About this property

Stunning Lake Views on shores of Lake Erie

This spectacular cottage has striking views of the lake from the entire open concept cottage with large front windows and an enormous screened in porch. The one of a kind cottage offers the rustic feel of a cabin, but on a huge scale. Using native lumber from the expansive, wooded back yard for the interior wood paneling and homemade stained glass are just some of the many personal touches you will find throughout.

With 3 large bedrooms and two baths, there is plenty of space for a large family. Featuring a huge screened in porch, with updated amazing sunroom, full dining area that seats 8 and a wonderfully equipped kitchen. All of your modern appliances are here including microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer, toaster and coffee maker and outdoor propane grill.

Bedroom configurations are as follows:

Bedroom 1 – King bed with ensuite bath (Tub and shower)
Bedroom 2 – Queen Bed
Bedroom 3 – Queen Bed and 2 Twins beds (sleeps 4)
Dedicated office space with 2nd bathroom attached.

We provide all linens and towels, cookware, dinnerware, DVD player and large flat screen TV.

Only a hop, skip and a jump away from the Buffalo Canoe Club, Bertie Boat Club and Crystal Beach, this is a perfect vacation spot if you are looking to get away from it all. Locally, we have many activities to enjoy like several public beach areas, Farmer’s Markets, live thoroughbred racing at Fort Erie Race Track, historic sites such as Old Fort Erie and the Ridgeway Battlefield, Safari Niagara and local dining and shopping. Take a short 20 minute drive to Niagara Falls to view the magnificent waterfall and other attractions like Maid of the Mist, Clifton Hill, Bird Kingdom, Butterfly Conservatory or enjoy over 40 regional golf courses such as Thundering Waters or Legends on the Niagara.

For safety, please note that absolutely no outdoor or indoor fires of any kind are permitted at this cottage.. This is a great location for boating, kayaking and canoeing! There is loads of space behind the cottage to store your equipment and boat launches are nearby. Enjoy your morning coffee or play some cards on the large screened in porch with the soothing sight and sound of the waves.

Please note that although we offer amazing lake views, this cottage has a rocky shoreline and is not beachfront. It is amazing for fishing and you can anchor your boat just across the street, which is very convenient. TOTAL Maximum Occupancy is 8 guests with a maximum of 6 adults. Bay Beach passes are NOT provided with this home.

Home on lake Erie
We were very impressed with the accommodation. The home was clean and well equipped. We were provided with “starter” consumables but we knew that from the start so brought our own. We did have a problem with bees in one of the bedroom, but luckily there were enough beds to accommodate all of us and we just closed off that room. It was reported and we were assured it would be looked after. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home.

Great location and view!!
Love the location and the view of the water! Especially the front porch was beautiful to watch the sunrise every morning! Our family had a great time and was wonderful to spend time all together. Beaches are close by and took some day trips. Would love to back again!

Family Vacation
The house was a perfect location of wanting to visit the falls, but still have a feel of a vacation home. The porch was our favorite to hang out in the morning enjoying our breakfast. Great experience and stay!

The getaway cottage
This cottage was truly a remarkable place to stay. It is only 30 min to Niagara Falls so we were able to go two days. Niagara Falls is crowded and the cottage was our place to decompress after walking and interacting with alot of people. The sunrise between 5-5:30 am is truly amazing. We loved it!

Great location but things to note
Can't beat the location of this property - absolutely stunning!! Our feedback as a group was that the house is a bit dated and could use a face-life including rooms where the light switches were taped off (not sure why). Biggest thing to know in advance is that there are NO basic toiletries included - bring your own soap, toilet paper, etc. A bit of a shocker for people travelling from western Canada and California. Also of note, is that while there are pictures of a great fireplace, you are not allowed to have a fire. Lastly, the TV only has 4 or 5 channels and they are not great. A suggestion from our party is that the host install a smart TV so that you can at least watch Netflix or other streaming services.

Excellent family vacation in Point Abino
Our family has changed in that one son and daughter-in-law lives in Ottawa, one son lives outside Philadelphia, and we are currently just north of Cincinnati. The location was almost equidistance for all of us. We loved the location on the lake and spent hours watching the view. The town of Crystal Beach was great and we even spent some time in Niagra Falls. Plan on coming back next year.

Spacious house with a great view
Everyone loved the sunroom and used it 90% of the time that we were there. Large rooms are nice with an added bonus of large sitting areas inside and out. We did find that the wood floor creaks when you walk. Otherwise great place to stay, everyone loved it.

Amazing!!!
My family and I had an amazing week at this cottage. It’s a 5 min drive from the beach area (it’s close enough to walk as well). The cottage was super clean, well maintained, good internet (which was super as we have 3 teens) and the view from the front porch was my favorite spot for my morning coffee! There are a ton of windows with natural beautiful lights and great views of the lake. The cottage is equipped with everything you need to cook, they also have a washer and dryer which came in handy. Terrific little spot and I will be booking again for sure! The only down side ( not even related to the cottage) were the black flies so bring lots of bug spray ;)

Excellent Gettaway
The property is more of a country home than a cottage. The view is beautiful. Fishing is good. Beaches are nice. Water is crystal clear. Bedrooms are all a good size. There is lots of space to be comfortable in this property. Water is municipal plumbing, not septic which is a bonus. We loved the area so much, we reached out to a local agent to look at a few properties in the area to explore the possibilities. Great place to rent overall

Amazing views
Amazing location that is easy to get to. Lots of parking. Amazing views of the lake Eerie from the house and a nice sunroom to enjoy it all. Property is clean and has everything that you would need. Easy communication. Cons: the fireplace is decorative and no outside fires allowed. Both bathrooms are en-suite, so someone has to go through someone’s bedroom each time.

Very pleasant experience at the cottage
We just spent a very pleasant week of vacation at the cottage. near Crystal Beach.. The cottage is very spacious, with 4 large bedrooms, plus good size dining and family rooms. The shining point is indeed the fully-screened front porch, where we enjoyed morning coffees and evening drinks. with gorgeous lake view. The only inconvenient we felt is that both bath rooms are en-suite, so those staying in two of the 4 rooms have to walk though other bedrooms during the night in order to access bathroom. Crystal Beach is about half hour walk, or 5 minute car ride ,away. The beach is very clean and well maintained, great for swimming and playing. It is unfortunate that canoe and kayak rental shop is not opening this season due to the pandemic, The owner Teri is very kind, generous and responsive. Overall, it is a great vacation for us.

Perfect location for a quarantine vacation
The property was perfectly comfortable for our group of 8. The sunporch was amazing, whether sitting out enjoying our morning coffee or enjoying a beverage while playing board games with the group. The location was very quiet and the beach was lovely, however it was close enough to do some day trips (Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake, wineries, etc...). I would recommend this property.

Needed a place to stay for a family wedding. This house was in the perfect spot. Walking distance to the Chapel and close to other family members.

Great location
The location was amazing. Overall this was good but in need of some updating. It was a little like going to Grandma’s house. Kitchen has almost everything you need (except baking pans like for brownies or cake) and low water pressure. There was a bit more traffic than I expected but nothing crazy. Lots of birds and geese visited daily and it was nice to sit on the screened in porch. I would stay here again - the location really sells it.
