Eagle Nest Cottage. Weekend Escape to the Nature. In Winter.
Eagle Nest Cottage on the Lac McArthur just 34 minutes from the National Capital Region of Ottawa-Gatineau. The cottage high-ceilinged cathedral-style living room with stunning view of the lake and the mountains. Firepit area with many chairs. Three bedrooms, each bedroom on each level with separate entrances. Absolutely convenient when shared by families. Well maintained lakefront cottage offer two docks and one floating dock with reclining chairs. Plus boat with paddles and much more.
Just steps from Nakkertok Park, Eastern Canada's largest cross country ski club. You can ski there for the whole day. It is 80km of trails!
Just few kilometers from Sommet Edelweiss. You can ski there for the day and in the evening you can enjoy skating on the lake.
Me and my friends had a great weekend at the cottage. The views were amazing and the cottage itself had plenty of things to do. The only complaints I have are that the AC doesnât circulate to the top floors, and that the water near the dock is very shallow and full of weeds. But there are plenty of beautiful areas to paddle out towards for a good swim.
The cottage was exactly as describedâclean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.Volodymyr was an excellent hostâresponsive, friendly, and very accommodating. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and he provided clear instructions for everything.I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, and Iâd be happy to stay here again in the future.
The property and the location are amazing, however we did have two issues with our stay. First we could not get the internet to connect despite trying for two days. Second, there was no fuel for the bbq. The gas line lead to a tank pad with no tank. While these may not be important issues for some people, there were big issues for us.We understand that issues happen, and we adapted, but it was the way the owner responded to our requests for support that we took issue with. The owner took no responsibility for the issues, claiming that "the wrong thing was delivered" or "well, it works for us". Their tone was both dismissive and condescending. We hoped they would meet us in the middle, and requested a one night refund of our stay. We felt this was a reasonable request, but instead were refunded only 100. Communication with the owner was the real issue with our experience, and is the reason for the lower review.
This is a beautiful cottage perched high up with an amazing view down to the lake. The cottage itself is in great condition and has everything you could need for your stay. It is clean and well maintained and comfortable. It is obviously a source of pride for the owner. The lake is large and beautiful and a joy to boat on. This was the first opportunity for members of our family from across the country to get together in quite a while. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time. Thanks!

Eagles Nest
We were disappointed. Too expensive for what we got! We rent here in Val-des-Monts frequently and some images misleading. The view was stunning but hot tub not nice!
Instruction sheet sketchy and we did not get our door code in time, standing around outside at check in time waiting for code! Also he did not get my name correct when he did finally send the code.
We had to go on a hunt for towels and ran out of toilet paper! Went to the nearest Marche for toilet paper.
We did have some nice campfires but we had to buy wood nearby.
We wonât be coming back! Bad experience with owner.
We had an amazing time at this property even though it was spring li conditions the house is beautiful the view is beautiful it had everything we needed the kids enjoyed the hot tub the shuffleboard and all the games and movies we took walks and skied at Edelweiss close by it was amazing and I would recommend this for families the hosts are also great and are quick to answer all your questions amazing trip thanks so much oh and the ring game in the dining area was a big hit we had a contest for four days Lots of fun Joannne and friends
My friends and I loved our reunion trip at Eagle Nest. It is a gorgeous location. The cottage is perfect and easily accommodated the 9 of us. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed and the BBQ and fire pit outside were added bonus. The lake was warm and calm. The view from the cottage is stunning. As others mentioned, there are 100+ stairs down to the lake, so this isn't an ideal property for people with mobility issues or seniors. It wasn't an issue for us.
Volodymyr was easy to communicate with and answered our questions.
The only issue we had - and this isn't reflective of the cottage or Volodymyr - was that one of the guests brought their SeaDoo with them. Volodymyr thought it would be possible to get it in the lake and our group did figure this out (you need a key to access the launch and Volodymyr's brother lives nearby and was kind enough to do this for us). However, an extremely rude and condescending neighbour came over and screamed at us for "speeding in the bay" despite there being no speed limit posted or us being able to know this and us seeing other boats going the same speed as us. Again, this is not reflective of the excellent hospitality provided by Volodymyr, but rather a warning to future guests that there is apparently a speed limit in the bay (the neighbour was too busy yelling to tell us what the speed limit actually was).
I highly recommend Eagle Nest! Thanks to Volodymyr (and his brother) for a great stay.
