Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking

What kind of stays are Distillery Homes suited for? +

Distillery Homes works well for short stays, weekend getaways, family visits, executive travel, and extended work trips. All three properties are fully equipped with full kitchens, high-speed Wi-Fi, and private outdoor space — a comfortable alternative to Windsor hotels for any length of stay.

Are the properties family friendly? +

Yes. Distillery Homes offer the most family-friendly short-term rental options in Windsor. Each property has a large backyard perfect for kids, with spacious living areas and full kitchens so families don't need to eat out every meal. Popular with families visiting from Essex, Leamington, Kingsville, and across the border from Detroit, Michigan, Ohio State and Chicago, Illinois.

Is Distillery Homes suitable for business travellers and executives? +

Absolutely. Business travellers and executives visiting Windsor regularly choose Distillery Homes over traditional hotels for the privacy, space, and full kitchen. High-speed Wi-Fi, a quiet neighbourhood setting, and easy access to downtown Windsor make it ideal for executive stays of any duration.

Where exactly are you located? +

All four properties sit in the heart of Walkerville — Windsor's most walkable and historic neighbourhood. You're steps from the Windsor Train Station, Walkerville Brewery, JP Wiser's Distillery, local restaurants, and the Detroit River waterfront. No car needed for an evening out.

Do you offer transportation to and from the airport or to special events? +

Yes. We offer an eco-friendly transportation service exclusively for clients who book transportation in advance. Our fully licensed driver operates a Tesla Model Y and can transport you to and from Windsor Airport (YQG), Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Windsor hospitals, and sporting events or concerts in Detroit. Email hello@distilleryhomes.com to arrange your ride when booking your stay.

Can I book directly instead of through Airbnb? +

Yes — and we encourage it. Email hello@distilleryhomes.com to book directly. Direct bookings skip the Airbnb service fees and may qualify for a discount.

How is this different from staying in a Windsor hotel? +

Windsor hotels give you a room. Distillery Homes gives you a full heritage house with a private backyard, full kitchen, living room, and a neighbourhood you can actually explore on foot. No resort fees, no elevator, no lobby — just a home in one of Ontario's most storied historic districts.
