We stayed at Mowat Landing Cottages for 3 nights. We had a fantastic time! Trevor was so friendly and helpful throughout our stay! Cottage # 3 - "The Love Shack". Great clean small cabin with King sized bed. Nice deck with BBQ. Great views of the river from inside or on the deck! The kitchen has everything you need - microwave, stove, oven, fridge, pots, pans, utensils, glassware, dishes, etc... No problems at all encountered with any of the appliances. Nice clean bathroom too. Amenities: - No cell phone service, and wifi service that runs a little slow but manageable. - Boats - we rented a 16' Aluminum boat for a couple days. Trevor was amazing - did a great walk-through of it, and showed us some hot fishing spots on the lake! Rental prices were good, and he has life jackets also. Plus there's canoes, kayaks, and other boats for rent. - He has a lot of firewood chopped and ready - all included in the price. - Bring your own soaps, shampoo, and towels - they are not provided. But the bed linen is. - There's a little store on site in the office with a lot of canned goods for purchase in case you need to compliment the food you bring. They sell fishing equipment and bait too. The Area: - The cottage is 15 minutes off of Highway 11. - Government dock/boat launch is next door. River edges are very shallow, so boats with a stern drive may not get into the Mowat Landing docks. Mowat Landing is as advertised. Totally 5-star in terms of friendliness and cleanliness!

Just back from a week at Mowat and it was fantastic! Wonderfully large rustic cabin, equipped with all the creature comforts including a wood burning stove for the cooler evenings. Had our own fire pit and bbq which was perfect (wood was already cut and stacked for us to use). Enjoyed fishing the Montreal River and seeing the plentiful wildlife. Trevor is an awesome host who goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Looking forward to trying ice-fishing next time. We chose Mowat Landing Cottages because we could drive our car right to the cottage, no need to load our food and gear into a boat. Trevor also has very flexible boat rental options (hourly, daily, weekly) as well as many different types of boats available. The boat I wanted wasn't available so Trevor gave us a better boat at the same price...so grateful! Also, because they are his boats on his dock, there is no need to return the boat by a certain time, a boat rental for the day is truly for the entire day. The recently installed solar power system gave us silent power throughout the night which was great for us as we forgot to bring flashlights. No cell signal there but the WI-FI kept us connected with friends and family back home. Fishing the Montreal river was a real treat, unlike all the lakes in Ontario we didn't have to worry about choppy waves or bad weather ruining our boating. There are tons of bays and weedy areas that are full of fish as well as deep water channels and holes, I caught a lot of large mouth Bass which I wasn't expecting. I would definitely recommend Mowat Landing Cottages if you don't want to commit to 7 days of non-stop fishing, a very relaxing experience.…
Just got back from an amazing weekend of fun, fishing, breathtaking views, cozy, clean accommodations and fantastic hospitality from Trevor and Lisa! Looking forward to visiting again in the summer! The wood stove was warm when we arrived, cottages had everything we needed.
Great place ! Worth the drive Big clean cottage, Trevor and Lisa go out of their way to make your stay comfortable Trevor knows the area very well and is a great guide to the fishing holes We will definitely be going back in the summer
I'll start off with saying that Trevor and Lisa were great hosts. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable enough for 6 of us to stay in. Trevor ensured that we had everything we needed and that the wood stove was maintained while we were out and about for the day. It was nice to return back to a nice, warm and cozy cabin. If you're looking for an amazing place to go ice fishing and snowmobiling this is your place. The cabin is not far from Lady Evelyn lake which we discovered has some excellent walleye fishing, Trevor pointed us in the right direction and he put us on the fish. In addition to lady evelyn there are countless back lakes in close proximity that offer great fishing and snowmobiling as well. The OFSC trail is a short distance down the road from the cabin if you are more interested in trail riding. I encourage everyone to give this place a try. Group had an awesome time at Mowats and we have already booked for 2021. Thanks again Trevor and Lisa.…
We stayed at Mowat Landing Cottages 7 years ago for 3 nights. Have been going back now 3 times over 7 years and plan on keeping going back. Very nice cottages, friendly owners, good people in my books. Generator running from 7am until 11pm for hydro.This year 2020 they have a brand new solar system for hydro. Excellent fishing off the shore and by boat. There is also a small convenience store if you need odds and ends.We were there in August 2019 and booked for July 2020 already. Will recommend 100%
As one review states, don’t judge a book by its cover. The outside of the cottages do not match the inside. Love the cathedral ceilings. The huge bathroom was totally unlike any we’ve seen at a fishing camp! And the hospitality shown by Trevor was beyond expectations. Our relatives from the US plan to make a return visit soon.
I stayed at these wonderful cottages for three days over a weekend. Upon our arrival, our host, Trevor was welcoming and friendly. The cottage was clean and well prepared for our guests. He went out of his way to ensure our visit would be a great one!
We were there May long run, A much needed family get away (second time there), I loved the fishing and the wife loved the beauty and quiet of the place (very relaxing). We stayed in the cutest little cottage, all though the outside looked a little rustic, the inside was very clean and modern. (we both loved the hot tub.) Trevor and Lisa were excellent hosts that made us feel comfortable and welcome. well being going back very soon. Thank you for making our weekend memorable.
DO NOT RENT HERE!!!! PLEASE READ THIS!!! Friend and I rented for a week Oct 2017. Upon arrival Trevor was drunk and border line rude and condescending. He said he had maps available for the area and handed over a photo copy of hand scribbled paper with slang land marks of the area. He indicated $450 per person based on 3 people but said he would give the 2 of us a great deal and charged us $1350?? The cottage had strong odour of mold/mildew throughout. Front door was missing and only had broken screen door. One bedroom had no door. The cottage is very old and run down. Front porch roof totally rotten and really unsafe with railing missing. Very dangerous for children. No carbon monoxide alarms and stove runs on propane!! Windows very old, rotten and drafty. We killed at least 20-50 house flies per day and continually came in and was annoying while trying to sleep. Trevor said he would not charge us for firewood if we were conservative with it but which was easy because firewood was green/unseasoned. Wet wood created poor fire so it was cold inside as front door was missing. Old fireplace had very poor draw and smoke came inside and we felt it was blocked with creosote. Newspaper was wet and and had to ask for good wood and kindling. Bedding was soiled and had not been changed. Washroom floor sagged about 2 inches when walked on and completely rotten from cracked toilet leaking. Trevor yells at 3 dogs on site that are not friendly and continually fight. Rented a boat and charged us $50 for $20 of gas. Main generator for entire camp was on in morning and off at night at random times in evening and morning. Guests (from Cardinal, Ontario) at next cottage had to start it in the morning for the week cause they said Trevor slept in. They said the will not be coming back as well. Trevor was a personable fellow but in my opinion in the wrong line of work. We didn't stay the full week Please don't make the same mistake we made, you work hard for your holidays each year and can find much, much better out there for much cheaper.…
