Hunter Street Guest House

Cozy home in the village of South River, known for it's proximity to the popular Round Lake canoe access point to Algonquin Park, ample lakes and rivers with opportunities for paddling, fishing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, hiking, and more. A great home base to enjoy these activities. Walking distance to local brewery, LCBO, Beer Store, grocery store, restaurants and more. Owners are a stone's throw away should you need assistance with the home or to answer questions about local attractions. Perfect for nature enthusiasts, paddlers and snowmobilers. We are located directly on the OFSC snowmobiling trail, a great home base while you explore the region on your sled! Ten minute drive to numerous lakes and rivers popular for swimming and boating. Guests have access to entire main floor and outdoor space in the yard. We are happy to help where we can and live very close by but we definitely give you your privacy to enjoy the house and community. Residential area in the village. Close to stores and restaurants. Guests come to enjoy a quiet weekend or a longer stay and either stick close to the house or venture out to take part in different activities like snowmobiling, Algonquin Park trails, swimming, fishing, boating and more. Driving is the easiest way to get to activities but you can certainly enjoy a walk around town. Please familiarize yourself with Airbnb policies regarding their service fee, which is 5-15 percent of your total booking, if you cancel more than 48 hours after booking they will not refund this fee at all. We supply hand soap, dish and dishwasher detergent but we ask that you bring your own toiletry supplies such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash etc. Also perhaps bring slippers in the winter as our kitchen is slightly cooler than the rest of the house as it is near the mudroom. The rest of the house is always cosy and warm! We currently do not offer wifi, cable or satellite. We offer a selection of DVDs and blu-ray discs and we also have an account at the local store for movie rentals to watch using our TV and Blu-ray player. We now offer the use of a Nintendo Wii console during your stay, some games are available to use but feel free to bring your own! We also offer a selection of board games for your enjoyment. We are not located on waterfront but have many lakes and rivers nearby to enjoy. While we are close to the back country paddling access point into Algonquin Park, we are over an hour's drive away from the West Gate on Highway 60 in Muskoka. While it certainly is a drivable distance from our home to spend the day exploring the walking trails, museums and visitor's centre, we don't pretend to be a stone's throw away. We have had guests spend the day in Algonquin near Hwy 60 and then retire back to South River and the Almaguin Highlands region to enjoy other attractions here.
