About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Just a fishing cabin in the woods...

But it is on a quiet point on beautiful Big Rideau Lake, part of the historic Rideau Canal system, where the fishing runs 24/7! Insulated, cozy, lots of space for kids to play. Dock space for one boat, and a canoe included. This is a paddler's paradise, and a true nature-lover's getaway. Two bedrooms, bathroom with tub. On a quiet cottage road 5 minutes to Portland, and just an hour's drive to Kingston or Ottawa. Pet friendly.

Fall getaway
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.

Beautiful place
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!

Quiet relaxing little spot
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

Relaxing Anniversary Vacation
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!
