About this cottage rental

Welcome to “Sun on the Brow”
Situated on the border of two of Ontario’s great cottage regions, Rideau Lakes and South Frontenac. Opinicon Lake is part of a series of lakes navigated by water travellers of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Rideau River/Canal system since the mid-1800s. Davis Lock to the south draining into Sand lake and beyond towards Kingston, and northerly through Chaffey’s lock into Clear lake and on towards Ottawa. ‘Sun on the Brow’ is a beautiful setting with four cottages on a property total of 11.25 acres with over 750 feet of lakefront.

This 4 season cottage “Grandview” is the largest of the four and lives up to its name! Facing south, a large deck runs the entire length of the cottage and around the back with picture-perfect views of the lake from every vantage point. The cottage is surrounded on three sides by water. There’s a Dock & Fire Pit, complete with seating
Inside this freshly renovated 3 bedroom space is everything one could want in a cottage retreat. Two new bathrooms both with showers, a new kitchen with full-size appliances for the discerning chef, a coffee maker (*coffee included) and a dishwasher.
The Primary bedroom has a King size bed. The two remaining bedrooms have queen size beds for a sleeping total of six. All fresh linens are provided (because who wants to start a vacation by making beds?) Bath towels are provided too! A/C and a gas fireplace as seasonally required.

Sun on the Brow also has a Boat House Retreat. This 900-square-foot common room has a pool table, table soccer, air hockey, games and books with a panoramic view over Lake Opinicon for those who want to curl up and take in natural pleasures. Great for rainy day activity or anytime.

Opinicon is a peaceful lake but amenities are all close by. Less than five minutes away is ‘Chaffey’s Lock’. Here you will find two marinas, Brown’s and Franklin’s. Brown’s has a small general store and an LCBO/Beer store outlet.
The Historic Opinicon Inn is the main attraction in Chaffey’s Lock. Three restaurants with indoor and outdoor dining, an ice cream shop and 10 acres of beautiful grounds are features of this recently refurbished and renovated charming Inn.
For Hikers and nature lovers, the Cataraqui Trail passes through Chaffey’s Lock on the north side of Opinicon Lake. For the more experienced hikers, we have Foley Mountain in Westport.
Numerous golf courses are within 20 minutes to get your swing on!
Shopping and strolling in the lovely quaint waterfront villages of Newboro and Westport are also less than twenty minutes away with stores and restaurants and even a wonderful winery that has delicious wood-fired pizza!

There is plenty of room for your boat at Sun on the Brow, (if you have one- boat launching at Chaffey’s lock). We also have 3 small fishing boats for rent (boating and fishing licenses required).
We have added a Kayak Shack, it is home to our 7 Kayaks, 2 Paddle boards, Canoe and the Adult Lifejackets. The water is crystal clear and warm as Opinicon is not a very deep lake. Water shoes are recommended as the lake bottom is not sand. True to the Rideau Lakes area, Opinicon Lake is weedy.

It is our sincere hope that you will fall in love with this little peace of heaven as we have and that cottaging at ‘Sun on the Brow’ will leave you with an experience that you will want to repeat year after year.

Sincerely,
Your Hosts,
Bill and Kim

Grandview is all that you would wish for and more! Everything spic and span, little touches, lots of space. Thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking, and the peace and quiet. A little piece of paradise! This was our third family visit.

Beautiful lakefront. Cottage is well appointed with lots of nice little touches. Loons calling, geese flocking for the trip south. Saw a group of 4 otters playing every day. Very relaxing trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Grandview Cottage. Kim and Bill were the perfect hosts! The cottage was spacious, clean and well kept. It had a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of dining spaces inside and out. The views from the wrap-around deck were amazing and the dock was the perfect spot for a cup of coffee in the morning.
