We thought we were renting a cottage, but where we stayed was more like a high-end home. Thanks for a great vacation. Karen C., Toronto ON
The location of Hideout on Howe was perfect. We went to several nearby attractions and still had plenty of time to relax at our cottage. Katie B., Cleveland OH U.S.A.
Thank you for a great stay. We loved your boat shuttle service to Gananoque. Plus, the sunsets over the water were incredible. Chris F., Ottawa ON
The different cottages were perfect for our group of big and small families. We had a great vacation while still having our own space. Montreal QC
