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.

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.

The inside was great but the outside no so, I wish there was a leaf blower to help keep the white stuff off the decks and clean, It looks like the windows haven't been cleaned for years, thanks for the week

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!
