WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT UPON ARRIVAL . . .
Setting Yourself Up for a Successful Pelee Island Vacation
What to Know Before You Arrive at Cottage House
We recommend taking a moment to review what you can expect when arriving at Cottage House on Pelee Island. Our island is a peaceful, close-knit community surrounded by natural beauty — and part of its charm is its remoteness. Because of this, we encourage guests to arrive as prepared as possible with any essentials you might need for your stay. While we do have a lovely local shop — the Pelee Island Co-op — for basic groceries and supplies, options can be limited and seasonal. Pack thoughtfully, plan ahead, and get ready to enjoy the quiet, simple pleasures of island life.
You will find details on the Pelee Island Co-op at:
