This charming cottage is located on a well-maintained municipal road, ensuring easy access year-round, even during winter when snow is regularly plowed by the town βοΈ.
Please note: Phone reception is limited in the area, however high-speed Starlink internet is provided π. We strongly recommend enabling Wi-Fi calling before arrival and saving the Wi-Fi password for easy access.
We value the peaceful and quiet nature of our neighborhood, and sound travels easily in this area. Respecting our neighbours is extremely important. ABSOLUTELY NO PARTIES, EVENTS, OR LOUD OUTDOOR NOISE. Quiet hours are from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM. This property is best suited for guests seeking a relaxing and peaceful getaway πΏ.
β¨ Private River Access β Black River β¨
At the back of the property, a natural path leads down to the Black River. The trail is somewhat steep, so we recommend wearing appropriate footwear when carrying kayaks or exploring the riverbank π£ββοΈ.
Once you reach the river, you'll discover a peaceful and secluded stretch of water surrounded by forest, perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing by the river π²π§.
The river is shallow directly behind the cottage, making it ideal for launching kayaks or paddle boards. As you paddle downstream, the river gradually becomes deeper, where swimming may be possible depending on water levels. As this is a natural river, guests should be mindful of rocks, branches, currents, and changing conditions.
We provide two kayaks, and guests are welcome to bring their own paddle boards and water equipment.

The property exceeded our expectations. The property is breathtaking and well layed out with multiple areas for fun to be had. The inside games room and Tiki bar area is another great space with something for everyone. The whole house has a cozy feel. Again well layed out and plenty of spaces for people to gather. The bedrooms were comfortable and everything was clean. The whole property was peaceful and welcoming, it felt like home.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cottage. The cottage looked just like the pictures and was so beautiful.
Would definitely return!

Bahram was excellent and respected the space. Easy to communicate with. Left the place looking great. Recommend to any host.
This was a terrific place to spend a winter weekend with a group of friends. The house was great- very clean and well supplied, including basements games and a delightful hot tub. It was a great location for enjoying nearby snowshoeing, cross country skiing and skating.

What a great guest to host! So easy to communicate with, and left the place clean and tidy. Would recommend to any other host and would welcome back at the property any time.
Amazing vacation in beautiful surroundings. The game room, hot tub, the indoors and outdoors were incredible. Was easy to book even at the last minute and everything was as described. Highly recommended. Adults and kids had a great time!
We had an incredible experience in this spacious, lovely, and tranquil retreat. "Serenity" perfectly captures the essence of what we felt. It was a true escape for all of us.
The property was exactly as described. Fully equipped and very clean. It was the perfect destination for our family group. Communication with the host was very easy and she responded in a timely manner. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I highly recommend it.
To be honest, we were planning on playing a bunch of games that were provided in the basement but we spent most of our time outside in the jacuzzi, the firepit and the nice spacious backyard. The creek in the back was amazing and beautiful, even has a nice waterfall upstream. Overall a great trip to get away from the city.
I recently stayed at this lovely cottage and would rate it 4.5 out of 5 stars. The cleanliness was impressive, and the host's warm welcome made me feel right at home. The cottage itself had a charming ambiance and provided a comfortable stay. However, I did encounter a minor inconvenience with a high number of mosquitoes outdoors, which caused some trouble and disrupted the enjoyment of the surrounding nature. Overall, the positive aspects of the cottage, including its cleanliness and the host's hospitality, outweighed this issue. With a little improvement in managing the mosquito population, it would be an even more enjoyable getaway.
Check in was seamless. Easy access and a great start to our stay. The kitchen could use a few extraβs such as some emergency items like ziploc bags, plastic wrap, foil, food storage containers. Wifi was spotty. Working at times and not at others. Our greatest concern was it states riverfront, however, it doesnβt mention the drop to the river is quite steep and 1/2 of us didnβt feel comfortable making the drop. So every day we had to venture out to hit a spot to swim and fish and launch a canoe and kayak. Also with the lack of rain the river was about 2 feet high in the middle. This is no oneβs fault but greater clarity should be mentioned in the booking. I soecifixally asked if we could fish in the river.
