Mowat Landing Cottages

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.

Went fishing there with friends fishing was good. Boat broke down not reliable. The owner turns the generator off when you are out fishing. Some of our food spoiled. The owner nickels and dimes you and charged us for extra gas we never used. It's a run down fishing place. If you are looking for a crappy time this is the place to be. STAY AWAY!!!!

We were a little bit disturbed w the service we got here. In like April we had booked a 3 room cottage that we were sharing w my brother❤his wife. 2 days before leaving for our trip (which was on holiday wknd in Aug as well as Quebec truck pull so EVERYTHING was booked full) we got a call from Trevor saying we can't have the cottage anyhow cuz it needs to get the sewer system fixed. All he offered to us was a 1 room cabin (which was not enuf for 2 married couples) & he said we're free to set up a tent in their front lawn (my brother❤his wife took the cabin) which was all on a slope. It was rainy & cold that wknd (like 12 degrees) so needless to say we did not set up a tent. Luckily my uncle had 2 cabins booked close & if they squished we were able to have a room there. The other very disturbing thing was wen we arrived there was noone around in the office/store, (there was LAYERS of dust on the things in the store) we hit the bell like 3 times, the last we hit it quite long.... Finally some sleepy looking guy came & pointed us in the direction we were to go...... We met all of once w Trevor, he seemed to be having some family reunion of sorts at his campground there, too busy to even apologize or anything. I don't imagine we'll be back rite away.

Trevor is chill dude. He owns a store right next to the cottages, so you can always stock up before a canoe or fishing trip. Nothing plush about the cottages themselves, and the prices reflect that. Bon fire location, both a private and public boat launch, parking for a week or more if you need it. Great access to Obikaka and Lady Evelyn Smoothwater, but the canoe rental prices are high.
