Nature Oasis: Waterfront, pet friendly, kayaks, SUPs, dock, 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, kayak and paddle board (we have 2 of each), or canoe 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 paddle board. 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 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 5-10 minute drive to the amenities in Kingsville, or another 5 minutes in the opposite direction to wine country.
For kayak and paddle board (we provide 2 of each), and canoe 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.

This was one of the best homes we have stayed at!! The check in was easy, the hosts were great and they even had an area for our dog!! Great spot for weekend getaway from the city or just want a quiet time looking and enjoying the sounds of nature.
The property was awesome. Exactly what we needed for 3 couples. The location was great, close to town and the winery's. The views from the patio where also outstanding, every morning we got to seat outside with our coffees and what all the birds, which included 2 bald eagles. I highly recommend booking this spot for you next couple retreat!
The house was very clean, comfortable, and the hosts were very welcoming and responsive. We spent a lot of time in the backyard, enjoying the amazing wildlife. So close to everything, beaches, tourist attractions, wineries. Couldn’t have asked for anything more!
Very enjoyable stay at a wonderful home with easy access to many local area attractions and charming towns. We would recommend this property to anyone choosing to stay in the area.
Well appointed in all regards and lots of room for 3 couples to stay.
Property manager was quick with responses and very helpful as well.
What a beautiful place to stay in. So much space. Beds were great. Furniture was comfortable. Close to so many places to go too and shop, winery's, and great restaurants to choose from. Hosts were so grest to get a hold of if we had questions. The 5 of us just loved it and had fun.
House was clean, comfortable, was in a great location for our needs and the owners were very accommodating. There were 6 of us that were in town for the weekend for a wedding and the 3 bedroom, 3 bath home was exactly what we needed. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It seems like there is plenty to do related to the lake if you have the time for that.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Nothing was better than watching the different birds and fish. Very relaxing. We rate this property the best! Most equipped home. Everything at your fingertip. Would love to go back.
Very clean and felt like home. Communication with the hostess was amazing. The back yard was a mini oasis. The only thing was the May bugs they were terrible this time of year, but nothing the hostess could control with Mother Nature, heard it means the lake and eco system is at its best. Thank you for making our experience a great one.
The property looked promising and turned out to be even better than expected. This full-size home is clean, quiet, well laid out and very comfortable. The beds are cozy, there are 3 washrooms with great showers and the kitchen is large and well-stocked.
We were in town for a wedding, but I would love to return just to relax and get away for a few days.
The place was gorgeous. They really went all out on supplies, kitchen, dog; there's more, but I don't want to ruin the surprise.
The view - I got up early just so I could watch the birds run and land on the water or dive for fish. I didn't know I was so into birds, nature at your doorstep. My dog had a great time too!
Our less than stellar review above is due to the following disappointments:
The fireplace didn’t work and the glass front of it was filthy
A deck on the second floor was so filthy as to be unusable
Entrance to the house unsafe at night due to a front door light that didn’t work
The bbq grill was filthy
We had to contact the hosts to get Netflix to work
The upstairs windows were filthy
Kitchen ware was less than adequate
Our overall impression was that this property which has many nice features has been neglected and in its present state is not worth the rent they charge. We would not lease this property again. It didn’t meet the expectations of the standards we expected from Vrbo. Thank you for this opportunity to share our experience.
The property was spotless, the amenities were abundant. Everything we needed was supplied, above and beyond our expectations. The beds were super comfortable and had great night's sleep. The property location was great and really enjoyed our stay.
