Beautiful property

Very nice property. Lovely interior, very clean. Great fishing, but water is a little weedy for swimming.

Hi Scott, we enjoyed hosting you! Thank you for being so respectful of our Lakehouse. We hope you enjoyed some fishing and took the boats out. Rice Lake is a quiet lake best known for great fishing all year round. Ice fishing huts become the norm in the winter once the lake freezes. The weeds do tend to creep up and we have our maintenance crew clear them up regularly. Sorry you didn’t let us know, we would have had our guys out to clear them for you so you could enjoy the water more. Kind Regards

Fantastic cottage and location

This cottage exceeded our expectations. Michael was a fantastic host and made sure everything was perfect. We will be staying there again. My only criticism which has nothing to do with the cottage is that the lake has too much algae (we were told this was an anomaly). Location is superb and so relaxing.

Cottage experience

Great cottage, lots of room, good amenities / canoes, kayak, lily pad for the lake. Lake has a lot of weeds.

Hi Carrie, Thank you for staying at our cottage and for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the water toys: kayak, canoe, pedal boat and water pad, and you also appreciated how spacious the cottage is. Yes, Rice Lake is well known for being one of the best lakes for fishing. We even have fishing rods for your use and we noticed you left bait behind. We’re happy you enjoyed the fishing too. It also makes for a safe and quiet lake since there are few speed boats, respecting those that are fishing. Fishing is great all year round! There are fishing huts set up on the ice in the winter once the lake freezes and it is safe to do so. The lake is safe to walk on, skate, and often even drive on. In town there is even ice racing (dirt bikes with winter tires!). In the summer, depending on the current the weeds do get pulled in. We clear them up before arrivals and we encourage guests to let us know if the weeds creep up, so we can send out maintenance team to clear them so the water is cleared for your enjoyment. Thank you again, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.

Beautiful property and wonderful owners / property manager

We arrived at this cottage and were pleasantly surprised that the owners and property manager were present.   They were very kind in giving us a tour and letting us know about the surrounding area and activities.   The property manager Michael was very responsive with any questions we had which was very helpful prior to our stay and while we were there. The property has a beautiful view, is extremely clean, modern and has many room options available.  Some of the appreciated touches were board games and the variety of water activities for nice weather. The lake at the dock is not deep but has enough depth to still make it enjoyable.  One thing to be aware of is that there is a considerable amount of seaweed at the bottom of the water which can make it somewhat challenging to walk around in the lake. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would recommend this property.

Thank you very much Chad! We're very pleased to know you and your family enjoyed our cottage and the amenities. We strive to offer nothing short of the best possible. Vacations should always be experiential getaways with lasting memories. We're grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of your experience. You and your family were wonderful guests who treated and respected the property as your own. We would love for you to stay again. We are available year round and will be including an ice fishing hut this winter. We do have a maintenance person that rakes out the seaweed regularly. Rice Lake was once a wild rice bed in the early 1900s and because it is a shallow lake, usually after heavy rain, the seaweed does get pushed to the shoreline.

Exceptional Property

We stayed at this property over the Easter weekend to host a small family reunion (13 people), seven of us staying overnight. The living space was spacious with lovely views of the lake, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms with well sanitized linen and bathrooms. The main floor of the home was walker friendly, which was a bonus with our elderly parents. I would highly recommend it.

Great place

Other than the lake being really weedy this place is a 5+++++
Response from VrboOwner on 5 Aug, 2020
Thank you Melissa! It was a pleasure to have you and your family make our cottage your vacation destination. We look forward to having you come back again! We strive to provide a true 5 star stay in every way for our guests. The weeds in the lake is something what makes Rice Lake one of the top fishing destinations in Ontario. We are the only property in the area that has a maintenance person that goes in the water and rakes the weeds from our frontage of the lake. The weeds flow and drift in from north to south daily.

About the host

Hosted by Asif Khan

Host profile image

This is our home away from home. We enjoy the quietness of the waters. Primarily a fishing lake, we are not exposed to many high-speed motorized boats. We enjoy the quiet neighbourhood as well. It is on a serene street where we walk our dog, chat with the neighbours and the children can ride their bikes. There are trails minutes away for walking, running, cycling, dirt biking and snowmobiling. It is remote enough to feel like you are away from the buzzing of the city, without having to stress through endless hours of traffic, because we are so close to the city and many nearby city amenities.
We know you will also enjoy our home on the lake as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Modern, luxurious cottage on Rice Lake with picturesque views and the most beautiful sunsets. Nestled in a tranquil neighbourhood in the historic Township of Hamilton, Ont. The lake is home to bluegill, sunfish, yellow perch, walleye, bass & muskie...the best fishing lake in Ontario. Nearby golf courses are accessible to the general public, either as fully public or semi-private courses that offer public tee times. You can typically book tee times online or by contacting the pro shops directly. Boat launching marina 5 minute drive.

What makes this property unique

Less than an hour and a half away from Toronto, 1/2hr from The Big Apple in Cobourg, Ont., 1/2hr from Costco in Peterborough, 1hr from Prince Edward wine County, 3hrs from the Peace Bridge, 3 1/2hrs from Ottawa. Get away to the lake and find great nearby activity without having to deal with long hours in traffic!
