Enjoy the solitude, character and charm of a timber frame chalet nestled on an acre of land. Its private, park-like setting along the banks of the Madawaska River provides the perfect retreat. Stunning views can be enjoyed from virtually every room of the house. Polaris Taigh is the perfect place to escape and unwind in any season! Enjoy the chalet as a couple or share the experience as a family. This chalet is located in the heart of area activities, festivals and events. Its close proximity to Calabogie Peaks and the Calabogie Motorsports Park provides a great place to stay and relax after spending the day doing what you enjoy most. In addition, you'll find the area offers great bistros, restaurants, live music, beaches, hiking/ ski trails, not to mention golf and downhill skiing. Take the canoe and kayaks (included with rental) out for a paddle along the Madawaska River then relax and enjoy your evening by the water with the warmth of a bonfire as you sink into the Muskoka chairs.
Polaris Taigh is a four season home, offering all the comforts one would expect, with the ambiance of a ski chalet. You'll love the cathedral ceiling with its post and beam construction. The open floor plan and large great room provides an ideal space to entertain family and friends! The screened-in porch and private deck off the main floor bedroom provide perfect locations to enjoy your morning coffee and the tranquility.
There are beds to sleep six (6). The main floor bedroom has two queen beds with direct access to the main floor bathroom. The spacious loft has a king-sized bed and an ensuite bathroom. The walk-out basement offers a bathroom and laundry facilities, while providing lower-level entry to/from the yard. There are four (4) air mattresses provided and they can be used in the large unfurnished bedroom located on the lower level. You are welcome to bring sleeping bags for the children and make use of the room and the air mattresses.
For your comfort, and our reassurance, the house has been updated with a new deck, floating dock, and updated kitchen. You'll also appreciate the central air, water cooler, washer & dryer, BBQ, and beach towels, in addition to the paddling vests (PFDs).

| I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful cottage, and I cannot recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home away from home. Danielle and Greg were incredibly responsive, making sure every aspect of our stay was perfect.
The cottage itself was immaculate and fully equipped with everything we needed. The attention to detail was evident in every room, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Nestled in a beautiful location, the surroundings offered a tranquil and picturesque escape.
We had a fantastic time engaging in various activities like fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Each day was filled with fun and adventure, making our stay even more memorable. Whether you're looking for relaxation or excitement, this cottage has it all.
Overall, our stay exceeded all expectations. We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and we can't wait to return. If you're looking for a perfect getaway, this cottage is the ideal choice!

| We could not have found a better place for a much needed cottage get away. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained with access to swimming off of the dock. The owners add many little details to make your stay welcoming and are readily available should you have questions. Thank you so much to the owners! My family and I really needed the opportunity to relax and reconnect after my chemo treatments and this was the perfect place for it. We will be returning!

| Amazing! Exceeded our expectations in every way. Was a wonderful place to relax, the property was immaculately clean and had everything you needed for a cottage stay. The owners were polite, quick to respond and went above and beyond to make our stay simply perfect. Would recommend and would go back in a heart beat!

| We could not have asked for a nicer cottage to spend our vacation in! It was extremely well appointed, including towels, bedding, paper products and even coffee filters. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there. The first bonfire was laid and there was a selection of lifejackets for every size so that everyone could use the canoe and kayaks provided. The owners paid attention to the fine details that made our stay very comfortable - down to a bottle of wine and s'mores kit to welcome us.
The river was calm, with a bit of a current, and warm. A pleasure to swim in! Water access is via the dock or the canoe/kayak launching spot.
The location is perfect for people coming from Ottawa or the Ottawa Valley. Far enough away to feel like a real holiday and close enough to be easily accessible.
We will definitely be back!

| Amazing week at the cottage. Spacious, immaculately maintained, and every detail was thought of down to marshmallow roasting sticks. Close proximity to the local restaurants and beaches (even though swimming off the dock is equally fun!) and the owners are extremely responsive to our many questions. Already booked for next year!
