Wonderful Cottage, Great location

Upon our arrival it was clear this cottage is well taken care of. Everything was spotlessly clean, lots of amenities and even a personal greeting sign. Paula was always available to answer any questions we had, which were quite limited as everything is very easy to find/use. The wineries in the area were fantastic, we particularly enjoyed North 42 and Viewpointe. The people nearby were also very friendly, we met a couple of locals and had some great conversations about the area, specifically the fishing. All of this along with some great restaurants in the town, made for an unforgettable experience. We are already planning our trip back, 5 stars because that's the maximum i can give.

Great Little Hideaway

All as described by host and more. Small touches added to our experience (chocolates, Baklava, adding to my waist). The only problem was VRBO sending us some wrong info, but Host was on it pronto. Very nice experience and stay. Thanks

A Little Slice of Heaven

We had an incredibly relaxing long weekend thanks to the location and comfort of the cottage. The cottage is so cute and stocked with everything you need and more. The deck is a perfect place to unwind. The area is quiet and seems remote, but wineries, restaurants, golf, and a market are close by. We can’t wait to visit again next year!

Anniversary Getaway

This Hideaway was absolutely perfect for us on our anniversary. The cottage has everything one could ask for or need. So quiet and serene especially sitting out front and looking out onto Lake Erie. Paula and Jim have quite the gem here and were always reachable. Walking distance to Colchester beach, restaurants and wineries. Had a few flights at The Crew winery, very delicious! Bikes are provided to reach those other wineries that are just out of walking distance. Great, friendly neighbours that were more than happy to suggest any points of interest. This cottage is 100 out of 100 for us, can't wait to come back. A+++ Thank you very much!

Loved this little cottage as soon as we drove up to it. Even more once we went inside. Beautifully decorated, and every single amenity you could possibly want. Great view super nice neighbours and the banana bread she left for us was fantastic. Paula was great at communication and we had a lovely relaxing time. Love this area so many things I want to see I will definitely be back.

A true little hideaway

We loved our stay at this quaint but quality and charming retreat cottage. The location and surrounding attractions are particularly great for wine enthusiasts but equally great to just kick back and decompress while looking over the beeezy Lake Erie or taking a 10 minute stroll up the road to the lavender fields and endless vineyards.

About the host

Hosted by Paula Stenger

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for 28 years. We have two adult sons. We live in beautiful Kingsville. My husband owns a plumbing company and I have worked for the Catholic school board for the past 30 years supporting young children with special needs. My husband and I love attending music festivals and outdoor events. We love fine dining and touring the area to sample wine and beer while listening to local talent.

Why they chose this property

I moved to Kingsville Ontario from London England when I was 7. As a child I grew up along the shores of Lake Erie. My heart has always been in the area and I love the peacefulness of the lake. I have always dreamed of having just a simple little place on Lake Erie, where I could go and just escape. I often rent cottages along the Lake Erie shore and do wine tours with my girlfriends. The area is just so wonderful. This past fall I was having breakfast at Garfield’s with a friend. It was a beautiful fall day. I just noticed a for sale sign at the end of the road. I decided what the heck. Let’s go look. I fell in love with the place the minute I saw it. It was perfect for what we were looking for. A quite little place on the water. I love sitting inside with the Windows open and the breeze coming off the lake. I’m very excited to enjoy the outside. We plan on doing some extra things in the spring to make it more enjoyable. This place is perfect for a romantic getaway or for a single person who just wants to come and relax with all the comforts. My husband and I like to call our place the hideaway. We both love to host and entertain. We are so very excited to share our little hideaway with others.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located to everything in the area! The location really is perfect!
