The home is beautiful and unique with an outstanding view over the lake. Very easy entry and nicely appointed.Billiards table was a plus as the weather was stormy at times. Good WIFI connection. Abundant TV's! Gas fireplace in the master bedroom was very nice for the stormy, windy night.A few "more forks" in the dining area for a family of 4 would have been a plus.Good access in early spring to surrounding "things to do".Highly recommended

The property is excellent for the view and outdoor space. The deck is spacious, and the fire pit & the added fire table were great, and good location for each. Inside was fine, nothing was overlooked as far as utensils and amenities. We did find the the one bedroom wall cutout was odd as it diminished privacy in that room, and would suggest closing it. The Master BR would have been nice to have black out curtains as an option. The patio door was too heavy in the family room for the ladies to close. Having said all that, we would recommend this place and have no hesitation considering renting it again. Thanks to the owner Jason for the allowed pet consideration and for keeping in contact throughout our 5 night stay.

Highly Recommended Rental

This home and our host - Jason are an A. This home was exactly as described but better. It is a lovely home but even more important, it is comfortable. The beds, pillows, LR furniture are all inviting and super comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and has what you need to cook a nice meal. The yard is stunning and well cared for with grass and gorgeous flowers. Jason was available for questions, before and during our stay. He was easy to work with. We will definitely stay here for our next trip to Canada!

Colchester was a Lovely Area

The accommodations were as described and any questions were answered quickly by Jason. It is a lovely area to visit with golf courses, excellent wineries and good food available. We had a rainy stay but still had a great holiday. We are planning our next trip to Point Pelee area already.

Our second time here and did not disappoint. The place is lovely. It has everything you need. The one problem was that the patio door was very difficult to open. Did not slide open or close very well. Other than that cannot complain about anything. Thank you Jason.

Modern home with excellent lake views

This home is very modern and has all the comforts of home, really enjoyed the decor. The best part of the property is the beautiful landscape and views of the lake. Great communication by the owner. Location was very convenient to the wineries and there was a beach within walking distance. It The only downside is that one of the bedrooms had an opening that looked over the stairs - so not exactly a completely private space.
