White Lake Waterfront Cottage | Kayaks, Canoe + Beach | 45 Min from Ottawa

Welcome to The Cove, a cozy lakefront cottage on beautiful White Lake in the Ottawa Valley, about 40 minutes from Kanata and 55 minutes from downtown Ottawa.

Spend your days swimming, paddling, fishing, relaxing by the water and enjoying evenings around your own private fire pit. The Cove is an easy Ottawa Valley getaway for couples and families looking for a traditional cottage experience without a long drive from the city.

The Waterfront

The cottage sits on the north end of White Lake in a calm bay with a gradual, shallow shoreline that's especially enjoyable for families with children.

Guests have access to our waterfront and beach area, dock and complimentary watercraft:

• 2 kayaks
• Canoe
• Pedal boat
• Life jackets

Bring your fishing gear — White Lake offers excellent fishing, with deeper water easily accessible through the narrows.

The Cottage

The Cove sleeps up to 7 guests and includes:

• Wi-Fi
• Air conditioning
• Fully equipped kitchen
• BBQ
• Private fire pit
• Outdoor seating
• Lake views
• Bed linens and towels
• Queen bed in the primary bedroom
• Double/single bunk bed in the second bedroom
• Pull-out sofa in the living room

There is no cleaning fee. We simply ask guests to leave the cottage tidy, clean up after themselves and put away their dishes before departure.

More Than Just the Lake

When you're ready for a break from the water, there are outdoor games and space to relax and play around the property.

Nearby attractions include Waba Museum & Gardens, White Lake Park, Burnstown Beach and the public boat launch.

Restaurants, a convenience store, LCBO, gas, parks and beaches are only minutes away. Arnprior and Renfrew are approximately 15–20 minutes away for groceries, shopping and additional amenities.

A Four-Season Getaway

White Lake isn't just for summer. Fall brings beautiful colours and quiet evenings by the fire. In winter, enjoy ice fishing when conditions permit, outdoor skating, and skiing or snowboarding at Mount Pakenham and Calabogie Peaks. A snowmobile trail runs directly past the property and across White Lake.

Good to Know

Diamond Valley Cottage Rentals is a shared lakefront property with three separate homes. The Cove is its own cottage, with its own BBQ and private fire pit. The waterfront, beach, dock and recreational amenities are shared.

The owners live on the property year-round, and another family residence is also located on the property. We respect our guests' privacy while maintaining a quiet, family-oriented environment.

No parties or events.

Come enjoy swimming, paddling, fishing, campfires and beautiful White Lake sunsets at The Cove.
