Beautiful Log Cottage on Historic Mattawa River - Lake Chantplein

A wonderful beach front, southern exposure log cottage nestled among majestic white pine. Watch the mist rise, listen to the loons, and have your coffee on the dock. Canoe or kayak along the historic Mattawa River - Lake Chantplein. Read a book or swim. Roast marshmallows and watch the stars sparkle almost within your reach. Hike to town for a great meal at the Voyageur Inn or BBQ in the outdoor summer kitchen. It’s up to you. WiFi, Netflix and lots of board games.

Great romantic setting for couples or plenty of room for the whole family or a group of friends. It sleeps up to 6 adults in 3 bedrooms including a sleep cabin. The main cottage has a great room with a wall of windows overlooking Lake Chantplein , a part of the Mattawa River Heritage Waterway. Washroom with shower, full kitchen, drilled well, sun porch, propane fireplace for heat and ambiance, carport, good cell service and WiFi.

Come and feel the magic where the Mattawa and Ottawa Rivers meet. Located east of North Bay, Ontario, Mattawa Voyageur Country provides endless opportunity for exciting year-round adventures, authentic rural charm, unique places to eat and friendly bilingual hospitality.

The Town of Mattawa is 5 kilometres (3 miles) away with grocery stores, pharmacy, hospital and more. Visit the Mattawa and District Museum, 20 Historic Statues, the Clermont Duval Art Gallery and many other small-town treasures. Try golfing at the Mattawa Golf ‘n Ski Resort or take a guided nature hike at Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park. Or, simply enjoy the cottage - it’s your holiday!

Second great atv getaway

This was our second time staying at the cabin for a long weekend atv trip. We booked this cabin again since we were so impressed when we stayed last year. Very clean, cozy atmosphere and right down the road from the trail system. Highly recommended.

Great log cabin cottage, on nice private location. Everyone enjoyed the kayaking, canoeing, swimming and floating on the river. Well stocked cottage. Mattawa is a very friendly little town; go to the poutine shack! GB Beeton, Ont.

Every detail was covered for this excellent getaway

We enjoyed an excellent week at this stellar log cabin cottage. The owners covered every detail and they were extremely responsive when we had questions. Despite some rainy days, there was still lots to do including the games that are supplied and Netflix for the teenagers. The only downside to this trip was having to leave.

Relaxation at Its Best!

Undoubtedly one of the most relaxing cottage experiences I've ever had! Lots of kayaking, canoeing, fishing and swimming for all and a beautiful view for reading / relaxing by the water. Also one of the quietest lakes I've ever stayed on. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and we were impressed by the well equipped kitchen. Thanks so much Tina and Wayne for your quick responses to questions and making our vacation a great one!

Time Stands Still Here

This is a special place, where time stands still. My husband and son both caught pike off the end the dock, and we enjoyed kayaking around the lake. Unfortunately we could only stay a few days because a family crisis brought us home early.

This cabin is better than the pictures on homeaway.com

We enjoyed our stay at this Mattawa cabin, there were no complaints. The cabin was beautiful and situated on the Mattawa river/lake. The amenities were fine. It was nice to just step off the grid for awhile. Canoeing and kayaking was wonderful, the children fished, and the outdoor grilling area made me very envious. I would recommend this home/cabin to anyone.

Second stay, still excellent

We love this property. The cottage is beautiful, equipped with all you might need. It is surrounded by pine trees, lovely view of the water, and very quiet! We are senior seniors lol, so we didn’t use the canoe or kayaks, but my husband loved fishing off the dock. We made good use of the outdoor kitchen. Lots of books and games inside, plus Netflix for rainy days.

Peaceful lakeside getaway

The cozy cottage on the lake was just what the doctor ordered! Peaceful paddles on the river. Splashing on the small beach. Lazyiness in our hammock or sitting back in an Muskoka chair stoking the campfire. It was a perfect getaway despite the squirrels dropping pine cones on the cottage roof most mornings :).
