Omstead's On Erie

We had a wonderful stay at Omstead's on Erie.  Margo and Keith are very welcoming hosts.   The cottage overlooks the lake, a perfect place to sit and relax.  We slept soundly with the lavender scented sheets on the comfy beds.  Every morning we awoke to Margo's 5 star breakfasts which included a first course of greek yogurt with a homemade fruit topping followed by a main dish of perch & potatoes, broccoli quiche & bacon, or back bacon & beets.  To top it off, one is then served a freshly baked muffin, scone, or bread.   We thoroughly enjoyed every bite.
Thank you for opening your home to visitors.

Outstanding stay at a beautiful cottage with a spectacular view. The cottage was beautifully decorated. The fire red sunset color was gorgeous!! The beautifully linens and comfy bed provided a good night sleep. We woke up with the aroma of bake goods. The home baked biscuit and scone were to die for. What a way to start our day with the hearty scrumptious breakfast. The location is perfect for us to explore the state park nearby.

Keith and Margo are the perfect hosts . Margo is an excellent cook and our breakfasts were truly an experience both visually and of course delicious !!! Location on the lake is so serene . They made us feel like we were at home 😊

A one of a kind stay with incredible hospitality excellent food and stunning views. A rare find !

This was our 5th annual visit to this B&B and won't be our last. 
Everything from the friendly hosts, cleanliness, swimming, walking on the beach, snorkeling, comfortable beds, delicious food, sitting reading by the lake, golfing nearby and fabulous sunsets.

My sister and I stayed at Omstead's On Erie and we absolutely loved this place. The place is very peaceful and the hosts (Margo & Keith) are so friendly.

Omstead's B&B is located at a beautiful waterfront cottage with a scenic view of Lake Erie. Private beach and large backyard garden are yours to enjoy during your stay. The backyard is facing east so it is also a perfect location to experience sunrise. With warm-hearted hosts serving gourmet breakfast, you will enjoy a pleasant and unforgettable stay of your trip. There is nothing to complain. We'd like to thank Margo and Keith for their wonderful hospitality and hope to stay in their lovely cottage again during our next trip.

Hospitality , breakfast was very good, property has perfect lake view and beach access...

The stay was phenomenal. Keith and Margo have thought of everything to make a stay special. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat, this is it!

Margo was the ultimate hostess. Beautiful property right on Lake Erie. Breakfast was awesome!

Exceptional B&B

A perfect stay checking all my boxes

The phenomenal couple who own this quaint, quiet, B&B, truly showed remarkable hospitality! It was the perfect get a way for my birthday. The backyard seating which looks over Lake Erie, was exactly the tranquility we were looking for. The sound of the lake, and the waves against the rocks, were both mesmerizing and soothing.
We got supper from Taylor's Fish & Chips, which is only a minute around the corner; and brought it back to eat beside the lake. Perfect setting and sound to make our meal that much better. 
Breakfast this morning was outstanding! I forget what Margo called the rhubarb dish she served us first. But it was my favourite part of our delicious, thoroughly thought out, breakfast. 
Keith and Margo were beyond accommodating!
Making our stay one to remember.

Omstead on Erie

The rating system needs to be considerably higher for this wonderful BnB. Margo met us in the drive on our arrival and was as warm and welcoming as all the previous reviews had indicated. She showed us our absolutely beautiful, spotless room and explained everything we needed to learn about Omstead"s on Erie to ensure our stay would be as excellent as it was. From the site overlooking the lake (Erie) to the grounds that the property is on, there were numerous places to sit and enjoy the amazing view. Keith, the other half of this hard working duo, made sure grass was cut and all things outside was as well looked after as they were inside. The cottage restoration was so tastefully and thoughtfully completed and Margo and Keith took the time to explain all  parts of their project. They were very proud of what has been accomplished and indeed, they should be proud. Then, to top it off, Margo's breakfasts were to literally 'die' for. My wife is celiac and there were no concerns at all. From the scones to the peppers with refried beans to the broccoli quiche on our first morning. everything was so delicious. What effort. What results. 
My wife and I thank you both for allowing us to spend our anniversary at Omstead's on Erie. There is absolutely nothing we would have wanted that was not already provided and in place.
 We would recommend this BnB to all. There was a pillow in our room that stated "Arrive as guests and leave as friends". That is how we both feel and we plan on returning.

Number 53

I can only echo the other 10/10 reviews which are all richly deserved. Fantastic hosts, fantastic food, fantastic accommodation. So much attention to detail in every aspect of providing a welcoming and relaxing environment to the highest standard. Thank you for squeezing me in before the big season kick off and for the conversation. Highly recommended.

Pelee Paradise

From the moment Margo stepped out to greet us, we knew we would have a wonderful time. The location is beautiful, right on Lake Erie, with steps going down to a small beach. Margo and Keith have got to be the most welcoming, kind people we have ever had the privilege of staying with. Their B&B is beautiful, in keeping with a cottage vibe with all the modern amenities. And the breakfasts? Utterly amazing. It was all so delicious, and we both could eat Margo's bacon forever. The easy conversations, time spent sitting outside with a glass of wine and their other guest made for a truly wonderful experience. We plan on making the area a yearly biking weekend, mostly so we can stay with Margo and Keith again!

Fantastic Weekend!

This was the greatest chance find I’ve ever made. Had been looking for a place to stay in the region, but nothing was available at a reasonable price. This BnB has a mystical feel to it, very serene and peaceful. You are dotted on from the moment you arrive, but not smothered. It feels like going to visit your favourite aunt and uncle for a night, or for however long you stay.

Anniversary Trip

Our fourth time staying here, and it just gets better. Delicious breakfasts with view of Lake Erie. Hosts continue to add niceties. Great for birding as they will accommodate either a 6:30 AM breakfast ( or pre- made if you are going out earlier). Wine at night. We are so glad the be able to go back up.

wonderful option for Point Pellee, ect, birding

We stayed at Omstead's on Erie last weekend - because we were birdwatching at Point Pelee. Can't say enough good things about it!! The hosts - Margo and Keith-  were welcoming, engaging and lots of fun. The location was perfect for access to the National Park at Point Pelee. I have never stayed at a place where there was so much attention to detail - absolutely everything has been thought of. But let's get down to it - THE FOOD - so good! Go for the birding - stay for the food!
