About this property
Charming cottage on Upper Rideau Lake near Westport, ON
Welcome cottagers! Good news-the access road, Rustic Lane, has been repaired ensuring user-friendly, easy access from the main road to the lakeside cottage.
Read on for a fuller description of this idyllic setting.
This cottage is lovingly cared for and beautifully situated 50' from the lake atop a tree-covered hill with a breathtaking view. The cottage has a rustic feel, features lots of pine, wood floors, knotty pine interior, handcrafted cabinetry, and a small kitchen area with brand new appliances. An attached deck runs the full length of the cottage and offers a perfect place to sit, read, converse, play cards, meditate, dote on the lake, eat at the picnic table, bird-watch (3 generations of a Great Blue Heron family flying in and out of the bay, standing in the shallows picking off fish with their long beaks has warmed our hearts for decades) not to mention our resident loons, humming birds, finches, woodpeckers, etc.. And of course you can hang out at the lakeside, sit on the dock, fish, swim, sunbathe, and observe nature in all its glory. There's 1 bathroom with a shower and 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed. Of the 2 remaining bedrooms, one has 1 single bed, and the other has 2 single beds. Guests are asked to bring their own linens. The property abuts the Rideau Trail, which is a Provincial treasure and offers excellent hiking options.
Running water in bathroom and kitchen is lake water pumped up from the lake, not potable, but fine for washing dishes and yourselves. Guests need to bring drinking water -water for tea, coffee, washing vegetables, cooking, etc..
No smoking, no pets.
