Enjoy a relaxing holiday with your family and friends in this riverside home. Located on the outskirts of the northern Ontario village of South River, this vacation home is close to all amenities yet provides a peaceful retreat.
Located next to Tom Thompson Park, you will have easy access to the boat launch and its disk golf course. If exploring the northern reaches of Algonquin park is on your to-do list, this property provides a great home base for the short drive to the park.
Let your senses bask in the quiet of nature, sit quietly to hear the water lapping on the shore and watch the changing view as the sun moves across the sky.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Getaway! Very clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed during our stay. The outdoor space is amazing and so relaxing. We will definitely be back!
We spent 23 nights here. Andrea, who was nearby, was very helpful in quickly answering a few questions we had about the internet, the thermostat and the TV service. She supplied us with some kitchen staples when we ran out of them. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend her rental.
My cousin had a wedding 10 minutes from the accommodations, so we opted for this excellent property instead of a hotel. The kids and adults had such a great time, and though I heard the hotel was nice, it doesn't beat the opportunity to wake up for a swim/paddle on the lake.
10/10 would recommend. Hosts were extremely responsive. I actually love that they live on the property as well. It makes for a true vacation rental experience.
Alles klopte aan deze accomodatie.
Contact met de verhuurder was goed en snel.
Super vriendelijke mensen!
Bij aankomst bleek het allemaal netjes schoon en vooral lekker ruim te zijn. We mochten van alles gebruikmaken. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien. We konden de kano's en de waterfiets gewoon pakken.
Het uitzicht op Forrest Lake is geweldig.
In de avonden konden we een vuurtje maken op de vuurplaats. Heel gezellig!
Neem wel muggenspray mee. Maar dat is sowieso een goed idee in deze omgeving!
Een aanrader voor een geweldige ervaring!

My husband and moved to South River a few years ago for his work. We bought a Duplex so there would be room for family to come and visit. We offer the home for guests to stay when no visits are planned.
