My Lighthouse Cottages

The cottage was very clean and well stocked. Rui, the host, was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Very relaxing. The only negative aspect was the network/wifi. It's basically non existent but it's nice to unplug, unwind and spend time with family. Loved the icecream hut on site, great addition. The surrounding area is very pretty and quiet.

Stayed at Cottage #10 for the weekend.Was there celebrating a bachelorette and it was perfect! We took advantage of the bbqs, lounge chairs, and walked to the beach.Lots is space, great kitchen and the backyard is soo pretty!Rui was a great host, he came to make sure we had everything we needed on Saturday and it was lovely meeting him.I would be happy to be back any time!

Back in March 2021, my 5 friends and I had booked this cottage looking for a nice get away in hopes that the pandemic restrictions would be lifted and that we would get an opportunity to spend a few days together before we all left for university in September. After not hearing from the owner in over 4 months, we decided it was a good idea to message them to ensure our trip was still good to go as planned. The owner got back to us the next day, ensuring that we were still 100% good to go, even giving us the code to enter the cottage (about 3 days before arriving). After driving over 2 hours to Dunnville, we decided to call the owner to see if the cottage was ready for us to check into. Once on the phone with the owner, we were informed that they had over booked and that they had no place for us to go. After not being very helpful, they promised us a full refund (which we have not yet received after approximately 5 days) and not having a way to accommodate us at all, leaving us stranded somewhere we've never been before with two cars full of food and luggage. We are extremely frustrated and upset with the disorganization and unprofessionalism and hope this does not happen to anyone else.I do NOT recommend this rental and we would like our refund please and thank you!!!!!!

#5 - This was an absolutely beautiful place to stay. We highly recommend it. The cottages are spotless and very well maintained and stocked with everything you will need. We will definitely being going back!

Amazing little get away. Cottage has everything you could possibly need! Right on the grand river. Super modern and clean! Loved the back outdoor space.

Me and my five friends booked this cottage for an end of the year vacation before we all went our separate ways for school. We all took time off work and time away from our families to come here. We booked for 3N/4D back in MARCH. We drove over two hours to the location and showed up an hour early just to be told that the cottage was over booked!! Keep in mind we called to confirm our trip two or three days in advance and we were assured that we were good to go and that there were no issues. Upon our arrival, we called Rui the host to see if our room was ready. Not only did he do a poor job of accommodating us for our ruined trip, but all he could say was how bad he felt and that he wished he had somewhere for us to stay. Because we were a big group we came with two cars and a lot of luggage. All Rui could do was promise us a full refund which was expected and $50 gas money for the inconvenience AFTER much convincing. A free trip whenever we wanted was also promised, but this was our last chance as a friend group to have a good time before we went our separate ways.As one does when a trip goes downhill, we immediately started looking for last minute hotels in the area, however being young adults (19,20) we had to settle for the cheapest hotel we could find because we needed our money back from Rui immediately to book a hotel for that night. Needless to say, not only are we disappointed with the disorganization and lack of professionalism from this place, but it has been nearly four days and we still have not received our refund! Our parents have called numerous times as have we and we are not getting anywhere.If I could give this place 0 stars I would. DO NOT RENT!!!!

I rented this property between July 22-24, 2020. It was a well-appointed unit with all amenities to my comfort. My stay was good. They could, however equip the unit with adequate towels for two. Luckily, I came prepared.My experience took a negative turn when it came to refunding my security deposit. The money was to be returned 7 days after my stay ended and I am now at 12 days and several calls and texts later, I am still without my refund. The owner confirmed that there were no damages noted against our stay and have promised several times that our refund would be processed by the end of day - still nothing! My coaching feedback would on the administrative side. The after effect of the stay eroded the experience. Please work on a more timely arrangement as no one wants to feel as though they are being held captive by the pockets.

Me and 5 friends planned a fun end of the year trip together at this cottage. We drove nearly 2 hours and when we got there we we’re told he over booked and sent us home. He didn’t seem to care much about how upset we we’re and still hasn’t sent our money back after promising to give us a full refund and extra incentives. Do not rent!!!

Stayed in Cottage #1With my family and kidsVery impressed with this placeVery Clean and very well stocked up with all the things you need.Nice little town , great for fishing as wellWe got to use the fire pits and the BBQ in the backyard as wellAll great little extras to haveOnly small issue was wifi was really weak even to watch tv sometimes it kept freezing.Lots of mosquitoes at night toDefinitely still recommend this place

We stayed at cottage #10 for 3N/4D. Rui was an exceptional host, very responsive & friendly. The cottage location is absolutely awesome, just where the Grand River and Lake Erie meet. Lots of options around for fishing, boating or just relaxing by the riverside. The public beach is just about a minute drive from the cottage.The cottage was well equipped and stocked with everything you would need. The backyard is massive and done nicely with space for bonfire and BBQ. Lots of space in the backyard for kids to run around or play. There is a pungent bad smell in the backyard which you will need to get used to but nothing that one can’t bear. We had an issue with one of the washrooms but Rui was quick to act on it and came the same evening we called him. Although the washroom issue was eventually fixed the next day around noon, we were happy that Rui responded appropriately and on time. Definitely a place we will come back for sure.
