Beautiful Remodelled Private Cottage on the Upper Rideau Lake

Rare find on the Rideau Canal and Rideau Lakes system! Newly updated, “Pat’s Place” had the same owner for over 35 years, but we recently purchased it and it is now available for you and your family/friends to enjoy. It has wonderful views of Upper Rideau Lake, with 43 stairs down to 189 feet of pristine deep waterfront. It is ideal for 4 people, but can accommodate up to 6 people.

This all season cottage has air-conditioning for those hot summer days and heating + a wood-burning stove for those cold winter nights.

Features include a newly modernized kitchen with stainless steel fridge and stove (sorry no dishwasher). Open concept kitchen/ dining/living room includes a TV (wifi is available for streaming your favourite movies) with comfortable seating and dining space for up to 6 people.

This 3 bedroom cottage has a master bedroom upstairs with a Queen bed and a wonderful view of the lake. The second bedroom is also upstairs with two twin beds and a charming forest view to the North. There is also a cozy main floor bedroom with a futon couch/double bed, that can be converted to a den.

The bathroom is on the main floor and has been fully updated with new walk-in shower and heated floors.

Linens and towels will be available for 6 guests. Make sure to bring your own beach towels, life jackets etc. for water activities.

There is abundant private, outdoor space around the cottage and your own private dock. Come enjoy the outdoors and the south west views over the Upper Rideau Lake.

Evenings can be enjoyed on the deck overlooking the lake or by the fire pit where all can enjoy roasting marshmallows and eating s’mores while enjoying the amazing views overlooking the lake.

There is a BBQ for your lunches and dinners available on the outdoor deck. Take the staircase down to a beautiful private dock for swimming or just to enjoy the seating area for a relaxing day on the water.

Enjoy the local area: Charming Westport is just 15 minutes away where you can enjoy restaurants, shops and ice cream.

Access to the historic World Heritage Site, Rideau Canal system, is at your vacation rental doorstep. Also several trails are readily available with walks through Foley Mountain area or an excursion to the local Winery.

This is the perfect spot for a family, couple, or small group to enjoy a cottage retreat vacation! It is also ideal for anyone wishing to “work from home” in a serene and private setting for a week or more.

In consideration of neighbours, there are no parties permitted and we also ask that music and outdoor noise be reduced in the evening. Local bylaws prohibit any noise that disturbs the peace and comfort of other cottagers.
