The Eleanor at Gallimere Beach - Steps from Lake Huron!
Welcome to The Eleanor, a whimsical lakeside retreat tucked away on in the quiet Gallimere Beach community of Plympton–Wyoming. Just a short stroll from the shores of Lake Huron, this cozy cottage is the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life by the water.
The area is known for its quiet charm, leafy streets, and close-knit community feel. Guests can enjoy morning walks through the neighborhood that lead directly to Gallimere Beach, a peaceful and less-traveled stretch of shoreline where the sunsets glow in hues of pink and gold. The nearby Highland Glen Conservation Area offers another beach access point, along with nature trails, picnic areas, and a boat launch—perfect for those who want to blend relaxation with a bit of adventure. While most amenities are just a short drive away in Sarnia or Forest, the cottage itself feels like a true hideaway, offering both convenience and seclusion.
Step inside and you’ll immediately feel the warmth and character of this thoughtfully decorated space. The Eleanor embraces a beautiful aesthetic, whimsical style, filled with coastal touches and a bright, welcoming atmosphere. Two comfortable bedrooms each feature queen beds dressed with soft linens, making the cottage ideal for a small family or two couples traveling together. The living area is inviting and warming, designed for relaxation after a day by the lake, while the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals at home. A brand new three-piece bathroom, complete with a stand up shower, adds convenience, and the space has been thoughtfully arranged to ensure comfort throughout your stay.
Outdoors, the cottage truly shines. The fenced in backyard and overhang patio offer plenty of space for lounging in Adirondack chairs, enjoying an afternoon barbecue, or sipping coffee as you listen to the birds in the trees. In the evenings, gather around the fire pit under a canopy of stars—a guest favorite that makes every stay memorable.
One of the most enchanting parts of staying here is the walk down to the water. Once at the beach, you’ll find yourself on a quiet shoreline that feels worlds away from busier public stretches. Whether you’re swimming, sunbathing, or simply watching the sun melt into the horizon, it’s a place where time seems to slow down.
The Eleanor is more than just a place to stay—it’s a space that feels like a personal sanctuary. Guests often call it a “lovely oasis,” a retreat filled with thoughtful details, welcoming comforts, and natural beauty at every turn. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a family escape, or simply a few days of calm, this lakeside cottage promises a stay filled with warmth, charm, and unforgettable sunsets.
The entire property is yours to enjoy from the front deck perfect for for your morning coffee, to the large & secluded backyard with fire pit, covered patio, and barbecue. The private community beach access is just a short 2 minute walk away. Lots of parking is available in the driveway for multiple vehicles.
