Excellent location and place to stay...highly recommended!

We enjoyed Pelee Point National Park and area during the day, and found this house to be a great place to relax and unwind after a busy day. The house is very comfortable and well stocked to meet all our needs. We particularly enjoyed our dinner in the front room with a fantastic view of the lake so even though a storm passed through we were still able to enjoy the ambience of being so close to the water. Communication with the owner was great. No negatives at all -- would stay here again in a heartbeat if we are in the area sometime in the future.

Home Away From Home

What an amazing property, amazing breathtaking views! The cottage is cozy and comfortable with all the amenities needed. I have stayed at many cottages and this by far was the best sleep I have had yet! Bed was fantastic! The added perk of antenna tv allowed me to watch some Thanksgiving football, and the wifi worked well to stream some shows on my tablet. Jackie is such a personable and friendly host, I couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you so much for all the personal touches that made me feel so welcome, I will definitely be back in the near future!

Trip back home

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. Enjoyed watching the waves and the fire pit. Enjoyed barbecuing and ice cream. Enjoyed going into town. Loved hearing the waves! Would recommend to others. When we thought we had a problem with the coffee pot, they had another one at our place within hours!

Perfect for what we needed

This was a great alternative to renting a hotel room. We had a wedding in town and this was a more economical option. We had plenty of space to get ready for the wedding. Everything we needed was at our finger tips. It was nice to have the ironing board and iron available for use. The view was awesome! Jackie could not have been a better host. We would definitely come back again.

Peaceful Lake House

We loved staying at Jackie’s lake house. The property is clean and well-maintained and close enough to the beach for the waves to lull one to sleep. The house is bright and sunny and welcoming. Communication with Jackie was excellent. We loved it so much we booked again for an upcoming trip!

Absolutely beautiful!

We enjoyed our stay so much and cannot wait to return. From the moment we stepped in everything smelled so clean. From the comfy beds to the beautiful lake view we just enjoyed it so much. The location is also perfect for visiting the wineries and not a far drive to harrow or Kingsville. Jackie was also an excellent host to reach out to for any questions!

Two day getaway

I took my good friend away to celebrate her birthday. This cottage had everything we wanted, including AC! The only thing missing with us was the cottage was not on the beach, but we enjoyed listening to the water, right outside our door. The cottage was just like it’s pictures. Would definitely consider booking it again!

Lovely stay

Lovely cottage and setting. Very comfortable and serene. Enjoyed the waterfront and surrounding areas. More care needed in sweeping cobwebs and bugs from gazebo/BBQ area as well as amended seating. Deep clean required in kitchen. Firepit should be at the back by the water .

Two perfect days at the Lake

Quaint, homey cottage right on the lake. Comfortable, clean with lots of charming touches. So close to the water we could have been on a cruise ship! Every amenity you could ask for was included. This was a family getaway, mother (85 yrs) and 2 daughters. No mobility issues at all. Excellent!

What an amazing little gem. This rental has everything you need and more. Beds are extremely comfortable, everything provided. We enjoyed sitting in the front room sipping our coffee watching the wild life and lake boats passing by. I would highly recommend this rental and definitely would book again.

Winter Break

This property was everything we were looking for and more. The atmosphere was comfy and cozy. Loved sitting watching the neighbours create an ice rink on the lake. Jackie was amazing and we were treated with chocolates and a great variety of specialty coffees. House was well equipped and the shower was the highlight. Will be back

Hello, I am Jackie. I am a married mom of two boys. I live in Harrow and have extensive experience in local tourism for Windsor/Essex County and Ontario.

I aim to personalize each stay for my guests so that everyone can leave happy and content.

Why they chose this property

I love the water and enjoy the peace and relaxation that this area brings with it. I purchased this home for the sense of comfort it brings. Most of our guests love the sense of calm and cozy atmosphere of our cottage. They love the view and often remark on the comfort of our beds.

What makes this property unique

The home has a lot of natural light. It is quiet, has spectacular views of the water and gardens. The gazebo, sun porch with greenery, and fire pit are great features that are not found in a hotel.

The house and kitchen is fully loaded with all the comforts of home. Extra special touches give a personal feel for our guests.
