We enjoyed our stay. Inside is nice and clean. BBQ should be changed, it’s falling a part. Also, all outside chairs were covered in spiderwebs.

Weekend Birding

Very pleasant place to stay! I wish we had a little extra time to sit on the dock or play the giant Jenga in front solarium/covered porch. We still managed to have a campfire after our birding excursions at least. I definitely recommend staying here if you can and we'll certainly consider coming back here in the future.

Leamington sumer 2023

Helene & Al's place was wonderful. The listing was as described and to be honest it was even nicer than we expected. The house is well stocked for a family, couples or friends stay. Quiet area and the deck overlooking the lake was lovely. The sound of the waves lapping on the breakwater was the perfect place to relax and unwind. If you're planning on staying in the Leamington/Kingsville area, this is the perfect place. ❤️

Come for the views, stay for the amenities

Loved Helene & Al's Lake Houz. It was one of the most well-stocked within the kitchen and the bathrooms as well! Enjoyed the jacuzzi tub in the upper floor bathroom. The views are absolutely amazing. It is peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing getaway with a small group. We also brought our dog and she had fun with the small box of toys available. Helene & Al were excellent communicators - with detailed instructions and answered questions promptly. Overall just a beautiful stay in Leamington - close to Point Pelee Park, and the town to stock up on anything else you need (although we barely needed to go anywhere else because it was such a cozy stay) Thank you Helene & Al!!!

Beautful cottage and property

We had an amazing stay at Helene and Al's Lake Houz. The loft area with attached spa like ensuite is a dream. The kitchen had everything and anything you could need to prepare meals and the large dining table made it easy to enjoy them. The outside areas are set up perfectly to enjoy the OMG lake views or to relax by the fire and roast some marshmallows. The sunroom was perfect to sip morning coffee while reading or doing a puzzle. Helene and Al have thought about it all. All the amenities you could need in a home away from home. The location is perfect, a short drive to Pelee Point National Park or the town of Leamigton, yet just far enough away to be away from the hustle. Make sure to go for a sundown walk to enjoy the fireflies, so magical!

A Serene Getaway with Unparalleled Comfort - We'll Be Back!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom lakefront VRBO, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the pristine cleanliness and the incredible level of comfort provided by this marvelous retreat. It's safe to say that we will definitely be renting this property again in the future. The first thing that struck us was the impeccable cleanliness of the entire home. It was evident that the homeowners took great pride in maintaining a spotless environment for their guests. Every corner, every surface, and every room was flawlessly clean, and we immediately felt at ease knowing that hygiene was a top priority. The level of comfort offered at this lakefront getaway was truly exceptional. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and featured luxurious bedding that enveloped us in a cocoon of relaxation each night. The bathrooms were equally impressive, with modern fixtures and an abundance of fresh, fluffy towels. The living area boasted cozy furniture that invited us to unwind, and the fully equipped kitchen provided us with everything we needed to prepare delicious meals during our stay. One aspect that stood out to us was the outstanding communication with the homeowners. From the moment we made our booking inquiry until the day of our departure, they were prompt, friendly, and attentive to all our needs. They provided us with detailed information about the property, including local attractions a

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!
