This place is perfect for a family getaway especially for people with kids. Our kids loved the large open space and the playground as well as the pool. It was really lovely and everyone was very friendly and respectful. The hosts were also very friendly and accommodating as well. This is perfect for the people who want to unplug from the city life for a weekend. For clarification, the poor reviews are from people who are expecting a more modern hotel style cottage. These cottages are very rustic and more for people who don't care for modern architecture and technology. The cottage we stayed in was clean upon arrival and there were no issues.

Our family loved our stay and will definitely be back in the future. The staff was warm and welcoming and made every effort to make us feel comfortable. Our cottage was adorable and perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen had everything you could possibly want and the beds were very comfortable. Our children loved the swimming pool and the Iroquois beach was only a short drive away. There was lots of space to run around on the lawns and a playground and toy cars to play on. The view of the St Lawrence was spectacular and made for a gorgeous evening sitting on the dock, at the campfire or enjoying the sunset from our porch. We also enjoyed our day trip to Upper Canada Village which is only a short drive as well. I highly recommend this beautiful spot!

I thought the property was great for the value. It was clean, and well prepared. Everything was very well thought out, and brillianty laid out. I misread that there was a children's pool and a beach, but there is a beautiful beach 1km away I would definitely stay here again. Oh and we relived our childhood experiences at Upper Canada Village.

Check in was very easy. Our host was very friendly and provided clear instructions. Our cabin was ready and equipped with towels, dishes, and any cooking utensils we needed. It was perfect for a one or two night stay as we were traveling. Beyond that, there was not much storage or closet space or inside sitting space for a longer stay. We loved the porch overlooking the river, morning and night. The cabin is easily accessed from the highway and there are some good restaurants within 15 minutes. As someone who has done a lot of camping and cottaging I was comfortable with the rustic nature of the cabins, a few cobwebs on the windows and a few bugs. In fact, it was a very nostalgic throwback to simpler times in my life.

Calme et bon accueil. La description des lieux sur expedia est trompeuse. L'endroit est vieux, il y a des traces d'infiltration d'eau au plafond. L'eau est sulfureuse et sent mauvais au point où nous avons utilisé de l'eau en bouteille pour se brosser les dents et avons choisi de ne pas prendre de douche. Selon nous, le prix est trop élevé considerAnt la condition des lieux et la piètre qualité de l'eau.

Cottage vicino al fiume S. Lorenzo.

In 5 abbiamo soggiornato in questa struttura di 3 camerette, un minuscolo locale WC ed una doccia in altro ambiente, oltre ad un ampio locale soggiorno e cucina con terrazzo antistante. Il rapporto qualità prezzo risulta positivo.

Cottage Style on the Seaway

Cute little guest cottages, nice grounds, lots to do for wee ones and those who would use a pool. Great for ship watching as the Seaway channel is right there, and the Iroquois locks are only 2km away.
