The Drifted Inn is a studio cottage that has everything you need. I fell in love with the home, location on the river (lots of sunsets) and wildlife that visits. With no internet or television, my husband and I played games and read to one another while sitting on the deck enjoying the day. We haven't connected like that in 20 years. It was so special.The host will send you recommendations of places to visit; do yourself a favor and do them. The bakeries and shops were delicious. We purchased a steak from the butcher and grilled it at the cottage; unbelievable tender and flavorful.Just extra tips for future guests, even though there is no 'freezer', they have an ice maker so no need to bring a cooler just to keep ice on hand. Also, there are no closets or dressers (or at least that I saw). We kept our clothes in our suitcases, or you can bring a portable clothes rack.I can't wait to go back.

Super lovely cottage! We loved having the private beach access, and probably our favourite part was watching the large ships go down the channel- it was especially handy to have the Know Your Ships 2022 book to give us more information on the boats that would be coming through (we even downloaded the Marine Traffic App)!
We enjoyed some fishing out back, and the hammock as well. Amherstburg is a super nice little town that we loved exploring. We mostly hung around the cottage and played board games, but enjoyed visiting the small stores and having frozen yogurt in town!
Only "down side" was that there were a lot of spiders outside! Thought we'd give a warning- however it was definitely manageable and wouldn't deter us from staying again :) 5 stars all around, thank you for a wonderful stay!
