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.

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.
