The house had everything you could want and more. The whole place is recently updated. It exceeded my expectations. Every nice having 2 full bathrooms. I’d love to stay again. The extras in the kitchen like butter and half & half were appreciated! We tried fishing but no luck. Only thing better is if we caught some fish ;)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The Victorola and the selection of music was an added bonus. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the upper patio while watching the Neighbourhood eagle and various other sea birds. We even had a surprise visitor, the local groundhog. Everything we could possibly want to make our stay enjoyable with furnished. We loved our stay at the Lakeview retreat.

Great Getaway on the Erie Shore

Cleanliness impeccable.Very well equipped. Great setting directly on Lake Erie Shore.Enjoyed the great views of the Lake from the sun & dining rooms and from the outdoor patio and the back bedroom and adjoining upper deck. We especially enjoyed the sunsets from the small back yard patio overlooking the lake.
