About the host

Hosted by Jen and Kellen

Host profile image
We are a family of four from Ottawa who enjoy spending time hiking, skiing, and enjoying some downtime at the cottage. We enjoy being able share this unique piece of Ontario with our guests and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with North Frontenac because it offers true tranquility and raw natural beauty without feeling too far out of reach. Nestled among dense forest and surrounded by pristine lakes and riverways, this area feels like a hidden sanctuary. We love the comfort of a 4 season home surrounded by the peace of nature.

What makes this property unique

What truly sets this retreat apart is having your very own private waterfall right on the property. You don't have to pack up or share the view with anyone else—you can step outside to swim, tube, or just sit by the falls whenever you like. Combined with total forest privacy, an expansive screened in porch for morning coffee or evening unwinding, and direct access to nature, it’s a rare private oasis designed for genuine relaxation.
