Montague Cottage, a Pickerel River Cottage Rental in Northern Ontario
Montague Cottage is a boat access Pickerel River cottage rental connected to the French River Delta in Northern Ontario. The cottage sleeps 6 across two bedrooms and sits on its own private, waterfront lot with a two section dock and sandy swim area. Bookings run Saturday to Saturday from mid May through late October.
A Cottage for Every Kind of Traveler
Montague Cottage works for anglers chasing trophy Musky, families who want a safe beach for the kids, and couples looking for a quiet week on the water. Here is what each type of guest can expect.
Fishing on the Pickerel River
The Pickerel River is home to Muskellunge, Walleye, Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, and Northern Pike. Spring and fall bring strong Walleye runs, summer is prime Bass season, and Pike bite steady all year from the dock or a short boat ride out. Local fishing guides are available for guests who want an experienced hand finding the best holes, and a full breakdown of species and seasons is on our Pickerel River fishing activities page.
A Family Friendly Cottage Rental
Kids get a full acre of grass to play on plus a sandy beach area right at the cottage. Panfish are easy to catch off the dock, which makes for an easy first fishing trip for younger guests. Two living rooms and a pull out sofa in the sun room give families room to spread out.
Waterfront Living on Your Own Dock
The dock stretches 8 by 32 feet and is set up for boating, casting a line, or just watching the sunset. Northern lights are visible on clear nights, and the surrounding shoreline is quiet enough to hear wolves howl after dark. Full details on what is included with your stay are on our accommodations and rates page.
Plan Your Pickerel River Vacation
Beyond fishing and the water, guests can hike nearby trails, paddle the historic fur trade route through the French River Delta, or spend an afternoon photographing the rock shoreline and pine forest. Montague Cottage borders French River Provincial Park and sits about 45 minutes from Science North in Sudbury.
Cottage Amenities
Inside, the cottage has two living rooms with a wood burning stove, two bedrooms, a three piece bath, and a kitchen large enough to seat 8. A front sun room with a pull out bed and a back mud room add extra sleeping and storage space. Outside, a back deck holds a propane barbecue and the front deck faces the water for evening sunsets.
