Summary: A beautiful cottage. Everything we needed for a fall retreat. So comfortable and luxurious. The view of the Ottawa river and the evening sky were just fantastic. We enjoyed access to a beautiful cottage trail and the peace and quiet. We love this place and are planning our return. Many thanks to the host.
