Right from the start of our search for a much needed break, the staff at Pine Cove went out of their way to help us. It was opening week for the Lodge and they were hosting a retreat. They still managed to find us a cabin for the time we wanted and answered all of our unending questions with patience... More

I'm just back from the Write on the French writers' retreat, inspired by our mentors, Susan Scott, Russell Smith and Oakland Ross, appreciative of our hosts, Nicola and Alex and their capable staff, and awed by the peace and magnificence of the surroundings. The Lodge at Pine Cove is a lucky find, but luck has nothing to do with its... More

I was blown away by The Lodge at French River. To stay in rustic comfort in such an historic area—right on the route of the Voyageurs where you can run the same rapids, hike the same portages, or paddle leisurely on the same tranquil lakes—was an unparalleled opportunity to reconnect in style with the near-north of my youth (I grew...

A perfect place for two people who love the outdoors. We stayed in the pond cabin. It's beautiful and the screened in porch is perfect! Although we missed out on our am trip up the river due to a DOWNPOUR we did get out shortly in the afternoon, and flipped the canoe.... Oh boy, as Nicky said you are not... More

Definitely the place to stay if you're thinking of an EcoTouristic break. This is the place for "glam-ping" in a very comfy log cabin while canoeing and kayaking and cruising up and down the French River in Renee's pontoon. We went with my inlaws and little boy and we all loved the place and the people! It is very well... More

We chose the Lodge at Pine Cove for our extended family 50th Anniversary celebration getaway. Our party had a mix of expectations regarding adventure, relaxing and comfort, with a group ranging in age from kids to grand parents. The Lodge delivered on all accounts with style. Alex was an amazing host and went out of his way to make our... More

It's been a year since we have been to 'The Lodge'. We have been to a few other vacation spots since that time and all it really does is make me appreciate our trip to Pine Cove even more. The cabins are cozy and clean. The beds are heavenly with big lush pillows and fresh linens. Who doesn't love the... More

It is so rare to find such a wonderful combination of natural beauty, world class paddling and exceptional hospitality. The view from our very comfortable bed was breathtaking. Our cabin was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully appointed. The delivered breakfast basket was fresh, delicious and made us feel special every morning. Food was fantastic. Alex and Nicola were attentive hosts. We... More

I stayed for four nights and absolutely loved it. The nature, food, cleaniness, friendly service and peaceful atmosphere. Not to mention the owner's great hospitality and Burkin the dog. I can highly recommend this lodge to anyone who is after a place for quietness and peace.
