Family-Friendly Cottage

in Lac Ste-Marie, QC

The best of both worlds: a tranquil cottage on a lake surrounded by nature yet only a five-minute drive to the depanneur if you need more hot dogs or marshmallows. We loved kayaking on the lake and watching eagles and blue herons. The kids loved their own space in the separate bunkie. The cottage has everything you need including a clean modern kitchen. The deck was great for BBQing and relaxing.
