About this property

Great Lakes Waterfront Cottage Estral Beach

The view of the sun sparkling on the lake stops you in your tracks the second you walk through the door of this newly renovated cottage. Almost every room in the house has a water view (with the exceptions of only the bathrooms and garage)The proximity of the cottage to the lake gives you the feel you are on a cruise ship. Spend your day on the water, on the deck outside overlooking the lake, barbecue on the deck, have a fire in the patio gas fireplace at night after it all. For swimming and watercraft, there is a brand new public swimming access right next door where you can also launch your Kayak / paddleboard. Incredible restaurant with bar “Vincent V’s” 100’ from the Cottage with incredible food! Point Mouille state game area down the road with endless nature to explore. There are two beautiful beaches you can paddleboard or kayak over to. One is Newport Beach at the mouth of Swan Creek intersecting Lake Erie, and another around the Southernmost corner of Estral Beach. There is a never ending amount of waterways and nature to explore here. There is also a treadmill, exercise bike (use at your own risk) and game room in the attached garage with a foosball table and table tennis. Everything in the house is new, all appliances, including: washer, dryer, dishwasher, tankless water heater, bathrooms, kitchen, everything! Nothing has been overlooked here. Two full bathrooms with the on demand water heater make all the difference in the world when 5 people need to get ready to go out without having to share one bathroom or wait for a conventional water tank to refill once it is depleted. Make sure you research that out if you are considering another property. That alone could make or break your day.

Family Fishing Trip

This is a great place to stay! The home is very clean and has a contemporary feel. The kitchen had everything you need including a great view of the lake while preparing your meals. There's a deck with chairs and a BBQ too. Rich is a great host. We'll be backj

What a wonderful place you have! the view was spectacular, the house was immaculate, everything we needed to come back to, after visiting family. The little notes explaining everything were helpful. This was so much better than being stuck in a motel room.

Great View, quiet neighborhood, wonderful beds

Our stay included 2 couples (2 seniors and 2 30-40 yr) for 10 nights. We arrived late in November and stayed through Dec 2nd, 2024. We wanted a place that had a great view of Lake Erie in a quiet neighborhood and that is just what we got. The house was clean and well stocked we slept soundly on the very comfortable beds. The owner was very responsive to our needs and we had no major issues while there. There are several steps at the entrance but the house is one story with no dangerous level changes inside. Plenty of space for two cars in the driveway. When we arrived, the temperatures were not freezing, but, soon after it snowed a little (not enough to cause issues on the roads). By the time we left, smaller lakes and rivers were starting to freeze over. The restaurant across the street had a full bar and our dinners were wonderful although we did much of our cooking at home on the gas range. The wifi was never an issue even with multiple devices running at the same time. All the TVs were "smart", so easy to get access to streaming services. We all agreed that it was a great experience and we would love to come back to the same house in the future.

Girls trip!

My aunts, mother, and I had a spectacular 3 days at this lovely home. We were lucky to have clear skies for the massive full moon, and the sunrise was accented by a glorious display of “smoke on the water.” Rich was a fantastic host; he was responsive and very kind. The beds are comfy, the appliances work well, and view is spectacular!!!! We would like to return!

Perfect lake vacation!

Rich’s place is amazing and the view is soooo beautiful!! It was perfect for a trip with friends having 2 comfy king bedrooms with separate bathrooms. We spent all of our time outside on the deck and loved being able to have a fire when it got chilly at night. Also really appreciated that each room had its own TV :) Would absolutely stay here again in the future!!

Relaxing Getaway

The place truly is a hidden gem away from the chaos of busy cities. It’s perfectly located on the water with views throughout the house. We spent most of the time on the patio soaking in the sounds of waves that felt very ocean like. The sunrise in the morning was stunning. The moon and fire pit in the evening was a delight. we came for rest and relaxation but was able to drive 20 minutes if we wanted entertainment Or restaurants. Each room was spacious and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable! It’s a perfect place for a quiet, simple getaway.

Perfect place to stay for family wedding in town!

So much better than crashing with family. We used to live in the area, so it was a perfect spot to stay and have our own space. The sun rises were absolutely gorgeous, and the restaurant across the street was phenomenal!

Perfect Tranquil Birthday

The property is perfectly located on the water, was clean when we arrived. The house was stocked with all the essentials. The only negative I have for the property is there was food left in the fridge when we arrived and the cutting board needs to be replaced. Seriously nothing that would affect the greatness of this property. The property is seriously perfect!

Nice view

The house was very clean. The back deck is where we spent most of our time. Great space with a nice view. I had family in area, so they dropped off a 10x10 tent for shade which was very helpful. Phone service is not the best. I would definitely stay again.

Perfect

We all loved the place. It was clean and had everything we needed. I do wish they would’ve had one hairdryer and maybe card table and chairs so we could’ve played cards. The neighbors were nice. The food was wonderful at that little restaurant within walking distance so soothing to sit on the porch and watch the water. We will come back. It was a wonderful family experience.

About the host

Hosted by Rich

Host profile image
Dearborn native, love all things Motor City, including, but not limited to Detroit Pizza, Detroit Automobiles and Michigan music.

Why they chose this property

This property was built in 1930, it has been completely renovated, and nobody has lived here since the renovation that was finished in 2022. This property gives you a transported feeling as soon as you walk in the door.

What makes this property unique

It has a brand new kitchen, but if you don’t want to cook, having the family restaurant “Vincent V’s” right across the street is wonderful. There is a brand new water access going in next door, expected completion Spring / Summer 2023. There is also a boat launch within the village.
