fishing in FRENCH RIVER

The accomodations were exceptional clean the washroom, although very clean was a outside toilet was a different situation but kept very clean. I feel that this cottage is set up better for couples who just wanted a break. The outside could do with a clean up regarding the growth of weeds etc. The couple where very freindly and accomadating. Fishing SUCKED

The oasis of Rose Cabin

Hard to summarize it in a few words as this was our initial Canada experience. Rose Cabin and hosts - Liz and Peter - provide by far more than one could expect! DEDICATION! Thank you for this experience.

French River in the fall

This was our second stay at Rose Cabin. We love it here. The cabin is immaculate and has everything you need for the perfect getaway. The leaves in the fall are stunning in late September/October. The weather was great to go for a boat ride, fishing, walk in the woods, sit on the deck or the dock. A peaceful holiday. We highly recommend staying here!

Perfect getaway

We stayed 3 nights at the cozy Rose Cabin. The cabin is newly renovated and the owners have thought of every detail to make it a comfortable stay. The owners were gracious hosts and easy to reach when we had questions. The views are stunning too! We highly recommend!

Beautiful!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The screened porch was our favourite place to enjoy morning coffee, evening drink or anytime in between. The cabin is cute, clean and the kitchen is well equipped. We hope to visit again sometime (maybe to see the fall colours).

Beautiful views! Enjoy French River serenity & nature.

Rose Cabin makes access to the many wild islands & bays of French River Provincial Park within easy reach. The location is easy to access and a public boat ramp is minutes away. This is a quaint and beautiful property that is clean and well appointed. Owners were very friendly & accommodating. The cabin has a lovely light pine interior with tasteful modern furnishings, and a very comfortable bed. Original art and unique touches are very inviting. The kitchen is very well stocked with cookware, utensils, dishes and glasses. The wood stove lends warmth & ambience on a chilly evening. We enjoyed spending time on the screen porch - providing a place to relax & read or just enjoy the views. The dock is large enough for a 14 ft. boat - or for spending the afternoon in the sunshine. Large deck with a great BBQ! We'd like to return sometime again, and highly recommend this rental.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Best

Host profile image
The owners have an all season cottage "up the hill" on the same property. No radios or loud music etc. allowed outside the Rose Cabin. Owners are sometimes on site to happily render advice and assistance.

Why they chose this property

The Rose Cabin is a small but charming and cozy restored 1940's-style cabin, with a screened-in porch on two sides, including the river side. It is fully insulated so is cool in the summer, and , with the wood stove, able to be heated to comfortable temperatures in the winter. No supplied water in the winter.

What makes this property unique

The wilderness behind the Rose Cabin, starting across the road, is beautiful to walk in. There is a sugar bush to walk into, being a 45 minute walk one way. There are kilometers of hiking and/or skiing available on the snow machine trails in the forest behind the cabin. Boating on the French River is spectacular. Most basic amenities are available in Noelville, a 20 minute drive away. Sudbury is 65 minutes to the north. Surprisingly, there are relatively few boats on the French River. There is 18 kilometers of water. It is always easy to find a remote, secluded spot on the River to anchor or tie up at and picnic.
