Step out of the front door unto the shallow entry beach, perfect for young families! We recommend water shoes for the odd clam. Enjoy family time and some s’mores around the camp fire, we supply the wood. Our newly renovated 3 season cottage has 4 bedrooms. The first bedroom has a queen bed. The second bedroom has a single bed. The third bedroom has a bunk bed with a double mattress on the bottom and a single mattress on top. The fourth bedroom has a double bed. The bedding and pillows are provided. The cottage has 1 bathroom, a full kitchen, high speed internet, TV, Netflix, Roku, and a fire pit.

We are located 12 minutes from Food Basics, Canadian Tire, Walmart, Home Depot, Tim Hortons, LCBO, and The Beer Store.
There are plenty of things to do in "the valley". World class kayaking is just 10 minutes up the river! Go zip lining at Logos Land Resort or try whitewater rafting or kayaking. Also you can visit the Bonnechere caves in Eganville. Manicured trails for hiking, biking and ATV trails are only minutes away. We have plenty of room to park your ATV trailers and ride the trails.

Great beach for little ones since it is very shallow for a long way out. Bringing the chairs down there was an excellent idea suggested by the hosts.Lots of dishes and cutlery and a nice large fridge and microwave. Great deck too with lots of room for all six of us. Parking was fine for three vehicles too.The only suggestions I would make is to replace the sliding door to the bedroom next to the kitchen since it is a little stiff and noisy in the night when getting up for a bathroom break, adding another mirror somewhere since there is only one small one in the bathroom, and putting a light over the kitchen sink.Thanks for a lovely stay Laurie and Kevin. It was nice to meet you and chat throughout the week and learn more about the area.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Aug 2026
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We do appreciate your feedback and the suggestions you’ve made. Regarding the bedroom door beside the kitchen, if we had known it was squeaky and stiff during your stay, we certainly could have addressed it for you. We would have been happy to fix it so it wouldn’t have disturbed your sleep. As for the mirror, it is a cottage, and there is a mirror in the bathroom, which we felt was sufficient for the space. Regarding the light over the kitchen sink, there is a very bright, approximately two-foot-round ceiling light located directly over the sink, so we’re a little surprised that you found the lighting insufficient. We appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. We always try our best to make our guests’ stays comfortable, and we’ll certainly keep your comments in mind. Thank you again for your review, and we wish you all the best with your future travels.

We had a relaxing time at the cottage. The owners were very helpful, and the cottage is well stocked for all your needs. The fishing was alot of fun, although we would recommend beach shoes due to the clams. The sunsets are amazing! Such a quiet spot, but yet close to activities like white water rafting, the Bonnechere caves, and any shopping necessities. A lovely spot for a family vacation.

Beautiful peaceful cottage

We had an amazing stay! The cottage is very nice, clean & spacious. Lovey outdoor area with lots of seating & grill. The beach is just steps away & the water was so warm. The sunsets were absolutely stunning. I would 100% recommend this place & would go here again. The hosts were super friendly welcoming people.

Great Beach, Tight squeeze for more than 3-4 people

Great beach, long shallow entry with few weeds. Beautiful sunsets. Cottage very clean, reasonably well stocked. Although cottage technically sleeps 8, the common spaces are really crowded if you have more than 4 people. Also, there is a flood berm between cottage and beach that is not shown in photos so not quite as picturesque as in photos. That said we had a good time and hosts were very responsive.

Wonderful cottage get-away!

Had a wonderful time. Kevin and Laurie were outstanding hosts! Beach and sunsets were amazing. Cottage was impressively well stocked and impecably clean. Only surprise was that the bathroom did not have a sink but we set up a washbasin stand using a 20L camping water jug with a spout, a dish pan and soap. Worked great. Everyone had so much fun. Thanks Kevin & Laurie.

Lovely retreat

The beach is so shallow entry you will likely give up walking before you get much past your waist. But the water is warm and the sand is soft (beware the clams), and the river seemed deserted during the week. The water toys and equipment provided by the hosts were more than enough to keep my older kids entertained. Lots to do in the area - especially loved the Bonnechere Caves. The cottage itself is cute and has everything you need. The living quarters would be tight for more than four people, I think.

Great end-of-summer gateway

Kevin and Laurie have been wonderful hosts. The cottage was spotless, with a lot of new modern touches. Sunsets are amazing, and we were lucky to be there post-season, so not sure how busy the beach gets during the summer. Water was very shallow. Great and safe for families with small children, but if you expecting to jump into the water this is not your location (at no fault to Laurie and Kevin!) This cottage met our goals and gave us the opportunity to unwind and relax!

Great Spot with the best sunset.

We stayed for a week at the end of august and had a great time. There was enough space for 3 adults and 4 kids ages 7 to 13 and fur kids. The cottage was fully stocked with almost anything you can think of and well cared for. The beach is very shallow very far out, the kids loved that and all the equipment we could borrow for water activities was a great plus. We went fishing most mornings with the kayaks and canoe and caught lots of different fish. Perch, Blue gill, bass, pickerel....cat fish lol. Kevin and Laurie were very helpful and informative, best fishing spot, cheapest grocery store, etc. Highly recommend a stay here. Also don't forget to bring water shoes, theres clams and the shells can be sharp if you happen to step on one.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin & Laurie Bowman

Host profile image
Hi, we are Laurie and Kevin Bowman. I am a newly retired RN. I worked for 37 years in NICU in London Ontario and I so miss the babies 😊. My husband, Kevin, worked as a professional event photographer, but now works part time blowing in spray foam insulation. We have 2 sons who are presently in college. We are “valley friendly” people and just want to make your holiday great!

Why they chose this property

This property is right on the BEACH! The water is shallow and warm with NO undertow to worry about, perfect for young families. The area is very QUIET. The cottage is on a private road so there is very little traffic. Also the water is between rapids upriver and downriver therefore next to no boat traffic. On a busy summer weekend there might be 8 people on the beach and you might see a pontoon boat go by! It’s very peaceful. The cottage has been newly renovated so everything is new and modern. We also supply the wood for the campfire and propane for the BBQ.

What makes this property unique

We have lots of toys! We have 2 standup paddle boards, 2 kayaks, 2 canoes, 2 boogie boards, a windsurfer, a HUGE floating mat and multiple floating boards. The cottage has games, puzzles and books for the whole family to enjoy.
