Updated Riverfront Cottage with Lake Access & StarLink, for Recreationalists!

Welcome to the North River Retreat! This is a (non-smoking and no-ashtray) riverfront cottage with diverse wildlife, and bodes well for outdoor adventurer families/friends/couples looking to fish, boat, kayak and more. Wake to the morning sunrise on the deck or dock, coffee in hand, listening to the sounds of the river. Experience sun exposure all day, sunrise to sunset. For rainy days and to stay connected we have STARLINK Internet & AMAZON Fire TV, board games, and a Mini original Nintendo.

Your rental will come with the use of a paddleboat and two kayaks. Bring-Your-Own Watercrafts is encouraged! Drop your watercraft in the lake at the public boat launch, south on Anderson Road (Google "Anderson Road, K0L 1Z0")! From there, boat to our dock in a few minutes. Fish populations are plentiful. Large and Smallmouth Bass, many Bluegill/Perch/Rock Bass for kids, Muskie and Pickerel in the lake. The ecosystem on this river is lively beyond fish, from birds to river otters, herons, frogs, turtles and more.

Please note the riverfront is NOT for the primary beachcomber looking to lay and swim at a beach or lakefront! Lily pads and weed growth are plentiful, summer & fall. We do run a water circulator during summer rental season to keep the water as clear as we can for enjoyment off the dock. Catch a tan by laying on the dock or floating in the river, and refresh in the water with a swim off the dock-end or deeper part of the river. If you fancy walking into waters from shore, there are public boat launches on Round Lake you can visit, Booster Park Beach on Crowe Lake, or public waterfront spaces on Stony Lake (like Quarry Bay Beach, 17 minutes drive).

To save you money, we charge a nominal cleaning fee per stay. In return, we ask that you voluntarily bring your own linens (bathing towels, pillow cases, and bed sheets or sleeping bags) for your stay. Bed sizes: one twin, one double, one queen, and a pull-out sofa. Having said that, there are lots of pillows, and the beds shall be tidy for your arrival. If you forgot linens, you may find sets for use at additional charges ($10 per room per night may be added to your final pricing at check-out, to cover cleaning and laundering requirements).
