Our family really enjoyed our week at the cottage and hope to come back again. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed spending time in the boat house, playing disc golf, and sitting on our own dock. Kim and Bill were friendly and responsive hosts. It was a great setting to spend a relaxing family vacation and explore the best of the Rideau Lakes.

Amazing Stay

Sunset Cottage is a quiet sanctuary with peaceful views of the bay. It has everything you could possibly need in addition to an expansive deck and private fire pit. Kim and Bill are exceptional hosts. Our family will definitely be returning.

Stunning Cottage Retreat

Our stay was memorable. The cottages beautiful. Had opportunity to see these cottages prior to Kim and Mike taking over. The cottages are comfortable, well equipped while still retaining that cottage feel. Would return in a heartbeat!

Summer 2025

Excellent property, with modern, clean amenities and a wide variety of outdoor activities. The teens enjoyed the boathouse with the pool table and air hockey in the evening. Bill and Kim were very welcoming and quick to reply to our one minor question. We can’t wait to come back another time!

Can not say enough amazing things about Kim, Bill and their beautiful Sun on the Brow properties. Every cabin is curated with care and they are happy, attentive hosts. Looking for a quiet getaway by the water, family outdoor fun or just looking to enjoy the Elgin area, this is the place. Thank again for our third lovely getaway to your property, we will be back ;)

Guys Trip

As always a great place to stay. Huge thunder storm the first night. Power was out out for 2 days. Kimberly and crew went out of there way to connect generators and keep them running. Was 40 with the humidity. They were awesome.

A lovely cottage in Lake Opinicon. Several outdoor seating areas with lots of privacy and a well equipped kitchen. We did not use the loft bed, it's up quite a steep ladder. Comfy mattresses if a little on the soft side for me personally. There are kayaks and paddle boards for guests use which is fantastic as the lake is really beautiful to explore. Bill and Kim are lovely and super welcoming. Highly recommend.

Back again!

This was the second time we’ve stayed at sun on the brow cottages. The cottage was lovely before but now has a new kitchen and deck. We had a great week, out on the water everyday in the kayaks and on the paddle boards. The kids love the boathouse, the dog loves the field, it’s win win! Kim and Bill are great hosts. Can’t wait till we go back again!

Excellent spot for peace and tranquility

The Sunset on the Brow Cottage and stay was fantastic! We both have stressful jobs and needed some peace and quiet to just relax! This is the perfect location! My husband loved the fishing and canoeing, my 14 yr old loved the paddle board and my rest and relaxation was achieved just by sitting on the dock reading. Cottage was extremely clean and updated ! The hosts were very accommodating and friendly! Highly recommend this location and hosts ! You won’t be disappointed!

The Barlow's

My wife and I had a very relaxing stay at Sun on the Brow - Sunset cottage for our 5 day stay. We slept in and enjoyed the extreme quiet for this time, which is what we needed. The Games room was also a lot of fun as we enjoyed several rounds of air hockey during our time there. Excellent mini vacation with the only point I would say needs improving is access to the water from the dock. Thanks again, Kimberly and Bill, for a wonderful stay! Mark & Debra

Perfect in every way

Well appointed, everything supplied even coffee, sugar, oil, S’More Kits, kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, paddleboard, fire pits with wood, chairs, a dock for each cottage. Weeds in the water and no ladders on the docks when we were there to get in and out of the water. Beautiful grounds and views of the water and islands and wayerlillies. Peaceful and quiet.

Amazing lake, wildlife and property

My husband, young adult son, teen daughter, dog and I all enjoyed our 4 night stay tremendously. The activities in the boathouse were well used by us all and we loved sitting on the dock, kayaking as well as observing and hearing the wildlife. My son saw otters playing in front of the dock and while kayaking we saw loons up close. We heard coyotes in the distance a couple of nights which was amazing. The sunset cottage is quaint and comfortable. It is as described and newly renovated. Kim and Bill were always responsive and friendly with any questions we had. We enjoyed the welcome gifts of a little bottle of syrup, soap, and s’mores kit. My daughter claimed the loft area as her own and loved it. The master bedroom has a sliding door onto the back of the wrap around deck where we enjoyed relaxing and having coffee or snacks. We found the A/C unit very handy and effective the one day we used it. We chose this cottage partly because of the amenities such as the kayaks and boathouse activities. We were more than pleasantly surprised by the beauty of Lake Opinicon and the surrounding area. At Chaffey’s locks, a quick easy drive down the road, we enjoyed ice cream, pizza and sunset viewing of a bald eagle fishing and a blue heron taking off. The drive to Chaffey’s locks never disappointed as we usually saw a few deer grazing. Newboro and Westport are an easy drive away if you want to browse the shops.

This was an excellent place to stay. The location was great. The cottage was clean and newly renovated. All the tools needed to cook with were provided in the kitchen. Awesome sized deck. Docks for the boats were easy to access from both the water and cottage. Owners seemed to go out of there way to make a great week. Thanks
