Guests will need to bring their own sheets, bathroom towels and kitchen towels from home.

You'll have the entire cottage and surrounding property to yourself. The neighbors on either side are rarely at their cottages, and the properties are separated by large yards.

I am easily accessible by phone, text or email if you need anything, but otherwise will leave you to yourself.

During peak season (mid-June through Labour Day) only full week rentals are accepted, and rental week is Saturday to Saturday. Weekends and shorter stays are accepted in May, early June, September and October. Cottage is closed (unavailable) November through April.

This is not just a rental property, it is our family's own summer retreat. It is clean, well-maintained, and comfortably furnished. We ask that you please treat it with the same respect as you would staying in the home of a friend, and leave it in a good condition for others to enjoy.

Pets are allowed for an additional fee of $100.00 (subject to breed and weight restrictions)
*Note that there is a raised patio that some may find unsuitable for toddlers and young children. There are also steps to the dock that may not be ideal for the elderly or those with mobility issues. If you have any questions about these, please send me a note and I will happily provide more details.

About the host

Hosted by ERIKA DIETZ

Host profile image
Erika's grandparents started bringing their family to the Upper Rideau in the early 1960's to enjoy the fantastic fishing. After several years of staying at nearby rental cottages, they bought the land this cottage sits on in 1965. For the first several years, the family camped on the land as they slowly built the cottage themselves, summer-by-summer. Erika's first 2 summers here were spent in a tent.
Every year since 1965 (with the exception of 2020, when Covid restrictions made it impossible), one or more generations of our family has spent time at this property. It gives us great pleasure to know that other families are creating their own memories here.
