KING SIZE BED Barn style loft apartment private

MaggieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
It was a great stay. So so quiet. It’s a beautiful place for a reset. We ended up staying two days because we didn’t want to get caught in road closures. The one day we pretty much did nothing and it was perfect. The bathroom is beautiful. Chase was the icing on the cake. He came for pet and cuddles and put some smiles on our face. Thank you.

The Couples Cabin at Upper Garden Nature Retreat

AaronRating, 5 stars4 months ago
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay, beautiful views all around with great trails to walk right off the cabin driveway. We even had some deer run past us on our hike. We enjoyed the cozy space in the cabin, exactly as expected with the accurate pictures Adam took. Adam gave us some recommendations of where to check out in the area, they were great suggestions. Highly recommend asking him for suggestions if you have anything specific you’d like to see. Overall it was an amazing stay, peaceful, beautiful views, cozy cabin, we would definitely go again in a few years.

Cozy beautiful house w/ Hot tub and king bed!

AnandhuRating, 5 stars1 week ago
"Our stay at this homestay was absolutely perfect. The place was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, offering plenty of room to relax and unwind. One of the highlights was definitely the private hot tub – perfect for soaking in the evenings under the stars. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, including a coffee maker, microwave, and all the cookware and utensils. There was also a smart TV, fast Wi-Fi, and even a washing machine which came in really handy. The outdoor area was lovely, with a sitting space and a small BBQ setup. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and respectful of our privacy. They also provided clear instructions and great local recommendations. Would 100% stay here again!"🥰

Luxury Waterfront Cottage in Muskoka

ChloeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This is one of the most beautiful properties I’ve stayed at! The cottage is stunning and looks even better in person than in the photos. It easily accommodated our big group. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need for meals, coffee, etc. We had rainy weather but there were so many indoor activities that we were entertained the whole time. James was very responsive and wonderful to deal with. I would definitely come back and I recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful cottage getaway!

Sweet Retreat

CourtneyRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We came in from Alberta for a wedding in the area, and stayed at Tara’s place. It was much larger than we had imagined, and the property was just gorgeous! We would absolutely book with Tara again if we were back in the area.

Your guide to French River

Welcome to French River

Located along the river of the same name, the Municipality of French River is a rural Ontario community of about 2,600 residents, with Lake Nipissing to the northeast and Georgian Bay to the west. The first designated Canadian Heritage River, French River had long been an Indigenous trade route that was also used by the voyageurs of the fur trade era between the 17th and 19th centuries. Today, it’s a 105-kilometre (65-mile) wilderness paddling route for canoeing and kayaking, as well as a destination for fishing the river’s pickerel, bass, Northern pike, and other varieties. From French River, it’s a 90-minute drive to Killarney Provincial Park, known for its unusual pink granite rocks that you can see as you hike along Georgian Bay. An hour to the north, the industrial city of Sudbury has a fantastic science museum, a multimedia mining museum, and a surprisingly vibrant cultural scene. To the south, the town of Parry Sound is a gateway to the Thirty Thousand Islands, with cruises leaving regularly from the town wharf.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in French River

The best time to visit French River is from July through early October. While there can be some rain during these summer and fall months, the temperatures are usually comfortable for outdoor activities, and the autumn foliage is particularly beautiful. As in many parts of Northern Ontario, black flies and mosquitoes can be a problem in the spring, especially in May and June. If you are planning to spend time outdoors during bug season, bring protective clothing as well as repellent. Winters in this Ontario region are cold and snowy, with temperatures regularly dipping below freezing from November into April.


Top things to do in French River

French River Provincial Park

Even if you’re not canoeing through the wilderness in this expansive parkland, it’s worth a stop at the visitor center in French River Provincial Park, just off Highway 69. You can view exhibits that illuminate the history and culture of the First Nations people who’ve lived in the region for centuries, and of the English and French traders and colonists who travelled and settled along the French River. Near the visitor center, a 156-metre (512-foot) suspension bridge over the French River is the world’s largest snowmobile bridge. You don’t have to be travelling by snowmobile to enjoy the river views.

Grundy Lake Provincial Park

To swim, canoe, or kayak on several inland lakes, visit Grundy Lake Provincial Park, 25 minutes south of French River. This family-friendly park has six sandy swimming beaches and several short hiking trails. Although boat rentals aren’t available within the park itself, several nearby outfitters rent canoes and kayaks.

Parry Sound

If you’re a hockey fan, head for the town of Parry Sound. An hour’s drive south of French River, this small community was the hometown of hockey star Bobby Orr. You can learn about his life at the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame, located near the town’s waterfront. Nearby, you can take a cruise around the hundreds of islands just offshore in Georgian Bay.
