This was the second time (3rd for one of us) staying at this property. The house offered a lot of space for everyone to relax and spread out. The proximity to wineries, stores and good food was perfect. The view from the back yard was beautiful. It was a wonderful weekend. Thank you!

Perfect!
This is the second time we have stayed in Monique’s cottage. It is absolutely perfect for our family. Water park and play structure for the children, wineries, road side stands and restaurants for the adults and a beautiful beach nearby. We spent many evenings sitting lakefront enjoying the view and the breeze. The cottage is well equipped providing us with everything we needed.

North Lake Erie getaway
7 of us comfortably fit in this home on a beautiful lakefront property. Beach was a <5 minute walk. Wineries close by. The place was well equipped. The only suggestions would be to add more spices besides salt and pepper, and offer some shampoo/conditioner. Would definitely book again!

A perfect summer getaway for my family! Reviews and listings were on target. Everything you would expect to enjoy the comforts of a home. The sun room was perfect to play games and to relax and listen to the sounds of the lake. Location is close to several excellent wineries and brew pubs. Would definitely return.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location
The house is gorgeous. Very clean. The view is amazing. A peaceful getaway with lots to do in the near vicinity. A few days away from the hustle and bustle of life was just what the doctor ordered. Three bunnies in the neighborhood were fun to watch too.

Lovely Property
We were there as a family with small children (aged 2 + 6) and having the playground, splash pad and large sandy beach next door was incredibly handy for us. House was well appointed with all the comforts of home, especially compared with many other cottages (e.g full municipal water access, a/c, natural gas BBQ). House was true to pictures. Views were amazing and the sunroom was so nice for a coffee and book.

Our MUCH needed girls getaway. The backyard bunnies, vintage swing set and inflatable rentals at our beach were unexpected, and really made for a wonderful weekend. The old house was charming and had all the amenities. Fell asleep listening to the waves. Would definitely return

Very nice cottage stay in excellent location!
The cottage was clean and spacious, with everything we needed such as linens, towels, etc. We were pleasantly surprised with how generously equipped the kitchen was with dishes and equipment! The sun room was our favorite spot with amazing views, and the outdoor seating provided lots of opportunities to enjoy the fresh air. Our favorite aspect was the location - a 2 minute walk from a park with a playground and splash pad for the young kids, and access to the beach. So convenient! Also we were very impressed with the communication with the host, she was so prompt on replying and provided all the info beforehand making our stay easier. Overall a great experience!

Great Cottage and Location
We loved our Stay, 3 couples for a weekend getaway after our golfing weekend to the United States fell through. The cottage was clean and we found it exactly as advertised. Some very interesting decorating through out this well maintained home. It is easy to tell that Cathy takes great pride in and care of this cottage. Lots to do in the nearby area, wineries, restaurants and antiques. Something for everyone. The beach looks so inviting, too bad it was Fall and the weather not suitable for the beach. We will have to return when the weather is better. We had a great time .... we will be back!

Great Little Gem!
We rented the house for a quick weekend getaway (adults and 2 kids under 10). The house is really nice and clean, kitchen is well stocked, view is phenomenal! Everyone had a great time and we all enjoyed how quiet and peaceful it was. The only thing that tried to spoil the weekends were insects, so have bug spray handy. Lake is pretty, but not suitable for swimming (there was a warning about high bacteria level). Lake is perfect if you have a boat. Will keep the property in favorites! PS Respond time of the owner is great- quick and very efficient. Thank you!
