Goulais River · Northern Ontario
Cottages A and B sit side by side above the river, each with its own entrance, fireplace and hot tub. Adults only, deeply quiet, and 25 minutes from Sault Ste. Marie. Book one side — or both.
Book direct with the owner — no platform service fee.
Welcome
Two individual duplex cottages that can be rented on their own or together as one large space for a gathering. Both have hot tubs, fireplaces, air conditioning and a large deck.
One cottage is two storey with a bedroom and a den that also sleeps guests. The other has a bedroom with a king size bed. Both have their own dining room space, bathroom, self-contained kitchen and living room, and every room sits under vaulted ceilings.
The Cottages
Each side is completely self-contained with its own entrance, so you can take one cottage for a quiet escape or both for a group.
Two storey with loft den
Sleeps up to 4 adults · One bedroom plus sleeping in the den
King bedroom, single level
Sleeps 2 adults · One bedroom with king size bed
Because the cottages are a duplex with separate entrances, two couples or a small family group can share the property and still have their own fireplace, hot tub and kitchen. Ideal for special occasions and spa weekends.

The Area
We are near Lake Superior and a long list of places to see and experience — kayaking, beaching, fishing, skiing, cross-country and snowshoeing, ice climbing and hiking, depending on when you come.
The river wakes up. Fishing, birdsong, long quiet mornings on the deck and the first warm evenings in the hot tub.
Kayaking and beaching along the Lake Superior shoreline, swimming, hiking and sunsets that run late into the evening.
Maple and birch colour across the hills, empty trails, crisp air and the fireplace lit when you come back in.
Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, downhill skiing and ice climbing — then a hot tub under a very dark, very starry sky.

Guests
“Waking up to the river and mist off the water, then a hot tub at night with no sound but the current. We did nothing for three days and it was perfect.”
“Spotlessly clean, beautifully finished and every detail thought through. Judith answered every question before we even asked it.”
“We rented both sides for a family weekend. Separate entrances meant everyone had their own space, and we still ate together every night.”
Meet your host
My background is real estate, interior decorating and design, restaurant ownership, and now food manufacturing as well. I have travelled extensively, and this project was something my husband and I wanted to do together. He was an architect.
Unfortunately he passed before finishing this venture, and I have recently completed it. The undertaking was mostly about refurbishing everything and adding on, where we had always built new or renovated before. I am pleased with the end result and am sure you will be also.
A personal welcome, from our riverbank to yours.
