“The accommodations were great – very spacious. Very clean and functional.The wood burning stove did a great job. Our guide was outstanding. He was very relaxed, welcoming and knowledgeable. The activities were all that we expected. The highlight was clearly the dogsledding! Highly recommended. We will be back next year.”

“We had a wonderful family weekend at the Magnetawan cottage. Excellent service, very friendly staff. We went snowshoeing, backcountry skiing and dog sledding, and we had a lot of fun. The cottage is very comfortable with all that you need. It is really a very Canadian experience!”
