No Longer Available - Gorgeous private cottage, fishin...
Peace in the Pines!! Boating on a lake of glass, hot summer days, warm water for swimming, amazing fishing, breathtaking sunsets, loon calls and gorgeous fall leaves to end it all perfectly. To those of you who stayed with us last season, we enjoyed welcoming you! Many are planning an amazing getaway for this coming season! We welcome you to book now at the early bird rate to come stay in beautiful Combermere / Barry's Bay / Madawaska Valley cottage country!
Perhaps you're planning a family vacation, a couple's retreat, or want a quiet, peaceful place in nature to work remotely. This is the place! From clear waterways and nature walks to touristy shops with unique finds and amazing restaurants, this area offers it all. It's also only an hour from Algonquin Park, so it's perfect for a day trip. If you need to escape to a peaceful retreat or just want to enjoy a week on the water with family, this is the place. If you want serenity, privacy, peace and to have fun, this cottage is located only 2 hours west of Ottawa and a few hours north of Toronto.
The cottage sits on a 1/2 acre lot with beautiful views of Negeek Lake and the Madawaska River. At this west facing 3 bedroom rustic cottage, you will see sunsets that take your breath away. The 850 square feet of open concept in the cottage allows plenty of room. But wait! There is an additional airy 250 square foot screened in deck overlooking the fire pit and waterfront that you will not want to ever leave! It offers a peaceful retreat from pesky bugs or an escape on a rainy day, because this large sheltered area is a great space whether you want to read a book, have a meal, play a game of cards or just enjoy the view. The huge amount of seating allows you to see the water, sunsets and nature from numerous areas.
You can also sit on the patio while barbequing and overlooking the water, or sit at the beach area and get some sun. Swim, paddle, play and then go sit by a crackling fire, roast some marshmallows or simply listen to the loons. Combermere is their haven. The back side of the cottage offers a large flat grassy area, so set up a net for volleyball or badminton, or just let the kids play. At night they can chase fireflies and listen to the owls hooting in the woods. This area is away from the water and visible from the cottage, so they can play safely. Whatever you choose to do, make yourself at home in this spacious cottage.
Want to get out on the river? A 14 foot aluminum boat is at your disposal, along with a kayak, paddle boat or paddle board to rent, if available. Maybe you'll go over to one of the 2 nearby islands and have a picnic, or perhaps you'd like to catch some fish for a meal. This location gives you access to over 90 km of waterways with great fishing and boating. Also, the 100 feet of natural shoreline has a sandy bottom with a gradual slope, so you have peace of mind when the kids are in the water. Feel free to bring your own watercraft. Our 30+ foot dock is at your disposal, and a boat launch is only 5 minutes away. In addition, boat, motor and canoe rentals are available right in town.
Check out the local attractions. Perhaps get out for a game of golf or an evening of music and / or Karaoke at one of the local pubs. There are many talented musicians and bands in this area, so check out the upcoming events, or ask us what might be happening during your stay.
When summer is over, the area takes on a whole new look and feel, and some would say it is the most beautiful of all. For those of you who know you'll be able to take some long awaited vacation time next fall, this is the place. There is no better location to see the beauty of nature and the fall colours than here.
We ask that you please bring your own towels, cloths and linens, as well as drinking water.
A fun filled holiday awaits at The Pines. We hope to see you!
