Amazing little gem
This was our second time staying, and we had yet another wonderful stay! We love the little town of Amherstburg, and this cottage is the perfect location. Watching the ships is always a favourite, but the closeness to multiple nature areas is a bonus as well. We were able to enjoy some bird watching at Point Pelee and Holiday Beach. The cottage is kept very clean, the bed is really comfy, and the kitchen was super well stocked! We can't wait to come back!

Didn't want to leave!
Exceeded expectations! The location is really a treasure. Very private and literally ON the water. Sitting on the deck watching the big ships is absolutely the best! The cottage is also fully stocked for cooking and the linens are excellent quality. The location is also super convenient... Just minutes to town, big box stores, grocery, and restaurants. We hope to be back!

Very nice weekend!
Cottage was adorable and essentials were well stocked. Easy check-in and the nights were very quiet. Sunsets on patio were gorgeous and it was great to watch the big boats go by on their way to Detroit. We also loved walking around Amherstburg, such a cute historic downtown. Little bit of confusion on the check out time and the water had a bit too much seaweed to swim, but would recommend the cottage to friends.

About the host

Hosted by Megan Mailloux

Host profile image
We're avid outdoors-people who have started a family & are now enjoying staying a little more local. We have a sweet little place on the shores of the Detroit River & enjoy quiet weekends "down at the Cottage" with family & friends - we thought we'd share it.

Why they chose this property

We are both from Essex County, after spending a few years living out west we wanted to come home & marry BC and Ontario life, this location allows for that - with bike lanes, paddling opportunities, the greenway (biking rail trail), & wine route.

What makes this property unique

All the convenience of being basically in-town, but feels secluded. Marries downtown convenience with privacy - able to bike right from the Cottage (bike lane), or paddle out the front door - we love that.
