Cottage by the shore - Breathtaking views of Lake Erie - Leamington, Ontario

Enjoy our beautifully renovated and decorated home on Lake Erie. Beautiful private property with 150’ of waterfront. Enjoy lake views from every room in the house. The deck has been recently renovated and expanded. It now overlooks the beautiful lake making you feel as if you were lounging on the deck of a ship. The property is in a peaceful and secluded area of rural Leamington in a natural setting surrounded by trees right on beautiful Lake Erie. Imagine eating in the dining room, relaxing in the living room or sitting on the deck all while overlooking the vast and pristine Lake Erie. Enjoy waking up to a gorgeous sunrise over the lake or falling asleep to the waves and the motion of the water. If you need a place to relax or just a place to rest while visiting Leamington and the surrounding areas. This is your place.
The cottage is located ten minutes from Leamington and five minutes from Wheatley. There are many restaurants in either town as well as shopping and entertainment. We are located next to Hillman Marsh Conservation Area as well as Point Pelee National Park.
From our family to your family.
Make this your return vacation spot!

Lakehouse getaway
We were blown away by the views, seclusion, and impressive patio and grounds at the cottage. We had a relaxing five days, the cottage was clean and lovely and had all the amenities you’d expect to find at your home. We ate every meal on the patio overlooking the lake and woke up early most mornings to enjoy the spectacular view of the sun rising over the lake. Looking forward to our next visit!

Lovely spacious cottage
We had a terrific week at the ‘Cottage by the Shore’. It is a beautiful, bright, spacious and incredibly clean home. The cottage is well equipped and tastefully furnished. What stood out for us was how comfortable the beds and sofas were, so sleeping and relaxing at the cottage was a delight. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the large deck, reading and admiring the view, and enjoying many of our meals outdoors. Previous reviews mentioned the excessive amount of bugs and spiders on the deck. This was not our experience at all, other than the few bugs that one should expect being in a cottage by a lake! The cottage is private, the surrounding are quiet, and the garden area is beautifully maintained. One thing to mention is that the cottage is about a 20 minute drive to town so make sure you have all of your supplies and groceries so you don’t have to keep ‘popping out’ for stuff! Our host, Maria, was incredibly supportive and a pleasure to deal with. This is a very special place and we hope to return some time in the future.

Outstanding view
View of Lake Eire was outstanding...exactly as promised. Beach not a 5 to 10 minute walk around the corner. We did not originally realize that there was no wi fi at the cottage when we booked. Luckily. Maria pointed this out to us in our final confirmation so we came prepared...had printed out some local maps and local restaurant info before we arrived. Loved the location close to Point Pelee National Park and Hillman marsh.Maybe 10 15 minute drive into Leamington. Would definitely rebook.

Beautiful place on the water
Neat, tidy and well equipped cottage with large deck right on the water. We had fantastic weather and sitting on the deck was the best part. Deck is quite private as well, which was an added bonus. Owner was highly responsive and very friendly. Great stay and highly recommended.

If you are thinking of renting this location, DO NOT HESITATE!! The property is better than the owner's description and photos. We have rented this property three times in the past four years, and we will be renting again. Clean, clean, clean. The view of the lake is incredible and the area is very peaceful. Extremely good communication with the owner. I would give a six star rating if I could.

A quiet, beautiful property where you can sit on the deck listening to the waves gently lapping against the rocks and enjoy a constant breeze from the lake. The interior was immaculate and nicely set up. The host was very accessible and helpful. We look forward to returning. Thank you.

Without a doubt.. total relaxation! Perfect choice spending our honeymoon sitting on the massive deck, enjoying a few drinks while listening to the waves hitting the rocks. The cottage was beautiful and the location was perfect and easily accessible to nearby towns. Fantastic owners and just a call away if needed. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing!
Where do I start? The check in process was well organized. We were welcomed with a note from the owners that gave it that personal touch. It is a beautiful and bright cottage with the most incredible views from so many windows. I have stayed in a lot of cottages, and this is the first one that I could start enjoying my vacation right away. The cottage was so clean and had all of the essentials. The panoramic view of the water made the sunrises the highlight of my day. Relaxing around a fire was a great way to end the day. We had access to so many nearby trails and beaches. Pelee Provincial Park is a must. The Marsh Boardwalk is one of a kind. I would highly recommend visiting The Cottage By The Shore. I was sad to leave but l am already looking forward to our next visit.
