There's no place like the cottage! Beautiful cozy cottage, minutes from beach

There's no place like the cottage! It’s a beautiful, fully updated cottage which is located in a quiet cottage community off Lake Huron. Can be used year-round so you can enjoy the dazzling summer days as well as the winter wonderland. It offers air conditioning, heat and a cozy fireplace. This is the first time we are offering the cottage to renters.

Our 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage is just the place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life while enjoying the beachside community. We are just 2 minutes from private beach access and a 10-minute walk to the popular historic Point Clark lighthouse and main beach. You can enjoy swimming at the beach and majestic sunsets. A boat launch is also at the lighthouse.

This cottage sleeps 6 comfortably, can easily accommodate up to 8. It’s well stocked with everything you need, just pack your bags and enjoy!

The deck offers a huge umbrella for shade, perfect for lounging on the outdoor furniture. The back deck has a gas BBQ for all of your grilling needs, if open flame cooking is more your style there is a cooking grill for the firepit. Spend all day outside on the large property that is surrounded with trees for privacy, the space offers plenty of room to spread out and play lawn games or have a water fight. At night, gaze up at the breathtaking stars.

The cottage was clean and the area around is very nice. We liked the little private beach, nice to watch sunsets from there! And the public beach is very close by car. The cottage was fine. But for the price we paid I would expect better quality of mattresses and sheets (amazons basics polyester sheets are not ideal). We contacted the host upon arrival just to say that everything was fine (via text message), but received no response. Since we did not have any issues, it was fine not to receive a reply, but would be better for our message to be acknowledged.

Great spot for a relaxing long weekend with family
This was a great spot for a family of four and a couple of grandparents for a long weekend! It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the front deck and a few board games. It is really close to the beach to watch stunning sunsets and to the Point Clark lighthouse beach too! The host was very responsive, which is a bonus!

Lovely spot
Point Clark is about 1k away and has a sandy beach with easy access to the lake which was important to us because my mom is in her 80's. There is a much closer beach which would be perfect for most people however, for my mom it was too rocky. The neighbourhood is very quiet. The cottage is extremely well stocked. We would certainly go back.

Highly recommended
Our stay was great, the location is perfect! There were two issues, a small blood stain and other minor stains on the bedsheet on the master bed, and the top oven hadn't been cleaned and started smoking when were preheating it. This did not stop us having a wonderful time. Communication with Jessica was fast and professional.

This cottage met and went far beyond my expectations, we truly enjoyed our stay and will happily book it again. Our host Jessica was great at sharing the information needed, and when we requested to have an extra night, she communicated promptly and made the process painless. We are definitely looking forwards to booking again!
