About this property

Welcome to the North River Retreat! This is a riverfront cottage with diverse wildlife, and bodes well for outdoor adventurer families/friends/couples looking to fish, boat, kayak and more! Wake to the morning sunrise on the deck or dock, coffee in hand, listening to the sounds of the river. Experience sun exposure all day, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets at dusk! For rainy days and to stay connected, we have STARLINK Internet & AMAZON Fire TV, board games, and a Mini original Nintendo containing hundreds of classic video and arcade games! Please note there is no hot tub! If your VRBO is saying "yes" to a hot tub, there is a glitch in VRBO's property amenities.

Your rental will come with the use of a paddleboat and two kayaks! Bring-Your-Own Watercrafts is highly encouraged! Drop your watercraft in the lake at the public boat launch, minutes away, south on Anderson Road (Google "Anderson Road, K0L 1Z0")! From there, boat to our dock in minutes!

Beautiful Round Lake is a short boat ride down the river! Fish populations are plentiful. Large and Smallmouth Bass, many Bluegill/Perch/Rock Bass for kids, Muskie and Pickerel for avid fishing. The ecosystem on this river is lively beyond fish, from birds to river otters, herons, frogs, turtles and more.

Please note the riverfront is not for the primary beachcomber looking to lay and swim at a beach, or deep lakefront! Catch a tan by floating in the river, or refresh in the water with a swim off the end of our floating dock, but lily pads and weed growth are plentiful mid-summer & into September. We do run a water circulator during summer rental season to keep the water crisp and clear for enjoyment off the end of the dock! If you fancy walking into waters right at shore, there are public boat launches on Round Lake you can visit. Alternatively, Booster Park Beach on Crowe Lake, or public waterfront spaces on Stony Lake are not too far away! Visit Lakefield for lunch if you head to Stony Lake! Also visiting beautiful Campbellford and Northumberland County just south of Havelock could be something of interest to you!

To save you money, we do not charge any up-front linen fees! In return, we ask that you voluntarily bring your own: a) bathing towels, b) pillow cases or pillows, and c) bed sheets (twin/double/queen) for your personal comfort. Having said that, there are lots of pillows, and the beds will be tidy for arrival. If you forgot linens, you will find sets for use (at an added charge of $10 per room per night), in the respective bedrooms.

Thank you for visiting our VRBO page and we hope you'll choose to visit us soon for your Ontario out-of-door adventures. Please message us if you have any questions, follow us on Instagram @northriverretreat and check our our Youtube channel for some drone videos of the surrounding area, @northriverretreathavelock.

Great spot

We spent a fall weekend with our 8-year-old and dogs. We all had a great time. The property is exactly as described. We spent much of our time on the river and the fire pit at the edge of the river was wonderful. Comfortable home with everything you need. It was great to have shopping amenities 8 minutes away. Overall perfect for what we wanted and we'd be happy to return.

Great vacation spot

We had a great time at the river retreat! The cottage is perfectly comfortable and has gorgeous views of the river. The hosts are generous and very attentive and super helpful and quick to respond. Kayaking in the river was amazing and lots of wildlife to see and hear.

About the host

Hosted by North River Retreat

We want and hope others can come and enjoy the Ontario out of doors, in a clean and quaint, newly renovated (inside and out!) four-season waterfront property!

Why they chose this property

It is quiet and peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle. There are few other residence in this area. It feels like seclusion and tranquility only minutes from town and the Trans-Canada-Highway (ON Highway 7 to Ottawa). The cottage looks directly south down a beautiful winding river. Simply sitting on the deck with a coffee or tea, listening to the wildlife can be enjoyment enough! Want to be active? Paddleboat or Kayak the river! Active individuals should have no problem kayaking south to Round Lake right from the dock!

What makes this property unique

This property displays granite rock, marking the southern beginnings of the Canadian Shield. It is quaint and peaceful, and we are seeking guests looking for the same. We can't overstate the abundance of wildlife. Birds and hummingbirds, River Otters, Blue Herons every morning & Owls and Eastern Whippoorwills in the evening. Firefly season is a spectacle of lights! Varying species of fish (bluegill, rockbass, muskie, large and small mouth bass, walleye, etc.). Loons will come from Round Lake right up the river to feed. The property is also proximal to some nice small towns other than Havelock. Lakefield and the Kawarthas to the west, Apsley to the north, and the Trent River, Hastings and Campbellford to the south. Last but not least, the beauty of Stony lake and surrounding areas for sightseeing!
