About Us…

O’Donnell’s  is a family owned and operated outfitting venture on the Miramichi River in central New Brunswick, Canada. Beginning in 1991 with one cottage and 17 acres of riverfront property, Valerie O’Donnell and her husband Jackie began to build towards what is now called O’Donnell’s Cottages & Expeditions.

By 1995 two more cottages had been added, as well as several Old Town canoes, kayaks, tubes and bicycles to address the growing demands for eco-adventures. The 1999 purchase of Clearwater Hollow Expeditions – one of the largest providers of eco-tourism on the Miramichi – solidified O’Donnell’s as a first class adventure provider. In 2000, a fourth cottage was added, this time a 3-bedroom.

In 2004 we added a new service building which has become the new home of our main office.  It also houses public laundry facilities, a payphone, a pop machine, a kitchen and a dining/meeting room for special events and business conferences.

Since 2002 we have been offering corporate packages. Many departments and business owners are discovering just how conductive O’Donnell’s is with clear thinking and fresh ideas. Combining meetings and deadlines with a chance to get outside for some physical activity and team building, rejuvenating not only the body but the mind as well.

We are the perfect home base for snowmobiling in central New Brunswick. From here you can access most of the province on groomed trails. We now make the sport of snowmobiling accessible to you with our affordable rental service, trail maps and general information about the trails. Also in winter we offer snowshoe rentals and packages along with cross country skiing.

We invite you to visit with us and experience the  friendly service and great hospitality of the Miramichi region. Let us help plan your next vacation or group meeting.
