River front cottage close to the beach
Charming cottage retreat on the river with a spacious dock, kayaks and SUP board use included. Surrounded by nature and tucked away from the hustle and bustle, this tranquil retreat is perfect for those seeking rest, inspiration, or a cozy home base to explore all that Norfolk county has to offer. A short walk to downtown restaurants and shops, and the sandy palm tree beach. There are lots of great wineries and breweries nearby, and so many fun things to do for all ages. Enjoy Port Dover’s farmers market Saturday mornings, or the weekly car shows on Monday’s with live music. The Nature trails in the area are a great way to escape into nature, including a river with a water fall you can swim in. Enjoy our cottage with its newly renovated kitchen and bathroom, updated appliances and fast wifi. The dock is a lovely place to soak up the sun, read a book, do some fishing, or enjoy morning coffee and evening cocktails. Welcome to our paradise!
