This area is renowned for its stunning countryside, natural landscapes, and abundant outdoor recreational activities.

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.

No mention of pet fee in booking.
Although there is an option to click to say you have pets, when clicked there is no mention of any pet fee. But you will get hit with one should you stay. Wouldnt be a problem if it wasnt just thrown on at the very end. Well after checkout.

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!

Awesome Anniversary and birthday getaway
It was a very charming and relaxing place, that was professionally maintained and cleaned. What a cozy little place located right by the river and a small hill in the backyard! The owners have taken care of every little detail to make your stay comfortable and happy. It was just the perfect 2 night getaway for our anniversary and birthday! Everything was perfect, including the hot tub and the backyard bonfire! We had everything we wanted down to microwave popcorn! Thanks so much to the owners.

The best weekend stay!!
My boyfriend and I had the most lovely, cozy, fun weekend staying at The River House! The house and backyard were absolutely perfect. We also spent an afternoon at Pinecroft nearby, which I would totally recommend if you’re staying here. Overall our stay was 10/10 and we would definitely return :)
