Where Do I Stay?​
​
We are able to offer a list of available hotels, motels, inns, and bed & breakfasts in the area. Ridgetown is known as the "Friendliest Town". Small but quant, Ridgetown has its roots planted in the Southwestern Ontario landscape. Incorporated as a village in 1875, Ridgetown has a rich history with many historic homes and buildings. Ridgetown is located in the Chatham-Kent region of Southwestern Ontario - a mainly rural collection of villages and towns. Chatham is the largest town in the region and offers all amenities. Chatham-Kent is located approximately half way between London and Windsor. We are in the most southern region of Ontario - not located in the snow belt often associated with London.
