We just finished our stay at this cottage and we loved it. The pool was amazing and especially enjoyed swimming and hearing the waves. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Also nice and close to Amherstburg for shopping and Colchester for larger beach. Would highly recommend and hope to come back again!

Amazing place to stay. Not far from areas to shop and explore. Step out the back door 5 steps to the heated pool. Then another 5 steps to the deck that overlooks Lake Erie. Cottage had everything we needed.

Colchester wedding accommodations, top notch.

Was a terrific venue for the family to stay for family wedding in Colchester. We gather for a 78th birthday celebration, we're able to jump on boat and seafood by wading out a bit. The pool and fireput definitely made the location top notch. Beds super comfy. Enjoyed all recent renovations and updates. Thank you do very much. We'll return!

This was the vacation from hell.

We arrived at the property after a 5 1/2 hour drive only to discover that they did not expect us. The building was under construction . I have several e-mails confirming the date. Our vacation was spoiled. I will not book with vrbo again

A relaxing wonderful time

The cottage is just as described and the view is incredible. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The pool was awesome. The steep stairs and main floor bathroom can be an issue for older folks who are up and down at night but the beds are super comfortable and the rest of the amenities make up for it.

A little Oasis

We very much enjoyed our stay. We did not get out of the pool all week even when there was cooler weather because the pool was heated. We visited the lavender farm and winery which was lovely and found beach glass on the beach in front of the cottage. After our little one went to bed, we enjoyed a glass of wine by the water. We felt like we traveled to a resort. We went in late June and the may flies were crazy! They are harmless but it required a lot of skimming of the pool and some even came home with us. Apparently June is their season. All-in-all it was a great vacation and we look forward to returning.

Wish it was pet friendy

This is our 2nd year here. We love it, especially with the pool. It is a bit difficult for us seniors though as the only bathroom is on the main level and the bedrooms are on the 2nd level with steep stairs and no handrail. We would still return if we could but unfortunately the owner has decided to make it "no pets allowed". It was wonderfully rare to find a fully fenced waterfront property.
