Perfect stay
I had an amazing two day stay. The cottage is very clean, cozy and quaint. The renters thought of everything - the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need and more. The bathroom has baskets full of toiletries in case you forgot anything. They literally thought of everything. My favourite part was the hot tub. So relaxing and roomy. I highly recommend this cottage and I will definitely be returning.

Sandra
nice place for a getaway
Nice place for a getaway from the routine with all the amenities.

Nice little cottage, perfect for our vacation.
Nice little cottage, perfect for our vacation. The beach was just a short walk, beautiful location. Brianne has one of the best stocked homes we've visited, from the extra hair elastics to the stocked kitchen, if we forgot something she was sure to have it there it was fantastic. Brianne was very quick to respond to any questions we had and very helpful. Will definitely book again!

Kristin Salvi

Cosy and quiet
They thought about all the little details, and we had every thing we needed. The area is secluded, and there's plenty of opportunity to kick back and relax.

Chastine B
Very much enjoyed our stay here!
The cottage was decorated so nicely and everything in the house was very clean and nice. The kitchen was very nicely kept with everything you could need. There were fans in each room to keep you cool which was nice. Our family enjoyed the firepit and the beach toys outside and my husband and I enjoyed the very nice hot tub!

Little Slice of Heaven
I can’t say enough about this place, it is a little slice of heaven. It was super private and serene. Truly just steps from the beach. Beautiful furnishings and decor. Awesome kitchen. I spent most of my time in the awesome hot tub. The host was very friendly, thoughtful, and communicative. Highly highly recommended.

Tracey M
Lovely and Relaxing!
This cottage is beautifully appointed. Lovely and relaxing boho rustic feel to it. Hot tub is great as is the gaming table with all your childhood games from the 80s. My 10 year old thoroughly enjoyed playing Pac-Man, asteroids, centipede etc etc. Any game you could think of from your childhood was there if you’re my age. Lol. Lots of board games as well. Beach is small and signage is poor so a bit hard to find. But a beach it is and lots to do. Just a great experience bonding with my 10 year old. 😀 could not have asked for a better cottage. Highly recommend.

Ecadnac
We had sooo much fun
We had sooo much fun and in the past have frequented a LOT of air b and b’s in Selkirk. This is our 5th time here and wowwwww this place definitely is by far the best we have stayed!!!! It’s fully stocked with anything you may need, the kitchen is beyond full off all of the best appliances, cooking essentials, and goodies one may need! Epic coffee and hot chocolate bar! And the ambience is soooo special!!!! We loved waking up to the birds and enjoyed riding our motorcycles all day long and had a blast with the late night bbq! Great game selection and just wow wow wow This place is the best bang for the buck! Comfy and felt right at home. More of a home experience then a cottage!

The place was perfect for our quick trip, and We were fortunate to see a full moon rise over Lake Erie. It was simply beautiful.

Great getaway
Brianne was very responsive and getting there/checking in was very easy. The place has everything you need to be comfy. The lake is seconds away and the hot tub is a joy. Just a heads up that the place may get a few ants inside but not a big deal, just good to know if you’re sesnsitive to that. They didn’t get in our way at all. Also, the land in that area gets quite soggy after a big rain or big amount of snow melt so the yard can be wet with puddles for days after. It was fine for us, just be aware if you’re using the backyard and fire pit and bring proper footwear. Would definitely stay here again. I loved it.

Michele V
Clean & cozy
We really enjoyed the cottage however I couldn't sleep in the queen bed because the gloom slants & I felt like I was rolling out. The hot tub was great but more privacy would be an asset The kitchen & bathroom were well stocked of items we might have forgotten overall I would stay there again

Priya
Lovely quiet place to stay
Lovely quiet place to stay. If you’re looking for a more remote getaway this is a great option. In winter you aren’t able to enjoy the lake, and it is 1 hour drive to Hamilton, so plan accordingly.

Mabel Robson
Amazing short getaway!
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights in January - we wished we would've stayed longer. Even though there wasn't much to do in the area during winter, we still took full advantage of the hot tub, game table, board games, and television. The TV came with most streaming services on it so we didn't have to worry about anything. The whole property indoors looked very new and had a very cozy feel. Would definitely stay here again

Christa Hinds
Wonderful little haven
We had a "moms weekend" and found the cottage was well stocked with essentials. Linens and towels were well ample and clean too. The donkey king games were a complete riot and we enjoyed filling up the high scores 😝. Hosts were SUPER responsive when we had a question and were flexible. Short walk to the beach was great along with a clean hot tub to chill. There aren't many amenities around so go prepared and plan to enjoy some nice chill til with Lake Erie in view from the cottage.

