Very cozy residence
We were there to bird. We had a few days of bad weather and hole up in the houz. It was so comfy. I don’t think I’ve weathered out storms in more comfortable digs. Nights were dark and quiet, making for sound sleep. The kitchen was well equipped and meal prep was easy.

Weekend Birding
Very pleasant place to stay! I wish we had a little extra time to sit on the dock or play the giant Jenga in front solarium/covered porch. We still managed to have a campfire after our birding excursions at least. I definitely recommend staying here if you can and we'll certainly consider coming back here in the future.

Absolutely stunning
This cottage proved to be the ideal retreat for us, two hardworking small business owners in search of a sanctuary for rejuvenation. Regardless of the weather, this haven offered comfort and solace. With the wood stove ablaze, I managed to immerse myself in my book and indulge in delicious snacks prepared in the cottage's exquisite kitchen.The addition of a jetted tub was an enjoyable luxury, and I eagerly anticipate our return. I can only envision the cottage's allure in the summertime. At moments, with the massive waves crashing against the rocks, it almost felt as if we were seaside. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and maintained excellent communication.

Lovely cozy get away in Winter and Summer
We stayed a couple of nights in early February and the heaters, including the wood stove, created a lovely cozy vibe. The place has lots of areas to sit and lounge. A nice backyard with view over Lake Eerie. The lake can also be enjoyed from the upstairs. The area is really nice and quiet. We enjoyed going to the Conservation Area and Point Pelee National Park (the Southern tip of Canada). Great experiences overall!

Adorable Cottage
Our 3 night stay was amazing! It was a beautiful cottage with lots of room and all the extra little touches to make it a very comfortable stay. The wood stove made for a very cozy atmosphere and the kitchen was large with all the best appliances. If you are looking for a place to unwind, this is the place! It's on our list to go agani!

Awesome cottage/home
What a wonderful accommodation! It had everything we needed and more! Very homey and so comfortable, awesome view, close to the National Park, trails, beaches, wineries. The weather wasn’t the greatest for us but we totally enjoyed ourselves because the house was open, roomy, space for puzzles, games and meals and just plain relaxation!! The photos are accurate, the home was clean and well cared for, Helene was a great host (she has thought of everything) from the time we booked months ago until we left. Definitely would recommend and would definitely stay again!! Janet

We wanted a couple of days away to go to a winery and relax by the water. This location was amazing for both. Relaxing, fully equipped, great location, waterfront and close to all amenities. Loved it and highly recommend it. Will definitely be returning.

We had a great time at Helene and Al's lake house. It truly was our home away from home this week (August 12-19th 2023). Our son loved having s'mores by the firepit and playing in the yard ❤️

Helene & Al's place was wonderful. The listing was as described and to be honest it was even nicer than we expected. The house is well stocked for a family, couples or friends stay. Quiet area and the deck overlooking the lake was lovely. The sound of the waves lapping on the breakwater was the perfect place to relax and unwind. If you're planning on staying in the Leamington/Kingsville area, this is the perfect place. ❤️

Come for the views, stay for the amenities
Loved Helene & Al's Lake Houz. It was one of the most well-stocked within the kitchen and the bathrooms as well! Enjoyed the jacuzzi tub in the upper floor bathroom. The views are absolutely amazing. It is peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing getaway with a small group. We also brought our dog and she had fun with the small box of toys available. Helene & Al were excellent communicators - with detailed instructions and answered questions promptly. Overall just a beautiful stay in Leamington - close to Point Pelee Park, and the town to stock up on anything else you need (although we barely needed to go anywhere else because it was such a cozy stay) Thank you Helene & Al!!!

Beautful cottage and property
We had an amazing stay at Helene and Al's Lake Houz. The loft area with attached spa like ensuite is a dream. The kitchen had everything and anything you could need to prepare meals and the large dining table made it easy to enjoy them. The outside areas are set up perfectly to enjoy the OMG lake views or to relax by the fire and roast some marshmallows. The sunroom was perfect to sip morning coffee while reading or doing a puzzle. Helene and Al have thought about it all. All the amenities you could need in a home away from home. The location is perfect, a short drive to Pelee Point National Park or the town of Leamigton, yet just far enough away to be away from the hustle. Make sure to go for a sundown walk to enjoy the fireflies, so magical!
