Saugeen River Retreat property is ~ 1600 square feet of elegance and comfort. Our cottages are located on a very private and quiet waterfront property with ~800 feet on Saugeen River, in the middle of an impressive 4 acres riverfront lot covered by forest, within the boundaries of the town of Southampton. The 3 cottages are nestled between the Chippewa Golf course and the river. Our dream cottages were built overlooking the pristine Saugeen River. All cottages face the river bend south and have stunning vistas.
Beautiful wood beam ceilings throughout were preserved over the years and they are complemented by new ceramic floors and reconditioned original hardwood floors. There is no carpet. The rooms are very stream lined with no clutter! And the windows! The views! It must be seen to be appreciated!! Please watch our video clips on youtube by searching "Saugeen River Retreat" under my channel "Rick Radu" for a better understanding.
If you are craving a relaxing retreat, we are offering you a chance to enjoy the beautiful outdoors that nature has provided around our cottage. What more could you ask for than a relaxing week on this pristine river paradise in luxurious renovated cottages.

Saugeen River is considered as one of Ontario's best Steelhead fishing rivers by fishing enthusiasts. Relax beside the picturesque Saugeen River or paddle to Denny's Dam or the shores of Lake Huron. Do you love golfing? Try the flawless greens of Chippewa Golf and Country Club that spread out into a relaxing setting just across the street from our property.

| We had a nice time at the cottage. Rick and his son are both very nice people. The place was clean and they had just added a second fridge which is great. We did have a small issue and they were quick to fix it. I would have to say the grounds need to be cleaned up a bit. Lots of old furniture in the weeds that just needs to be removed. The canoe and kayaks were in amongst the weeds also. We loved South Hampton and the surrounding area and took a day trip into Tobermory. Make sure you book ahead if you want to see Flower Pot Island it is worth it!

Owner response: Hi Pauline, We would like to thank you for your comments! Our goal is to offer the best vacation experience for our guests. We also believe the only way for us to improve is to listen to our guests and implement their constructive suggestions ASAP. Thus, we would like to mention that we were not fully satisfied with the new fridges and returned them to Leon's. They were very helpful and have modeled a perfect customer service to us by helping us to secure two new, more expensive, larger fridges, which were delivered the week after you left. So far all our guests have appreciated them! We will continue to keep up with the maintenance as needed and be available to fix anything which needs fixing in a timely manner to satisfy our guests. The grounds: we manicured the extensive grounds after you left! We love nature as it is but you are right: trimming the plants around the property did improve the looks right the way! The ?weeds? from the watercraft area were also trimmed all around and in between kayaks. The old wooden furniture located in different spots over the gardens (due to COVID situation we were not able to store them properly over the winter this year) have seen better days, we agree, and we will have to discard them once we get new ones ASAP. We are shopping for new one now. I hope to see you again next year to check if your suggestions were implemented right! Thanks again, Rick and Alexander | |

| Another amazing vacation. Can't say enough about this beautiful spot. You would think you are in the middle of no where but just up the road is beautiful Southampton. The 3 cottages work out perfect for our family. Everyone getting the privacy they want. We brought our own kayaks but there are kayaks canoes and paddle boards there to use. We have our afternoons down by the river and this year we brought floaters. Worked perfect for a happy hour float. Then enjoyed our dinner and fire in the upper level. The cottage is fully stocked with everything you will need. Loved this place. Booking again but this time for 2 weeks.

| Another wonderful peacefull vacation at our favourite cottage. As usual, just like on our previous visits Rick was very accomodating. We had a glorious week of beautiful weather and breathtaking views. We caught some huge carp, freshwater drum, catfish and bass during our stay with the largest been a 15.56 lb carp. I also lost something huge over night, it snapped my line on my catfish rod with 50 lb line. We also enjoyed the new improvements, a new 58" smart TV in the main cottage and new lighting all around both cottages. We aldo loved the new squirrel/chimonk feeding stations where we watched the squirels and chipmonks scrambling to get as many nuts as possible. Thank you Rick and family for another glorious vacation.

| My family and I had a fantastic vacation at the Saugeen River Retreat. Location is beautiful and private, while at the same time being accessible to stores and the Southampton Beach. Cottages were clean, thoughtfully stocked, and fit all of us very comfortably. We enjoyed playing badminton, soccer, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. The property also offers two fire pits to enjoy a fire and stargazing (sky is crystal clear!). Rick and his family were amazing hosts and responded quickly to any of our questions. Rick shared local tips about fishing, wildlife, and sightseeing of the area which helped maximize our enjoyment of the retreat and our vacation. Thanks again Rick and family for a wonderful time!

| We had a great time at the cottage this year with our children and grandchildren. Having the three buildings worked out fantastic as our two daughters and their husbands could each stay in one of the smaller buildings, while my son & grandsons were able to stay with us in the larger cottage. Feeling like you are in the middle of the wilderness, while only being a couple of minutes away from town was the ultimate in vacation convenience. There was so much to do with great beaches nearby, and a visit to Spirit Rock near Wiarton and the grotto near Tobermory made for great day trips. We also made great use of the kayaks and canoe on the river, although unfortunately we didn't catch any fish.
Rick & his son Alex were very helpful stopping by a couple of times to ensure that everything was all right made us feel that no matter what happened we would be well looked after. With our two dogs, the privacy of the place was great as we were sure that they wouldn't be bothering any neighbours. Our whole family agreed that we had a great time and look forward to returning in future years.

Owner response: Hi Bruce, What a nice family you have! Nice and well behaved dogs too! Thanks for turning the property to us as it was handed to you: in perfect condition and very clean. You are right: this is a special property (amazing location on the river and privacy in the forest yet extremely close to the city with water and sewage and the beach diamond in the ruff). Thanks for replacing the broken coffee pot. You are welcome back! Please remember we offer 5% off for our previous guests. Book this year and we will match the 2018 prices next year. Rick, Alex and family | |
