About this property

Relax on the Shores of Charming Lac McArthur

Hillside Getaway is a three bedroom, four season cottage, The cottage itself overlooks beautiful Lac McArthur. The cottage has a hot tub located right adjacent to it, on the attached balcony. Just step outside from the living room. There you will find a wonderful place from which to savour the dramatic views of Lac McArthur while you soak yourselves in the warm, soothing waters.
On the lake there is a private dock with a roomy deck/seating area just above it. This deck is the perfect place for you to enjoy an early morning coffee. Later, in the afternoon a cool beverage will delight you. Imagine sitting on the edge of the dock, your fishing line in hand, waiting for the fish to bite. Help the kids bait their hooks and then wait for the screams of delight as the fish take their bait.
This cottage is a waterfront gem that sleeps 6 comfortably in three bedrooms. It has one queen and two double beds. The cottage is all on one level with balcony and hot tub facing towards the lake. Get your mornings started right with complimentary tea and coffee. Relax on the cottage balcony or luxuriate lakeside on the lower deck. Here you can settle back with your favourite beverage while you wait for the fish to bite. Or you can just watch the waters of Lac McArthur and the boaters as they go by. Make sure to set some time aside to head out on the lake yourself in our paddle boat (4 life jackets are provided). We also provide a paddle board and paddle and two inflatable kayaks.
Hillside Getaway allows you to return to the basics of cottage life: relaxation, enjoyment of the out-of-doors and unwinding from the challenges of our urban existence. Welcome to a simpler, more organic life among the maples overlooking the calming waters of Lac McArthur. Hillside Getaway is a place that is in tune with basic cottage philosophy. It has all the essentials you will need while giving you unfettered access to the therapeutic wonders of nature.

Beautiful winter getaway!

We stayed for 2 nights at Hillside in Feb 2025. This accommodation was the perfect location for a picturesque and relaxing winter getaway. We were able to access the property with ease and found the paths and deck very well cleaned for the winter weather. The inside of the cottage was beautifully decorated with quaint and classic charm. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace each night and enjoyed the view from the deck. It was the perfect place to unplug from the norm and enjoy a thoughtful experience. The hot tub also provided a nice feature to enhance relaxation and enjoy being outdoors in the winter. Overall the accommodations are very cozy, clean and well maintained. We cooked lovely meals in the full kitchen each evening and enjoyed coffee with a view each morning. I highly recommend this property for couples and families alike. I cannot wait to return in the summer months to enjoy the lake experience. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Why they chose this property

Here you will find the real Quebec cottage experience. Mature maple trees surround the cottage while the views of Lac McArthur are magnificent. Each season brings its own features, from brilliant fall colours to the soft snows of winter to the gentle summer breezes coming off Lac McArthur. And the soft green hues of spring-time have to be seen to be believed!
