About Us
Where Killarney meets French River.
Killarney / French River, Ontario, Canada
The rock outcroppings and majestic topography along the pristine waters is a sight to behold. Make Hartley Bay cottages your hub to visit the various brag worthy destinations, such as The Killarney, French River and Grundy Lake provincial parks, or just relax and kick back at the cottages, that have it all. For a quaint town experience, and last-minute shopping, drive down via a scenic drive to the towns of Alban, Noellville or Monetville. A week is merely an ice breaker for everything this place has to offer!
