We had such a wonderful time at the cottage. It was clean, cozy, comfortable and had everything we needed and more for a family getaway. The hosts were excellent, very welcoming and responsive. It was a great location, in town but very peaceful and quiet surroundings. The dock and campfire were a hit. Lots of swimming and kayaking were done. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

This was a wonderful stay. The cottage is in an ideal location, in the town of Port Carling but on the deck or water it is quiet and beautiful. The little cove was right beside a set of locks that gives you access to the river way or in the opposite direction you open up to a large waterway to Lake Rousseau. It was great for our kids (11&13) for swimming and paddle boarding. Cam and Karen are next door and fabulous hosts. The cottage was exactly as described and we had a memorable time.
