It was so nice to hear the loons at night. Cottage was very comfy and close to store as needed - we all had a very restful time

Our family had a wonderful vacation. The cabin has everything you need and was very cozy. Also great fishing on the lake and lots of places to visit nearby will be back again. Thanks Liz and Jane for a great stay.

Great communication with the owners who were very responsive when the front door lock didn't work and who provided us with a functioning BBQ and helped us fix some TV service issues.Lovely people. The cottage is basic, with typical cottage quirks. No shower, ( a tub with handheld shower wand)and no swimming at the cottage. The mattresses were typical for cottages - one too firm and the other too soft. Bedrooms are small and hot.Fabulous quilts adorned the beds though. Lots of pots and pans. Great sharp knives.. Beware the oven runs 100 degrees hotter than what it's set at - I didn't see that note until the last day! The place would benefit from a good scrub - but it's a cottage ! The owners park their cars on the lot as they come and go to their personal cottage on a nearby island.. not at all an issue - they let us know by text when they planned to be on the property. We were there during a hot spell and the two bedroom fans ( also both a bit grimy) couldn't keep up. It was quite buggy outside, being surrounded by trees and a wetlands area out front - the owners did have some citronella candles and coils for us to use. Bring bug spray! There is a screened-in tent, but the bugs have managed to get in there, so we really didn't use it. We tried fishing off the dock,and took the canoe out for a paddle. The neighbours are lovely. All in all, it was too long in a small hot cabin for us. I think that a shorter stay in cooler weather would have been great..

This is an outstanding cottage rental. A beautiful property that has everything one might want (and many things I did not know I needed but really appreciated). The owners were super quick to respond and extremely friendly. I highly recommend this place!!!

We had a great time staying at this cozy fishing cottage, the kids both caught fish for the first time, some of which were big enough to fry over the outdoor fire and eat! Great spot for kids to fish off the dock, the fish were very active. There was plenty of firewood and the house was well stocked with pots and pans etc. There are loons, turtles, otters and other friendly creatures, a real nature spot. Highly recommend for the serenity and a very comfortable cottage. We will absolutely consider staying here again. While swimming isn't on the cards off the dock because of the nature of those wetlands, there is a great little swimming beach in town a few minutes drive from the cottage, a great plus which the kids enjoyed a lot.

It was my sister and I that stayed at the cottage for a week at the end of September. The cottage was small and cozy, which is what we like. We had a beautiful week of great weather and we loved the fact that the cottage was on a wetland. We like to swim if we can, but we enjoyed the water fowl very much. Geese and ducks and even herons. It was a very pretty spot. We arrived a little early and the owner was still there and it was very nice to meet her. A great stay all around. Judy.

What a cosy, comfortable place! We enjoyed the lake, the cottage, and the surrounding area to explore. The cottage is a real "home away from home". Details in the cottage give the impression of someone taking the time and thought to make you feel 'at home'. Thank you for a wonderful place! We hope to be back! Thank you Liz and Jane!

We loved our stay! The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for our trip away. Morning visits from the hummingbirds and the evening visits from the bats were really cool to see. If you're planning on doing any real fishing you’ll want to bring your own boat however, although my 3yr old daughter did reel in her first fish! Ask about the shared swimming spot too. I found that info out from the neighbor but not until our last night. Great spot to get away

We had a lovely time and the cabin has everything that one needs. The only thing we missed were some fishing rods. But besides that we enjoyed sitting on the dock, canoeing , sitting around the camp fire and being surrounded by nature. Thank you for this amazing experience, Jane and Elizabeth.

This quaint property on Rideau Lake was the perfect choice for our 20 year anniversary getaway. My husband is an avid fisherman and the lake was more than accomodating. It's not a swimming area but there are close beaches for a dip in the water. Friendly locals, fun close shopping, great Poutine - a memorable stay, made even better by the hosts who gifted us with wine and cheese at our arrival. Excellent value with the private yard, deck, and lake access. And our lab was welcome too!

Everything was so easy from finding this getaway on the water to walking in the door of the cottage . Lots of windows to let the sunshine in. Beds were so comfy. The lake was wonderful to sit by in the early morning with a cup of coffee or at sundown with a wine.

We were so very impressed by everything, from the cleanliness of the cottage, to its location! It was so peaceful and we loved the choices of seating, as we had different views depending on where we positioned the chairs. (Water, deck, backyard). We will definitely be back next year!

This was our second summer at this little cabin and it was as lovely as before. The property is clean, well maintained, and the kitchen has everything you need to cook great meals. There are games and videos. Internet reception is hit and miss but fine for important phone calls. The host family are wonderful and are easily contacted. It can be buggy at night but there might also be a spectacular firefly show too. We will be back.

The property was as described; cozy cabin, 2 docks (not great for swimming), deck and yard were nice. Overall it was a great experience. Downside was unannounced visits by owners due to the property being the only land access to their island cottage. Upon booking, tenants should be made aware that landlord may access dock during their stay and subsequently notified of when. Liz was very responsive to our requests and we hope to rent again.

Everything you needed was available and we were pleasantly greeted with a fresh bouquet of peonies from the garden. Jane and Elizabeth helped us sort out our technology issues upon arrival and were very kind and patient until all was well. We loved sitting on the dock and fishing during the day to pass the time and relax. Nice way to start the summer!

Lovely Place

Lovely Place

Just the place for a quiet getaway in nature. Really large private yard with firepit and bug tent, as well as large patio. Great for adult getaway or with kids. Beautiful walk in tall trees on the road that the cottage is on, and tons of things to see nearby (don't miss Jones falls). My wife espdcially liked the fully equiped full kitchen. Did not get out on the watercraft but dock and lake are beautiful. As others mentioned, like most Canadian Shield lakes, the botton is silty and not sand, but there is a small beach in mearby Portland. Also basic food shopping abd LCBO there. Satellite TV, DVD player and CD boom box if you get rain like we did. Would definately book there again.

Cozy, perfect, well equipped oasis 1 hour from ottawa.

We actually packed too much stuff! This charmingly cute cottage has everything you need! Beautiful water access, fire pit, firewood included, bbq, board games & cards, books..... comfy beds.... I also caught the biggest bass of my career on this awesome lake=) As others have noted, you can't swim right off the dock, but we didnt really miss it since there's so much else to do; like excursions into portland and westport. Plus the water in sept was a little chilly;)
