No complaints. The place was very clean and comfortable. Only thing is there was no paddle boat as shown in the pictures.

Our apologies. We recently had to "retire" the pedal boat. We have updated our amenities list and photos to include that change

We absolutely loved our stay at Hillside Getaway. The cottage is even more wonderful than we hoped for—it’s so beautifully maintained and impressively stocked with everything we could possibly need. From the cozy linens to the well-equipped kitchen and all the little thoughtful touches, you’ve truly thought of everything! It feels like a home away from home, and it’s clear how much care and attention you put into every detail.We’re incredibly grateful for your hospitality and commitment to creating a five-star experience. The views and hot tub were the highlights! We truly made such special memories here, and we can’t wait to be back! Thank you for sharing this lovely getaway with us.

Gorgeous setting, especially in the midst of fall colours! Immaculate, comfortable cottage (aside from dirty dishes, left from previous guests, found in the cupboard)! Good communication, overall, but host did not acknowledge/answer questions asked mid-stay. Very well-stocked kitchen, minus a microwave. Bathroom has no electrical outlet. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely return!

Beautiful winter getaway!

We stayed for 2 nights at Hillside in Feb 2025. This accommodation was the perfect location for a picturesque and relaxing winter getaway. We were able to access the property with ease and found the paths and deck very well cleaned for the winter weather. The inside of the cottage was beautifully decorated with quaint and classic charm. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace each night and enjoyed the view from the deck. It was the perfect place to unplug from the norm and enjoy a thoughtful experience. The hot tub also provided a nice feature to enhance relaxation and enjoy being outdoors in the winter. Overall the accommodations are very cozy, clean and well maintained. We cooked lovely meals in the full kitchen each evening and enjoyed coffee with a view each morning. I highly recommend this property for couples and families alike. I cannot wait to return in the summer months to enjoy the lake experience. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Why they chose this property

Here you will find the real Quebec cottage experience. Mature maple trees surround the cottage and the views of Lac McArthur are magnificent. Each season brings its own features, from brilliant fall colours to the soft snows of winter to the gentle summer breezes coming off Lac McArthur. And the soft green hues of spring-time have to be seen to be believed!
