Welcome to The Snug! Check out @thesnugcottage on Instagram for more photos and updates. The Snug is a cozy cottage nestled at the edge of stunning Papineau Lake. Gorgeous wood construction provides our guests with the quintessential cottage experience. Wake up to enjoy spectacular sunrises over the lake from the deck, the dock or the enclosed sunroom. Wind down your day roasting marshmallows around the campfire. The cottage is suitable for two families. There are three bedrooms: two with queen beds and a third bedroom with four twin beds. There is a powder room upstairs and a bathroom with shower on the main floor. Parking for two cars is directly outside the door of the cottage. The cottage has a new kitchen and laundry centre, and freshly decorated rooms with new furniture, linens and mattresses. A gas fireplace provides that cozy cottage feeling at the touch of a button. Included in your stay are all bed linens, towels, and some basic supplies to get guests started (spices, sugar, olive oil, a few rolls of toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, etc.). A BBQ, board games, internet, a smart speaker and a smart TV are also included. Forget something? The store in the village of Maple Leaf provides essential groceries and a small LCBO. Your stay also includes access to two kayaks and a canoe. The sand-bottom crystal-clear lake has excellent swimming with shallow water near shore that is perfect for young children; and has deeper water just beyond the dock. Papineau Lake has depths of 200 feet and is a favourite spot for fishing lake trout, bass and pike.
Enjoy nearby hiking trails, horseback riding, and for the more daring, there is white-water rafting nearby and cliff jumping across the lake.

| We very much enjoyed our stay at The Snug. The cottage is well-equipped and has a beautiful waterfront with a long dock and clean water for swimming. During our stay the weather was mixed but there's plenty of comfortable seating inside and a collection of games, so we had lots of things to do even when it was raining. The cottage was clean and the up-to-date kitchen was well set-up. We are looking forward to our next stay at The Snug!

| Beautiful cottage, clean as a whistle, nicely furnished & fantastic lake views, this place is pure heaven! The owner Grace was A1 to deal with and provided a great manual full of information on the cottage and the sites to see in the area, which was much appreciated. The cottage interior is of beautiful wood, superbly equipped (modern washer & dryer, free wifi, netflix), everything you would ever need in a nicely updated kitchen, and even the linens/towels/pillows/bedsheets were all supplied! The bedrooms are very large and the beds very comfortable. There are so many areas to sit and relax, a main living room, or the large sunroom, or the huge outside deck - no matter where you are, with all of the large windows, you have a direct view of the lake. The lake has a sand bottom and is shallow for about 30 yards out & is crystal clear. The dock is very large as well. There is a fire pit for bonfires overlooking the water, and a canoe, kayaks and a number of floating tubes supplied, to enjoy. The lake was nice and quiet and our family had a wonderful week. We look forward to coming back in 2023!

| Great cottage to spend a week at with your kids! Loved the view of the lake and wonderful fire pit. Cabin was rustic but has everything you need for a great stay. Lovely sunrises and sunsets to watch from the dock. We enjoyed trips to Bancroft for ice cream and lunch and enjoyed a great lunch at the Bancroft Brewpub.
The living room had comfortable couches where the kids lounged while we watched movies on a rainy day. The kayaks were put to good use as well!
Would definitely recommend!

| We were sad to leave this beautiful oasis. The cottage was so clean and well equipped. There wasn't anything more we could ask for. Beautiful sunrises, a full moon, loons calling day and night, all sorts of wild life and friendly chipmunks. Grace was a pleasure to interact with. The cottage binder provided all the information we needed about the cottage and surrounding area! Looking forward to returning ? fingers crossed.

| My family and my brother's family shared this rental (4 adults, 4 kids) and we had a fantastic time. The lake was still cool (pretty early in the season), but boat traffic was almost non-existent. Our kids all got to bunk together which they had a lot of fun with (big room with 4 beds and a fun little screened in deck off of it). The lake was beautiful (gorgeous countryside, beautiful sunrises), the cottage has a great blend of old cottage charm with some modern conveniences (well appointed kitchen, laundry facilities, potable water, no shortage of hot water), and the wildlife was on full display (loons, eagles, peregrine falcons, and lots of chipmunks in the old oak trees). I would stay here again in a heartbeat (too bad I am in a different province).
