About this property

Luxury Riverside Cottage - Come and enjoy our Shack on the River!

This stunning luxury cottage is located on the Ausable River at the mouth of Lake Huron in the beach town Port Franks. It is in the perfect location to view the most spectacular sunsets in Canada, kayak down the river, fish on the river, view the many birds and wildlife on the river, enjoy the sandy beach plus there are trails for hiking and biking. It is the ideal spot to make amazing memories for years to come.

The year-round cottage is truly gorgeous. It is a two-storey open concept with floor to ceiling windows allowing an abundance of natural light. It comes with a fully equipped kitchen, sleeps 7 guests in beds, large master bedroom with a balcony and a luxurious ensuite bathroom, outside patio deck with a fire pit and BBQ. And for cool nights a gas fireplace in the family room. There are four kayaks and (occasionally one canoe) available for your use.

You will find Port Franks to be a charming community with hiking and biking trails, huge sand dune to conquer, a community centre with a play ground and tennis court. Lake Huron boasts glorious sandy beaches with warm shallow waters perfect for families with children. And, if you want more adventure, you can always drive the 15 minutes down the road to Grand Bend boulevard and beach.

We all need something to make life interesting, engaging and enjoyable. Welcome to our Riverside Shack. Should you decide to stay we truly hope that it will be a BLESSING to you and bring a slice of JOY and BEAUTY into your life.

Please NOTE:
Access by Owner - The Owner reserves the right to access the outside property, dock/boating area at any time, without notice.
Sleeping Arrangements - It is important to note that it is a tight fit with 9 guests in this cottage. There is a pull-out sofa in the family room for (potentially) two guests but the mattress is not very comfortable for more than a 1- or 2-night use.

Great getaway
We had a great stay at this cottage on the river. We enjoyed the large kitchen and were able to cook an entire thanksgiving dinner for the five us there. We enjoyed walks down to the beach, sitting on the dock in the sun, and hiking in the nearby trails. The cottage was clean , the beds were comfy and it was a great place to relax and watch the sunset with a glass of wine.

Wonderful place and location
The sunset and the view are amazing, the kayaks very entertaining, and the host extremely welcoming, flexible and helpful. The kids had a lot of fun fishing, swimming and kayaking. The cottage is beautiful and has almost everything you can think of in case you forget something. We only spent 4 days there but we will be coming back for sure.

Family week away
The property and amenities were great overall. The owners were amazing in all aspects and very responsive. The area is a little tough with young ones as the water was very dirty and a lot of passing boats close by which we didn’t realize. After talking to neighbours it sounds like the water was so poor because of all the rain this season. We also woke up one morning and the outside of the home was swarmed with mayflies which the owners did mention when we arrived and said it was unlikely to happen but unfortunately it did. Otherwise the home was as picture and clean with very comfy beds.
