About this property

Ideally located on Pelee Island’s North Bay, Forest & Feather Lakehouse is a magical cottage getaway that features stunning views of the lake. Situated on nine acres of bird-filled, Carolinian forest with a gorgeous walking trail, this charming four bedroom cottage is an idyllic island retreat for reconnecting with nature, friends and family. Starlink Satellite provides high speed internet!

Wake up to birdsong and enjoy your morning coffee on one of two large decks with waterfront views. Swim in the lake. Walk to The Dog and Goat restaurant for dinner on the deck. Relax with a glass of Pelee Island wine on the deck as the sun sets. Get lost in a good book (there’s lots to choose from at the cottage!). Make memories by the bonfire.

Forest & Feather Lakehouse was built in the early 20th century by a ship's captain who operated the Pelee Island ferry for decades. Set on a beautiful treed lot, the classic, light-filled cottage offers unparalleled lake views. The cottage is a Sears Craftsman kit home built on part of an original subplot created before Pelee's marshes were drained in the late 1800s.

Inside, the living room has two large picture windows for viewing Pelee's sunrises and sunsets, a large flatscreen TV and plenty of comfortable seating.

Forest & Feather Lakehouse is located right in the centre of Pelee's North Shore. The Bakery, the Pelee Co-Op Grocery Store, The Dog and Goat restaurant, and the Filling Station restaurant (psst… they have soft-serve ice cream!) are all within walking distance.

Please note, we purchased the cottage in 2022, so reviews prior to that time were when the cottage was under different ownership.

Beautiful waterfront cottage

Just like the photos - well-appointed and stylishly decorated cottage. Waterfront views were gorgeous especially from the lakeside deck. Hosts were responsive, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Magical

Wow!!! Pelee island is an amazing little peace of paradise where you can really sit back and relax. The forest and feather lake house is the best place to do just that! Such a cute cozy very well decorated and equipped cottage. We loved sitting on the front porch reading listening to the water in the mornings and then having campfires right by the water at night. There are lots of games, movies and books to keep you occupied. A must read is the Pelee project by Jane Christmas. And we loved the record player so much we ordered the same one! Thank you Christina for letting us spend 5 days in heaven at your beautiful cottage. We will definitely book again next year if not in the fall :)

Half marathoners

We were a group of six friends, all doing the Pelee Island Winery Half Marathon. We stayed 3 nights. The weather was warm but with open windows and fans we stayed comfortable. We cooked and found the kitchen very well equipped. The size of the cottage was more than enough for us. Another bathroom would have been great but we managed fine. There are LOTS of movies, puzzles and other indoor entertainment available. Depending on plans most of us were able to get internet and phone reception. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
