Whitepine Cottage

Whether relaxing on the deck to the sound of tumbling water and wind in the trees, lounging in the cool water in one of many river pools, hiking the surrounding forest trails, or taking to the water with either kayak or canoe, Whitepine Cottage is the perfect spot to wile away the lazy days of summer.
Available from May 1 to October 31.
