You can also go for a tour of the little towns or local breweries/wineries; explore the local provincial parks for a bike ride or hike; come stay and your adventure begin!
You’ll love cooking a delicious meal in the stocked kitchen or grilling outside on the Propane BBQ. At night enjoy marshmallows around the fire pit or hang out inside playing board games or foosball.
Outside you’ll enjoy a back patio to entertain or relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. You can also soak in the gorgeous views of Lake Erie before sundown each day by the beach!

PLEASE NOTE
Heads up! Since we’re in a rural town, the internet may occasionally go out, but outages are rare and usually last less than an hour.
Being in the countryside means you’ll be close to farm fields and forests—so expect nature! In spring, harmless gnats can swarm if lights are on and doors/windows are open, so keep them shut. Mosquitoes, flies, and other bugs are common in warmer months, so bring repellent. Our cleaners do their best, but a few critters may still sneak in—it’s all part of country living!
Do not trespass on our neighbours property, our yard is large enough to enjoy. You can see the property line as our grass is cut. The pond behind our house is on private property and not available to use (It's not safe to swim in anyways!).
As of February 2025: The flooring near the primary bedroom has some visible cracks. It’s glued down, mostly covered by a rug, but please be mindful when walking barefoot.
