About this property

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

Welcome to **The Cove**, a cozy lakefront cottage on beautiful White Lake, just 45 minutes west of Ottawa and Kanata.

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, shallow bay, with water approximately 4–6 feet deep in the swimming area. The gradual, shallow water makes it 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
* Fully equipped kitchen
* BBQ
* Private fire pit
* Outdoor seating
* Lake views
* 2 bedrooms plus additional sleeping space

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, enjoy basketball, soccer, badminton, volleyball, ladder ball and other outdoor lawn games.

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 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, while winter activities in the area include snowmobiling, ice fishing when conditions permit, outdoor skating, and skiing or snowboarding at Mount Pakenham and Calabogie Peaks.

### Good to Know

Diamond Valley Cottage Rentals is a **shared 0.75-acre 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.**

During peak summer, rentals are generally **Friday-to-Friday weekly stays**. Shorter stays are available during other periods and may occasionally become available during summer.

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

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We have been welcoming guests to Diamond Valley Cottage Rentals on White Lake since 2010.

We live on the property year-round and enjoy sharing this beautiful part of the Ottawa Valley with our guests. We aim to provide a relaxed, comfortable cottage experience where families and couples can enjoy the lake, spend time outdoors and make great memories together.

We are nearby if something genuinely needs our attention, but otherwise we respect our guests' privacy and let them enjoy their vacation.

Why they chose this property

White Lake offers the peaceful feeling of a traditional Ontario cottage destination while still being conveniently close to Ottawa.

We love the lake, beautiful sunsets, fishing, boating and the relaxed pace of the area. The Cove sits in a calm bay that is wonderful for swimming and paddling, with access through the narrows to the larger lake for boating and fishing.

Arnprior and Renfrew are about 15 minutes away, while Ottawa and Kanata are approximately 45 minutes away, making White Lake an easy getaway without having to spend hours travelling.

What makes this property unique

The Cove combines a true waterfront cottage experience with plenty to do right on the property.

Guests can swim, fish from the dock, relax by the waterfront, or use the complimentary two kayaks, canoe and pedal boat. Life jackets are also provided. Each stay includes a private BBQ and private fire pit, and there are outdoor games including basketball, volleyball, badminton, soccer and lawn games.

The shallow bay is particularly enjoyable for families with children, while deeper water and excellent fishing are accessible through the narrows.

We also don't charge a cleaning fee. We simply ask guests to treat the cottage as they would their own, clean up after themselves and put their dishes away before leaving.
