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. The house is spacious and very well equipped. Everything we needed was there. We also enjoyed going to Hippo’s. Thank you for a great vacation.

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.

Great View!

We had a great time staying at the house. The owners have thought of everything. Well stocked kitchen with everything you need. It was quiet, clean with an incredible view. 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!

Thank you for your 5 star review. We are so happy you chose Lakeside Retreat for your family vacation. Our lake front is great for paddle boarding and kayaking glad you were able to enjoy time on the water. We are so fortunate to have Hippos Restaurant just steps away from the cottage. When life at the cottage gets busy with having fun Hippos is happy to take care of the cooking. I love their fish taco's and their poutine. Yummy! We really hope you travel our way again and decide to stay at Lakeside Retreat. We'll keep the candle burning in our front window for your return. :)

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.

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!
