Great spot, nice and quiet. Very peaceful, although the road behind is a bit noisy. Also not a lot to see around, only the waterfall. But overall great spot, lots of different equipment from kayaks to old-school popcorn maker and a projector. Highly recommend

Really enjoyed this cottage! Beautiful views from the living area and the bedroom. Huge deck with lots of seating. Quiet. Town is a 10 min drive (there is an SAQ and metro but not much else), and the chutes coulonge park was about 20-25 minutes and was worth seeing.

Location & cottage perfect spot for the two of us & our Great Dane. We could dock our fishing boat there and head out and explore the river and enjoy very a private setting while chilling at the cottage.

We had a lovely stay for 6 nights at this cottage. It's exactly like the photos and the view is stunning. It's absolutely quite, peaceful and great for relaxation. The place was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. There is a nice walking/biking path behind the cottage. There are a couple of grocery stores, drugstore, cute ice cream shop, and cafe around 10 min drive from the cottage. We had access to kayaks and life jackets but using the dock for launching the kayak was not that easy but managable. Luis was very responsive. The property guide that they shared with us was very thorough and helpful. I recommend this place and will come back.
