The Area
River House Getaway is located in Vienna, Ontario, a small rural town at the heart of Elgin County, just 6 minutes from Port Burwell on the shores of Lake Erie. This area is renowned for its stunning countryside, natural landscapes, and abundant outdoor recreational activities. Visitors can take pleasure in hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, and boating on the Otter Creek that runs through the cottage's backyard and flows into the nearby Lake Erie.
In addition to Vienna's natural beauty and Otter Creek, nearby Port Burwell offers a variety of outdoor activities. Visitors can relish the sandy beach at Port Burwell Provincial Park, where they can swim, sunbathe, and relax along with their furry friends. The park also boasts hiking and biking trails, picnic areas, and camping facilities. Fishing enthusiasts can try their luck at the Port Burwell pier or book a fishing charter. For those interested in history, the War Submarine HMCS OJIBWA museum provides an opportunity to explore a retired submarine and learn about Canada's naval history. Furthermore, the area features several restaurants, shops, and galleries for visitors to explore.
To fully enjoy your vacation and explore the nearby attractions, a car is recommended. Consider venturing out to explore more of the region. Just a 20-minute drive from Tillsonburg, the Annandale National Historic Site is well worth a visit. If you have an interest in wildlife and stunning landscapes, Aylmer is home to impressive wildlife management areas, lavender farms, farmers' markets, and wineries. Fortunately, the scenic drives from our location to popular destinations like Toronto, London, Woodstock, and Guelph are all just around 1.5 hours away.
