Our lakeside cottages are very quiet and secluded, surrounded by hundreds of acres of forest. The cottages are independent of one another, each with their own easy water access, dock, and sandy beach. Each of our cottages has an expansive front deck overlooking the lake. These are fully furnished and perfect for mealtime entertaining using the included BBQs. Two of the cottages are four-season, with beautiful screen porches that allow for outdoor enjoyment earlier and later each season. All three cottages have a western exposure so you can enjoy the gorgeous sunsets! There is an outdoor fire pit at two of the cottages, with plenty of seating for your nighttime entertaining — perfect for hotdog roasting, smores, and story-telling. On clear nights, untainted by light pollution, the sky is illuminated by a vast array of brilliant stars. As you look up from your cozy campfire, you will be awestruck by nature’s wonders! Our lake, Lake MacDonald, is free of commercial developments so the water quality is exceptional. The lake is perfect for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, and fishing. There are approximately 50 kilometers (30 miles) of well-maintained trails in the woodlands surrounding our cottages which can be used year-round either for hiking or cross country skiing. Lost River, the main river which flows into Lake MacDonald, has many rapids and is full of fish and wildlife. Lost River is very enticing for nature lovers because it is perfect for day trips to go canoeing, kayaking, and even snorkeling. Directly across from the cottages are wetlands that are home to a wide variety of bird species. This wetland has extensive beaver dams, making it great for canoeing and exploring. We are also within easy driving distance of several larger towns, such as Lachute (35.8 km), Saint-Sauveur (42.4 km), Saint-Jovite/Mont-Tremblant (43.4 km), and Mont-Tremblant Village (55 km). The Mont-Tremblant/Saint-Jovite airport is only a 45-minute drive, and Montreal's Pierre Elliott Trudeau airport is 1.5 hours.
