This is an excellent place to stay. The kids basically had a private beach for the day. The house is clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that the needs are terribly hot due to the plastic mattress covers and polyester sheets. We came here last year and are already looking forward to our next stay.

Leah, thanks for coming back, (and planning to come back again), and for your lovely 5 star review. Your comment about the sheets is appreciated. They should be relegated to back ups. Sounds like you had good weather! Glad the kids enjoyed themselves.

Wonderful cottage on Lake Erie. Cottage was clean, great amenities, nice patio right on the beach. Parking is a little ways away, but we used a supply wagon to bring in luggage and shopping and it worked well.

Victoria, thank you for the great review. Believe it or not, that is the best parking place we've ever had! Since we're on the beach, no spot is super-convenient. Geeat idea about the wagon.

This is a lovely cottage in a gated community. It is on the lake with direct beach access. The appliances, cupboards, sinks, counters, bathrooms, and flooring are new and high quality. While there was an adequate number of beds to sleep 8, the rooms are small and beds are against the walls. The beds were comfortable and furniture nice. The porch was beautiful.

Thank you Serena for your 5 star review! We aim to serve up a clean, comfortable cottage with beautiful views. Hoping the sleeping quarters were ok! We placed a queen and a twin in two of the rooms (which makes them tight) to offer options for guests.

The house and the views are amazing! Can't ask for a better place to watch the sunset. Property was clean and they have everything you need. Owner was attentive to our needs and responsive when we needed something. I would definitely stay here again. The only issue was the parking is far from the place, just bring luggage and coolers on wheels and all is good. It's worth the walk!
