Awesome House. Very modern and elegant. Beautiful view . We stayed for my sons wedding at Spruce wood Winery. Will Defiantly Stay here again.
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.
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 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!
