| We loved this cottage getaway! Do not hesitate to book - you'll have a great time. The view was amazing and we loved how quiet it was at night. Nothing but the sound of crickets and the waves hitting the shoreline. We especially loved the outdoor space and the fire pit. The kitchen was very well stocked and many extras were included that we didn't expect. Jason & Lisa were fabulous hosts - met us when we first arrived and gave us a quick tour and reached out mid week to see if everything was going well.

| We spent a week (August 2026) at this cottage in Selkirk on Lake Erie and it was such a lovely stay. The place was spotless from the moment we walked in — you could tell it's genuinely well cared for, not just tidied up for guests. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the whole space just felt fresh and welcoming the entire week.
The hosts were fantastic — they greeted us on arrival and walked us through the cottage, which made settling in so easy. That kind of warm, personal touch made the whole stay feel even better.
We loved that it came stocked with board games for evenings in, plus a paddle boards and kayaks for getting out on the lake — such a nice bonus that kept everyone entertained all week.
It made for such an easy, relaxing getaway. We'd happily book again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable home base near the lake.
Thank-you Jason and Lisa, see you next summer:)

| Lovely cottage. very clean and well equipped. great views, water is lovely past the rocky shoreline, we made good use of the paddle boards and kayaks. Fire pit was also fun, beds were comfortable. Rooms were a little small but it is a cottage not a house. Lovely stay great hosts. Good memories.
