River House Getaway
Nestled along the tranquil Otter Creek, River House Getaway is a thoughtfully designed retreat for up to 5 guests. Bring your furry friends along (2 dogs max ~ just $60 per dog) and immerse yourself in a space where nature meets modern comfort.
Explore the creek with our complimentary kayaks and canoe, or cast a line with your fishing pole. Just 6 minutes away, discover Port Burwell’s sandy beaches, the HMCS Ojibwa submarine, and free access to Port Burwell Provincial Park’s beach—courtesy of us.

Inside, enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi, a 65" Smart TV with Disney+, record player, board games, and a fully equipped kitchen. Two queen bedrooms and a pull-out couch ensure a cozy stay for everyone.
