We had an awesome week here. The location is amazing with access to a big, sandy beach. Great views of the lake from the cottage and decks. The cottage is spacious with plenty of room for our group of six. Would definitely return!

We had an absolute blast staying at this incredible Lake Erie cottage! The communication from the property owner was superb, and he provided exceptionally detailed instructions that made checking in and getting settled effortless. The location is an absolute dream - waking up to a panoramic view of the lake right in the backyard and having direct access to the private beach made our trip unforgettable. The cottage itself was exceptionally clean, beautifully maintained, and smelled wonderful the moment we walked in. Whether you want to relax by the fire pit or explore the beautiful waterfront setting, this top-rated beach spot is a 10/10. We can't wait to come back!

My family and I stayed over Thanksgiving weekend...it was terrific. The cottage was very comfortable and clean, with more than enough space for the 6 of us. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck, watching the waves, geese and other birds flitting by. It was very close to EPIC, and we enjoyed tastings in aa few wineries. The cottage is well equipped....there wasn't anythng we needed for cooking Thanksgiving dinner that wasn't there.We would stay again. Thank you.

The location is magnificent; we thoroughly enjoyed the lake and the view, as well as the very large, well-maintained grounds. It's a very quiet and peaceful place; we were able to relax thoroughly to the sound of the waves. The chalet is comfortable; we had a wonderful stay.

Mom and I stayed at Sunrise Bay a couple of nights and our dogs in late July. The cottage is clean and very comfortable. It’s equipped with everything we needed. Dean, thank you for everything! We appreciate your clear and prompt communication. We loved the private beach, the views of birds feeding on the bird feed, and catching a glimpse of fireflies season made it extra magical. The sunrises and sunsets and moon over the water were spectacular! It was the perfect nature getaway from the hustle and bustle of Toronto we needed. We wished we booked it for a longer stay. After checkout, we spent the day with our dogs at Point Peele National Park which is a dog friendly park and visited The Tip (the southernmost point on mainland Canada).

Host was helpful and quick to respond. Cottage is clean, and has all the little things you need, with a great games room/sunroom that is bright and has lovely views. Without a doubt the outdoor space surpassed our expectations. Many places to sit, beautiful lake (sunrise!) views, steps down to the lake, and a lovely area for a campfire. We had a wonderful stay.

Beautiful family getaway

We loved our time at this property. Dean was super communicative the whole time and the cottage was well stocked with essentials. The lake views were incredible. Plenty of outdoor seating to choose from. We enjoyed daily walks on the private beach collecting sea glass and had many campfires listening to the waves. Close enough drive to Point Pelee National Park for some birding and sightseeing. Thanks for a memorable stay!

Very clean and comfortable. Lots of indoor and outdoor sitting areas. Better than advertised. Close to some great hiking, biking, kayaking, birding and Geocaching. The birds at the bird feeders are a treat to watch out the large windows.
