Quiet home by the lake, Point Pelee, Hillman Marsh
Quiet, clean, spacious, well-furnished and equipped. Very close to beautiful Lake Erie, Point Pelee National Park, Hillman Marsh and Wheatley Provincial Park. Ideal base for nature lovers and bird watchers chasing spring and fall migration, as we were. Though we were two friends sharing, this home would be great for a family or 2 to 3 couples. Thanks Ryan -- we'll be back!

Erie's Edge lakefront, Point Pelee, Hillman Marsh
Our stay here was wonderful...so many tiny details, that were unexpected, had been thought about. It's peaceful and private. The lake view is stunning. Thank you so much for ensuring our time away was spectacular.

Blue Beach House
The pictures don't do justice to how beautiful and quiet this home is. It is on a private road, right on the lake, with its own beach. Beth was always responsive, including sending in cleaners one day when we needed some help with some flying bugs that had managed to get in (not due to a flaw in the home). At some point we will be back to Kingsville and this is the home we will book!

Lake St. Clair Boathouse
Had an amazing stay here! Great peaceful location, responsive host, had everything we needed. It's a little small but absolutely perfect for what we needed. We went to a show at Freedom Hill and this was super close! Also there's a beautiful metro park in walking distance!! Will stay here again if we attend another show at freedom hill.

That place by the Lake
It's a great place to stay. Very clean, exactly as described. The only "complaint" we might have is there's only one roll of paper kitchen towel provided, so we needed to get some from Walmart. Other than that, we loved the place.

4) Jan-Feb Discounts! Hot Tub/ Lakefront
A peaceful getaway for our little family. It really does have everything for a relaxing stay. The view is amazing, the pool was nice and big very clean with tons of floats. The hot tub was great đ. Cooked out on the grill when it was nice out and ordered pizza and did a puzzles when it rained, we couldnât have gotten a more relaxing mini vacation. I will definitely tell friends and family about this location. Our dog đ loved the fenced in yard and we very much enjoyed the fire pit! If we actually knew how to kayak we definitely would have used what they provided. Donât hesitate with this hidden gem! You wonât regret it.

Waterfront Wine-Route Retreat "Luckystone Sound"
The most beautiful and peaceful location on a corner lot with the lake on one side and beach on other. Close to lots of touristy places and wineries.

The Jewell a Vintage 1964 A-frame
The perfect romantic getaway! My partner and I rented it as a mini-honeymoon after our wedding, and it was the perfect spot to unwind and refresh. The place struck a wonderful balance between feeling like home and an escape. With so many vintage games, art, and things to explore inside the house, we never left during our 2-day stay!

Detroit/Grosse Pointe Oasis
We have stayed at Danielâs apartment several times now. It is always comfortable, immaculate and convenient. This time the gardens and pots of annuals were incredible. Also enjoyed the thoughtful touch of bottled water in the fridge and coffee to go cups. We try to stay at Danielâs every time we come to Detroit.

Studio on the Beach
Beautiful place to visit. The studio was super clean, inviting and so comfortable. The view was beautiful- waking up to the sunrise every morning. A stone's throw to the beach, which was very clean and well kept. A great getaway for downtime and privacy. Not a lot to do other than the beach, but a state park only 15 minutes away. Would definitely book this place again!

48 on the Ave.
Steve & Lisa were great! Nice clean cozy peaceful space to relax and unwind. The beach across street is amazing and great for beach glass I went home with 50lbs!!!! I will definitely be back if I ever need somewhere to stay in Leamington

"Charlie's by the Bay" Unit 1
I was raised much of my younger years in New Baltimore. It's a great location near my family, high school friends, several restaurants, & the park on the bay. Many interesting area sites & museums are within an hour drive. Everything needed to be comfortable is within the unit. Gina, Thanks for being a good host.

Algonac 2BR | North Channel | Boat Parking

Park Bungalow #4 - Seacliff Beach Suites
Great stay at Jamie and Cindyâs! Wouldnât hesitate to book it again.

Lakeside Hydeaway Cottage on Lake Erie w/ Hot Tub
Such a perfect get away for my husbands 30th bday! The backyard is so perfect for a great sunny summer day! The beds are super comfy too!

Erie Shores Cottages
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. Iâve already recommended this place to friends. We will definitely book this again if we are in that area in the future.

A Lakeside View
Rosanne's home was perfect for our family. It's situated with a beautiful and peaceful view that both the humans and dogs enjoyed đ

Lakeshore Cottage Retreat
Best place to relax and enjoy your time off

Waterfront - Hot Tub - 3Bed Cottage - Pet Friendly
Beautiful location, loved the facilities especially the hot tub. Sumudu was really helpful when we couldnât get in and when we left an item at the cottage. Excellent host.

Sawiak Waterfront Haven
This was our second time staying at the property, first time as the bookers, and it was perfect again. cottage is well appointed with everything we needed and then some. beautiful property and very private with lots to do in the area. 10/10 will book again!

Waterfront Cottage near Beach - kayaks & game room
Wonderful stay in this space! Everything was exactly as described, and the water views from the bedrooms were lovely. Bright, open, and inviting space. Well stocked kitchen and linens. Loved the kayaks, and the fire pit - so nice that dry firewood was included. We donât make use of the game room, as the weather was perfect for relaxing outside, but it looks like a lot of fun! Very clear instructions, and friendly and responsive hosts. Would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing lakefront with boats near concerts &parks
This was the second time staying at Fran's place and we had a great stay. Fran's cottage is super cozy and well-appointed, with everything you need for cooking, whether you are preparing a simple meal or having a big BBQ. The couch is comfy and the beds are too. Since the front room window of Fran's cottage has an up close view of a small, uninhabited woody island, we didn't have to go very far for morning birdwatching! The cottage is in a small, quiet neighborhood and it feels very calm and far away from busy city life. However it's not a long drive to Detroit or other big cities/towns. We had some amazing canoe and kayak paddles on the lake and enjoyed seeing all the wildlife. The cottage is right on the water, so launching was simple. We especially appreciated that Fran took the extra time to leave nice snacks and coffee, much appreciated after a long trip.
