Fantastic view of Chippewa Bay on the St Lawrence River, islands, fisherman, and gorgeous sunsets. Fire pit every night while watching the sunset. Area is very quiet. Locals are so very friendly (special mention to Alice). Fished the schoals in the Bay for bass and perch. Caught many. Beds are super comfy. Great WiFi. Rented Brett's pontoon and kept it moored at the dock right down from the cottage. All in all a great experience.

This was our second year staying at the hill top cottage. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Great communication with the owner. Check in was easy. Cottage is well stocked with everything you need. Nice deck to sit on to view the bay. Has a dock for your boat with electricity to charge boat batteries. Will be back again next year.

My family and two dogs enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Cottage was clean and well stocked with all the necessities. Brett was a very hospitable host, always helpful and available if needed. The cottage is also in a great location with beautiful sunsets. We rented a pontoon during our stay and we had a great time fishing everyday.

We had a great time once again and good weather to enjoy every minute while out on the water in the pontoon boat, be it fishing or just pleasure boating after dinner. Brett, thank you for responding to all of our needs and answering all of our questions.
