Canoeing, sailing, good fishing, and swimming. Stroll the Camp Comfort lane and the old Route #1, enjoy the loons. So heavily wooded you will never see a neighbor. Adjacent log cabin can be rented for large groups of use of the sauna.
Camp Comfort is the name of a quiet community of cottagers from Montreal, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, and Chicago. This is the Axtell's family cottage at Camp Comfort bought in 1921 by my grandmother from New York City. Telka was lured to the lake for the fishing and also probably as reminded her of the lovely rolling hills of her native Slovakia. This region also attracted several Swiss families in the 1980's.
Our Scandinavian scribed cedar log cabin, perfect for couples! Small but everything you really need: shower/change room, kitchenette, hardwood floors, and queen bed.
Water: Lac Alymer (200 ft of shoreline, 30 ft away from cottage) one of the largest lakes in Southern Quebec is renown for Dore (Walleye). Fed by the historic St. Francis River, on the huge Ward bay (5 x 8 km) Excellent sailing, even in September! Nearby (1 km) Coloumb river is a sanctuary for birds, otter and beaver (canoe North along the shore - pass under two bridges, turn sharp left and follow river - it's really amazing!).
