A beautiful getaway
We loved our stay. Cleanliness was our only issue. Some of the cups weren't properly washed, and there was urine on the toilet when we arrived. Aside from that, we absolutely enjoyed ourselves.

Weekend wedding getaway
Our stay was lovely, Frances is a wonderful hostess. The property is set in a hillside over looking Lake Erie and had stunning views. The patio is fabulous. The unit is a walkout lower level of a home lived in by the owner. It was still very private but you are sharing a home. The home could use a deep clean to include the hot tub but overall our stay was very nice and we would recommend it.

Tranquil Hideaway
My wife and I spent several days in Port Stanley and booked the Suite Retreat as our home away from home. Our host Francis was a very friendly, gracious and accommodating host. She made us feel very welcome when explaining the Suite and the local area. When we went down, the first thing we noticed was the great view of the lake, one of the best in that area. The outdoors included a covered area with a daybed. Just after that was a covered hot tub area that was well kept. In front of this was a patio area that included a propane BBQ, table, chairs and umbrella. Just to the side of this was a propane fire pit and a walkway down to give access to Little Beach that was just down the road a little way. The windowed entrance had a coded door lock with a love seat inside and this led to a king-sized bed and to the right a kitchen with full fridge, stove, toaster oven, coffee pot and microwave. There was also a seating area for meals in front of the window looking out the back. Down the hallway was a walk-in closet for storage. The bathroom also had a extra-large shower and was well maintained and stocked. To conclude, the whole Suite, both inside and out, was well maintained, clean and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend the Suite Retreat to my friends and any others who may have an extended stay in Port Stanley or the surrounding area, as well as going back ourselves when the opportunity arises.

My husband and I stayed at this property for our second wedding anniversary. The accommodations were comfortable and the location,excellent. 10-15 minutes from Little Beach and local shops but far enough away from the downtown to enjoys the peace and quiet at Suite Cottage Retreat.

We were very pleased with the cleanliness and location. We stayed two nights and Frances was a wonderful host. She provided restaurant recommendations that were perfect. The free breakfast at Art and Soul was a nice surprise. It is a short walk to the beach. We would highly recommend staying here.

Disappointed
The scent of cigarette smoke lingered in the room. We let Francis know that we left the windows open to help air the room out and she brought air freshener which helped. The room looked similar to the photos on the site but the bed and furniture were tired and well-worn. The TV only played DVDs but there were no DVDs provided. The garden was lovely but the room itself was a let down.

Sacred Idleness….such a gift!
Everything about this place is beautiful, healing and filled with amazing energy. Frances is so lovely. I knew I’d like her just from our correspondence prior to arrival. Upon arrival I was so warmly and care-fully received. Her hospitality and desire for my enjoyment parallels no other experience I’ve ever had. The space is clean, beautiful, carefully and artfully decorated inside and out. It was a perfect getaway for a very tired single mama with 2 special needs kids. I definitely came home in better shape than I arrived!! Thank you Frances!

Beautiful Place!
We had an amzing Thansgiving weekend staying at Frances place. Everything about the property is charming and cozy. And although we didnt get a chance to meet Frances (hopefully next time) she was quick to answer any questions and even gave us a late afternoon checkout which was greatly appreciated. Perfect place to relax and recharge. Would definitely return. Thanks again Frances....Stephanie and James.

A Wonderful Time!
The property was in a great location (we were able to walk everywhere- beach, town, grocery store!) And there was a spectacular view!! Frances was so helpful and sweet and so easy to get ahold of. We didn't get our check in information through the VRBO website, but Frances was so good about the fact that we weren't completely prepared. My husband and I fully enjoyed our time in the house! Thank you Frances forgiving us a space to spend the first half of our honeymoon!!!
