A Natural Getaway

Private towards the world, public towards nature

Situated on a historical property dating back to the 1860s, Oiseau Bay Cottage Resort provides rare opportunities to reconnect, both with those you love the most and with nature. As the closest resort to Oiseau Rock, there's no shortage of forest excursions, water adventures, and peaceful moments at Oiseau Bay.

Explore Oiseau Rock

Oiseau Rock rises from the Ottawa River like something out of legend, a 150-meter cliff etched with ancient Indigenous pictographs. Paddle close and the world goes quiet, just wind, water, and time. Climb to the top and you'll see miles of untouched forest and river winding through it, the kind of view that silences every thought.

Swim, Fish, and Float

At Oiseau Bay, the water calls you in. Two sandy beaches and a private dock stretch out into the Ottawa River, perfect for swimming, casting a line, or just drifting under the sun. Kayaks wait on shore, ready for anyone who wants to glide through calm morning water or chase the sunset across the bay. It's slow, simple, and exactly what summer is supposed to feel like.

Trails For Every Soul

The trails at Oiseau Bay wind through forests that still feel wild, quiet, green, and alive. As the closest resort to Oiseau Rock, guests can step right from their cottage onto paths that lead to the famous cliff and beyond, weaving through ridges, riversides, and hidden lookouts. Whether you're chasing sunrise views or a slow afternoon walk, the trails here have a way of reminding you how good it feels to move through real nature.

Reconnect with what matters

Evenings at Oiseau Bay aren't about screens or schedules. They're about firelight, laughter, and the people sitting next to you. As the sun drops behind the trees, the world slows down. You hear the crackle of the fire, the soft rush of the river, maybe someone strumming a guitar. Stories start to flow, old memories resurface, and suddenly you remember what connection actually feels like. No notifications, no noise, just warmth, stars, and good company.
