Great place to stay for the weekend. Only wish the weather would have co-operated for porch sitting & exploring your cute little town. Kitchen was well stocked. My 92 year old mother-in-law was quite impressed by the cute dishes/cups. Everything we needed. Everyone is already talking about maybe coming back this summer, if you'll have us. THANK YOU.

The property itself is beautiful! Very well maintained and comfortable. Everything was exactly where you would expect it to be - the kitchen was so well equipped and even had a cheese grater when we needed one! Michelle was very friendly and accomodating.

Beautiful stay in Amherstburg

We chose this place due to the location overlooking the river and close to downtown and family we were visiting. We thoroughly enjoyed the home and loved the front porch and its views of the river, so nice to enjoy a morning coffee and wine at night! Everything about this place is great! The beds were comfortable, bathrooms very nice and the kitchen was stocked with everything you need. The host was easy to get in touch with if we had any questions. Highly recommend this beautiful little find in Amherstburg!

Girls get away weekend

Our stay here was wonderful. Michelle was a pleasure to work with, booking was a smooth process and Michelle responded quickly to our messages and requests. Everything was perfect. Quiet safe neighbourhood, with a beautiful view of the river. The inside of the house was clean and inviting. It easily accommodated the 5 of us.

Paradise Found

What a wonderful experience this 5 day excursion turned out to be! The house has been tastefully renovated, with every attention to detail to make visitors feel pampered. A fully stocked kitchen makes meal preparation easy, or it's a 5 minute drive to the many dining choices in the downtown core. Our hosts even went out of their way to bring us coffee and muffins when a brief power outage occurred! The front deck with a water view is spacious and comfortable seating areas are provided as well. We watched our pup playing in the backyard while we sat on the back deck, so our "furbaby" had a vacation as well. We will definitely be returning to this "Paradise Found"
