LIFE ON THE WATER
The river is the heart of the cottage.

As evening arrives, gather around the waterfront firepit, relax by the gas fire table or watch one of the sunsets that gave the cottage its name.

A COTTAGE FOR EVERY SEASON
Every season brings a different reason to escape to the river.
Summer is for long waterfront days, fishing, boating and evenings outside.
Fall brings changing leaves, crisp mornings, migrating birds, great fishing and cozy nights beside the fireplace or firepit.
Winter brings a completely different kind of waterfront escape — peaceful river views, warm evenings by the gas fireplace and seasonal activities such as ice fishing when local conditions safely permit.
Spring brings migrating birds, wildlife and the surrounding landscape back to life.
Dunnville and the Lower Grand River are particularly appealing for birdwatchers. The area's wetlands, grasslands, river and Lake Erie shoreline provide habitat for migratory, nesting and wintering birds throughout the year.
