Fabulous quite lake front. This rustic cottage is on one of Canada's (and United States)most historic waterways. The canoe route to the upper great lakes and western North America passes by your front window. Imagine all early indigenous travellers, explorers, courier de bois and fur traders used these same waters. The loon's gentle song added to evening grace and a morning wake up call. We had a lovely time.

Another Flawless Stay

Stayed for our fifth straight year and had a great time. We had 6 adults this year which is our most so far but the property is well suited for it. We stayed in the sleeper cabin for the first time and loved it, nothing beats waking up to that view! Great area, lots of nature and nearby activities, fishing off the dock and the kayaks were a hit. Cause a bass and a pike off the dock and saw a lot of animals at the cottage and out on our hikes - a fox, beaver, chipmunks, snake, salamander, frogs, fox, a MOOSE. Another great year, hope to be back soon!

Cottage Paradise

This is a beautiful tranquil cottage experience. The cottage and property are clean and well maintained, and you can tell the owners take pride in seeing that you have a fun and enjoyable stay. It is very private and there is an abundance of wildlife that will amaze you. These type of properties are becoming more difficult to find. This was our third time staying here and we have thoroughly enjoyed it every time. Thanks again to the owners for sharing this lovely cottage.

Cute cabin

Very cute cabin as the pictures showed but unfortunately for us we were limited to the cabin for the entire week as the blackflies were the worst ive ever seen (I grew up in northern ontario). Absolutely stunning riverside view and host was very nice but the blackflies definitely ruined our trip.

Peaceful and relaxing!

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at this beautiful, clean, well appointed and comfortable log cabin. Tiny is a very communicative hostess who thinks of all the little extra special things to make everything nicer. The location on the Mattawa River was idyllic. The history of the area was so thoroughly fascinating and important to our Canadian heritage. The town was quaint and the people very friendly. This is a top notch property in a beautiful location. We look forward to our return visit next fall to enjoy the spectacular fall colours. Thank you very much for your hospitality Tina!

Perfect Spot!

This was our third stay at this cabin for a fall ATV trip with some friends and family. Always spotless and well appointed. Three and a half days of rain didn't stop us from having a great time on the VMUTS trail system...which is conveniently just a short ride down the road. Just a few minutes from town yet very private. Everyone in our group loves this place.

The Perfect Getaway

Fourth stay for my girlfriend and I, and the best one yet. This beautiful cottage is such a peaceful, special place and has become a tradition for us to visit. Brought my parents for a couple of days so that they could see why we keep coming back, and they were extremely impressed! So clean and cozy. Best way to unwind and relax. Can’t wait to return next September! Thanks again Tina!

Fabulous Getaway

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful 5 night stay at the cottage. It is every bit as beautiful as in the photos, and spotlessly clean. We arrived and departed in the rain, so having the carport to park under right beside the door was fabulous as we have a convertible and needed to put the top down to get the cooler, etc. out of the back seat! The cottage is tastefully and very comfortably furnished, with a very comfortable bed, and the kitchen is very well stocked with good quality cookware, dishes and glasses, etc. Although our first 2 days were cold and gray, we still managed to get out and walk daily, including a great hike at the Eau Claire Gorge site. And even when indoors just relaxing and reading, we never tired of the lovely views of the water. Our last two days were gloriously warm and sunny, and we spent much of the day just sitting in the Adirondack chairs by the water (where my husband finally and happily caught - and released - two fish!), reading and basking in the sun. And we enjoyed two nights by the fire as well. Many thanks Tina for sharing your beautiful cottage with us, and for the treats you left on the table for us. We'd love to return sometime again, and highly recommend this rental.

Second great atv getaway

This was our second time staying at the cabin for a long weekend atv trip. We booked this cabin again since we were so impressed when we stayed last year. Very clean, cozy atmosphere and right down the road from the trail system. Highly recommended.

Second stay, still excellent

We love this property. The cottage is beautiful, equipped with all you might need. It is surrounded by pine trees, lovely view of the water, and very quiet! We are senior seniors lol, so we didn’t use the canoe or kayaks, but my husband loved fishing off the dock. We made good use of the outdoor kitchen. Lots of books and games inside, plus Netflix for rainy days.

Wonderful cottage.

Everything about this cottage is great. It is comfortable and well equipped, the swimming is great and the host, Tina, is wonderful. We were pleasantly surprised to find a nice bottle of wine and a Smore's kit waiting for us when we arrived, and a fire had been set for us in the fire pit. All we had to do was light it and get our fingers sticky! We have rented it fo 2022 and 2023. Dave and Dianne

Idyllic location, perfectly quaint and well appointed cottage.

Our first getaway following a lengthy lock down and we couldn’t have chosen a better spot. A quiet spot on the river with beautiful sunsets a cozy gorgeous cottage, linens were crisp and white, beds comfy and cozy. Not one detail overlooked by these fab owners, everything from sharp knives for food prep to shampoo, conditioner and body wash to a well stocked library of hardcover novels. Do yourself a favour and steal away for a quiet nap in the bunkie, did this on a rainy afternoon and it was glorious! Thank you Tina, Wayne and Louise. (Sonny misses you already)

This cabin was perfect for our fall ATV trip. It was very clean and cozy. The property is beautiful with a great view of the water. Plenty of room for parking. The trails are a short ride away.

Fantastic family retreat

We had a great long weekend relaxing at the log cabin. It was beautiful inside and out. We all enjoyed the Beach, kayaks, and fall colours. We even had a beaver and a loon visit us off the dock. This was our favourite cottage rental so far. It reminded me of the family cabin experience I had growing up - peaceful, private, beautiful and full of adventure. Thanks for everything Tina! We hope to be back again.

About the host

Hosted by Tina

Why they chose this property

We've loved this log cottage for years and when the owners decided to sell their much loved summer home, we were blessed to buy it for our children. It's still a few years away before they will use it, so we are renting it out so that it will still be enjoyed. One year, we spent Christmas day there as an ongoing tradition and we can't imagine a more perfect setting. What a treat! A wonderful family occasion with a roaring fire, board games, laughs and hot chocolate!

What makes this property unique

Nature at her best, white majestic pines, clean lake/river, privacy yet not far from town, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, peace & quiet, marshmallow roast, BBQ, history, museum, art gallery, hiking trails, good & inexpensive golf. And we could go on!
