Welcome to the Crowe River Retreat! www.croweriverretreat.ca Looking for a stress-free family getaway where you don't need to pack your whole house? Crowe River Retreat is a four-season waterfront cottage on a private half-acre property a 2-minute walk from town. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub on a crisp evening, warming up by the gas fireplace, challenging the kids to a game of foosball, or spending summer days on the water, there is plenty to enjoy without ever needing to leave the property. Conveniently located approximately 2 hours from Toronto, 2.5 hours from Ottawa and 3 hours from Niagara, Crowe River Retreat is an easy destination for a family vacation or a relaxing weekend away. WINTER ADVENTURES Getting here: Our road is municipally maintained and plowed, making the property easy to access in snowy weather. Staying Cozy: Furnace heated cottage. Relax in the 6-person hot tub, cozy up beside the gas fireplace, enjoy the games room and board-game collection, or settle in for a family movie night. Snowmobilers: have access the main OFSC District 2 trail system approximately 2 minutes away by sled when trails are open. Ice Fishing: Crowe Lake, approximately 5 minutes away, is also a popular ice-fishing destination when weather conditions permit. Holiday Season: The cottage will be decorated from Nov 20, 2026 - January 5, 2027. We have 2 trees and festive decor throughout the interior of the cottage - please browse our photos to see some of the holiday details provided.
THE WATERFRONT & WARM-WEATHER FUN
You'll enjoy private, direct access to swimmable, and fishable Crowe River. Our unique, gradual shoreline is incredibly shallow, weed free and features a gentle slope which is perfect for easy water entry and safe splashing for the kids!
Water Toys: Guests enjoy complimentary use of a 16-foot canoe, 2 stand-up paddleboards (SUP), 2 adult kayaks, and 1 child kayak. Multiple Life jackets in each size ranging from toddler to adult sizes are provided.
Waterfront Beach & Dock: Guests have access to a private waterfront sand play area. Due to varying spring water levels, the beach is replenished by the end of June and available until the leaves fall. Our dock is installed around mid-June until the first weekend of October. The water is a natural ecosystem, the shoreline can have occasional sticks or zebra mussels. We recommend bringing water shoes for little feet!
Fishing: Cast a line right off the dock! The Crowe River is an angler's paradise, with smallmouth and largemouth bass, northern pike, walleye, yellow perch, and more.
Outdoor Living: Unwind in our 6-person hot tub nestled under a covered pergola, gather around the fire pit (firewood included), swing in the hammocks, or set up a tent for a fun backyard camping experience. Highly sought after Blackstone BBQ (propane provided) and 8-person dining table.