Christine D
Wonderful Staycation!
My partner and I were looking to escape the city and relax in nature. This was the perfect place to do it! The location was right by the water, making it great for walks. The property was so cute and decorated perfectly. Brianne and Doug thought of everything! From all the coffee you could imagine, to pots and pans, and even toiletries you may have forgotten. We spent our time curled up in front of the fire, relaxing in the hot tub, and trying to beat high scores on the Pac-Man machine. We can't wait to go back!

Maude Walsh
They have thought of everything!
What a rare gem! So clean and comfortable you won’t want to leave; plenty of throw blankets, cozy fireplace, well appointed kitchen and bathroom, comfy beds and bedding, games, access to the beach, spa…need I go on?! Can’t wait to go back!

We loved our stay at Brianne's cottage. The area is so picturesque and quiet, which was exactly what we needed. The hot tub was perfectly maintained and such a treat to relax in. The cottage itself is nicely decorated and very comfortable, as well as incredibly well appointed. We love to cook, and the kitchen had everything We needed and more. The rest of the cottage also has everything you can possibly require : lovely towels, blankets- even toiletries in case you forgot something! I very much recommend Brianne as a host.

We had great time in beautifully furnish cottage at 903 Lakeshore Road, Selkirk. Cottage had everything we needed and more. Weather was perfect, so we enjoyed morning coffee on the porch with lake view, long walks along Lakeshore Road and the beach in the morning and evening. Hot tub was great, warm and therapeutic - perfect way to complete the day. It was perfect location for visiting Haldimand County and Norfolk County, everything is relatively short drive from the cottage, and nature was a breathtaking. Host Brianne was great! All our questions were answered at once. We will definitely come again! Thank you Brianne for wonderful week. Miroslav & Nevenka Grulovic

This cottage is cute and cozy and renovated. It has everything you need to spend a few days and not worrying about anything. The instruction are easy and simple on how to get in.

Lots of games and water toys to entertain young kids too. 30 minute drive to Port Dover for dinners if you don't want to cook. it was a great place for my husband and I to have somedown time and celebrate our anniversary.

Friendly welcome and attentive response from Brianne
Friendly welcome and attentive response from Brianne. The place was very well equipped and compactly designed. The local neighbours were very friendly. Even the weather was great and the insects in the area did not bite.

We enjoyed our stay at Brianne’s cottage. Very clean, well-equipped and beautifully decorated. The beach is across the road. The water was clean, warm and shallow as well, suitable for kids. Also, we had a quick response from Brianne. We definitely recommend.

Dave
This is the perfect place for a couple or small family,
This is the perfect place for a couple or small family, if you forget something off your list or leave something at home, Brianne has you covered, very clean well laid out small cottage, we were in awe with how clean and well stocked it was. Great location on Lake Erie, only issue was we there during the hottest days of the year to date and the a/c just couldnt handle it, but not everyone is a polar bear like i am. Definitely well maintained and updated cottage with all you could ask for

Catherine
We really enjoyed our stay at Brianne’s cottage!
We really enjoyed our stay at Brianne’s cottage! The cottage was new renovated with high quality features. It had an efficient use of space and was beautifully decorated. The whole cottage was spotless. Brianne responded quickly, was very welcoming and thoughtful; having a great attention to detail. The cottage was well stocked with kitchen supplies and even some toiletries if needed. We loved that we didn’t have to bring our own linens, towels, beach chairs or beach toys. We really enjoyed all the extra amenities at the cottage such as their board games, colouring books, arcade game, hot tub and camp fire in their peaceful backyard. The semi private neighbourhood beach was 4 houses down the road. The beach was moderately deep with soft sand. Along the waters edge there were a few small pebbles and depending on the day/wind levels there was a small amount of seaweed. Beyond the waters edge there was beautiful rippling sand and shallow waters perfect for young children. We would recommend this cottage to others and hope to visit again soon.
