The property and cottage was welcoming, clean and well maintained. We arrived to find the drive entrance and walkways plowed and cleared of snow. We had a great stay with friends.

Fantastic Place to Stay

Some friends and I went up here for a cottage weekend. The cabin was very clean for our arrival. Host was great at responding and helping with questions. Cottage is furnished with good quality furniture, bedding, and appliances. Plenty of space for 12 people to comfortably stay. Cabin has activities available (pool, air hockey, darts, poker) but there is also lots of space in the backyard to bring your own games and play. Would definitely recommend this to others, as well as to friends and family for any stays they may plan in the area.

A truly unique heritage experience at Timber Pines. Detailed finishing, new construction --2023. Felt like a luxury resort. Well equiped kitchen with large commercial scale appliances. Great BBQ. We did not use the fireplace or sauna on the large deck.....hot week. Comfortable for our group of 8 seniors, but perhaps a better set up for a family with children because two of the "bedrooms" are actually not fully enclosed for privacy. Prompt text communication with our host, Tom, when we had questions abouit things like operating the air conditioner (controller was on a timber post that was some distance from the unit, so we did not notice that initially until Tom directed us via text). We never did find the switch for the overhead fan for the stove based on the instruction document at the cottage....not a big concern, just our nervousness, not being familiar with propane gas stoves. The internet, which is via Starlink satelite, functioned wel, but bogged down on our last day. Tom advised via text that this happens from time to time in the countryside of this French River location. We could not access TSN which was showing FIFA games.....accessible only if one of us might have subscription to apps like Prime, etc........we did not, unfortunately, so we follwed via updates on FIFA website. Fair to say that we would book this property again when visiting French River where our family from Sudbury have spent happy summers the past 35 years.
