Downey Bay Outfitter
About
Downey's Bay Cottages (Downey Bay Outfitter) sits on a 1,700-acre family estate on the banks of the majestic Ottawa River, in Sheenboro, in the Pontiac (Outaouais). The property has three waterfalls and three private freshwater lakes, mixed forests where whitetail deer roam, and a private natural sand beach for swimming and fishing. Three distinct cottages blend rustic charm with modern comfort: the Creekside (3 bedrooms, sleeps 6, creekside, seasonal), the Riviera (5 bedrooms, sleeps 10, modern 4-season, wood-fired Scandinavian sauna) and the Mountain View (a restored former sheepfold, sleeps 6, propane fireplace). All are fully equipped (water, electricity, full kitchen and bathroom, Wi-Fi, linens included). As a licensed outfitter (safari-organizer permit), the business offers guided experiences rooted in local knowledge: trophy walleye fishing on the river and a network of remote lakes, ice fishing in winter, whitetail deer and black bear hunting on its private grounds, plus a range of four-season activities — guided quad, snowmobile and canoe excursions, waterskiing and wakeboarding. A getaway in the wild where the logistics are handled for you.
