SAÜNA Retreat - Norman by the River

Welcome to Norman by the River, a retreat designed with groups in mind! Unwind in the private 8 person SAÜNA, perfect for warming up after a hard day's work or a cold day on the trails. With direct access to snowmobile paths, river views, and ample parking space, it's ideal for groups and families alike. Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, free Wi-Fi, and a cozy living space to relax in after an active day in nature. Make this your comfortable home base for work or play!

Norman by the River is a bright & airy space, receiving tons of natural light during the day. On the main floor, guests can find two bedrooms with queen beds, a living area with a leather couch, comfortable papasan chairs and a 45" smart TV, and a quaint dining area including a full kitchen and dishwasher. The spacious entrance has tons of storage, and guests can take advantage of the large rainfall shower in the bathroom, as well as a separate laundry room. Guests can also access the quaint loft space through a staircase in the secondary bedroom.

The location is ideal for snowmobile enthusiasts as the OFSC trail is within 100m of the front door. The backyard is fully fenced, and chairs and a fire pit are provided for guests wanting to relax by the fire at the end of a busy day.

Professionally managed by Go North Lodging.


Pets
Pets are allowed at the property, however guests must follow the pet rules and pay an additional $90 pet fee (applied automatically when pet is identified in the reservation).

SNOW REMOVAL
A snow removal contractor has been hired for winter months (November - March). We ask that guests remove their vehicles from the driveway to allow the contractors to completely clear the driveway when they come by. If guests aren't able to move their vehicles/trailers, we ask that they park them closest to the backyard to allow the snow removal team to clear as much of the driveway as possible. We appreciate your cooperation!


HOUSE RULES
We take great pride in Norman by the River, and to ensure future guests can continue to enjoy the space we ask that you abide to the following rules. Failure to comply may result in penalties.

1) Absolutely no smoking or vaping inside the home. Smoking/vaping is permitted outside, and cigarette butts MUST be disposed in proper receptacles (not thrown on ground).
2) This home is pet friendly, however pets are not permitted on any furniture or beds. Pet owners must also pick up after them & dispose of feces in the large grey garbage bin outside.
3) Guests are asked to avoid excessive noise after 11pm and before 7am to respect neighbours.
4) This home is not suitable for large gatherings or events, and the property's total capacity is 8 for sleeping.

SAUNA Rules

Relaxing Getaway
Overall a very quiet neighborhood. We found out that there was not that much to do in Timmins itself so we ventured out to Cochrane. We visited the Polar Bear Habitat and the museum over there.We walked two trails in the city.

Norman By the River
The property is beautiful, clean and well appointed. We started to relax the minute that we entered the home. This property felt like our home away from home. Most hotels that offer “pet friendly” rooms are cringe worthy. This home puts them all to shame. Our shih Tzu loved having a place to roam. Far better than a hotel!
