About this property

Cozy Lakefront Cottage - Private Beach

A well maintained, lakefront, 4 season cottage with a private beach. A large hanging deck gives you a wonderful space to watch Grand Bend’s famous sunsets and a short 15 steps staircase takes you right to the water. The cottage is an open concept cozy space with 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with bunk beds (single). There is also a loft (with 2 queen mattresses) accessed by a ladder. A small patio at the front of the house is a warm spot for coffee in the morning. 5 minute drive to Grand Bend and 10 minute drive to Bayfield.

Please note: guests required to provide their own bedsheets, linens, and towels.

The perfect escape.

Fred's cottage surpassed our expectations from the amenities, access to the private beach, fire pit, outside shower and minutes away from Grand Bend. Very clean and had everything we needed for a quick getaway. The host, Fred, was incredibly kind and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. We already hope to return this summer!

This is what lakefront / beach house should be like (and great location too)

The lakefront / beach experience is in every detail of this house and the grounds around it: the amazing deck with the view; well-planned house with big windows overlooking the lake; a convenient pathway to a sandy beach. The house is clean, and with well-kept amenities, and so is the surrounding area. Would love to come back there again.

This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. We went for our honeymoon and couldn't be happier! The hostess also left us some "Congratulations" flowers. The water on the lake changes colour often. The view of the water is magnificent! Sunsets are gorgeous! The place was immaculately clean. We highly recommend this place and we plan to return next year.

Perfect Location

This cottage is perfectly situated right on the beach with a two-level deck overlooking the lake. Its own direct access to the beach gives you miles of waterfront walking. It's close to Grand Bend, The Pinery and Goderich making lots of options for day trips. The kitchen is well-stocked and the furnishings comfortable.

Great and beautiful place

Fred’s cottage is a clean and well organized place. There’s beautiful lake view, outdoor shower, BBQ, and all kitchen utensils which I actually didn’t need to bring my own stuff ^^. My family ( 2 adults n 1 child) had a great time. The owner was very kind and sent all messages promptly whenever I asked any questions. Thanks Fred and hope we can come back again!
