The perfect getaway
This cottage is perfect for a mini getaway. We enjoyed the welcome gift and the small touches. The indoor outdoor games were fun, the record player added a nice touch. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped to cook our meals in. It helped to have the cooking essentials (oils, spices and seasonings already in the cupboard). The sunsets and sunrises were amazing and the family pass for Point Pelee was a thoughtful touch. The boardwalk and lookout towers were worth the visit. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing stay
I did the best choice in booking in this cottage! Worth to drive for. The couple, cottage owner are very nice, friendly, pleasant. Beautiful lake view. Dog friendly. Everything you're looking for nature feeling is in this cottage. A place to get away from city living. Price is fair enough. Highly recommended. We had a good time, fun, laughters and wonderful experienced. We will definitely come back here again...

Leamington
Beautiful house on lake, more amenities than you could ask for! Clean and spacious. Beautiful decor. Good place to bring a dog, many tie outs and bag stations in open yard. Climate control became an almost immediate problem for host, temp outside was 67, we used the kitchen oven and host messaged she was monitoring thermostat and stated we couldn’t possibly be comfortable at that temp and specifically asked “what’s going on there?” It became awkward and then we wondered how much else was being monitored. Like the smart washer and dryer? Would we be asked why we did 3 loads of laundry in a day? Jacuzzi tub was disappointingly unusable. The water heater could not produce enough water to fill tub over jets. Eventually we used pots of stove heated water to completely fill. Check out list was extensive. We received multiple messages that continued for a few days after check out from host because a plastic container that housed Keurig pods, that we had never seen went missing? Not the Keurig, but apparently this container fit perfectly in a drawer. Turns out cleaning person had misplaced before our arrival. Beautiful place, but couldn’t return due to the way the host made us feel during and after stay.

Great Stay!
We had a wonderful time. It was exactly what we expected. I enjoyed sitting on the deck while reading my magazines and listening to the water. A nice bonus was the great view from the couch too! I could still see the water while relaxing inside when the weather got chilly. There are so many great spots in the house to retreat and have your own space. The only negative was a gift from Mother Nature. There were so many little flies. I am a girl from the suburbs in Texas so this maybe normal around The Great Lakes. We all agreed we would stay here again!!!

End of Summer!
The Lake Houz is a comfy, cozy cottage situated over looking Lake Erie. It has everything you need and then some for your stay. The upper deck gives you the feeling that you are actually on the water. Great location for morning coffee or that afternoon glass of a local wine. Sunrises & sunsets were spectacular! Great communication with the owners. The location to Point Pelee National Park is a short 7 minute drive - great park to explore. Close to Leamington as well which can meet all your needs. Would recommend!

Very Relaxing
Clean and very well equipped property on the lakefront. Close to town but far enough away to be extremely quiet. We enjoyed a lot of local fresh fruit and vegetables. Picking up fresh Pickerel in Wheatley was a bonus. For dog owners, there is a wonderful off leash dog park close by. All in all a great stay.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
This rental was perfect for us. We arrived and found it extremely clean and in perfect condition, ready for an amazing cottage weekend. The outdoor spaces are unreal, the view is beautiful (sunrises were amazing) and we spent so much time outdoors. The hosts were so easy to communicate with, personable and kind, and made every effort to ensure we had an amazing time and they made everything very easy for us. We are so grateful! It is a beautiful space with everything we needed for a great birthday weekend for my husband. Thank you!

Great place with beautiful views
My wife and I stayed here for a few days in July and loved it. If you are looking for a nice quiet house on the water you can’t get much better than here. It’s a short drive from point pelee as well which was nice. The deck overlooking the water was great to relax on and have a fire in the chimnea. Would recommend!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Cottonwood Lake Houz as soon as we saw it. We have a lot of fond memories of this place that we'd like to share with you.

Whether it is waking up in the morning to the sounds of birds & water breaking against the rocks, spending tranquil evenings sitting on the deck by the Chiminea sipping a cocktail, roasting marshmallows by the firepit, playing board games or watching TV by a roaring fire from the Woodstove; these are only a few memories you will experience!

Cottonwood Lake Houz is equipped with a fully functional kitchen that you will enjoy cooking in. Appliances include a Keurig coffee machine, dishwasher, fridge, electric stove, oven, microwave, toaster and an air fryer.

Work effectively and efficiently if you must by using the free high speed Wi-Fi service, the difference being you can do so from sitting on the deck by the water!

What makes this property unique

Modernized to offer all the necessary amenities plus luxuries for the ideal home-away-from-home.

Enjoy long walks on East Beach Road down to Hillman Creek while watching a stunning array of birds of different species.

Take in the tranquil views of Lake Erie from the deck or retreat inside to the peaceful solitude of life on the water.

When adventure strikes, you have plenty to choose from; Pelee National Park, Seacliff Beach, Pelee Island, Wine Country, and Craft Breweries are only minutes away by road!
