Beach Getaway

We had super hot weather during our stay so the AC was very appreciated! All beds were very comfy, lots of space both inside and outside the cottage. The cottage had everything we needed. Amazing views and right next to the public beach!

Great location! House is great!

House is clean, modern and well kept. Right next to beach which is very convenient. Coming in June was not prepared for the may flies. They do not bite but are annoying. BBQ in excellent shape. Hosts were great with communication. Rooms are great especially the master bedroom.

Picturesque, great for long weekends

We visited with family friends. Enjoyed the BBQ and the fire pit very much. The cottage has everything a group would need during a long weekend. There's a nearby playground as well for little guests. Be careful as the hot water in the shower was tricky for the teenagers with us. I showered easily. Monique was very quick to help with our BBQ questions. It was a very pleasant stay overall.

Girls Getaway Weekend

This was the second time (3rd for one of us) staying at this property. The house offered a lot of space for everyone to relax and spread out. The proximity to wineries, stores and good food was perfect. The view from the back yard was beautiful. It was a wonderful weekend. Thank you!

Perfect!

This is the second time we have stayed in Monique’s cottage. It is absolutely perfect for our family. Water park and play structure for the children, wineries, road side stands and restaurants for the adults and a beautiful beach nearby. We spent many evenings sitting lakefront enjoying the view and the breeze. The cottage is well equipped providing us with everything we needed.

North Lake Erie getaway

7 of us comfortably fit in this home on a beautiful lakefront property. Beach was a <5 minute walk. Wineries close by. The place was well equipped. The only suggestions would be to add more spices besides salt and pepper, and offer some shampoo/conditioner. Would definitely book again!

Lovely Property

We were there as a family with small children (aged 2 + 6) and having the playground, splash pad and large sandy beach next door was incredibly handy for us. House was well appointed with all the comforts of home, especially compared with many other cottages (e.g full municipal water access, a/c, natural gas BBQ). House was true to pictures. Views were amazing and the sunroom was so nice for a coffee and book.
