Lovely Getaway by the Beach

Our family really enjoyed our stay. Toys for the kids, a short walk across the road to the private beach, great views of the water from the house, and a fire pit for s'mores in the evening. Great for a getaway!

11th summer at the Lake House

This was our 11th summer staying at the Joe and Jen's Lake House, and each summer there is as great as the previous one. The property is fantastic, and they have thought of everything. We love that there are enough beds for two families with 4 kids combined. Plenty of spaces for everyone to hang out together, but other areas where you can tuck away and enjoy some alone time. The Lake House is an absolute gem.

Peaceful Joy

Exceptionally maintained property... enjoy the private beach, view of the lake from the large front deck or relax in tranquility in the screen enclosed back porch. Watch and listen to the frogs, birds and small wildlife in the back of the property. Certainly a refreshing escape from everyday life! Wonderful host!!

Another amazing week at the Lake House

We've rented this spectacular property for 6 years in a row and will return every summer until our kids are all out of the house - and even then we still may head back. We love staying at the Richard's Lake House! There is a reason everyone gives it 5/5 stars!

An Amazing and Magical Holiday

The house was superb, super clean, and a kitchen with absolutely everything you could need with all the amenities you could ask for, and more. We stayed with youngsters, and the rec room downstairs was absolutely perfect for them to make noise in the morning without disturbing anyone upstairs! We had a small fire on the beach one evening with stars above while watching a thunderstorm across the lake over Cleveland. Everything went without a hitch. We loved it and would definitely love to come back in the warmer months!

In love with the Lake House!

For the past 5 years, we’ve rentes a different cottage for a week in either Lake Huron or Erie, together with our 2 boys, their partners and grandsons. We all agree, we’ve found our favourite in the Lake House - hands down! This wonderful place is all it promises to be and more. Lovely, comfortable and well equipped with so many options indoors and outdoors to be together or find quiet space alone. Our grandsons were in awe of the games, books and toys in the basement. The sandy beach and shallow water were perfect for fun in the sun, sand castles, and long walks searching for beach glass and skipping stones. We could unload kayaks and paddle boards and not worry about them on the private Beach right across the street. I could go on and on. Clean, comfortable, quiet. Just perfect. Thanks from all of us, Joe and Jen. We loved our stay at your beautiful summer home. Hope to return again!!

Richard’s Rondeau Retreat

We loved our stay! It was our first time staying in the Rondeau Park area. It was very relaxing & quiet, great area for biking. Our grandchildren loved playing at the beach, the water was shallow at the shore, perfect for splashing :) The cottage was very clean & well organized. Every cupboard & drawer was clean with lots of storage. There was every comfort of home. It was also roomy which made it possible to have your own space if need be. The only issue was the lack of railings on the deck. It made it a bit nerve-wracking with our youngest grandchild who is 18 months. If there was no wobbly toddlers or people with navigating stairs issues it was the perfect spot ♥️

Great Mother - Daughter weekend

We had a great time & absolutely loved the view overlooking Lake Erie. Catherine loved the downstairs shower, I think she could have fallen asleep in it. 😂 Lots of dishes, chairs, etc. and everything was in great condition.

Paradise by the water

Thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks at the Richards Lakeside Cottage. The grandkids spent lots of time in the water both at the cottage and Rondeau Park nearby. Kitchen well equipped and the games room offered space, and supplies for games and movie nights. Beds comfortable. My 3rd stay and each one has been a treasure.

Incredible spot!!

What a beautiful place! Joe has really thought of everything. The place is SPOTLESS and so cozy. The access to the beach was perfect for our family (across a quiet road to our private beach!). We absolutely loved our stay!! Rondeau park up the road is beautiful for a bike ride and Rondeau Joe's is a great spot to stop after for some beer or lunch!! Don't hesitate to book!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Richards

Host profile image
We are a family who enjoy our time away together at the lake house. As the operators of a summer camp and retreat facility, we understand the importance of having opportunities to get outside and spend time with friends and family.

Why they chose this property

Growing up near the lake was a big memory for both of us. Having a place to go, relax and just be with family is important - this house is our home away from home.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the view of Lake Erie, the private beach, the neighbourhood and the closeness to Rondeau Provincial Park. Being far enough away from the business of urban life, but close enough to all needed amenities sold it for us.
