What a perfect weekend at the cottage. The whole experience was fantastic. Not only is the setting absolutely beautiful, but the cottages themselves are comfortable and well-integrated into the natural environment. My family has been coming to this spot for many years and we have yet to be tired of it.
What a treat to be in Algonquin park, one of the most stunning places in Canada. The sparse cottage population in this area (compared to the southern edges of the park) and the limited network access makes for a perfect escape less than 4 hrs from Toronto, a great place to bond with family.
The floating sauna especially makes for a totally relaxing experience. If you are looking for something more active, it is easy to take a boat out, try out one of the paddle boards, go for a swim, or hike around the property. The lake is so pure and perfect for canoeing, swimming, and even just taking time to sit on the dock and reflect. The nearby Broken Paddle patio, owned by the same company, is licensed and makes great food – a pub in the wilderness!
If you are looking for a place to unwind and disconnect from your busy life while connecting with family, nature, and yourself, then look no further than the Amable Cottage in an iconic Canadian spot.

The cottage was perfect. Really nicely decorated and extremely well equipped. Lots of dishes, pots/pans, books, bbq. So comfortable, we felt right at home. Overall we were surprised by how nice the cottage was (not like many other cottage you can rent for this price)
The water and dock were also amazing. No sea weed, and easy swimming. We also rented a canoe for the trip, which was brought right over to the dock for us, life jackets, paddles and all.
The best part of the whole trip was Matt, one of the cottage guides. This guy is amazing. Knows everything, loves what he does and checks in everyday to make sure you have everything you need and take the garbage away.
I would def. recommend Voyager Quest to anyone. Great value, great people, amazing facilities. We will be back.
