A small community of 300 odd friendly folks, it's rustic and serene. In summers, watch beavers, ducks and loons, swim in Silent River, or sit on the swing and enjoy the breeze. Visit the local Ice Cream parlor or rent a canoe and make your way to Georgian Bay. In winters, go ice fishing in the beautiful Magnetawan teeming with Bass, Pike, Perch, Walleye, Catfish, Smelt, Speckle Trout, etc. Spacious and cozy, a bright yellow door welcomes you to the cottage and the sound of flowing water lulls you to sleep. Modern amenities make your stay comfortable while the feeling of escape persists, especially once the sky darkens. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, there's ample room to enjoy board games on the gaming table, sip your morning coffee in the sunroom, or stargaze on clear nights. We have two queen beds and a bunk bed, making it ideal for four adults and two children. There’s also a dock to swim or tie your boat. Fire extinguishers are available in the Sunroom and the Kitchen (under the sink), and a basic First Aid kit is located inside the Cedar bathroom vanity. Please note, this village is in unorganized territory, so not every city-based amenity is available. There’s one shop for groceries, basics, and booze, and water comes from a drilled well. There is no trash collection, so we ask guests to carry away their garbage and recyclables, but if this is difficult, we’ve other options. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Dock - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Front entrance ramp - Gravel flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Single level property - Tile flooring in public areas - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the marina - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Unit size: 1,700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76770000/76760400/76760340/5427a311.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fabulous New Georgian Bay Cottage on the water!

The house was clean and well equipped, with lots of useful information in the manual/welcome book. It was nice to be on the river and see and hear the birds. It was also great to be a short drive from different parks and trails. We appreciated Sue’s quick response when we asked her a question the first morning. It was a very nice stay. ##### Jessie P.

What a perfect location to use as a base to launch from nearby beach to explore Georgian Bay or travel up the highway to explore the French River. Sue, the host, was super friendly and quick to respond from time of booking 4 months ago to making sure we were taken care of when we arrived. The cottage is quaint, the beds are super comfortable, the 2 bathrooms have showers which made it easy for everyone to get ready quickly for the day of kayaking and exploring the area. ##### Tracy H.

The cottage was clean and on the Still River bank. We have seen lots of birds and an otter every day. It was the hottest days of the year, the windows needed open in the night. The water is non-potable water. We brought our own bottled water. The location is easy to find. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bryan C.

Pros: Good scenery, peaceful with nice views, big and clean property, location is within short driving distance to parks/beaches, owner was quick to respond to question/concerns, owner offered partial refund due to BBQ issue Cons: Property amenities on website not accurate No hot tub as mentioned in ad BBQ was not in working condition Bedroom layout is not ideal as one is directly in living room/kitchen area (not quiet) Other bedroom is on opposite end (quiet) River/canal water did not appear clean for swimming from property dock Local resident did not recommend swimming from property dock No garbage disposal in walking distance ##### Bryan C.

There was excellent parking for 1 boat and trailer with a nearby receptacle so we could charge our boat at night. The cottage was clean. The linens provided were also clean. The cottage is 2min from a local corner store which has liquor, beer and a small grocery store in case you need anything. The closest boat launch is also 2 min away. The cottage does not have outdoor furniture so bring yourvown folding chairs if you wish to sit out on the deck or dock. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Jon Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabrie Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Sabrie Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Briars Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Georgina-Hotels-The-Briars-Resort-Spa.h9794102.Hotel-Information) > > [Rawley Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Severn-Hotels-Rawley-Resort.h10486809.Hotel-Information) > > [Ste.
