September 2025We had a quick 2 day getaway at this wonderful gem. Spectacular lake view. Cottage was clean and well equipped. We loved the wall of lake facing sliding glass doors which kept the open living space airy and bright. I had the advantage of sliding glass doors from my bedroom to the deck as well. In addition the the full length walk out deck is an additional dining deck. Nice sized grassy yard and lake access were also enjoyed.Check in was easy and hosts were prompt and friendly.We'll definitely return.

Beautiful Cottage, with Beautiful Views

This is a great cottage, that is very clean and well kept. The communication with the host was wonderful, and we had everything we needed while we were there, and it was a very comfortable and pleasant stay, with a beautiful view of the lake. My one word of caution for people, is that the waterfront is not very good, and had quite a bit of sludge in it, and also had a very strong odor to it. It was actually bad enough on our first two days, that we couldn't sit outside due to the odor. This is not the fault of the owner at all. The third day we were there, there was a nice breeze blowing in off the lake, which helped considerably with the smell. I'm not sure if the sludge at the waterfront gets better later in the season, but did want to include this so people aren't disappointed if they were hoping for a nice clean waterfront.
Beautiful view at night with a full moon!

Great stay!

We had a great stay overall! The location was fantastic, right on the water, and just a short drive from the provincial park, which was a big plus. The only downside was the number of spiders around the property. It may have been due to the time of year, but there were webs covering the outdoor furniture, making it unusable. Although the interior was clean upon arrival, we did notice a considerable number of spiders inside as well. Despite this, we would still recommend the property!

Relaxing stay by the lake.

Cute little cottage by the lake. Nice accommodations, great large back yard, beautiful view of the lake, and access to the water directly from the cottage. We had a fun and relaxing time. Great place for paddleboarding, and there's a provincial park nearby which the hosts have provided a pass for. Great stay.

Gorgeous location and outside space …

Three seniors visited for the Friday the 13th events in Port Dover. We were extremely pleased and happy with our find. As the sun began to set, however, we became aware of just how poor the lighting was inside; not only in the living room but two bedrooms as well. Also, when it came time for dinner, the oven wasn’t working. To top it off, there was no cell service. It was a shame, but we had to cut our stay short.

Lovely Vacation

I recently stayed here with my family and our dog, and we had an excellent experience. The cottage itself is beautifully designed and incredibly clean. What truly stood out was the outstanding attention to detail. The owners provided all the essentials and even added thoughtful touches like binoculars, a variety of games, and a parking pass to the nearby provincial park. Communication with the hosts was quick and friendly, ensuring we felt welcome and well-informed throughout our stay. The only downside was that the water was filled with algae, which unfortunately prevented us from swimming. However, this was beyond the owners’ control and did not significantly dampen the experience. Overall, I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to enjoy a cottage with fantastic views and excellent host support. Our family and dog had a wonderful time!

Had the most wonderful and relaxing time. The house was clean and beautifully decorated, very welcoming. Then there’s the view! Stunning! Mattresses and sheets were very comfortable and had the best sleep listening to the light laps of the lake. My friend and I wanted a little getaway to unwind and rejuvenate and this was the perfect place. Our hosts were most welcoming and we appreciated their kindness. Can’t wait to come back for another stress free weekend.
