Wonderful stay at the Lake House

The cottage is tastefully decorated and very spacious and comfortable. It’s very well stocked. The view of the lake is fantastic, especially in the heavy winds when the waves were wild. Love the old Maple Tree in the back. Glad there is a BBQ to cook the steaks. I would definitely recommend Jackie’s cottage and would go back again. Jackie was was very responsive to any questions.

Excellent location and place to stay...highly recommended!

We enjoyed Pelee Point National Park and area during the day, and found this house to be a great place to relax and unwind after a busy day. The house is very comfortable and well stocked to meet all our needs. We particularly enjoyed our dinner in the front room with a fantastic view of the lake so even though a storm passed through we were still able to enjoy the ambience of being so close to the water. Communication with the owner was great. No negatives at all -- would stay here again in a heartbeat if we are in the area sometime in the future.

Home Away From Home

What an amazing property, amazing breathtaking views! The cottage is cozy and comfortable with all the amenities needed. I have stayed at many cottages and this by far was the best sleep I have had yet! Bed was fantastic! The added perk of antenna tv allowed me to watch some Thanksgiving football, and the wifi worked well to stream some shows on my tablet. Jackie is such a personable and friendly host, I couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you so much for all the personal touches that made me feel so welcome, I will definitely be back in the near future!

Do not rent 328 Lakeview Ave

Shame on the property owner to rent out a property that needs lots of work, mainly on the kitchen floor. What is going on under the mat infront of the kitchen sink? It felt like I was going to fall through the floor. It was disgusting. The snow was not property removed and just a sheet of ice.I saw good reviews that is why I felt comfortable renting the property. I suspect the previous reviews were from people with low standards.Please do yourself a favour and rent somewhere else.

Beautiful Lake View

We traveled with our family of 6 from the US for our first trip to Canada. The house had everything we needed! The pots and pans were good enough and there were plenty of plates/bowls/cups. Having a laundry machine was so nice since we went to the beach. The inside of the house was well taken care of and the beds were comfortable enough. The kids loved the walk-in shower with all of the different shower heads. The view of the lake was lovely. I was a bit worried reading one of the other reviews about cleanliness, but we thought that house was nice and clean. The outside could perhaps use a pressure wash, but that doesn't bother us. There are two nice seating areas. We didn't use the one on the front of the house, but we spent a lot of time on the lake side. We enjoyed the firewood provided and made smores. Both houses next to us didn't have people hanging outside while we were there, so it felt like our own little slice of the lake. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful home with amazing view

This house was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need. The view is amazing and it was a very relaxing stay. It was a quiet location and the host Jackie went over and above with making the home cozy and welcoming. There were yummy muffins waiting for us and little chocolates as well. I highly recommend staying here. It was well priced and there is no way you would leave disappointed. Great location with lots to do in the local area. Very charming, and quaint.

Perfect getaway

We booked this cottage for my parents for a getaway and couldn’t be happier we did. They had a great time and came back raving about their stay. They said the place was spotless, beds were very comfortable, and the home was perfect for relaxing to the sounds of the water right outside your windows. The area was great, close to wineries to visit and the national park to go exploring in. Communications with Jackie (the owner) were seamless, she checked in throughout the stay to make sure everything was good. They would definitely go back again, and we’re even considering booking for ourselves for a weekend getaway without the kids! Thanks Jackie!

Perfect for what we needed

This was a great alternative to renting a hotel room. We had a wedding in town and this was a more economical option. We had plenty of space to get ready for the wedding. Everything we needed was at our finger tips. It was nice to have the ironing board and iron available for use. The view was awesome! Jackie could not have been a better host. We would definitely come back again.

We loved staying at Jackie’s lake house. The property is clean and well-maintained and close enough to the beach for the waves to lull one to sleep. The house is bright and sunny and welcoming. Communication with Jackie was excellent. We loved it so much we booked again for an upcoming trip!
