Lake Erie Cottage: Hot Tub, Paddle Board & Firepit

Time slows down here. The kind of slow where you're on the deck watching Lake Erie catch the morning light, coffee in hand, thinking — this is exactly what I needed. Boho Breeze is a lakeside cottage in Selkirk, Ontario — boho-beautiful, immaculately clean, and one of the few spots in the area with a private hot tub steps from the water. Comfort and hospitality that actually lands.

You’ll have complete privacy with easy self check-in. We’re quick to respond via Airbnb messaging or text and can help with local recommendations, troubleshooting, or anything that comes up.

Selkirk is a peaceful Lake Erie shoreline community in Haldimand County, known for wide sandy beaches, big skies, and easy access to nature, golf, and some of the best freshwater fishing in Ontario.

We like to keep things clear so you can book with full confidence. A few helpful things to know:

Water equipment — Paddleboard, kayak, and beach toys are included at no extra cost. All equipment used at your own risk; life jackets and supervision are the responsibility of guests.

Water & septic — Cistern system: filtered, clean, and drinkable. Please be water-mindful, and toilet paper only down the toilet.

Internet — Reliable Wi-Fi, great for streaming. If you're working remotely, have a backup plan just in case — it's a peaceful rural spot.

Lakeside nature — You're in cottage country, so expect it to feel like it. Gnats in spring, mosquitoes in warmer months. Bring repellent and keep doors shut when lights are on.

Firewood — Not included, but easy to grab from local vendors nearby for about $6 a bundle.

Exterior cameras — Three cameras at the front door, side of house, and backyard, used primarily when the property is vacant. Your privacy is fully respected.
