Description
Welcome to our cabin overlooking the Poverty Bay Chutes on the mighty Magnetawan River. If you have dreamed of cottaging in the landscape of a Group of Seven painting, this is the cabin for you! Our picture perfect place was featured as ‘Cottage of the Week' in Toronto Life Magazine where it was described as a haven for kayakers and canoers, but it would also suit writers, artists, and wine drinkers!
Our completely renovated 1977 classic Viceroy cottage boasts a large deck with a spectacular view of the rapids and Georgian Bay rocky shoreline. Trust us, the pictures don't do it justice! The rapids will lull you to sleep in our two lovely bedrooms (queen & double beds) or take a nap or read a book on the comfy single sofa in the living area.
You can fish for perch or rock bass right off the big rocks at the rapids edge, or take a short walk to a peaceful, private swimming oasis.
The cottage is equipped with a canoe and adult life jackets. The canoe launch is situated two properties over and our canoe is fitted with wheels to get you there safely.
Only a ten-minute drive into Magnetawan, the historic northern Canadian town boasts 3 restaurants from family pubs to fine dining, a Saturday morning market, and an art gallery. The district is filled with history including ghost towns and pioneer cemeteries for the history buff. A 30 minute drive will get you into the larger towns of Parry Sound, Burks Falls or Sundridge.
Unfortunately, our property is not recommended for very young children (because of the rapids and steep shoreline) or for those with mobility issues, however there is a flat lawn for play, a small Bunkie, and the cabin itself is a bungalow with the same flooring throughout. There are four steps to the cabin, and about 20 steps, or take a pathway, down to the rapids edge, where you can sunbathe or splash around in the small pools.
