Another world

This was our second time staying at this property, and it was just as peaceful as we remembered. The accommodations are spread out as such that you can stay with plenty of people and not feel like you’re on top of one another. If the breeze is blowing, the water against the rocks feels like the ocean! Almost like you’re in the Caribbean! The property is well appointed. Kitchen has everything you might need. Looking forward to another great stay in the future!!

Great Getaway

Lovely setting at Pelee Island. You can have a beautiful view of Lake Erie and around the other side, a view of Lake Henry. We really enjoyed all the nature we saw. Swans, egrets, herons and so many other birds as well as turtles. I would say the only negative was beach access. We did know we would not have direct access and it was an easy walk to the access point. We are spoiled as in years past we had direct access to the beach. The cottage was great and the large kitchen accommodated our cooking and eating! As long time Pelee visitors, we enjoyed our stay and would get this cottage again! `

Restful getaway spot

Great spot to get away and unplug from reality. Only down fall is the amount of bugs if your not a fan would not advise. Need to plan accordingly prior to going as things to do is limited but the property is great!

R-Runaway On the Lake

A wonderful cottage and even more wonderful hosts. The cottage is well maintained with an excellent kitchen. The inside dining area has terrific views of the lake and boasts an efficient electric heater that takes the chill out of the inevitable chilly days that arrive. One of our favourite places to be!!
