Lakeside Hydeaway Cottage on Lake Erie w/ Hot Tub
Such a perfect get away for my husbands 30th bday! The backyard is so perfect for a great sunny summer day! The beds are super comfy too!

Waterfront - Hot Tub - 3Bed Cottage - Pet Friendly
Beautiful location, loved the facilities especially the hot tub. Sumudu was really helpful when we couldn’t get in and when we left an item at the cottage. Excellent host.

2-bedroom with hot tub,200 steps from the beach
Jeremy’s place was amazing! The pictures do not do it justice, it was even more beautiful in person. The walk to the beach was barely 3 minutes and the drive to nearby wineries was less than 10 minutes. The backyard space was private and comfortable. We are already hoping to travel there again!

Waterfront home with amazing views & great fishing
Perfect place to stay - very clean and has great amenities. Plenty of open room in the house with an awesome backyard space. Enjoyed our stay, would return for another trip. Thank you to the hosts.

Hot Tub Kitch Lake Fireplaces Late Ck Out at GSL
As always, a stay at Lori's never disappoints. It was spotless, beautiful, relaxing and calm. I just can't say enough nice things about the host. Even helped me surprise my wife with nice extras for pur anniversary.

It's a 'Shore' thing - Executive Retreat
We recently stayed at this beautiful cottage on the lake, and it was truly the perfect escape. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the host had thought of everything. The cottage was very clean , cozy, and fully stocked with all the essentials—and then some. Fresh linens, kitchen supplies, firewood, even board games and snacks were waiting for us. The view of the lake was stunning, especially at sunrise. We spent our days enjoying meals on the deck while watching the water. In the evenings, we relaxed by the fire pit We didn’t have to worry about a single thing the whole time we were there—it really felt like a home away from home.

Nature valley Cottage
We loved our stay at the cottage. It was peaceful and had all required amenities and we enjoyed. We would want to visit again once in summer.

Sunrise Retreat - Lakefront Cottage w/ Hot Tub
This place is an oasis!! It has a stunning view, great deck to sit on, is spotless and feels just like home! The beds were downy and the sheets incredibly soft, I didn't want to get up! But the view pulls you to explore! The cottage has absolutely everything you could want, in terms of kitchen and bath set-up, a huge TV and hot tub. The host is so lovely, responsive, helpful and kind! You couldn't ask for anything better! Truly a gem!

Reveries on the Lake- Kingsville cottage
What a wonderful place to stay! The views were incredible, it was super clean and the hosts were absolutely wonderful to talk to! They were very responsive and helpful with all of our questions. Definitely planning on coming back for a quick getaway in the future! My friends had a blast, especially when hiding Salty and coming up with a fun hint in riddle form! 10/10 would recommend!

Erie Shores Cottages
Everything about this cottage was exactly what we were hoping for. It was right on the water and the sunsets were amazing. Very clean and everything we needed in the kitchen bathroom and bedrooms. Very comfortable and we loved the sunroom! The grounds were well kept too. And it was in close proximity to the ferry to Pelee Island and Point Pelee national park. I’ve already recommended this place to friends. We will definitely book this again if we are in that area in the future.

Sawiak Waterfront Haven
This was our second time staying at the property, first time as the bookers, and it was perfect again. cottage is well appointed with everything we needed and then some. beautiful property and very private with lots to do in the area. 10/10 will book again!

Waterfront Cottage near Beach - kayaks & game room
Wonderful stay in this space! Everything was exactly as described, and the water views from the bedrooms were lovely. Bright, open, and inviting space. Well stocked kitchen and linens. Loved the kayaks, and the fire pit - so nice that dry firewood was included. We don’t make use of the game room, as the weather was perfect for relaxing outside, but it looks like a lot of fun! Very clear instructions, and friendly and responsive hosts. Would definitely stay here again!

Cottage on the water. New King Bed. Fenced yard.
House was exactly what the listing showed and description was. The house sits on channel that goes to Lake Erie. Neighbors were great and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend this one bedroom place for a getaway. it is on a private road.

Carolyn's Cottage, quiet and cosy!
Amazing place! Really enjoyed our stay. The porch swing is an amazing place to relax. Will be back!

*Comfy King bed*Pet Friendly*
Jessica’s listing was great! This was our first time in Detroit and it was so close to everything we needed while being away from the hustle. The fully stocked kitchen was great! We were able to make dinner after coming home from a long day at a music fest and not rely on fast food. Thanks for our stay!

Walled Lake Bliss Lakefront Novi/Kayaks/King Beds
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host was easy to reach and provided great communication. The house was clean and even provided games, fire wood, along with everything else we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful walking neighborhood and nearby park. I would highly recommend this stay!

Cedar Island Sandbox
Another great stay! When the weather didnt co-operate we checked out the local wineries and had an amazing lunch at Coopers Hawk. Golfed at Kingsville Golf and Country Club that was just 5 minutes up the road. We had fun kayaking in the waves and campfires on the beach! Thanks again Jeff!

"That 70's Cottage" (on Lake Erie!) Free Firewood!
This place was exactly as described. Nice, quiet cottage but still very close to the city. The space was clean and welcoming. Pool table was a little tight to play on but it was an extra added feature so really no complaints there. My fiancee and I loved relaxing there.

Spring Garden Suite | Nature | Family | Comfort
nothing I say will do justice to 2181 Spring Garden Rd! I am so grateful for having booked this place and having had the pleasure of calling it home since December. the house is beautiful! has everything and anything we needed. Carmen was always responsive to any enquires! the area is so beautiful, so peaceful! I only wish I could have stayed intimate the summer months! but all good things must come to an end! thank you Carmen for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home for so long! a must stay if you're visiting Windsor!

Beach House Point
We loved our stay. Very close to Point Pelee National Park. The park pass came in handy for birding each day. (We got to skip the queue with the pass). We loved the cozy feel of the living room with the gas fireplace. Nice to sit out on the dock and soak up the afternoon sun.

LAKE Escape Retreat - Onsite Beach Dock Waterfront
we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was exactly as stated, with a few added bonuses. The explanation of how to check in, what to expect, what anemities were available, what to bring, and even what to prepare for- down to the details of what to expect that month, or season was fabulous! In our circumstances, having rented the cottage while our home was under construction, Tim was phenomenal in responding quickly and ever so helpful! can't wait to go back again! I highly recommend staying here!

Bella Vista - Cedar Island Kingsville, Lakefront!
What an excellent way to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the waterfront sights and sounds of nature. The cottage was exactly as advertised, spotless on arrival, and it was pure gold place to stay. I can not remember the last time that the was able to feel as relaxed as I did this week just listening to the waves and watching the multitudes of species of birds that came to see us. We will for sure be back!

Sauna, stunning Lake Erie view, lakefront retreat
We had the best weekend there we will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone to go give it a try!

Urban Cottage Adorable Shabby Chic Getaway for 2
