What makes this unit truly special is its connection to history. It is part of the original Hequembourg estate, built in 1910. The mansion, known as Harminnie, was named after Major Harry and Minnie Hequembourg, who owned the entire bay from Canadaway Creek to Crooked Brook Creek. Upon arrival, you'll receive a booklet featuring original pictures of the house and information about a children's camp that Major Hequembourg operated in the 1920s.
Step outside our property, and you'll be greeted by a three-foot stretch of smooth rocks leading to a sandy 40-foot sandbar, perfect for wading and swimming. Spend your days hunting for beach glass and driftwood, sunbathe on the beach, or take a leisurely 10-minute walk to the Dunkirk Boardwalk at the harbor, where you can indulge in delicious meals, refreshing cocktails, and satisfy your shopping desires at various shops. Dunkirk Harbor also offers a marina, restaurants, and a public launching facility for convenient access to Lake Erie.
