We could not have picked a better home to spend our first anniversary. Beautiful sunset views, friendly neighbors, excellent restaurants and wineries nearby.
This is a lovely property in a quaint and picturesque location. Everything was as advertised and Tess was available if we needed anything but we did not. Beautiful home and will definitely return
The location was great. The views were awesome and the house was very clean.The owner paid attention to every last little detail.Made our stay very comfortable.
Our host Tessa was very welcoming and with any questions was quick to reply in a timely manner. Was a Fabulous location,the house was very clean and organized. Definitely was a great location for day trips in any direction. We would highly recommend for a weekend or a week .
Beautiful perfect cottage. Love the private beach The owner is amazing. She answered all my questions very quickly . You can’t ask for a cleaner cottage. Generous with towels, coffee , shampoo , conditioner and much more
Beautiful VRBO right on the shores of Lake Erie; probably one of the nicest properties we have stayed at. Tessa was very responsive regarding the process, questions etc. Our friends and we enjoyed the property and would definitely come back.

Awesome House. Very modern and elegant. Beautiful view . We stayed for my sons wedding at Spruce wood Winery. Will Defiantly Stay here again.
Very comfortable, clean and well appointed. Supplied with all we needed. Tessa was always fast to respond to our needs. A perfect getaway for a few days.
Went for a girls wine weekend. The house was great with relaxing waterfront views and location to wineries. Tessa was communicative and pointed us in the right direction for restaurant suggestions. Her neighbors were friendly too giving us some history of the area.
This property was excellent! Looks brand new, incredibly clean, and well appointed with anything you could think of. The house is steps away from the water's edge and has great outdoor amenities like a grill, fire pit and seating. The town is quaint and there are some great local restaurant options close by. Highly recommend!
The cottage is absolutely beautiful! Had an amazing time with friends. Already booked for next year. Tessa is a great host. Very easy to deal with and very accommodating. Thank you Tessa for great memories.
Communication with Tessa was easy and timely. Location was waterfront and perfectly situated between wineries and conservation areas. Cottage had all the amenities. Expect to be back, thank you!
Beautiful Cottage . So very clean, new ,spacious , clean private beach. Amazing 2nd floor balcony. The owner was very easy to get hold of with a quick response. Worth the money. 20 out 10 . Will definitely rent it again. Thank you to the owner
This property boasts a modern vibe with a relaxing backyard and beach. It is nice to sit in the backpatio or even just in the master bedroom patio and hear the waves. We were hoping to stargaze a bit but it is close to other homes which would make it difficult (due to light pollution). Either way, it was a rainy night so we ended up enjoying listening to rain and thunder that night. Very close to wineries and we were able to visit four of them that's close by in just one afternoon. Another really nice gesture by our host was the two half bottles of wine left for us, both white and red wine. We were there to celebrate our anniversary. We were planning on dinner at coopers hawk but turns out they close at 3pm so we ended up buying groceries at the nearby grocery store in harrow and had our dinner at the house. Dinner turned out better than we planned and the wine was perfect! We had everything we needed to cook our food. Plenty of towels available. This property could comfortably accomodate up to 3 couples.
This property was one of the nicest we have rented. The location, the cleanliness, the amenities were all great and the host was so friendly and helpful. Thank you Tessa.
Relaxing, great location. Would have spent more time outside on the deck if it wasn’t for the rain and wind, but what can you expect for October. Still comfortable inside though. Thx for the use of your cottage.
Loved the comfortable, clean cottage and the fantastic view and sounds of Lake Erie.
Beautuful sunrises and sunsets ,surrounded by nature! The cottage had all the conveniences and the beds were very comfortable!
