Great location, easy to access all activities and the view of the lake was beautiful. We visited Peele Point National Park while we were there and took the kayaks and canoe down Cedar Creek.
Great stay our family appreciated the clean accommodations and comfortable beds. The sunset was beautiful and we had fun exploring the shoreline. The deck is a good size for family BBQs. Will happily return.
Yes, absolutely! The location is very close to town, with easy access to great restaurants, local food spots, and nearby wineries. It’s a perfect base for exploring the area while still enjoying a peaceful getaway by the water.
The place is amazing, exactly as shown in the pics. Incredible view, very quiet and peaceful. The host was quick to respond and helpful. We will sure try to come back!
We were really pleased with our rental. It was clean, easy to locate and well stocked with essentials. The view was amazing. Until people appeared right next to us. The garage was renovated and rented out. Suddenly we were sitting almost 6 feet away from strangers.
Perfect family getaway! Beautiful property, exactly as pictured, clean, easy check in. The picturesque town of Amherstburg just minutes away. Enjoyed our stay.

This was a great vrbo , well equipped kitchen , beautifully renoed, felt like home . Nice deck and furniture with beautiful views right on Lake Erie. 15 min from Ahmerstburg where our daughter lives. We stayed a month during Christmas and host had a tree set up for us . Neighborhood is quiet and on a clear night we were able to see the stars

This cottage is perfect! What a great experience The views from the wide open windows are stunning and as pictured. We almost forgot we were in Ontario and not by the ocean!Everything is well stocked - full kitchen with everything you need. Bathrooms were clean and had great water pressure. Beds were so comfy and the cottage has tons of space and it's brightly lit.We actually hosted a small wedding in the backyard and it was perfect. Lots of parking and shade, plus ample seating and ambiance.Tim was a great host and provided quick communication and everything we needed, plus occasional check ins, especially when a storm came and knocked the power out The neighbors are friendly and welcoming...Just a sweet experience for all of us.Highly recommend for families, gatherings, and friends who love the lake and want a quiet getaway. We will be back!
Exactly as described. Spacious and clean. Loved it
