“We had an absolutely perfect weekend getaway at this charming cottage on Pelee Island! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The cottage is cozy, clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck, enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, or stargazing under the clear island skies, every moment feels magical.The location is unbeatable—peaceful, private, and just a short distance from the dock. We especially loved the natural surroundings and how quiet the island was; it felt like our own little slice of paradise. The hosts were incredibly kind, responsive, and full of great local tips, which made our stay even more enjoyable.If you’re looking for a relaxing, off-the-grid escape with a touch of rustic charm and tons of heart, this is the place. We’re already dreaming about our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to unwind and truly disconnect.”

I truly love this cottage.
“We travelled to Pelee with four moms, 10 children, and one granny, so I booked both cottages for our stay. I really loved every second of being here. First of all, I loved the stunning view from the cottage and its pretty excellent location. I was not able to find any other cottage with a better view than Dawn’s from my bike trip riding around the neighbourhood. We are travelling bunch of kids, but space was so much more than enough for playing, sleeping, outdoor activities etc. I would highly recommend this lovely place if you plan to visit with little kiddos. The kitchen is not that much modern & renovated though, but I had zero uncomfortable moments to use it all through the stay. But the other kitchen (Cottage A’s where my friends stayed) was pretty new & clean. I also loved the washroom of cottage B which was newly renovated. Hopefully, we could come back later again!”

Awesome stay on Pelee Island
“We had a wonderful stay in this adorable cottage. The view was amazing and the cottage was super comfortable, very clean and well stocked. We saw 4 bald eagles that hung out above us for our entire stay. Easy to walk to the ferry, restaurants and the winery. Great communication by Dawn also. We would book here again for sure next time we visit the island.”
