Welcome to Better Than Ever Lakehouse—a charming, cozy retreat perfectly nestled near Point Pelee National Park, just across from the splash-filled fun at Mersea Park and steps from the local favourite, Freddy’s Restaurant. This two-bedroom cottage sleeps up to six guests, with a queen bed in each bedroom and a comfy futon in the common area—making it an ideal escape for families or a close-knit group of friends.
Inside, the cottage offers a seamless blend of comfort and style. The fully equipped kitchen sparkles with high-end stainless steel appliances and all the essentials to prepare your favourite meals—but don’t be surprised if you find yourself dining at Freddy’s every day. With food that good just across the road, it’s a temptation few can resist.
Sink into plush beds wrapped in luxurious linens, unwind with fluffy towels in the full bathroom with a tub-and-shower combo, and enjoy the convenience of a brand-new washer and dryer for longer stays.
Outside, life slows down. The lakefront patio offers Muskoka chairs for lounging, a fire pit for storytelling under the stars, a picnic table for casual lakeside meals, and a natural gas BBQ for grilling up your catch of the day.
Whether it’s morning coffee by the water, sunset laughs with friends, or quality time with your family, Better Than Ever Lakehouse isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a lakefront experience you’ll never forget.
