Story
Our cottage is so much more than a rental
Our cottage, now known as "River's Edge Retreat," is more than just a short-term rental. It is a symbol of cherished memories and a testament to the enduring bond shared by the Barron and Cain families.
In the summer of 1967, the Cains and Barrons decided to embark on a joint adventure and share a cottage on this picturesque property. Little did they know that this decision would lay the foundation for a lifelong connection. They spent countless years creating memories, enjoying the gentle flow of the river, and casting their lines in hopes of catching a big salmon!
As the years passed, the families grew closer, and their bonds strengthened. In 1976, the Barrons decided to build their own cottage, now known as River's Edge Retreat. The following year, the Cains constructed a log home next door, creating a haven for both families to escape the city and create lasting memories.
Time moved forward, and life's inevitable changes took place. In 2023, the matriarch of the Barron family peacefully passed away, leaving behind a legacy of love and a cottage filled with cherished moments. In a gesture of honor and respect for the heritage of this beautiful property, the Cain family graciously took ownership of the Barron cottage.
With a deep appreciation for the history and significance of the cottage, the Cain family embarked on a journey to revamp and renovate the River's Edge Retreat. The cottage now stands as a testament to the love and care that the Barron family once poured into it.
We, the Cain family look forward to sharing with you just how charming and relaxing the renovated River's Edge Retreat truly is. This short term rental is more than a rental property, it’s a place to connect with family, create long lasting memories and experience the calm of nature.
As the sun sets over the Miramichi River, casting a golden glow upon the cottage, the laughter and joy of families echo through its walls. The spirit of the past intertwines with the promise of the future, creating a timeless bond that will forever connect the families who have been touched by the magic of River's Edge Retreat.
Come rest with us...

This place was soo pretty and cozy. The host put christmas decorations everywere for us. I would recommend for familly with kids (the master bedroom is massive). Although, the river is really close I would be careful with young kids and pets. We totaly felt at home. This place is amazing and we will come back for sure !

Best Airbnb experience ever!! Amazing spot! Absolutely lovely retreat with amazing views of the river and wildlife. Enjoyed long walks, kayaking in the river and watching the sunset! Terrific kitchen with everything you need to cook a gourmet meal or many local restaurants nearby as well. I recommend the Ledges specifically. The best part was the most restful sleep of my life. The most amazing mattress, linens and duvet surrounded by a quiet, dark night and waking up to birds chirping in the morning! Super clean and has everything you need!The host Leah was very responsive and welcoming.
