Lakeside Hydeaway Cottage on Lake Erie w/ Hot Tub
Joe and Christina’s place is beautiful and very relaxing. They have thought of everything to make sure their guest have all that is needed with great supplies of towels, kitchenware, etc. They were a great host always responding in good timing and accommodating our needed request to extend days.

The KingFisher Lakehouse: Your Lakeside Haven
The only thing I would improve is a garbage can by the sink. Absolutely stunning place. Peaceful, quiet, unbelievable sunsets and sunrises. Spotless. Point Pelée park is mere 3 minutes away. I enjoyed every second.

2-bedroom with hot tub,200 steps from the beach
Jeremy’s place was amazing! The pictures do not do it justice, it was even more beautiful in person. The walk to the beach was barely 3 minutes and the drive to nearby wineries was less than 10 minutes. The backyard space was private and comfortable. We are already hoping to travel there again!

Waterfront home with amazing views & great fishing
Perfect place to stay - very clean and has great amenities. Plenty of open room in the house with an awesome backyard space. Enjoyed our stay, would return for another trip. Thank you to the hosts.

Reveries on the Lake- Kingsville cottage
Super cute small cottage on the lake. Very good location for anyone looking to spend time in Kingsville or Leamington.

Erie Shores Cottages
Everything about this cottage was exactly what we were hoping for. It was right on the water and the sunsets were amazing. Very clean and everything we needed in the kitchen bathroom and bedrooms. Very comfortable and we loved the sunroom! The grounds were well kept too. And it was in close proximity to the ferry to Pelee Island and Point Pelee national park. I’ve already recommended this place to friends. We will definitely book this again if we are in that area in the future.

Sawiak Waterfront Haven
Really wonderful getaway with a beautiful water view. Clean! Host was responsive and helpful. Would recommend and would stay again.

Cottage on the water. New King Bed. Fenced yard.
House was exactly what the listing showed and description was. The house sits on channel that goes to Lake Erie. Neighbors were great and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend this one bedroom place for a getaway. it is on a private road.

Carolyn's Cottage, quiet and cosy!
Quiet, pastoral setting with large trees and established gardens - very large backyard. Great screened in porch. Best stocked kitchen - way more utensils, cutlery, knives, dishes, small appliances, etc. than typical. Felt like a "home" - not just bare basics - tastily decorated, a step back in time, but well maintained, clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend "Carolyn's Cottage"!

*Comfy King bed*Pet Friendly*
We had a nice stay at Jessica's. We brought our small dog Marty and came prepared with his Kennel so that we can enjoy the Cubs vs Tigers game. Nice backyard, full stocked, good location, and Jessica is a very responsive host.

Walled Lake Bliss Lakefront Novi/Kayaks/King Beds
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host was easy to reach and provided great communication. The house was clean and even provided games, fire wood, along with everything else we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful walking neighborhood and nearby park. I would highly recommend this stay!

"That 70's Cottage" (on Lake Erie!) Free Firewood!
A very cozy cabin and great location. The cabin was a perfect place to spend time with family or friends. It was a pleasant time spent with my family. The first two days we had a pleasant weather, so we went to beach. The beach is perfect for family with kids, and has a very nice restaurant close by where we could have lunch together. Next two days, the weather changed but we gladly stayed at the cabin, and enjoyed the fire pit, barbecue by the picnic table, and Jenga (they have a big Jenga). The pool table also made the nights more special. They have bikes available but we didn’t have a chance to use it but I think they are a bonus. We will definitely come back!

A Lakeside View
A GEM BY THE LAKE - With its lakeside location in a quiet neighbourhood, Rosanne’s property is super welcoming with a well equipped, large kitchen-cum-dining space, facing north, which is open to the south (back) great room, with its comfy sofas and chairs, games equipment and desk with brochures of local area points of interest, maps, etc. Through floor to ceiling windows of the great room, you’ll be treated to magnificent views of the lake inviting you onto the outdoor verandah to enjoy the sights and sounds (sunrises, sunsets) that’ll wow you! The second floor main suite is idyllic - a huge south-facing room with loveseat, ensuite bathroom, humongous closet and a balcony with comfy seating. Two more bedrooms (north facing) are on 2nd floor, with a 4th downstairs (west-facing). Another bathroom (east side) is also downstairs. Every space is extremely clean, well decorated but not cluttered. One of THE best homes we’ve experienced. Thank you Rosanne for hosting us and our pups.

Beach House Point
We loved our stay. Very close to Point Pelee National Park. The park pass came in handy for birding each day. (We got to skip the queue with the pass). We loved the cozy feel of the living room with the gas fireplace. Nice to sit out on the dock and soak up the afternoon sun.

On The Rocks Lakehouse - Point Pelee, Leamington
We had a fantastic stay at this lake house! The host was incredibly responsive and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. The view of the lake was absolutely spectacular—perfect for relaxing mornings and peaceful evenings. The house was well equipped with everything we needed, making it feel like a true home away from home. Highly recommended!

Sauna, stunning Lake Erie view, lakefront retreat
We had the best weekend there we will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone to go give it a try!

On The Rocks
Very nice place right on the water. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Highly recommend!

★Sunrise Beach House★ Epic Sun, Sand & Sea getaway
Had an amazing stay at Andy’s beach house! The place was spotless and super well-equipped from kitchen essentials to the games, everything we needed was already there. The backyard was the real highlight: peaceful, private, and with a stunning sea view that made every morning feel like a dream. Andy was a great host, responsive and welcoming. Would absolutely love to come back!

Parkview Cozy Cedar - Park & Beach Just Steps Away
James and Shari's cottage was perfect for what I was looking for. the location was great. Near the beach and park is right across the street. The ferry to Pelee island is just down the street. Also maybe about a 10 minute or so drive to Point Pelee provincial park. Highly recommend staying here.
