Windsor Vacation Rentals

Windsor is a city with both a geographical quirk - it's almost the only place on the border where you go south to enter Canada - and historical infamy. It was once a source for liquor smuggled over the border during prohibition. Today, it offers visitors plenty to see and do while its rich diversity promotes a vibrant gastronomic scene. For your Windsor stay, select short term rental accommodation that ranges from city apartments and historic houses to rustic rural cottages.

Windsor's Art and Cultural scene

If the sun is shining, visit Windsor Sculpture Park with its 35 huge exhibits.

Alternatively, if the weather isn't so good, spend a couple of hours at the Art Gallery of Windsor.

This long-established venue has one of the country's best displays of Canadian art.

Nightlife in Windsor

There are four casinos in the Detroit-Windsor area to choose from but Caesars Windsor will be closest to your vacation short term rental. Its decor is Ancient Roman but its gaming is right up to date.

Also thriving in the city is a tightly-knit underground music scene featuring indie, metal, rock and soul.

You'll find live music shows any evening of the week at popular venues such as Villains or the Phog Lounge.

While Away the Hours in Windsor

Explore Windsor's History

A historic site close to any Windsor accommodation is Willistead Manor, designed in the Tudor-Jacobean style by Albert Kahn. Inside are many rooms to explore while its beautiful grounds play host to Arts in the Park every June. François Bâby House is now home to Windsor's Community Museum while the Sandwich First Baptist Church was established by successful users of the Underground Railroad.

Ojibwe Prairie Complex

Plan a day out from your short term rental with a visit to the Ojibway Prairie Complex. Hike or cycle through its different nature reserves before learning about its history, flora and fauna in the Educational Centre. Keep an eye out for a huge variety of birds as well as lizards, frogs, turtles, snakes and, in the evening, bats.

Roy A. Battagello River Walk Bike Trail

Enjoy a few hours on the eight-kilometre long Roy A. Battagello River Walk Bike Trail. It winds its way from Ambassador Bridge through Downtown Windsor to Dieppe Gardens and the Windsor Sculpture Park. Take time out to enjoy the views or tuck into a picnic prepared in your Windsor accommodation.
