About this property

Unique and Cozy Cottage in Sarnia with a private Beach on Lake Huron

Lake front cottage with amazing sandy private beach. This renovated original cottage is one of a kind! A perfect get away that is still in town. This is an adults only property. This home is fully equipped with everything you should need to have an enjoyable stay. The cottage has many comfy spaces to enjoy inside and out. Two bedrooms, one on the main floor with the sound of waves crashing and one downstairs in the bomb shelter for those who like a quiet sleep. A fully equipped eat in kitchen. There is a south side covered patio and bbq for outside meals. A bright and breezy work space, a laid back reading spot, it has it all! There is a storage space for bikes or any sporting equipment you may have. There are many different levels to the cottage and property so those who are not good with stairs this may not be the place for you. This original cottage has been renovated but still has an issue with water pressure, you cant do laundry and shower at the same time. However the water pressure is amazing when you dive into the lake. The a/c is not central air, we have window units and fans for blazing hot days but windows open with the lake breeze is the best way to enjoy the peaceful sounds of the waves. There are kayaks a paddleboard, floats and other beach items and games that you are free to use. The cottage is walking distance to a great grocery store, liquor store, bank, barber, MnM meats for your convenience.
We are located 10 minutes from the Bluewater Bridge to Michigan and downtown Sarnia. Within a 5 minute walk there is an LCBO, MnM Meats, Sunripe grocery store, variety store, bank and restaurant. The Howard Watson bike trails are close by and go for miles.
Unlimited internet and Netflix.

Awesome Stay

Great location directly on Lake Huron. Beautiful bungalow (split level). I was with my elderly parents who had no issues with the small amount of stairs. If you are staying in Sarnia, everything is a 10 minute drive. Definitely the place to stay. The host was gracious and very flexible and accommodating with requests. - Thanks Ann

Nice clean little place

Cute little place - right on the water, but being advanced as I am, looked like about 100 steps down to the water - which was not going to happen. Hung out with family on the patio, so all was well.

Beautiful sunrise/sunset viewing location

Our time at Ann’s property was very nice. The beach area was fantastic, and the weather permitted a fire in the sand under the stars that was wonderful. And everything you could need is in walking distance!

Private beach cottage

Cottage with private beach. Very comfortable, all amenities available. Host lovely. Only downside is all the stairs inside as described in listing, however there is no handrail on the main stairs to the kitchen, so renters should have no impairment with stairs at all if renting cottage.

Great Location

Great location in Sabrina. Inside the home was immaculate and amenities were nice. Weather wasn’t conducive for using any of the fire pits but morning coffee on the beachfront was awesome. The yard was in dire need of tlc. And some cleanup.

wonderful warm cozy cottage

Recently, my husband and I spent a week at this property and can hardly wait to go back. Super warm & cozy and very quiet. Great spot to escape to. Our bed was very comfortable and the cottage was very clean. The property is clean and easy to walk and right on a lovely sandy beach. The location is perfect it is nice and quiet on the beach and within walking distance or 2 mins by car just around the corner is Sunripe an amazing fresh grocery store, LCBO, M&Ms plus a small variety store for milk etc Ann the host, is wonderful! We enjoyed spending time with her. She is very helpful and hands on if you need anything. If you want to escape, definitely sign up to enjoy some quality time. Hope to see you soon Ann!

Great stay, great host.

My husband and I stayed at Ann’s property for our Anniversary and we found it peaceful and just what we needed. Great sunsets! The cabin itself had everything we needed and it was nice to have amenities close by. The only down was at the upper level was a bit muggy. We brought our own dehumidifier which made a big difference. Ann was friendly and responded promptly to any questions we had. We will consider staying again in the future.

Very relaxing and cute place

I used the place for my mandatory 14 day isolation and even though I was almost entirely confined to inside, my time went quickly. Strong internet, TV, streaming with good places to curly up and read a book, all provided excellent diversions. The place was really clean and comfortable with readily available owner support if needed. Top on my list for any future needs.

One of the best kept ‘home away from home’ experiences

This place is one of the most beautiful little places we have been too, it has all the amenities of being at home with the laid back and comfortable feeling of being totally taken care of away from home, we absolutely loved this place and would recommend it to all our friends and family, definitely a must go to place for sure!!!!!

Not quite lakefront

My husband and I booked this property because we were under the impression that the property was closest to the water, and for the most part, it would be a private oasis. Unfortunately, it was the owners property that was closest to the water, with our stay being by the road. That was not a big deal, but having to walk by the owner and guests that were there on the owners property was not what we had anticipated. We were staying for our honeymoon, and it would have been nice to have a more private stay. There were also no doors on the bedrooms, which we found odd. If you are staying with a couple of people, the living room and bedroom are right next to each other, with no door to make the bedroom private. Otherwise, the cottage had a keypad entry, exclusive to us.

Great Stay

We had a great time at Ann’s cottage. It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed and then some. Ann was attentive and available to address any need we had but also gave us plenty of privacy. We chose the cottage for the private beach and it did not disappoint. We were there daily and made good use of the kayaks and paddle board, though the water was cold!
