The beach extends for miles in both directions and is ideal for swimming, lounging, sandcastle building, and relaxing sunset walks.

Alternatively, bring your own boat, kayak, or paddleboard to take full advantage of the beautiful freshwater lake!

July 2022 Family Stay

We stayed for a week with two young kids (3 and 5) and two adults. The house was clean with all amenities as listed. The hosts were very easy to communicate with via email or in person. The beach was perfect for little ones! Shallow water and beautiful sun sets. The park was so close and the kids loved the frog pond. Such a great stay and would highly recommend!!

Wonderful location

We had a lovely week at this property. 2 adults and 3 kids (5,7 & 8). Small cottage but enough room for a cozy week away from a busy life. Right on the lake, with a very sandy beach and shallow water for the kids to swim and play safely. We will absolutely come again.

Nice beach, friendly people

Beach was amazing! Cottage is quaint. Recommend no more than 4 people (best for two people). Cottage is located behind the main cottage but the people in the main cottage are very nice and give you privacy. Water is very shallow... perfect for kids or non swimmers (great for lounging right in the water)!

nice location although not accurately described

This property is advertised as beachfront. While it is near the beach it is tucked in beside a much larger property and is not really beachfront, but is beside a another property that is beachfront. The property also states it has a fire pit. I had expected to have a fire pit on the property. There is a communal fire pit.....but not one to gather around beside the cabin. The bed I slept in was comfortable. The other bedroom had beds that were very uncomfortable. My guests left early because they were not willing to sleep on it another night. Given that it was 2000. approx. for the week, it would be nice is the furnishings are comfortable. The living room futon and chair are both old and uncomfortable. The owners were pleasant and location lovely, but the add misrepresents the property. I was disappointed to have spent to much money and received so little.

Excellent beach vacation!!

Diane's cottage was perfect for us. Diane and her family are extremely friendly and hospitable. They were very easy to talk to and made you feel like home. They were available to answer any questions or concerns. The location is gorgeous, beach is right at the door step. It is private with access for only members of the community. It was great to be able to use the play area for my 16 month old toddler as well as just walk over to the beach and swim in the lake. There is a campfire area that was perfect to watch the beautiful sunset from as well as graze at the starts at night. The cottage was very clean and had all basic amenities like lawn chairs, loungers, bbq, picnic table and essentials in the kitchen. Diane's cottage is very well suited for families with small children. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be staying there again. Thanks Diane and family for making our vacation quite a memorable one.

Great family beach vacation!

We had a wonderful time at the Hennessy's beach cottage! Cute, clean, airy cottage was perfect for us and our two boys. The beautiful sandy beach is just outside the door which was great with two little ones running around...easy to grab the blanket and towels and head right down to the water. We enjoyed the swing set and slide, playing in the sand, walking down the sandy beach and skipping stones. BBQ grill was perfect for grilling up dinner. The nearby town is close for anything you need, and we were also just a 25 min drive or so from Grand Bend Beach, which had a great splash pad. The Hennessy's were wonderful; friendly, kind, just all-around excellent hosts. We really enjoyed are visit and hope to come back again in the future!
