The cottage was as described. It was a simple, carefree accommodation. The beach was a positive surprise, being all sand (and no stones) and great for doing long walks. We would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay at Emily’s cottage! It was clean, cozy, and centrally located. We spent mornings drinking coffee on the porch, afternoons hiking Pinery Provincial Park, and evenings swimming in Lake Huron. Emily was a wonderful host with clear communication and instructions. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Emily!

My wife and I fully enjoyed not only the cottage, but also quiet surroundings even during the long Thanksgiving weekend. Sunsets at a private Sun Beach are fantastic (500m walk from the cottage). Recommend also Pinery Provincial Park, Pinery Market, and famous car and drag racings nearby (only practice car races were available in mid October though).

Cottage was spacious with all you'd need! Lots of parking, room for relaxing, cooking etc., only a short walk away to your own private beach and walking distance to the main strip. Thanks for a great stay!

Great place to stay to enjoy the beach without having to deal with the crowds at the main Grand Bend/ Main Street Beach.The Beach near the cottage was beautiful !!! It is about a 5 min walk from the cottage but there is also parking at the beach access if you are bringing a lot of stuff with you. Check in and Check out was easy and straighforward.

Our family of 5 spent 5 days at the cottage and had a wonderful time! The cottage and screened in lounge offers plenty of space to relax at the property, or the private beach is just a short 3mins walk away. Communication with Emily was great, and she was very quick to respond to any questions.A beautiful spot that we will certainly look to return to!

This property is beautiful and very close to beach. The bunkie is a great addition as an outdoor space. I am glad I read previous reviews about only being 6 towels available so I brought extra. You can’t go wrong with this place!

Will stay again!

What can’t I say? The weekend for our family was a hit for young and old alike! The cottage was clean, comfortable and close to all amenities. We were steps from the beach and walking distance to the strip, and evenings were spent cozy by the fire. It was just the relaxing getaway that we needed. Thanks to our amazing host, Emily! We will definitely book again!

Pleasant Stay

Southcott Pines is a lovely community. The cottage was on the small side but clean. The outdoor screened building was a plus and very useful. We missed having a microwave though.

A quaint quiet cabin

admittedly we used this cabin as a drop location to go to family reunion. But the time we spent at the cabin was lovely. It is very close to the beach, a functional kitchen, nice a/c unit to keep you cool, and fans in every room. We’d gladly come back.

Wonderful property to stay

Ladies getaway for a few days. We really enjoyed our stay. Emily was very kind. Nothing but good things to say about this place - looks even better in person. Cottage is cozy and the cleanliness is impeccable. Bedrooms were spacious, the beds were very comfortable. Walking distance to a private beach for residents in the area. Beach was great and water was clean. A fantastic getaway!

A Delightful Stay

We had an enjoyable five day visit at this cottage...my husband and myself...and then two out of town friends for two days. The cottage was very clean and well organized. It was not cluttered but had all of the items we needed. The beds and firm mattresses allowed for comfortable sleeps. We enjoyed going for walks and spending time at the nearby beach. We had a delightful time at this cottage.
