Pros: The most beautiful wooden cabins on the French. The owner (Bruce) makes sure your taken care…read moreof while you are there. Gorgeous views. Great fishing. A beach with Adirondack chairs to relax in after a morning of fishing. The lodge is a great place to hang out during rainy days. Boat launch, and plenty of dock space. Cons: The only con I have is that I live 14 hours away, that and no dogs are allowed. My family has been going to French River for close to 20 years now and every time we leave with memories that will last a lifetime. Waking up in the morning and fishing, and then coming back to the cabin to cook breakfast before we filet our catch in the morning. Water skiing, drinking, sunbathing, swimming, playing board games during the day followed by a sunset view from 'the rock' overlooking the beach and finishing the day with a fire. This place is truly a gem that my family cherishes. After so many memories here as a child I cannot wait to take my children.

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend maybe 3 years ago. We had a nice cottage and the owners…read morewere very friendly. We went out on the lake in a canoe and watched a dog swim across the lake, which I didnt think was possible. There is a little diner in Port Loring that you can walk to, which serves Newfie Steak. The surrounding area is very wild and we didn't feel comfortable venturing into it.

I've had the priviledge of enjoying this camp in Sept, 2012 and loved it so much that I came back…read morein June, 2013 for a couple of days to kick off another vacation. The owners, Jay and Linda, are very responsive to guests' needs and do all they can to make everyone's stay as enjoyable as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend this camp to anyone who wishes to "get away to it all". And, I'll be returning as often as I can! Joe Grigonis Toronto, ON

Mr Copeman demanded payment in cash before we could go in the cottage. He also demanded a $100…read moredamage deposit. He stole this money from my sister who had the cottage next to ours because he said that there was dog pee on the rug, which there was not. He probably deducts expenses from his taxes while at the same time keeping damage deposits. He was at the door at the very second of check out, in fact a few minutes before and rushed us out of the cottage. The cottage advertises a fireplace and when he brought us into the cottage he said "you can't use the fireplace". What a nerve to put it in the advertisement. Be warned if you rent from this man.

The hosts, Angela and Les are very welcoming and friendly…read more We are so glad we found this hidden gem. The cottage we stayed in was small, but well-appointed. The cottages all have private decks, new barbecues, and a view of Doe Lake. The water is great for swimming. There were toys for the kids. There is a good-sized deck and chairs by the water. There is also a boat house with ping-pong, shuffleboard, cards, games, etc. There are also 2 floating docks with a slide. After staying last minute for 2 nights, we know we're going to come back next summer...and we're bringing family and friends to stay with us.
