The cottage is very nice, clean and well kept. The grounds are spacious, with a nice interlock stone patio to sit at while overlooking the Ottawa River. Enjoyed using the canoe and kayaks provided although the water level was low while we were there so had to walk out further past the reeds to get into open water.Quiet and peaceful location. Julie is a super host, friendly and very quick to address any concerns or questions we had.Hoping to return again.

Id advise to bring your own pans. Only 2 pans, one small one large, and your own utensils as almost everything was plastic. Everything has been visibly painted over white throughout the entire house for a more "modern" look it kind of looks like the "landlord special". Being said, everything was very clean and worked perfectly. The property is very beautiful over looking the water which is all sand.

Amazing host. I couldn't have asked for better. So friendly, so accommodating. It felt like I was staying at my aunts house and she was doing everything she could to make us comfortable. Julie knew we were bringing kids and left us a stores kit and colouring books/ crayons. The cottage is very clean and accomodated us well. Enough beds for everyone. The property is stunning and well kept. We could walk around barefoots and not worry. So quiet and private. The water is shallow and great for kids( I did not feel stressed letting them swim)The rocks surrounding were a blast for the kids to play on aswell.We will be back! Thank you Julie.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review! ❤️ It truly means the world to me to hear that you felt so comfortable and cared for during your stay. I absolutely loved welcoming your family and was so happy to add a few little touches for the kids — seeing them enjoy the cottage and property is exactly what makes hosting so special. I’m especially glad you enjoyed how peaceful, private, and beautifully kept the property is, and that the shallow water and surrounding rocks gave the kids such a fun place to explore and play. It’s wonderful to know you could relax and enjoy the water with them without feeling stressed. It was such a pleasure having you as guests, and I would be thrilled to welcome you all back anytime. Consider this your aunt’s cottage away from home! 😊❤️ Thank you again for choosing our little piece of paradise. We’ll be looking forward to your next visit!
