Old Friends Getaway
This was a perfect spot for us to gather for our girls getaway. So close to the park as well as the towns for dining and wine tasting. The home was so warm and lovely.

Amazing beach front property
What an amazing lake house! The pictures are spot on! Exactly as described. Very clean and nicely equipped with everything you need. The location was perfect! The beach was spectacular! Literally 15 steps from the large deck with lots of seating and lounging options. We had an amazing time! Highly recommend this property!

Nice waterfront cottage
Very nice place. Super clean and very well maintained. This cottage is right on the water with steps from the deck down to the beach. Be cautious if entering the water as winds can change quickly and can cause some very rough conditions. Walking along the beach to the national park was a great experience despite the strong winds and -13 C wind chill!

Relaxing Getaway
From Central Ohio and was looking for a relaxing trip within 5 hours drive with waterfront views and when Leamington popped up in searches, it fit the bill. The property was comfortable and the host provided everything I needed for my stay from toiletries to spices and cookware. I chose this property because of the covered deck and it being only steps down to the water and it was as the profile presented. I spent time on the deck listening to the waves everyday. It wasn’t the best time of year to see wildlife at the park but it is just down the road and has so many options for those that enjoy outdoor activities. Enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend for a couple or small family.

Property is A++ decor is so cute. Tiny little gem on private beach.
Would have given 5 stars foe cleanliness but the outside space on the deck is loaded with spiders. All the chairs, tent etc is covered in spiderweb and spiders. Would be nicer if the outdoor space was hosed down before guests come. Other than that the cottage is absolutely gorgeous 😍

Julia Kennedy Lake House
Our stay happened to coincide with Mayfly mating season, which was a real show of nature. Every surface of every single thing was covered in them. While this is not the proprietor’s fault, and is pretty harmless of an issue, potential customers should be aware, as it could stifle your enjoyment and use of the property pretty dramatically. The private beach and water access is obviously the crowning jewel in the property and was AMAZING! The house itself is as advertised, which is to say clean and lovely, but very small. This wasn’t a big issue as we spent all our time outside, however having any more than one child in the space could become challenging for some. I found the current property manager, which for some reason I am not allowed to name - to be somewhat curt, but everyone is allowed to have a personality. Overall, while I don’t think the property fits our needs for another visit, I do think that most people and families can have a wonderful time at this property, and I do recommend a stay here.

Beautiful Escape
What an fantastic vacation. The cottage is small, perfect for a family of three. It was extremely clean and well stocked. The deck and private beach outside is amazing and the sunsets were breathtaking. We will definitely be back.

Tiny but amazing
Very small but really well laid out cottage and beautifully kept up. Plenty of everything that some other places don't offer, like towels, shampoo, tea/coffee, etc. Fantastic location - 10 minute walk to the park. Only thing is the listing says sleeps 6 which is true, 6 people could sleep there, but it would be pretty crowded. I found it just the right size for 3 of us. Me and my family would definitely stay there again.

Nice beachfront cottage
Nice beachfront cottage with gorgeous sunsets. Bedrooms have essentially no space for clothing so don’t take much! The deck could be amazing but was not well maintained. We loved the paddle boards.

Beautiful place and location. The house is very clean, nicely decorated and with all you need to just relax and enjoy the beach and lake. Walking distance to Point Pelee, including the park pass! ++ Had a minor issue with the check in, but the owner responded quickly. Thank you!!

Perfect Getaway!
Cute and cozy cottage with incredible views of the lake from the cottage, deck and private beach! Just what the two of us needed for a couple of days of R and R. Lots of amenities and complimentary pass to Point Pelee Park too! Our host Paul was very friendly, responded quickly and was able to be flexible with check out time which we appreciated a lot. Great location with Freddy’s restaurant just down the road. Highly recommend! Taryn and Eric
