The wood grand staircase leads to the third floor where you will find three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a spacious master bedroom with it's own private full bath. Across a small cottage road there is a private gated sandy beach area with dock and slide for use by Swift Cottage guests exclusively.

It was like coming home. You know when you walk into someone’s house and it just feels loved, calm and comfortable, that was the swift cottage. Because of that the famjam (we had our 4 kids with us, 5month old, 2.5,9&11 year old) all adjusted seamlessly. When we drove up I won’t lie we didn’t realize it was literally right beside the hwy60 and with little kids we were a bit worried but honestly it wasn’t an issue. The noise wasn’t an issue either you still hear the beauty trees surrounding the property and birds chirping. The rooms all have great space and the games room was epic for unwinding and rainy days. The walk-in level was also really cool temperature wise which was awesome since it was a heat wave. Despite that there were so many good fans too that we didn’t feel uncomfortable. The private gated beach and all the water toys was perfection. The Canoe, my dad (we surprised my parents with this trip and took them too) took out and he felt so good it had been years since he had paddled. There are also a ton of hiking trails close by. There is one literally down the road “beetle lake trail” that loops around the lake oxtongue but the bridge to link the sides broke so it’s two trails now and can’t do the loop. If you want a good lookout go to the other side of the lake entrance has 3 beautiful ones so we did that side of the trail. Rugged falls is also a 5 min drive and one of the top 10 waterfalls in Ontario. Can’t say enough about this place!

We had a group of 8 adults for a weekend getaway. The cottage had plenty of room for all of us. The beach area was great for swimming and we a great time kayaking to the falls up the river. It was also really nice to be so close to algonquin outfitters to rent an extra Kayak for the day. I would recommend this cottage.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Swift cottage. The property was exactly as described. Beds were really comfortable, although no AC, there were sufficient fans to cool off. It was nice that it was so close to an outfitter store as we took advantage and rented kayaks for a day and paddled up to Ragged Falls, quite a neat experience. My only suggestion would be to let guests know that paper towels and toilet paper are not provided, it is quite far to go back for those amenities. I would definitely come back!!
