Lakehouse getaway

We were blown away by the views, seclusion, and impressive patio and grounds at the cottage. We had a relaxing five days, the cottage was clean and lovely and had all the amenities you’d expect to find at your home. We ate every meal on the patio overlooking the lake and woke up early most mornings to enjoy the spectacular view of the sun rising over the lake. Looking forward to our next visit!

Lovely spacious cottage

We had a terrific week at the ‘Cottage by the Shore’. It is a beautiful, bright, spacious and incredibly clean home. The cottage is well equipped and tastefully furnished. What stood out for us was how comfortable the beds and sofas were, so sleeping and relaxing at the cottage was a delight. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the large deck, reading and admiring the view, and enjoying many of our meals outdoors. Previous reviews mentioned the excessive amount of bugs and spiders on the deck. This was not our experience at all, other than the few bugs that one should expect being in a cottage by a lake! The cottage is private, the surrounding are quiet, and the garden area is beautifully maintained. One thing to mention is that the cottage is about a 20 minute drive to town so make sure you have all of your supplies and groceries so you don’t have to keep ‘popping out’ for stuff! Our host, Maria, was incredibly supportive and a pleasure to deal with. This is a very special place and we hope to return some time in the future.

Stay by the lake

Clean place with a great view of Lake Erie. Well equipped kitchen; bbq on a big deck. Quiet. Within 15 minutes of the entrance to Pelee National Park by car and 10-15 minutes to Leamington (for grocery stores, etc.). A 5 minute walk to Hillman Marsh Beach et a few minutes more for the conservation area.

Outstanding view

View of Lake Eire was outstanding...exactly as promised. Beach not a 5 to 10 minute walk around the corner. We did not originally realize that there was no wi fi at the cottage when we booked. Luckily. Maria pointed this out to us in our final confirmation so we came prepared...had printed out some local maps and local restaurant info before we arrived. Loved the location close to Point Pelee National Park and Hillman marsh.Maybe 10 15 minute drive into Leamington. Would definitely rebook.

Beautiful place on the water

Neat, tidy and well equipped cottage with large deck right on the water. We had fantastic weather and sitting on the deck was the best part. Deck is quite private as well, which was an added bonus. Owner was highly responsive and very friendly. Great stay and highly recommended.

Spectacular by the Shore

If you are thinking of renting this location, DO NOT HESITATE!! The property is better than the owner's description and photos. We have rented this property three times in the past four years, and we will be renting again. Clean, clean, clean. The view of the lake is incredible and the area is very peaceful. Extremely good communication with the owner. I would give a six star rating if I could.

A quiet, beautiful property where you can sit on the deck listening to the waves gently lapping against the rocks and enjoy a constant breeze from the lake. The interior was immaculate and nicely set up. The host was very accessible and helpful. We look forward to returning. Thank you.

Honeymoon retreat

Without a doubt.. total relaxation! Perfect choice spending our honeymoon sitting on the massive deck, enjoying a few drinks while listening to the waves hitting the rocks. The cottage was beautiful and the location was perfect and easily accessible to nearby towns. Fantastic owners and just a call away if needed. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing!

Where do I start? The check in process was well organized. We were welcomed with a note from the owners that gave it that personal touch. It is a beautiful and bright cottage with the most incredible views from so many windows. I have stayed in a lot of cottages, and this is the first one that I could start enjoying my vacation right away. The cottage was so clean and had all of the essentials. The panoramic view of the water made the sunrises the highlight of my day. Relaxing around a fire was a great way to end the day. We had access to so many nearby trails and beaches. Pelee Provincial Park is a must. The Marsh Boardwalk is one of a kind. I would highly recommend visiting The Cottage By The Shore. I was sad to leave but l am already looking forward to our next visit.

We stumbled upon this property while going through Chatham-Kent on a drive through the Essex-Windsor region and instantly fell in love. The tranquility, the privacy, and the feeling of complete relaxation when we are on the property made the decision to purchase the property a quick one.

What makes this property unique

If you love to be enveloped by nature and you love privacy, this is the place to visit. Each and every time that we are at our Cottage by the Shore, I get a sense of peace. I love the sound of the water near me, the sway of the trees, the sound of the birds overhead or on the lake, and the smell of nature.
