My wife and I from Ottawa usually spend 3 or 4 nights in late June at a cottage/camp with my daughter who lives in Montreal. It has always been difficult to find a nice place that has beach access, privacy and other activities. In the past few years, it has been more difficult as my daughter now has a cat. We were thrilled to find this cottage at Calabogie It did not disappoint us. We enjoyed the privacy as well as swimming, kayaking and firepit. It was good that it also had air conditioning as the temperatures hit 32C, feels like 42C everyday we were there. The cottage itself was clean, comfortable and cooking in the well-equipped kitchen was good. I would strongly recommend this cottage. But I must put a caveat on this for seniors (such as us) or persons with mobility issues. The bathroom does not have any grab bars, the front stairs do not have any railings, the railings on the stairs to the back deck need repair and the air conditioner is in the loft, which is accessed by a ladder. Our daughter was able to climb up to operate the controls. We know the owners are working to improve the cottage by adding a sauna and doing other upgrades. Despite our concerns, we did enjoy our stay and are sure others will too.
