The Area

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.
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.

Great getaway for families
Hosts were very accommodating - very responsive & tried to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The place was super clean and cozy, had everything you needed for the stay. The neighbourhood was very quiet, almost felt like we were the only ones there. The views from the living room and the dining tables were beautiful :) we'd definitely recommend!
