About this property

Little House on the River

Come visit our cottage on beautiful Crowe River, 10 minutes north of Havelock and only 2.5 hours from Toronto! This well kept two bedroom 4 season home boasts room to entertain, sleeps up to 8 people with central air, a large fire pit, sandy beach front and a large deck with a screened in sunroom overlooking the water. You’ll fall in love with this location which is perfect for couples, families with kids or even business travellers.


The kitchen has all appliances including a microwave, air fryer, oven and refrigerator. There is both a Keurig coffee maker as well as a kettle. The cottage has a newer furnace, central air conditioning and potable water.

The Crowe river flows out of Belmont Lake and the cottage is approximately 500 m to the larger lake giving peaceful water front in a no wake zone with minimal boat traffic. During high water levels, visitors should be cautious of the current in the middle of the river, however water close to the shore is unaffected. The river is also great for fishing (bass, pickerel, Pike, Muskie)

Inside the cottage there are two comfortable bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and the other with a queen bed and single futon . There are also 3 other futons to use, 1 upstairs and 2 downstairs as along with a single bed. There is a walk out from the basement to a covered sitting area with an outdoor couch and chairs. There is a Fisher wood burning stove in the basement to enjoy quiet time indoors. The deck also has a patio table and lounge chairs for relaxing as you BBQ on a newer propane barbecue. There is also a smaller second BBQ below the deck if needed.

The cottage is situated on a gently sloping lot down to the water with a sandy walk in area. There is seating by the water and fire pit. A small amount of wood will be provided and more can be purchased locally.

There are 2 TVs, a PS3, Nintendo Mini Gaming System and DVD players with movies for you to use in case it rains. There is no cable or satellite TV but there is an Apple TV to use and you can access your own Netflix account.

There are two kayaks, a standup paddleboard and a paddle boat that you are able to use during your stay. Lifejackets are available and recommended.

Enjoy a coffee in the screened in sunroom, lunch or dinner on the deck and a beverage under the stars by the fire pit!

The cottage comes with linens, comforters and blankets to make your stay comfortable. Please bring your own towels.

Cottage stay

Stayed at this property last week. We were very impressed with how clean everything was, both inside and outside. There was lots to do between the paddle boards, cayaks, and games available. The hosts texted me to make sure all was good. Overall, a great experience!

Crowe River Getaway

It was nice to get away from the routine. We spent some time on the river, took in a couple local attractions and spent time playing games. Having access to the SUPs, kayaks, peddle boat and lawn games…this cottage kept us entertained.

R&R

This home was more delightful than we expected, and we are so thankful that we could enjoy this home. The home was fully equipped, and the water activities kept everyone busy. The days were too short and the time moved quickly. Absolutely perfect. We will be back.

Amazing stay..... Again!

This is our third time staying at the cottage... We absolutely love it. This time, we took my parents, 11 year old niece and our 1 year old son! Everyone had such a blast. There's something to do for everyone, you couldn't possibly get bored. The cottage itself is very well kept, the property is perfect. The beach entry with thr sand was our sons favourite part. Our dog even loves jumping off the dock! It's safe to say this is a cottage our family will visit for as long as Dale and Becky let's us! Thanks for helping us making great memories, again!

3rd summer in a row!

This was our third summer enjoying this lovely cottage. Dale & Becky are wonderful hosts. My daughters really love the beach entry and using the kayaks and SUPs to explore. They especially like seeing all the turtles. We can’t wait to go back next summer ☀️

Everything you could need in a cottage

While its listed as a "little house", it packs a punch in terms the amenities (bbq, kayaks, paddleboard, volley ball,) and comforts afforded. (A/C, wifi and good water pressure, etc..._ The sun soaked deck is perfect for whiling away the day, and if you get bored of that, its just a hop-skip to the dock. The hosts are friendly and easy to communicate with, and check in is a breeze. Would highly recommend both for an activity filled vacation, or one where R&R is the game.

Wonderful Cottage

This is a very wonderful cottage. I highly recommend it. Dale and Rebecca are very gracious and helpful hosts. There are a variety of different things to do inside and outside the cottage. We also enjoyed having different places to sit in the cottage. The kitchen is very well stocked with plates, cups, cutlery, pots and pans. We found the cottage to be very clean. It was also a very easy place to tidy up when we left. The cottage is well situated to Belmont Lake.

Perfect for the family!

The cottage was clean, in great condition and overall exceeded our expectations. The air conditioning plus the included wifi along with the quick responses from Dale and Rebecca were just one of the many great things to name a few. Along with all of this, the highlight of our stay was the many activities we did in the river. The river was not deep, it stretched all the way to the lake and it had practically no waves nor any strong current making this an excellent place to swim with our kids. Overall, we had a fantastic time at the cottage!

2nd visit as great as the first!

This was our second stay here. Lovely deck upgrade with the glass across the front for an unobstructed view of the water. The sand/beach walk in is such a great feature as well. We were out on the water most of the time we were there. We can’t wait to visit again!

Great house on the river

We spent two nights here and loved it. The place had everything we needed - from kayaks to a fire pit - to a fooseball table. Lots of activities. Dale was also great at responding right away to any questions we had. Would definitely stay again (just probably a different month - so many caterpillars everywhereee).

Honeymooners!

My now husband and I got married last weekend and we're so thankful we were able to find a cottage for our mini honeymoon. Dale was very responsive, answered all of our questions and was always available. The cottage itself was beautiful. It was clean when we arrived. The dock and water are the best part. I couldn't get my husband or dog out of it!! The water is so clear on the beach area and the water activities like kayak and paddle boards are so much fun. The fire pit is huge but a perfect way to end ur days. I think we know where we'll be next summer!!

Wonderful getaway!

Exactly what we needed-a beautiful and quiet get away on the river. The water is crystal clear and there are so many ways to enjoy it. From the beach entry to kayaks, SUP and of course just swimming! We fished off the dock, watched turtles bask in the sun and enjoyed camp fires at night. Very clean and well appointed cottage (with a Keurig machine!). The huge deck was perfect for our meals and we loved the screened in porch. Wonderful hosts, attentive and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be booking again next summer!
