The KingFisher Lakehouse: Your Lakeside Haven

The only thing I would improve is a garbage can by the sink. Absolutely stunning place. Peaceful, quiet, unbelievable sunsets and sunrises. Spotless. Point Pelée park is mere 3 minutes away. I enjoyed every second.

2-bedroom with hot tub,200 steps from the beach

SamRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

It's a 'Shore' thing - Executive Retreat

NaderRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

Erie Shores Cottages

DotRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

"That 70's Cottage" (on Lake Erie!) Free Firewood!

DianaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
A very cozy cabin and great location. The cabin was a perfect place to spend time with family or friends. It was a pleasant time spent with my family. The first two days we had a pleasant weather, so we went to beach. The beach is perfect for family with kids, and has a very nice restaurant close by where we could have lunch together. Next two days, the weather changed but we gladly stayed at the cabin, and enjoyed the fire pit, barbecue by the picnic table, and Jenga (they have a big Jenga). The pool table also made the nights more special. They have bikes available but we didn’t have a chance to use it but I think they are a bonus. We will definitely come back!

DennisRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Creekside cottage is a quiet, peaceful place to relax and enjoy the calm and serenity of nature. The host's did a great job with the decor and ambiance of the place. It has a warm and welcoming feel to it. We stayed three nights and had a great time, (walk to the park, the beach, the bakery). This is one of the best vacation destinations out there. Thank you Lindsey and Dylan.

LAKE Escape Retreat - Onsite Beach Dock Waterfront

YeuRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
What a memorable weekend! Tim was a superhost. He was very responsive and understanding. We arrived in town Friday, hoping to do some fishing around the area before checking in. Unfortunately, the weather was very cold and windy and our check in was not until 4pm. Tim was awesome and allowed us to check in early at noon to seek shelter for us, ladies, while the men brave the windy weather to fish on the dock. FISH ON!! BEST TIME EVER!! They caught a fish every 5 minute and the feeling was intoxicating! Even some of us ladies pulled fish in!! Thank you, Tim for being so accommodating and allowing us to experience this abundant fishing experience. We will most definately be back!

Carolyn's Cottage, quiet and cosy!

D Denise HartRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Quiet, pastoral setting with large trees and established gardens - very large backyard. Great screened in porch. Best stocked kitchen - way more utensils, cutlery, knives, dishes, small appliances, etc. than typical. Felt like a "home" - not just bare basics - tastily decorated, a step back in time, but well maintained, clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend "Carolyn's Cottage"!

A Lakeside View

AnneRating, 5 stars7 months ago
A GEM BY THE LAKE - With its lakeside location in a quiet neighbourhood, Rosanne’s property is super welcoming with a well equipped, large kitchen-cum-dining space, facing north, which is open to the south (back) great room, with its comfy sofas and chairs, games equipment and desk with brochures of local area points of interest, maps, etc. Through floor to ceiling windows of the great room, you’ll be treated to magnificent views of the lake inviting you onto the outdoor verandah to enjoy the sights and sounds (sunrises, sunsets) that’ll wow you! The second floor main suite is idyllic - a huge south-facing room with loveseat, ensuite bathroom, humongous closet and a balcony with comfy seating. Two more bedrooms (north facing) are on 2nd floor, with a 4th downstairs (west-facing). Another bathroom (east side) is also downstairs. Every space is extremely clean, well decorated but not cluttered. One of THE best homes we’ve experienced. Thank you Rosanne for hosting us and our pups.

Beach House Point

PaulaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

Bella Vista - Cedar Island Kingsville, Lakefront!

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our family was so grateful to be able to stay in such a beautiful location after a long drive for a family wedding - so much nicer than a hotel. The hosts were responsive and helpful and keep their cottage in pristine condition. They were incredibly thoughtful and even went to extra effort to bring us an iron and left us with gifts from local shops. Check out was very simple compared to most places. We enjoyed the amazing view of Lake Erie and would definitely stay again if in the area.

East Shore Escape – Pelee’s Best Sunrise Views

JohnathanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Keith made check in easy and straightforward. His cottage is clean, with an open layout. The sun porch is large and gorgeous, facing a nice sandy beach and spectacular views of the lake (there is even a tv and swing on the porch!). The living room is very open, with huge windows facing the lake and beautiful sunlights. It was a very comfortable stay. The set up really makes you feel at home. Even though the cottage is pet-friendly, it is very clean and there is no pet odour! He includes helpful information when you arrive, including a helpful map of the island, marked with the locations of important and recommended places on Pelee. He even has a fun scavenger hunt to help you get to know the cottage and the island! The cottage is in a nice part of the island, near the lighthouse and not far from the snack bars in Scutter. Keith quickly responded to our questions and was available if we had anything to ask. It was an all-around great experience with an excellent host. Thanks Keith!
