The Canadian vacation industry is very popular in southern Ontario. Cottage rentals in Ontario are usually situated in areas, locally referred to as cottage country, catering greatly to local Torontonians. When they escape for holiday and the summer months they will habitually spread to three distinct regions: Muskoka, Kawartha Lakes or Haliburton municipalities. At least 2 million travelers aim for these holiday destinations to unwind and get away annually.

An infinite amount of vacation communities dot the coasts along numerous lakes and waterways throughout the country. In the southernmost tip of mainland Canada lays a particular lakeside gem in Leamington ON, called Point Pelee. The picturesque community in Essex County has a variety of bed and breakfasts and lake houses only four hours away from bustling Toronto.

Besides the spectacular lake community views of the sunset hovering over Lake Erie, it is a place worth mentioning because of its particular location. Point Pelee, sometimes called the Tip, is shaped into a fine tip of land pointing and extended into northern waters of Lake Erie. Jutting out from the city of Leamington, the peninsula is surrounded by secluded, clean and lengthy beaches immediately south of prominent Point Pelee National Park.

Known as the warbler capital of Canada, the Point Pelee National Park is particularly noted for its avid bird watching activities. Because of the migrating birds and Monarch butterflies passing through the area, the Festival of Birds event hosts hundreds of bird watchers that gather in honor of the migration and to be educated. Free shuttle service is available to cart enthusiasts to and from the national park to the Tip.

Cabin dwellers who appreciate nature will enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. Nature lovers can hike or bike through the national park. There are at least seven self guided walking trails, including a floating boardwalk surrounded by cattails and painted turtles. Swimmers enjoy the lengthy natural beaches on the peninsula. Canoeing and Kayaking through the marsh land is available from July through Labor Day.

Vacationers can reach the Tip, by way of a large ferry, whose key stops include the Port of Leamington, Kingsville, Pelee Island and Sandusky, Ohio. Travelers can board with their cars, as long as a reservation is made well in advance. The ferry runs from April to mid December.

Many are not aware that the city of Leamington, from which the Tip is extended, cultivates an extraordinary abundance of vegetation growth. Because of the abundant growth of the tomato plant, and the H. W. Heinz factory built there years ago, it is referred to as the tomato capital of Canada. Every August Leamington hosts the Tomato Festival that celebrates the tomato season with parades, beauty pageants, locally made crafts, foods, wines and golf tournaments.

Whatever the day activities entail, vacationers on the Tip, can return and settle down at dusk, viewing the sunset lowering into the horizon of Lake Erie from their cottage rental. It then one would likely realize that the cottage rental in Ontario, amid the natural beauty was well worth the trek.
