This was an awesome cottage to stay at. Can't speak enough good things about the place.
- The location is absolutely perfect. The backyard borders on the shores of beautiful Mattawa river. The views from the backyard is just gorgeous.
- The place is quite spacious. We were 3 families that included 6 adults, 4 toddlers and an infant. There was enough space for all of us to hang around.
- The kitchen is well-equipped. There was no problem for us to cook meals and enjoy our stay during the 7 nights of our stay.
- The surrounding places of Mattawa have a lot of things to do. We stayed for entire week. We did the following:
- The Claire Gorge - Sunday
- The Marathan Beach, North Bay- Monday
- Samuel De Champlain Trail, Mattawa- Tuesday
- Boat Cruise on Mattawa River- Wedensday. Check out Northern Boat Tours on google. Absolute must.
- Sunset Cruise on Lake Nippissing- Thursday.
- Fossilarium in Notre Dame Du Nord Quebec. - Friday
- Devils Rock Trai- Temiskaming- Friday.
The North Bay area is simply awesome and different than Muskoka. It is more serene, quiet and untouched. A must go if you are okay with the drive.
Above all- Rathan has been a wonderful host. He is an amicable gentleman to deal with.
I highly recommend this place.
