Second stay here for me. Can't say enough about owner Maureen and Jen the property manager. Extremely responsive (and patient)and Jen saved me big time!!! Awesome updated kitchen and bathrooms; best shower I have had since I was there last year. Back deck has ample seating, umbrellas at high tops for shade and a great cottonwood tree (I think) for added coverage. Can't beat sitting out back in the evening watching the sunset on the lake. A great stretch of beach with good neighbors. Minutes from the penninsula and attractions. Would highly recommend!!!

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 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.

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.

This is our 3rd summer staying at this location and we're already rebooked for next year. It has all the amenities we need and is always clean. The best part is the location - close the everything but you feel like you're a million miles away from everything! So peaceful and relaxing

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!

We absolutely loved this place! It was so bright and cheerful. It was clean and we loved the open floor plan. You could see the water through the big windows. The deck was perfect. And the water was so close. Highly recommend.
