Whether you sit on the sofa with a view thru floor to ceiling windows, or the shaded deck, or a Muskoka chair on the grass, or a Muskoka chair around the fire table near the water or right on the beach, the placid St Lawrence with its idyllic sailboats, plentiful birds and abundant night time fireflies will lull you into complete relaxation. And the cottage- completely tastefully renovated- makes your stay at Howe Island perfection. I didn’t want to leave❤️ And the owners are completely accessible, informative and helpful!

A beautiful property with all new amenities and lots for the family to do. Beautiful views of the St. Lawrence River and a feeding area for lots of water fowl of all kinds, including the occasional sighting of otter and turtles. Very quiet and relaxing, easy to get to with the frequent ferries.

The Vista was unbelievable through the large picture windows. And the fire table on the lower deck overlooking the water was fabulous. The cottage was lovely - tastefully furnished and felt like new. The kitchen was amazing - great appliances, oodles of dishes and utensils. We slept like babies. We'll be back!

A lovely modernized cottage wth beach access. We loved our stay in June to start the summer.

Property is beautiful, view is amazing!! Owner was so great to deal with and so helpful!! She even got a gas fireplace for us! The renovations are so nice and the cottage is clean ! Will definitely book again!!

This sweet place is totally renovated with a clean modern decor that is also warm and welcoming. Thoughtful touches such as pristine cotton blankets for use on furniture or as a light cover up add to the relaxing vibe. We cook and this kitchen is well supplied with good quality kitchen ware...a rare find. Top quality bed and pillows. Amazing views just as is described. Wonderful swimming and very handsome lower deck over the water for thise long reads and daydreaming. Sarah has created something really special with this place.

Spotless, well appointed getaway spot with an AMAZING view of the river from nearly everywhere on the property. We enjoyed the beach area the most. Coffee on the deck in the morning was a great way to wake up. Reasonable sampling of books, DVDs, games, puzzles and Xbox 360 to keep us occupied. I would definitely come back and have recommended the property to friends and family.

Very nice property at the end of a row of properties. But privacy was not an issue. The neighbour next door was only there occasionally and was very friendly. Beautiful view of the water! Breakfasts on the patio was beautiful! The first tank of propane went out during the middle of our first BBQ but they had a standby ready in the basement. We brought our coffee machine but they had one there and the coffee was good. The Deck by the water with the colourful Muskoka chairs was very nice. The other chairs under the pine trees was our favourite place to sit and read. Unfortunately we were only able to use the canoe one time. We would like to come back in the future.

This is a wonderful property with amazing views. Cottage is extremely clean and well cared for. Swimming in the river just steps from the deck is fantastic. We had an amazing, relaxing week-long getaway. Owner was very easy to deal with and quick to respond. I would highly recommend this vacation rental to other renters.

Very nice location with a wonderful view. The house was clean and comfortable. Everything for a magical family vacation. Thank you to our hosts!
