An incredible week there. Hosts were incredible. We had intended on using the Lake Houz for a “home base” for when we did activities in the area for our vacation but spent most of our time sitting on the deck overlooking the lake. The place was stocked well and was cozy for a nice day relaxing and then movie nights with the family. Overall amazing week and memories.

We enjoyed our stay. Inside is nice and clean. BBQ should be changed, it’s falling a part. Also, all outside chairs were covered in spiderwebs.

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.

Leamington sumer 2023

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!

The property is absolutely gorgeous. The view is breathtaking. This is our second stay. We made memories around the fire with family, enjoyed a meal with friends and sat around the chiminea listening to the waves crashing in. The cottage is so cozy and looks like something out of a movie its so perfect. We had a wonderful time.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Cottonwood Lake Houz as soon as we saw it. We have a lot of fond memories of this place that we'd like to share with you.

Whether it is waking up in the morning to the sounds of birds & water breaking against the rocks, spending tranquil evenings sitting on the deck by the Chiminea sipping a cocktail, roasting marshmallows by the firepit, playing board games or watching TV by a roaring fire from the Woodstove; these are only a few memories you will experience!

Cottonwood Lake Houz is equipped with a fully functional kitchen that you will enjoy cooking in. Appliances include a Keurig coffee machine, dishwasher, fridge, electric stove, oven, microwave, toaster and an air fryer.

Work effectively and efficiently if you must by using the free high speed Wi-Fi service, the difference being you can do so from sitting on the deck by the water!

What makes this property unique

Modernized to offer all the necessary amenities plus luxuries for the ideal home-away-from-home.

Enjoy long walks on East Beach Road down to Hillman Creek while watching a stunning array of birds of different species.

Take in the tranquil views of Lake Erie from the deck or retreat inside to the peaceful solitude of life on the water.

When adventure strikes, you have plenty to choose from; Pelee National Park, Seacliff Beach, Pelee Island, Wine Country, and Craft Breweries are only minutes away by road!
