About this property
Drifted Inn - Riverfront Cabin
Stay at our little cottage on the shores of the Detroit River.
This one room cottage has all the makings of a simple getaway:
hammock, BBQ, private sand spit and fire pit.
Quintessential summer, minutes from downtown of Amherstburg.
Well suited to young families, girls' weekends, couples getaways, and anyone just looking for a bit of quiet.
The small beach is perfect for building sandcastles with tikes, or digging your lawn chair in and watching the sunset; the large deck is a great place to pass the afternoon, BBQ-ing and watching the freighters go by, the hammock is the place to polish off your summer reading list.
There is a bike lane along Front Road, for cyclists wanting to pop into town; or head to the wine route.
The Cottage makes a perfect jump-off point for: exploring the EPIC wine route, city of Windsor, Boblo Island, Town of Amherstburg, Holiday Beach, Point Pelee National Park.

Propane BBQ on the deck
Kitchen: Stove, (2) mini bar fridges, fully stocked with pots, pans, cutlery, etc. as well as some basic spices, condiments, tinfoil, saran wrap, to aide you in your kitchen prep.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Megan Mailloux
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.
