Black River Cottages

South Marysburgh

Accommodation, Family Friendly, Good for Groups, Pool

Nestled along the peaceful Black River in Prince Edward County, Black River Cottages is a family-run waterfront retreat where guests come to slow down, reconnect, and return year after year.

Our property features eleven thoughtfully spaced, self-contained cottages, each with its own personality and charm. Whether you’re planning a quiet couples’ getaway, a family vacation, or a group stay, our cottages offer comfort, privacy, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Guests love our natural setting — mornings by the river, evenings around the fire, and plenty of space for children to play and explore. With kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, bikes, and a large playground on site, there’s something for every age, while still feeling calm and unrushed.

We’re proud to be a place where returning guests feel like family. Many have been coming back for years, creating traditions and memories that span generations. Black River Cottages isn’t about luxury or crowds — it’s about warmth, connection, and the simple joy of being together in a beautiful setting.
