The home is beautiful and unique with an outstanding view over the lake. Very easy entry and nicely appointed.Billiards table was a plus as the weather was stormy at times. Good WIFI connection. Abundant TV's! Gas fireplace in the master bedroom was very nice for the stormy, windy night.A few "more forks" in the dining area for a family of 4 would have been a plus.Good access in early spring to surrounding "things to do".Highly recommended

Colchester was a Lovely Area

The accommodations were as described and any questions were answered quickly by Jason. It is a lovely area to visit with golf courses, excellent wineries and good food available. We had a rainy stay but still had a great holiday. We are planning our next trip to Point Pelee area already.

Amazing Getaway!

This was the getaway we needed! It was everything we wanted and more. The view overlooking Lake Erie was incredible. The location is perfect; walking distance to the beach, restaurant, and a dozen great wineries just minutes away. The game room and pool table was a hit for breaks away from the stunning porch view. The home itself is warm and welcoming. Can’t wait for the next visit!

Modern home with excellent lake views

This home is very modern and has all the comforts of home, really enjoyed the decor. The best part of the property is the beautiful landscape and views of the lake. Great communication by the owner. Location was very convenient to the wineries and there was a beach within walking distance. It The only downside is that one of the bedrooms had an opening that looked over the stairs - so not exactly a completely private space.

Highly Recommended Rental

This home and our host - Jason are an A. This home was exactly as described but better. It is a lovely home but even more important, it is comfortable. The beds, pillows, LR furniture are all inviting and super comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and has what you need to cook a nice meal. The yard is stunning and well cared for with grass and gorgeous flowers. Jason was available for questions, before and during our stay. He was easy to work with. We will definitely stay here for our next trip to Canada!
