Nature Oasis: Waterfront, pet friendly, amenities galore

Welcome to Ironwood Cottages! Enjoy a peaceful, unique stay at our spacious home sitting on Cedar Creek canal and Conservation Area. Right on the water, you can watch birds & wildlife, read in the hammock, or fish, paddle board (we have 2!), or canoe/kayak from dock. With a modern kitchen, open concept living area, and spacious bedrooms, you are minutes from the Epic Wine Country route, Cedar Beach, bike trails, and Kingsville's amazing food scene. An easy drive down the 401, or a quick drive from the border, this holiday gem provides amazing experiences for all.

Our waterfront cottage backs onto the Cedar Creek Canal and Conservation Area. Built in 2008, it is open and spacious with a large backyard patio with muskoka chairs for 6, a firepit, and steps down to the canal where you can canoe or kayak. Or, you can sit on the upper balcony with a morning coffee, or evening glass of wine and look out onto the Cedar Creek Conservation area to watch the wildlife and listen to the birds. Enjoy time playing foosball or other games in our open area loft, including our round game table and chairs - perfect for poker, other card games, board games, or our crokinole board. Our spacious kitchen with large stove, stocked with kitchen tools, and pots and pans, is great for the gourmet away from home, or large family meals in the attached dining area. Or sit by the fireplace in the main floor living room. And, there is a large garage to place your canoes, kayaks, or bikes.

An entire family-friendly open concept home with parking for four cars, plus garage to store your canoe, kayak, or bike. You have access to the whole property including spacious, private patio and dock that overlooks the conservation area and Cedar Creek waterway, as well as access to the creek for paddle boards (provided), and canoes and kayaks. You are a 5-10 minute drive to a grocery story, or a short walk to the local bakery, beach, or marina.

I can easily be reach if you have any questions or concerns.

The cottage sits nestled between Cedar Creek canal and Lake Erie, on the creek side with a mix of residential and cottage owners who enjoy the waterfront views, nearby Cedar Beach, the local bakery and more.

You can jog, bike, or walk along the paths on the side of Heritage road. Walk to Cedar Beach, or launch your canoe or kayak in the Cedar Creek canal in the backyard. It's a quick 5 minute drive to the amenities in Kingsville, or another 5 minutes in the opposite direction to wine country.

For paddle board (we provide 2), canoe and kayak enthusiasts, this is the perfect location to start off your paddling adventure through Cedar Creek Conservation area and paddle through the conservation area, or all the way out to Lake Erie. You can also put bikes in the garage for safe and secure overnight storage if you’re planning on biking to a winery, or heading out on the local trails. For nature lovers and bird watches, you can watch many different species of birds and ducks fly and float by, as well as various creatures. And if you have a good eye, you can find the eagle’s nest in the conservation area by looking out from the second floor balcony.
