Welcome to Shipwatch Cottages…your Lake Erie beach shore destination. Shipwatch Cottages are an ideal vacation spot for groups of 4 up to 63. The cottages have waterfront views, private beach access, and are completely furnished with everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. We are located in the heart of Madison-on-the-Lake within walking distance to a park with picnic pavilions and a playground, a mini-golf course, laundry facility, and several terrific restaurants.

This website provides information on almost everything you need to know about our cottages and the amenities nearby. We hope you’ll spend some time viewing the photo gallery for each cottage and looking through the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page. If you have any questions or are ready to book your reservation, just give us a call! We look forward to meeting you soon!

From Memorial Day week through Labor Day week we only accept weekly rentals. Before and after these dates we have options for daily, weekend, weekly, and monthly rentals, depending on availability. We also offer discounts for rentals for more than one week or to larger groups requiring more than one unit.
