About this property

Beautiful Waterfront Log Cottage with Dock, Beach & Sleep Cabin Near Mattawa

Escape to a warm and welcoming waterfront log cottage on Lake Chantplein, part of the historic Mattawa River Heritage Waterway. Surrounded by tall white pines and blessed with peaceful southern exposure, it is the kind of place where mornings begin with coffee on the dock, mist rising off the water, and the sound of loons in the distance.

Beautiful Log Cottage is ideal for couples, small families, and quiet getaways with friends. It sleeps up to 6 guests in 3 sleeping spaces: a king bedroom, a queen bedroom, and a separate sleep cabin with a queen bed for added privacy. The main cottage features a bright great room with a wall of windows overlooking the lake, a full kitchen, one bathroom with shower, a sun porch, propane fireplace, Wi-Fi, Netflix, good cell service, and board games for relaxed evenings indoors.

Days here can be as active or as restful as you like. Swim, paddle, read in the shade, enjoy meals outdoors, barbecue with family, or roast marshmallows under a sky full of stars. The cottage offers the privacy and charm of a true Northern Ontario retreat while remaining close to the conveniences of town.

The Town of Mattawa is just 5 km away, with groceries, pharmacy services, hospital care, restaurants, golf, a museum, and friendly small-town hospitality. Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park and the surrounding area offer easy access to nature, local history, and outdoor adventure.

Guests consistently praise the cottage for its cleanliness, comfort, and relaxing waterfront setting. It is a favourite with repeat guests seeking swimming, paddling, and quiet time by the lake. Whether you are planning a summer holiday, a couples’ escape, a family stay, or simply a few peaceful days by the water, Beautiful Log Cottage offers an easy and memorable getaway in the Mattawa area of Northern Ontario.

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.

Undoubtedly one of the most relaxing cottage experiences I've ever had! Lots of kayaking, canoeing, fishing and swimming for all and a beautiful view for reading / relaxing by the water. Also one of the quietest lakes I've ever stayed on. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and we were impressed by the well equipped kitchen.

Time Stands Still Here

This is a special place, where time stands still. My husband and son both caught pike off the end the dock, and we enjoyed kayaking around the lake. Unfortunately we could only stay a few days because a family crisis brought us home early.

This cabin is better than the pictures on homeaway.com

We enjoyed our stay at this Mattawa cabin, there were no complaints. The cabin was beautiful and situated on the Mattawa river/lake. The amenities were fine. It was nice to just step off the grid for awhile. Canoeing and kayaking was wonderful, the children fished, and the outdoor grilling area made me very envious. I would recommend this home/cabin to anyone.

About the host

Hosted by Tina

Host profile image
I’ve spent summers on this lake since I was a little girl, and later my children did too. Some of my happiest memories are here, and one of my dearest lifelong friends is from the area, which makes it even more special to me. I enjoy sharing this beautiful part of Northern Ontario with others and want guests to experience the same peace, beauty, and simple cottage pleasures that have meant so much to my family over the years. Being a host gives me the chance to welcome people to a place I genuinely love.

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!
