This traditional Ontario cottage rental, Big Fun Little Cottage, is conveniently located in the town of Port Burwell, known as the "Jewel of Erie's North Shore". It is within easy walking distance of stores and restaurants and Port Burwell Beach. The beautiful sandy beach may be the focus of your excursion to Port Burwell and the shallow waters of Lake Erie create ideal swimming opportunities, and the beach is Blue Flag certified for water quality and environmental protection, making it a top destination for groups of all ages. In addition to the sandy beach, you'll find hiking trails, a cold-war era submarine, a marine museum and historic lighthouse, two marinas, and a Provincial Park. It is only a short drive from Toronto (just over 2 hours). Big Fun Little Cottage is a year-round rental, offering peace, relaxation, proximity to shopping and activities, nearby beaches, playgrounds, and parks, and a large, grassy yard that is perfect for playing games or having a nighttime campfire.

The cottage includes one bedroom with a bunk bed, which includes a double bed on the bottom and a single bed over top. In addition, the living room includes a pullout couch (double bed) for additional sleeping and a mattress topper is provided for additional comfort. The large screened-in porch is where you'll want to spend most of your time when at the cottage, providing a perfect space for a group dinner, board games or a few drinks when enjoying the fresh air. The kitchen is equipped with essential utensils, a fridge, hot plate, microwave, and air fryer (there is no stove, oven or dishwasher). There is a Smart TV with a Blu-ray player, and unlimited high-speed internet for your entertainment. The cottage includes a 3-piece bathroom (with accessible shower).

Outside, the large grass yard is perfect for playing games, and includes a fire pit and chimera. There is plenty of seating and the large screened-in porch (accessible from both the interior and exterior) includes a BBQ.

The village of Port Burwell itself is pleasantly quiet yet has many great restaurants, including Izzy Schooner's which is known for its fresh fish and is a short walk from the beach. Popular events like the famous Edison Fest, Port Burwell Tub Daze and the Straffordville Watermelon Fest offer tons of family fun in the area. There are also plenty of winter activities to enjoy in the area - ice fishing off Long Point or Port Rowan, ice skating in the park by the fire hall, tobogganing, or enjoying the trails at either Port Burwell or Long Point Provincial Park. Clovermead is also only a short drive and is perfect for a full day outing with the family.
