The property is absolutely gorgeous. The view is breathtaking. This is our second stay. We made memories around the fire with family, enjoyed a meal with friends and sat around the chiminea listening to the waves crashing in. The cottage is so cozy and looks like something out of a movie its so perfect. We had a wonderful time.

An incredible week there. Hosts were incredible. We had intended on using the Lake Houz for a “home base” for when we did activities in the area for our vacation but spent most of our time sitting on the deck overlooking the lake. The place was stocked well and was cozy for a nice day relaxing and then movie nights with the family. Overall amazing week and memories.

We enjoyed our stay. Inside is nice and clean. BBQ should be changed, it’s falling a part. Also, all outside chairs were covered in spiderwebs.

The perfect getaway

This cottage is perfect for a mini getaway. We enjoyed the welcome gift and the small touches. The indoor outdoor games were fun, the record player added a nice touch. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped to cook our meals in. It helped to have the cooking essentials (oils, spices and seasonings already in the cupboard). The sunsets and sunrises were amazing and the family pass for Point Pelee was a thoughtful touch. The boardwalk and lookout towers were worth the visit. We can’t wait to come back!

I did the best choice in booking in this cottage! Worth to drive for. The couple, cottage owner are very nice, friendly, pleasant. Beautiful lake view. Dog friendly. Everything you're looking for nature feeling is in this cottage. A place to get away from city living. Price is fair enough. Highly recommended. We had a good time, fun, laughters and wonderful experienced. We will definitely come back here again...

Leamington

Beautiful house on lake, more amenities than you could ask for! Clean and spacious. Beautiful decor. Good place to bring a dog, many tie outs and bag stations in open yard. Climate control became an almost immediate problem for host, temp outside was 67, we used the kitchen oven and host messaged she was monitoring thermostat and stated we couldn’t possibly be comfortable at that temp and specifically asked “what’s going on there?” It became awkward and then we wondered how much else was being monitored. Like the smart washer and dryer? Would we be asked why we did 3 loads of laundry in a day? Jacuzzi tub was disappointingly unusable. The water heater could not produce enough water to fill tub over jets. Eventually we used pots of stove heated water to completely fill. Check out list was extensive. We received multiple messages that continued for a few days after check out from host because a plastic container that housed Keurig pods, that we had never seen went missing? Not the Keurig, but apparently this container fit perfectly in a drawer. Turns out cleaning person had misplaced before our arrival. Beautiful place, but couldn’t return due to the way the host made us feel during and after stay.
