Welcome to Ironwood Cottages! Make memories at this unique and pet-friendly 1920s renovated lakefront cottage. This central location is minutes from unique dining experiences and the Epic Wine Country route. Spend your days dining at the cottage, indoors or out, watching the waves of Lake Erie, sitting on our manmade beach, swimming using the natural stone stairs down to the water, enjoying a fire, and watching the sunrises and sunsets. An easy drive down the 401, or a quick drive from the border, join us to get away and take a breath in a relaxed atmosphere.

Our lakefront cottage is on a large lot, with beautiful shade trees on the shores of Lake Erie. The two-story cottage has a wall of windows facing the lake, one main floor bedroom, king bed, with an ensuite bath, and two queen bedrooms upstairs. Another full bathroom on the main floor is available for all guests. The cozy kitchen overlooks the water and makes kitchen prep and clean up a peaceful experience. The large living room and dining room table means a great place to reconnect with family and friends in the evenings and play board games or cards. Or just watch TV by the gas fireplace. Head out to the manmade beach to make sandcastles and watch the waves or sunbathe. Enjoy time by an outdoor fire as the sun goes down. Then bring a coffee out in the morning to sit on one of our Muskoka chairs and watch the birds fly over the water as the sun rises. Walk along the break wall and watch the boats near and far. For a swim, enter the water with our natural stone steps shared with our next-door neighbour, or take a few minute walk to Cedar Beach for one of the biggest sandy beaches in the area. You, your friends, and your family can make memories to last a lifetime on the lake.

With ample parking, you are a 5-10 minute drive to a grocery story, or a short walk to the local bakery, beach, or marina. You can bike, run, or walk along Heritage Road on the walking path as well.

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

The property is along the lakefront stretch of Lake Erie with a mix of residential and cottage owners who enjoy the lake views, the 4 minute walk to Cedar Beach, the local bakery and more. The summer scene is a vibrant one, with people outdoors having campfires, visiting, playing music, and generally enjoying the outdoors with friends and family. Fall is more laid-back as people start to enjoy the change of seasons. Winter is stunning, with the sounds of ice cracking on the water. And spring brings back the wildlife that is so fun to watch.

We have large amount of free parking, and you can jog, bike, or walk along the paths on the side of Heritage road. Walk a few minutes to Cedar Beach, or take your canoe or kayak to Cedar Island marina to use Cedar Creek. It's a quick 5 minute drive to the amenities in Kingsville, or another 5 minutes in the opposite direction to wine country.

Our lakefront cottage is a place for making memories. We are reminded of family times together watching the water, laughing at jokes and having a glass of local wine. Or playing soccer in the large, grassy yard, with the bbq going and the waves splashing against the break wall. For breakfast, pull out the waffle maker, then pop some chili in the crockpot and head out for a day of local site seeing, or bike riding to the wineries for the more adventurous. As a family we love just being together in a stress-free environment.
