Updated Riverfront Cottage with Lake Access & StarLink, for Recreationalists!

Welcome to the North River Retreat! This is a riverfront cottage with diverse wildlife, and bodes well for outdoor adventurer families/friends/couples looking to fish, boat, kayak and more! Wake to the morning sunrise on the deck or dock, coffee in hand, listening to the sounds of the river. Experience sun exposure all day, sunrise to sunset. For rainy days and to stay connected we have STARLINK Internet & AMAZON Fire TV, board games, and a Mini original Nintendo containing hundreds of classic video arcade games.

Your rental will come with the use of a paddleboat and two kayaks. Bring-Your-Own Watercrafts is encouraged! Drop your watercraft in the lake at the public boat launch, minutes away, south on Anderson Road (Google "Anderson Road, K0L 1Z0")! From there, boat to our dock in just a few minutes. Fish populations are plentiful. Large and Smallmouth Bass, many Bluegill/Perch/Rock Bass for kids, Muskie and Pickerel when in season of course. The ecosystem on this river is lively beyond fish, from birds to river otters, herons, frogs, turtles and more.

Please note the riverfront is not for the primary beachcomber looking to lay and swim at a beach or lakefront! Lily pads and weed growth is very plentiful mid-summer & into September. We do run a water circulator during summer rental season to keep the water as clear as we can for enjoyment off the end of the dock. Catch a tan by laying on the dock or floating in the river, or refresh in the water with a swim off the end of the dock or in the deep part of the river. If you fancy walking into waters from shore, there are public boat launches on Round Lake you can visit. Alternatively, visit Booster Park Beach on Crowe Lake, or public waterfront spaces on Stony Lake (not too far away!). Towns to visit: Lakefield, Young's Point, Havelock or Campbellford!

To save you money, we charge a nominal linen and cleaning fee per stay. In return, we ask that you voluntarily bring your own: a) bathing towels, b) pillow cases, and c) bed sheets (one each of twin/double/queen) for your personal comfort. Having said that, there are lots of pillows, and the beds shall be tidy for arrival. If you forgot linens, you may find sets for use (at added charges of $10 per room per night, to cover cleaning and laundering).

Thank you for visiting our page and we hope you'll choose to visit. Please message if you have any questions, follow us on Instagram @northriverretreat and check our our Youtube channel for some drone videos of the surrounding area: @northriverretreathavelock.

Fishing Use
The cottage was excellent for our needs of fishing. It was clean and easy to navigate with all the item at hand. With the understanding the cottage itself was not a luxurious place where my wife would like to stay. But thats another story. All in everyone was very happy. IIIsewavehawthstay.woulsdwould be

Great spot
We spent a fall weekend with our 8-year-old and dogs. We all had a great time. The property is exactly as described. We spent much of our time on the river and the fire pit at the edge of the river was wonderful. Comfortable home with everything you need. It was great to have shopping amenities 8 minutes away. Overall perfect for what we wanted and we'd be happy to return.
