About this property

Comfortable family cottage on Big Rideau Lake

Comfortable, climate controlled cottage with a spacious deck on 2 sides. Lots of lawn for family games or relaxing on in one of the adirondack chairs. Our guests love the gentle-sloping water front for swimming, and the long dock has ample space to hook your boat to.

We always enjoy the opportunity to meet our guests if they wish to. It was a blessing o meet Norm and his fishing pal when they were there. They left the cottage in the same condition as they received it. Great guys to rent to!

We had an incredible time. My sons probably spent more time in the kayaks than in the cottage.
