Family Weekend
Adam and Kristine are the perfect hosts. They have thought of all the things to make you feel comfortable. The house was amazingly clean. Plenty of towels for a large family. All the cookware needed to cook for a large family, convenient placement of charger cords on nightstands next to beds. I don’t have enough space to list them all! It’s February and it had snowed, Adam had the pathway to front door and driveway clear before we even arrived. Then he checked on us to see if we needed any more snow plow services during our stay.

Great Stay, Great Host
The property was exactly as described and the views of the lake were incredible. I appreciated the thoughtful details, like USB-C phone chargers on each nightstand, Keurig & Nespresso coffee machines, the Tesla charger, and plenty of towels. Adam was also super responsive anytime I messaged him with questions. Couldn't have asked for a better stay or a better host.

Homecoming
We are a family group of seven. Three generations. The property and it's owner's are five-star. The multi-level house is situated on spacious property overlooking Lake Ontario with the skyline of Toronto in the distance. The front and back yards are well kept-up and more than spacious. The home is the same. Very clean and more than adequately furnished. The bedrooms are distributed on two floors with all having very comfortable bedding. The owners are more than eager to reply to any questions or concerns. One would be hard pressed to rent with more pleasant and helpful people. Our stay at Lakeshore Cottage more than exceeded our expectations and played a huge role in ensuring our visit was wonderful for one and all. We will make every effort to return.

Fantastic place with amazing views
We very much enjoyed our stay. The pictures don’t even do the views justice. Adam was super super responsive when necessary. If you are looking for a lakeside rental with great views and a beautiful pool, then this place is for you too. Would highly recommend staying here.
