Peaceful retreat on the Shores of Lake Erie

Escape from the hustle and bustle in this cute welcoming cottage right on the lake.
If you need a break from every day life you will LOVE this hidden gem.

Enjoy stunning views from almost every room in a tranquil atmosphere.

This peaceful, airy cottage features a lakeside patio for soaking up the sun and a beautiful window filled sun room. Sleeps 2 couples and two children/singles.

The perfect spot for a getaway in any season. Enjoy the outdoors no matter what the weather in the beautiful enclosed sunroom.
Cozy and cottagey, this traditional pine cottage (the first one built on our bay) with eclectic decor offers a relaxing peaceful vibe with all the comforts of home.

A bright open living room adjoins a window filled sunroom. The well appointed kitchen and outdoor BBQ ensure you can cook up a storm!
Ceiling fans in every room and the cool lake breeze keep the cottage comfortable on hot days.

Soak up the sun, or enjoy the shade, on the attached deck with large umbrella. Fall asleep listening to the waves, and enjoy the stars by the firepit.

Watch for the Bald Eagles fishing, the many species of song and water birds and keep an eye out for our resident Mink sunning on the break wall.

We have a selection of games and books for those rainy days, a Google TV so you can log in to your streaming services, and we are one of the few places to have the recently updated fibre optic high speed WIFI. Tell your boss you're working from home-he'll never know LOL!

The adjacent cottages are often empty, adding to the quiet and seclusion.

The front yard has a small fenced area suitable for pets, small children or that crazy Uncle who drinks too much ;-)

We are a short scenic drive from the town of Dunnville, which has almost anything you could need.
If you like day trips continue East to the Wineries of Niagara or check out the Falls!
You can also head West and explore Port Dover, Turkey Point or the beautiful Long Point nature areas.

Although...you may not want to leave the cottage :-)

Perfect for a couples retreat, a girls/guys getaway or a family vacation.

Serene, yet minutes to shopping, boat launches and dining.

The host was amazing to work with! The property was clean and beautifully maintained. Walking through the front door was like getting a welcoming hug from the cottage. The doors were wide enough for my 94 year old father's walker. The living room and beautiful sun room were spacious and so bright and welcoming and the view of the lake is amazing. The dark sky over the lake also makes for wonderful stargazing at night!! We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing and restful stay at this original Lake Erie cottage. So much more than we expected! Thank you Tracey for sharing this lovely lakeside retreat with us.

Relaxing place with a peaceful view

We had a great time at this cottage! Pictures don’t do it justice. Really fresh and beachy inside. Gorgeous lake view! We swam off the front, with a sandy bottom a few meters out. The fire right on the lake front was so beautiful at night!!
