child I grew up along the shores of Lake Erie. My heart has always been in the area and I love the peacefulness of the lake. I have always dreamed of having just a simple little place on Lake Erie, where I could go and just escape. I often rent cottages along the Lake Erie shore and do wine tours with my girlfriends. The area is just so wonderful. I was having breakfast at Garfield’s with a friend. It was a beautiful fall day. I just noticed a for sale sign at the end of the road. I decided what the heck. Let’s go look. I fell in love with the place the minute I saw it. It was perfect for what we were looking for. A quite little place on the water. I love sitting inside with the Windows open and the breeze coming off the lake. I’m very excited to enjoy the outside. We plan on doing some extra things in the spring to make it more enjoyable. This place is perfect for a romantic getaway or for a single person who just wants to come and relax with all the comforts. My husband and I like to call our place the hideaway. We both love to host and entertain. We are so very excited to share our little hideaway with others.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located to everything in the area! The location really is perfect!
