Loved it!

What a great spot! And a beautiful house. And you had those things we didn’t bring, like salt & pepper, spices, a spatula, among so many others. Lots of games to choose from. The best part is across the street - sitting under the tree or in the lake with its vast sandbar. And a good strong hot shower after a day in the sun. Thank you.

Lakeside Retreat

We love the beaches at Lowbanks and it was so nice to be able to find such a beautiful cottage right by the lake that allowed dogs! We truly enjoyed our stay! Hippos was great for a quick snack as well it’s not even a 5 min walk from the cottage! :)

A Lovely Family Stay

The cottage was super clean, light and bright, with new clean sofas and chairs and lovely decor. It was well equipped with everything you would need. A big wrap around porch with lots of seating and cushions. Great beds and linens. The host and neighbours were very nice. We went berry picking, and my amateur Indiana Jones husband was super excited to find artifacts (just looking, never digging) in the back cornfield. Easy strolling with the baby along the lake. So a good time was had by all.

Family time at lakehouse

The property is nicely renovated with all the comforts of home and a well stocked kitchen. The beds and linen were comfy with lots of space for our family of 4. During our stay (Aug) the water was warm but the beach was quite rocky. The lake bottome is sandy once you get out from the shore. Hippos is a nice place to grab a bite and drink, just a few doors down. Our kids enjoyed seeing the horse and goats at the hobby farm (10 min walk). The road between the house and beach was somewhat busy during the day but quiet at night. Good star gazing if you get a clear evening. Was a fun week at the lake!

Delightful stay for the solar eclipse!

Lovely home in a lovely setting! This home is superbly refinished and wonderfully inviting. The owners clearly care about their home and the comfort of their guests, and are responsive and easy to communicate with. Plenty of towels, linens, and pillows. Basic shower necessities also provided (shampoo, etc.) No dishwasher, but this home is for vacation (no dish washing for me!), so we enjoyed many dinners out in the nearby towns. Lots of restaurants in Port Colborne, Dunnville, and on the way to Crystal Beach. I traveled here with my husband, two children (12 & 16), and mother-in-law (80) for the solar eclipse, and we were all very comfortable. We enjoyed a morning fossil hunting at Rock Point Provincial Park and the boys even braved the frigid water for a "polar plunge" following the solar eclipse. We enjoyed the evening in the adirondack chairs by the firepit on the beach. Magnificent sunsets and sunrises abound here. Quiet town. Gorgeous lake views. Enjoy! *For those who are wondering, the primary bathroom is located on the first floor along with two of the four bedrooms (a king and a twin). The other two bedrooms (a double and a queen) and a spacious half bath are located on the second floor.

Charming cottage with direct lakeside access

We had a lovely stay at the cottage here. The cottage itself was very modern and well-appointed. It was exactly as listed. The beach was a bit rocky up on the shoreline for swimming, but once you walked out about 10 feet, it became sand and was a nice wading height for an average adult. Hippos is a minute-walk away and it is a reasonable driving distance from downtown Dunnville, Port Maitland and Long Beach. We had a very peaceful stay and appreciated the quick and gentle communications of the owner. My only suggestion is that the towels provided were quite small, three just fit for my children, and there was only one extra toilet paper roll provided (for a group of 5 staying over 3 nights). Not sure if that was an oversight by the housekeeper, but it would be better not to worry about running out of TP. The neighbourhood is very tranquil and it's very easy to walk along North Shore road, by the lake. Every plot is private property though, so you're really only able to walk on the road and need to be careful of vehicle traffic. It's fine for adults, but with children you need to keep an eye on them. Overall, it was a very comfortable and relaxing stay. I would definitely recommend it, especially for adults and pets!!

Lakefront Holiday

My favorite parts of the cottage (really a house) 1) views of Lake Erie. Such a beautiful view especially in the mornings. Great front deck with comfy outdoor furniture. 2) layout of the house. 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedroom downstairs which was a perfect setup for us. 3) kitchen was fully equipped and my husband loved the grill. 4) comfortable beds with extra pillows and blankets. 5) hippos. Became one of our favorite spots. 6) location close to public beach access and Dunnville has grocery stores and restaurants. 7) host Devin was always available, responded quickly and check in process was super easy. Things that weren’t my favorite parts: 1) coffee machine wasn’t cleaned when we arrived. Not a huge deal…we just cleaned it. 2) bathroom setup. I was not a fan of the shower but we adapted. The glass door opened from the back so it was hard to turn the shower on without getting hit with ice cold water, floor was slippery (could use a bath mat - there could have been one that we didn’t see) and there was no seat or ledge so it was hard to wash legs and shave. 3) bugs…everywhere. Little natty bugs that got into the house. I think the side door needs a new liner (we never opened the back door at night) and we noticed a gap between the door and frame so we think the bugs got in that way. When we got up in the morning the ceiling would be covered in bugs. We ended up vacuuming them up every morning. So just be aware if you hate bugs.

We spent a wonderful week at this beautiful property. We enjoyed sitting down by the lake on our private beach, even on chilly days. There is something so calming about being close to a lake.

My family and I stayed at this cottage for a week and all agreed that after over 15 years of staying in the area for a week each year, this was one of our favorites. It was spacious, comfortable, clean, and had all the essentials for us for the week. The photos are beautiful but do not do it quite enough justice. We had a wonderful week.

Nice lakefront view!

This cottage is just as it looks in the photos, if not better! Very clean, and pleasantly decorated, with lots of space. Anything, and everything, you could need can be found if you look around a bit, These owners have thought of everything. And, Hippo's food truck just four doors down and across the road is a bonus. Great food and ice cream with a nice view of the lake. Less than an hour away is Port Dover, a great way to spend a day strolling and shopping. Only one downside...this particular area of the lake is quite rocky. However, if it's a sandy beach you're looking for a public beach is just 10 minutes down the road at Long Beach. Overall, a definite 5 star rating!

We got our kayak and paddle boards out on the water a few times. Walking distance to Hippo’s is a plus and you will definitely enjoy the food. If we are back in the area we would love to stay again!

Great stay!

Clean, modern interior makes for a very relaxing stay. Enough bedrooms to accomodate several people. Nice patio. Beach access as advertised. Rocky beach. Waterfront had a lot of algae you have to walk through if you want to swim, but other than that very pleasant to spend time by the lake. Lots of great things to do in the surrounding area within 30min drive.
