I will respond in English, French, Mandarin or Spanish, according to your prefered language. Cottages located in the heart of the Lac St-Francois National Wildlife Reserve, site with among the greatest varities of migratory birds in North Eastern North America. Sandhill Cranes, Bald Eagles, Egrets, Osprey, and a large variety of species of ducks and heron. Cottage located on the edge of Lac St-Francis, ideal for canoeing in the marshes and on the St-Lawernce River. 75 minute drive from downtown Montreal, 2 hrs from Ottawa and 90 minutes to Lake Placid. Cottage is a Victorian style directly on the Riverfront. Ideal for canoeing, fishing, hiking on the wildlife reserve, exploring the marshes, fields and forests, searching for the rare Sedge Wren, the piliated woodpecker, watching giant snapping turtles lay their eggs or, in the evening, seeing the deer cross the pasture. The property is populated with mature trees, many over 100 years old, including maples, oaks, shagbark hickory, and a variety of marshland tree species. There are several walking trails in the National Wildlife Reserve, varying from 0.5 to 7 kilometers in length. For those interested in fishing on the St-Lawrence River, an experienced guide can be suggested. Grocery Shopping is approximately 15 minutes away by car. Visit the log cabin on the site, built in 1818, the first home for the Frasers when they landed from Scotland. A fire-pit in front of the cottage is avaiable for evening campfires. You can enjoy your breakfast on the screened veranda, from whence there is a 240 degree view of the St-Lawrence, including a perspective on the St-Lawrence Seaway's main chanel which is approximately 2 miles accross the river. Day canoe trips include visits to an island which is part of the national wildlife park, and exploration of the marshes where heron and osprey nest among the beaver huts. For those with a motor boat, there is an ideal swimming spot approximately 2 kilometers down river, where the bay has a sandy bottom. For strong swimmers, the deep water chanel, just beyond the bay at Fraser Point, is a refreshing place to swim. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of Fraser Point is its sunsets. The sun sets over the river, dipping behind Christatie Island, producing a never ending variety of reds, purples, golds, blues, pinks and oranges all reflected in the river, that will satisfy the most demanding visual tastes. As the sun sets, the bullfrog symphony delights the auditory senses. At about this time, scores of Canada geese return to the bay from their day of feeding in the surrounging fields and flats, providing further rustic musical interludes. For families seeking organized activities for the children, you will be about 1 hour's drive from Upper Canada Village, where you can spend a full day visiting this outdoor museum of reconstructed pioneer homes from the 19th century. You are about 1 hour's drive from Parc Safari, a nature Zoo near Hemmingford. You are approximately 20 minutes from a Drouler's archeological site ( which is a reconstruction of 14th century First Nation village). You are approximately 1 hours' drive from the Adirondack National Park (US) where there are opportunities to climb one or more the 49 high peaks near Lake Placid and the Keene Valley. You are 2 hours' Drive from the Parliament buildings in Ottawa. You are 1 hours' drive from Montréal, where summer festivals are continuous from June to September. Don't miss the summer country fairs in Ormstown, Havelock and Huntingdon, the apple picking season in Rockburn, blueberry picking in July in nearby Cazaville (5 km), exploring the ruins of the Scottish Presbyterian Church in nearby Laguerre. Try eating out at the Rockburn Pub, where antique car owners congregate on Sunday afternoons. Internet service is available at Fraser Point. Pick your own lettuce from the Fraser garden, and enjoy fresh eggs from the Fraser Farm. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

On a été très chanceux il a fait beau tout le séjour. Les voisins sont très sympathiques. Le proprio est disponible au besoin et très sympathique. ##### Francine H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elyse B. 8 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### My favorite place in the world Fraser’s Point is the area’s best-kept secret. Breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence. Walking trails and a bird watch tower. Cozy, vintage cottages. Friendly people and more. I loved coming here for the weekend to show my daughter and husband a place that is so close to my heart. I will be coming back with them! This particular cottage had a fantastic host, Wi-Fi, cell service, all the amenities you could need and even some extras like games and books to read. I can’t recommend coming here enough. ##### Elyse B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Don M. 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great week in Quebec Property owner maintained outstanding communication prior to arriving and during our stay. He had loads of historical knowledge and familial ties to the area since the 1800s. (ask about the history of the cabin!) Property owner was very accommodating and gave us a tour of the property and house upon our arrival detailing all points and providing a historical background. When you walk the house, you can feel the history! The neighbors were great! Very accommodating and helpful! Property owner was also very knowledgeable and offered reccomendations of where to go and how to navigate in Ottawa and Montreal, helpful for first timers! Both cities are within 1.5 hours, so the cottage provided a pefect home base. Plenty of opportunities for exploring by foot or boat because of the location on the St Lawrence and bordering the nature reserves. To get a taste of local area, we recommend visiting local farmer's markets, wineries and cideries; check availability though, as some were open only on weekends. Overall, a wonderful vacation! Just wish we were closer! ##### Don M. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023
