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!

Brutal. No water. No shower. No wifi. Beds were soft and full of bugs. Facilities poorly maintained. Canoes and advertised equipment for water was junk. Dangerous and not useable. Host was unresponsive. Requesting refund

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.

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.
