**Now featuring a private outdoor Jacuzzi**, Le Petit Manitou invites you to unwind in warm, bubbling water while surrounded by nature. Whether you're enjoying a peaceful morning soak, relaxing beneath the stars, or watching the snow fall around you in winter, the hot tub makes every season a special experience.

Wake up to coffee by the water as the morning light dances across the river. During the warmer months, enjoy paddle boarding, fishing, relaxing on the dock, or simply taking in the beautiful surroundings. As evening approaches, soak in the Jacuzzi before gathering around the waterfront fire pit for unforgettable moments with family and friends.

An outdoor skating rink is also located approximately 200–300 metres away, giving guests another wonderful way to enjoy the winter season. After a day in the crisp winter air, return to the warmth of your private Jacuzzi and relax beneath the stars.

From the moment we arrived, the owner greeted us to share all the essential information about the property. We had a beautiful girls weekend with all the amenities that we needed from the well organized kitchen, clean bedrooms, comfortable beds, the large dining table and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We had a fire and enjoyed a glass of wine by the picturesque water. This was exactly the type of cottage location we wanted while maintaining a close proximity to Montreal. I definitely recommend the Spa Finlandais nearby which we all enjoyed. 10/10 stay, would recommend to family and friends!

This is a sweet retreat! This little rustic beauty is nestled in the trees, sits on the riverbank, and has a wonderful view of the river and the many islands within it. It's easy to forget you are in the city because it is so private. The house is tastefully decorated, large, and comfortable, with loads of natural light. There are lovely outdoor areas - a patio with ample seating and a fire pit with seating. Mario and Anais are consummate hosts - delightful, effective communicators, and very attentive, assuring all was going well with our stay. Our main reason for the stay was to acquaint ourselves with Montreal, so we drove to the nearest Metro Station (16 minutes by car) and had a very easy time getting in and out of the city. The best of both - city visits during the day with lovely, comfortable evenings at our home away from home. Our hosts were very accommodating when we had questions about navigating the Metro and road systems.Would definitely choose this place again ourselves and highly recommend it to others.

Hi! This beautiful home with a lakefront view was just perfect. The property was well maintained, clean and had everything one needs with a homey feel. The owners were soooo nice and most accommodating. If we get back to the montreal area, we will definitely want to stay here again!!!
