CHARLIE'S RETREAT:
Welcome to Charlie's Retreat! LAKEFRONT LIVING!
This two bedroom property is all about the water featuring one of the closest and safest views of beautiful Lake Erie on its expansive back deck. The master bedroom is one of a very few on the block with a full on view of Erie's sunrise in the am. Grab your coffee and watch it happen!
We feature a modest kitchen/living room area, a beautiful pine sunroom with yet another beauty Erie view. We have a one room bedroom upstairs featuring a queen bed. Continuous off season upgrades to Charlie's Retreat keep our regular clients returning year after year. Let's start by having you be one of them as well.
ATTENTION ECO TOURISM CLIENTS. Launch your kayaks right from our back door and enjoy a picturesque view of Lake Erie on your way to newly formed HILLMAN BAY (approx. 30+ minutes) & Point Pelee (approx. 50+ minutes)! Lake Erie has recently cut its way into Hillman marsh forming what some locals refer to as the new Hillman Bay. Check out its small sand island and long spit jutting out all along the newly formed area.

Local beaches are just two minutes away (Wheatley harbour, Holiday harbour and our favourite ...Hillman Marsh North beach is only five minutes away.

You can also bring your boat and trailer and enjoy world class Rainbow, Walleye, Salmon and Perch fishing (seasonal). Boat launch is only a stone's throw away.
Don't have a boat? We'll arrange an experienced fishing charter to show you the time of your life on Lake Erie.

| Charlie's retreat was indeed that?a reprieve and retreat from the city in a beautiful location. Located directly on Lake Erie, we were able to enjoy sunrises every morning, birds of all kinds, a cozy interior, and a spectacular main bedroom with a view of the water. From Charlie's, we were easily able to explore Point Pelee, Pelee Island, local wineries, Sandy beaches at Point Pelee National Park, cute shops in Leamington and Kingsville, and obtained freshly caught Pickerel 5 minutes away. Taylor's Fish and Chips was a particular treat, also very close by. The local wine was surprisingly good and reasonably priced, in my opinion better quality and in many cases older vines than Niagara. Jeff was a gracious host; very responsive and providing us with some firewood for the lovely fire pit, at which we sat at night watching the stars. It was an overall extremely relaxing experience and we will be returning again. The cottage was stocked with everything you will need to enjoy your time away with little hassle. Very much worth the drive from Toronto. Highly recommended.

| We recently had the opportunity to stay 1 week at Charlie's Retreat followed by a week at Sun Sets on 43. Both cottages are wonderful and offer different aspects to enjoy. Charlie's is right on the lake, Sun Sets backs onto a field with beautiful sunsets. Both cottages are well maintained, clean and well supplied. Jeff and Wendy are continually improving both properties to keep them current and comfortable. Thank you. We will be back. Connie & Jack

| This is a very comfortable cottage. Nothing has been overlooked. Everything has been thoughtfully provided. All the appliances worked well and some were brand new. The furniture wasn't falling apart like some cottages we have rented. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable. The entire cottage and property are well maintained. It was a pleasure to stay there. Any questions or small issues were quickly dealt with. Thank you Wendy & Jeff. We won't hesitate to rent your cottage again. Connie & Jack

| Quel endroit magnifique directement au bord du lac Érié. Les levers de soleil sont splendides! Chalet confortable avec terrasse fermée très apprécié. Les lieux sont paisibles. Le parc national de Pointe-Pelée est à 20 minutes et Détroit, Michigan, USA (nous avons visité l'usine de Ford) est à environ 1 heure. Pour terminer, merci beaucoup pour la belle attention que vous avez eue à notre égard pour souligner nos 30 ans de vie de couple, nous avons été très touchés. Je vous recommande cet endroit sans hésitation ! Merci pour tout Jeff!

| Just returned home from a great stay at the cottage. Perfect getaway to relax. Close enough to conveniences, yet tucked nicely off the grid overlooking beautiful Lake Erie. Sitting on the expansive back deck, looking out at the lake was mesmerizing. Plenty of natural beauty and parks nearby to keep us entertained, along with the summer events in downtown Wheatley. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Wendy and Jeff, thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us.
Nancy and John
