Great home to stay in for a group of friends or 2 families. Beach access is across the street and perfect for walks. The house is very clean and well appointed. Everything was thought of!
Great location and perfect for 2 families. The cottage had all amenities, was clean and the kitchen had everything they you could want.Great view of the lake.Perfect for a family vacation: The property exceeded our expectations.
Our family really enjoyed our stay. Toys for the kids, a short walk across the road to the private beach, great views of the water from the house, and a fire pit for s'mores in the evening. Great for a getaway!

Amazing. Let us know what we can do better to earn that fifth star. We want to make the experience magical for people.
Again, our stay at the Lakehouse was amazing. This house is so well designed & appointed. Joe & Jen are wonderful & thoughtful hosts. We're so grateful for the memories we made here this week with my Canadian family.
Beautiful home with access to private beach. Well-appointed in every way. The perfect place for our family vacation. Our hosts were wonderful and you can tell they take pride in their home. Thank you for sharing!
We've rented this spectacular property for 6 years in a row and will return every summer until our kids are all out of the house - and even then we still may head back. We love staying at the Richard's Lake House! There is a reason everyone gives it 5/5 stars!

We love having return renters each year. We try to update something each year so that there is something new for our renters. We look forward to seeing you come back year after year.
I would highly recommend this property. Owners were friendly and easy to work with. The property was thoughtfully set up inside and out. Everything was very clean and organized.
Beautiful Lake House. Stocked with everything you can think off, beds are good, comfortable sitting areas, lots of games and toys for the kids. Loved the deck and the screened-in porch. Will go back here in a heart-beat. Loved this place
We had an excellent week at the Lake House. The property was exactly as described. Clean, spacious with all of the necessities. Joe and Jen were great hosts and always responsive. We will definitely go back again.

We always love to host longer stays. We try hard to give our guests an amazing space to relax and unwind. Glad you had another great stay.
Views were amazing - loved waking to the lake sunrise each morning. The kitchen is well-stocked and organized. The house is spotless. There are games for every age, and our kids had a lot of fun here. It’s a beautiful beach.
Exceptionally maintained property... enjoy the private beach, view of the lake from the large front deck or relax in tranquility in the screen enclosed back porch. Watch and listen to the frogs, birds and small wildlife in the back of the property.
Certainly a refreshing escape from everyday life!
Wonderful host!!
We had such a wonderful week at the Lakehouse. Every single detail was taken care of, every possible thing you could need or want was there. Incredibly well thought out rental property! We'll be back!

Thank you. We try to continue to improve the experience that you will have as a guest and try to provide all the things needed to create a welcoming space. We look forward to welcoming you back.
This was our 11th summer staying at the Joe and Jen's Lake House, and each summer there is as great as the previous one. The property is fantastic, and they have thought of everything. We love that there are enough beds for two families with 4 kids combined. Plenty of spaces for everyone to hang out together, but other areas where you can tuck away and enjoy some alone time. The Lake House is an absolute gem.
The house was superb, super clean, and a kitchen with absolutely everything you could need with all the amenities you could ask for, and more. We stayed with youngsters, and the rec room downstairs was absolutely perfect for them to make noise in the morning without disturbing anyone upstairs! We had a small fire on the beach one evening with stars above while watching a thunderstorm across the lake over Cleveland. Everything went without a hitch. We loved it and would definitely love to come back in the warmer months!

Thank you. The rec room, the sun room, the back porch - all places people can use to either not disturb someone or spend some quiet time by themselves. Glad you took advantage of the private beach for your campfire. Look forward to seeing you again in the future.
We loved our stay! It was our first time staying in the Rondeau Park area. It was very relaxing & quiet, great area for biking. Our grandchildren loved playing at the beach, the water was shallow at the shore, perfect for splashing :) The cottage was very clean & well organized. Every cupboard & drawer was clean with lots of storage. There was every comfort of home. It was also roomy which made it possible to have your own space if need be. The only issue was the lack of railings on the deck. It made it a bit nerve-wracking with our youngest grandchild who is 18 months. If there was no wobbly toddlers or people with navigating stairs issues it was the perfect spot ♥️
For the past 5 years, we’ve rentes a different cottage for a week in either Lake Huron or Erie, together with our 2 boys, their partners and grandsons. We all agree, we’ve found our favourite in the Lake House - hands down!
This wonderful place is all it promises to be and more. Lovely, comfortable and well equipped with so many options indoors and outdoors to be together or find quiet space alone. Our grandsons were in awe of the games, books and toys in the basement. The sandy beach and shallow water were perfect for fun in the sun, sand castles, and long walks searching for beach glass and skipping stones. We could unload kayaks and paddle boards and not worry about them on the private Beach right across the street.
I could go on and on. Clean, comfortable, quiet. Just perfect. Thanks from all of us, Joe and Jen. We loved our stay at your beautiful summer home. Hope to return again!!

About the host
Hosted by Joe Richards
We are a family who enjoy our time away together at the lake house. As the operators of a summer camp and retreat facility, we understand the importance of having opportunities to get outside and spend time with friends and family.
Why they chose this property
Growing up near the lake was a big memory for both of us. Having a place to go, relax and just be with family is important - this house is our home away from home.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with the view of Lake Erie, the private beach, the neighbourhood and the closeness to Rondeau Provincial Park. Being far enough away from the business of urban life, but close enough to all needed amenities sold it for us.
