All the comforts of home amidst a cottage setting

This well-equipped home offered us a comfortable stay for a three generation family. The location was ideal - in a safe, residential neighbourhood with stores nearby- and backing onto a gentle river.

Fantastic Cottage Weekend!

We recently enjoyed a weekend getaway at Crowe River Retreat and had a wonderful time! The communication we received leading up to the weekend helped us to feel well prepared for our stay. The cottage is beautiful and comfortable, with a wide variety of amenities and thoughtful touches that make it feel like a true home away from home. Our family enjoyed morning games of chess in the sunroom, kayaking and swimming in the river, making s’mores over the fire, and playing LOTS of foosball. We can’t recommend Crowe River Retreat enough and will definitely be booking again in future. Thank you to Kristie and Mike for a fantastic experience!

Just spent a week here with the family. Such a fun time with so many different activities for our teens to do! The cottage was beautiful and cozy! Everything was at our fingertips! Thank you so much for being so thoughtful and deliberate with the things provided!! Family game nights were so much fun with the array of board games provided! I have 4 teens and the tv was never turned on in 5 days!!

Our family of four (two 12yo) had a great time enjoying the property and the water. The house was well equipped from the kitchen and laundry to games, beds and water sports equipment. The water was clean and warm, and we loved jumping in from the rope swing and tree nearby, and at the public dock, also very close! The basketball court was handy and the kids learned to play chess. Thanks for a great stay!

This place has it all!

We had such a lovely stay at Crowe River retreat. This place ticks *all* the boxes. Waterfront access with sandy beach (great for toddlers), canoe/kayak/paddeboard, loads of lifejackets, hot tub, fire pit, BBQ, high chair/booster/crib, an incredibly well-equipped kitchen (a real joy to cook in), televisions, board games, foosball, pool table - we can’t think of anything that could be missing from this cottage! Plus Kristie is a gracious host and prompt communicator. We would definitely visit again!

Cozy family getaway

The hostess has thought of everything to help make your stay enjoyable and relaxing. Ton of different activities to keep kids/teens entertained. Getting up early in the morning and sitting on the dock, listening to the loon, geese and other nature sounds was very peaceful and serene! Our first time doing a cottage and it did not disappoint. Any future places have alot to live up to!

Wonderful stay with excellent attention to detail!

My family and I spent nearly a week at this property and couldn’t be happier with it. Everything was clean and prepared for our arrival just as requested and advertised. The property had a number of amenities that you normally don’t have (excellent coffee bar and rec rooms for us and the kids!). The lot was also huge giving us loads of room to relax and hang out. Right by the water as well so it was easy access. Overall great stay and we definitely recommend it whole heartedly.

They thought of everything! Spotlight, chic, functional and stocked!!!!

Beautiful home with literally everything you could possibly imagine included. A uniquely spacious property with so many cute and thoughtful gathering spots throughout. A family's delight, from the fully stocked morning zen coffee nook, to the vibrant 8 person dining, river dips and hot-tube soaking…..you will need a week to enjoy everything Kristie has created for you to enjoy an epic summer vacation. Without a doubt this spot will be an encore for our family next year.

Amazing property and cottage!

Myself and four girlfriends spent the weekend and we were so pleased with this spot. The outdoor space is plentiful and clean and well thought out. Inside also had lots of space and had everything you need - including a dishwasher! Kitchen had lots of plates, utensils, etc. coffee bar was a lovely touch! The basement and sunroom allow for space to be stretch out even if it rains. We loved this place - would 100% book again!

Down by the River

Overall, a great property. Pefect location on the river, nice 3 season room looking down to the river. We were 2 families and the bedroom spaces were very comfortable. The main house has A/C which was much appreciated for our mid-July stay. We used the firepit one evening, it's set up well with plenty of seating and a generous supply of firewood. The dock on the river had a couple of chairs, perfect for that quiet, early morning coffee or watch the kiids paddle around in the 'for us to use' canoe or kayaks. Very pleasant and comfortable stay.
