Hawk-Watching Weekend
We rented the cottage in order to visit the Hawk Tower in the Essex Cty Conservation Area. It was the perfect convenient location and a cozy place to relax after a day spent outdoors. We'd recommend it to anyone looking for a special way to enjoy the comforts of home in a beautiful natural setting. It was our third visit and we look forward to coming back again.

Highly Recommend
I would highly recommend this property. There was plenty of room for our family of 4, the amenities were great for our stay, the property had both beach access and access to trails and different places to explore outside. The communication for check in procedures was smooth and we had no issues while on the property. We are looking forward to going back again.

Time went by too quickly
This was our second time at the cottage and we are already planning for next year. We especially love how secluded and private the area is. And every morning being able to have coffee while watching bunnies and squirrels and listening to the host of songbirds is so very peaceful and relaxing. Wonderful stay!

Favourite retreat
This is a gem - I hesitate to review it because I wish it could remain a hidden gem but it is owned by a conservation authority so they deserve all the rental income they can get. That really says it all - a beautifully outfitted cottage in a conservation area on the beach. I breath better as soon as I arrive...

Fabulous, clean location with the glorious park to yourself in evenings! The only drawback is the very noisy air-conditioning/furnace system and water tank. But I would return for a third stay.

We enjoyed the stay immensely. Recommend it highly. Do not expect to find any food stuffs or spices in the kitchen. We were surprised that even salt and pepper were absent. Bring EVERYTHING you need and have a wonderful experience.

A two-day getaway to remember
The cottage is relatively new, and well kept. Someone has given a lot of thought to the needs of guests, well provided for with linen and paper products [thank you!]. The cottage-keeper obviously takes pride and care in this property. Nice job! Thank you too ERCA for the opportunity this cottage offered us for such a refreshing stay "in nature".

We Loved It!
Tastefully but practically decorated. We all had our own level of privacy due to the layout. Loved the secluded site. Central air and a dishwasher were a bonus that we have never before enjoyed at any of our previous cottages. We will definitely be back!

A quiet retreat
This is a pretty little cottage in a private setting with many mature trees, and a short walk to the beach. You can see the lake from the cottage.The cottage is very clean and well-stocked with all of the supplies you will need. If you plan to cook, just bring your favourite spices. The cottage is a short drive to several local wineries that have good restaurants. We enjoyed Paglione for pizza, Cooper's Hawk for lunch, North 42 for lunch and dinner and View Pointe for a light lunch and a beautiful vista of Lake Erie. With one bathroom the cottage is perfect for a couple, or a couple with 1 - 2 kids. It will accommodate more if everyone gets along ;) Enjoy, relax, and bring your binoculars.
