Waterfront Cottage with Sauna, Fire Pit, and Kayaks—A Film-Themed Experience! | House in Mississippi Mills
2 Bedroom House in Mississippi Mills
The Good Northern is a gorgeous film-themed cottage home nestled into natural landscaping on the lazy Mississippi River, home to tons of wildlife. Perfect for quiet retreats and active family vacations, there's plenty to do from kayaking to exploring the Ottawa valley to relaxing in the hammock or the custom outdoor sauna. Our all-season cottage is packed with amenities like wifi, Netflix, BBQ, fire pit, canoe, kayaks, games, and bikes.
Enjoy a cozy stay in out 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath cottage situated at the end of a private road in the island community of Glen Isle, just minutes from Almonte and Carleton Place and nestled in the natural splendor of the Ottawa Valley. The Mississippi River runs through our backyard and is home to wildlife like beavers, loons, geese, bullfrogs, and otters.
Each room in the home is subtly themed after a film or tv series that we love—The Life Aquatic, Amélie, and The Big Lebowski—yet also designed to be comfortable and livable with plenty of seating and things to do. The unique spaces make a perfect backdrop for playful vacay photos.
While you'll spend a lot of your time outside, the cottage has two spaces that allow you to enjoy the outdoors even if it's raining or buggy: a sun room with panoramic views of the lake and a screened-in 3-season porch (May to October only) with views of the lush landscape.
The main bedroom features a queen Endy mattress and a sitting area. The second bedroom has a double memory foam mattress. The main upstairs bath is a full bath with tub and shower. There is a small powder room off the kitchen on the main floor.
The living room features a tv with AppleTV, Amazon Prime TV, and Netflix and a small reading nook with toys, games, and books for children. The sunroom has ample seating, board games, and a working bubble gum machine.
On the back porch, facing the river, you'll find a patio dining set and Napoleon BBQ. Wander down to the river and relax in Muskoka chairs by the fire pit.
The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals: fridge, stove, oven, microwave, kettle, french press (coffee), teapot, utensils, dishes, glasses, pots, pans, coffee, tea, salt, pepper, oil, baking sheets, etc.
In the garage, you will find seasonal summer activities including four bikes. While we have a limited number of helmets, we advise that you bring your own for the best fit. We also have a regulation corn hole game and beanbags to carry out onto the lawn. In the garage, you can play a round of darts or foosball. Garage activities available May to October.
Outside, we have two kayaks and a canoe with paddles and adult and youth life preservers for use from May to October. There is a fire pit for use (purchase your own firewood locally), for evening bonfires when local bylaw permits.
Our sauna was lovingly custom built by us to maximize the beauty of the property. The dry sauna has in-house controls and large windows facing the river and the picturesque sunsets.
The Good Northern is a 7 minute drive to the heart of Carleton Place's restaurants, breweries, activities, and shops including an LCBO and several grocery stores. We are also within 12 minutes of Almonte's main street, and 30 minutes to downtown Ottawa. Set in the Ottawa Valley, we are central to many other attractions like ski hills, golf courses, sugar bushes, and hiking trails.
