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.
