Bass Tard Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Okay, so we're not able to make our usual trip to the usual place this summer due to restrictions with time off and now we're scrambling to find something soon so we don't miss our vacation. This place seems like people would know where they stay and what's good. What we're looking for: Lakefront 3+ bedrooms 4ish hour drive from London crap-zu's allowed Any help would be appriciated, its so hard to find good information online, a lot of it is cobbled or just poorly marketed. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Cliff Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Do you have your own boat or do you want a cottage with one? Do you want something with a beach? For how long and what dates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Tard Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 crap-zu is indeed the dog but OFC is too worried about offending anyone by our dog species.. More details: I have a 17' aluminum bass boat that I will be bringing but we will be looking to rent a boat from somewhere nearby, or on the resort or whatever. Beach we don't care about, we'll be relaxing in the sun for fun, fishing, and perhaps having some beer but none of us are swimmers. And it's for July 10-18th ish. Normally we go away for Canada day long weekend but I just started a new job and I'm on contract for now and can't control when I get time off, hence looking for a new destination. Thanks for the help so far guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Give these guys a look, they are just down the road from us and I have heard some really good things about them, I do know that they fill up early and they always seem full.

solopaddler Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) What type of fish would you prefer to catch? Do you want a private cottage rental or a resort? Is water access okay or do you prefer drive to? Edited January 30, 2010 by solopaddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 crap-zu is indeed the dog but OFC is too worried about offending anyone by our dog species.. Had "shih tzu" been correctly spelled, it would have gotten posted. Sorry. Good luck in your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Tard Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 What type of fish would you prefer to catch?Do you want a private cottage rental or a resort? Is water access okay or do you prefer drive to? Bass, walleye, pike, something along those lines. Either is fine, but we're looking to be able to score a rental boat from somewhere close if it's a private rental, I only have one boat with two seats, and there's six of us. Water access is fine, but again with the one boat thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Sturgeon Lake has all except the pike, lots of muskie though. If you do decide to come up this way, let me know and I'd be happy to give you a quick tour and show you a few spots to get you started. One good thing about Lunge haven (although there are many) you don't have far to go to get into some really good fishing and even if it is a very windy day, you can fish the river which is somewhat sheltered from the wind.

solopaddler Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 There's literally endless possibilities. Here's a good one that I'd check into if I was looking. It's a water access private cottage on the Pickeral river downstream from hwy.69. It gives you access to miles and miles of beautiful water to explore including the lower French and the Bad River delta if you're adventurous. I'm familiar with the area which is why I looked for one here. Great fishing for all species. Boat rentals are available as well. http://www.montaguelodge.com/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky or Specks Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Give my buddy a try He rents a nice lakefront cottage on Lake Restoule. He also has boats on back lakes in the area. http://www.northbayonline.ca/businesses.php?accnum=3276 Unfortunately he only has the one cottage so you have to book early.

grt1 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I got a buddy that runs Fees Landing on the Kawartha Lakes, he has been on the fishing show that Charlie Wray has. It is pretty close to London, Give Fees Landing a google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radnine Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Any help would be appriciated, its so hard to find good information online, a lot of it is cobbled or just poorly marketed. I am not sure where you are looking, but I find it super easy to find great places to stay on line. You should have seen the misrepresentation of shacks when all you had to go on was a three line ad in the classified section. Here are a couple of sites that I have had success with. http://www.cottagelink.com http://www.cottagesincanada.com http://www.cottage-canada-usa.com Looking for great cottages to rent has become a bit of a hobby of mine and the search is half the fun. Don't forget that if you find the information lacking on the site you can always email the owner and ask for more photos. Good luck! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torco Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 This website is excellent for private cottage listings which for my situation is the only way to go. http://www.ontariocottagerental.com/ We are in the process of booking a cottage for 10 people plus multiple dogs and people tend to give us a harder time with German Shepherds.

They can put you on almost any lake thou. They are into thier 9th rental season with over 120 beautiful cottages. In orderfor them to rent any cottage out, they must all have direct access to good waterfront.Just give her a call, she wil do the rest Edited February 2, 2010 by tb4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
