Super fun time! Games room & Arcade game was a real hit with all ages, outdoor fire pit, local trails to hike, and lots of room to spread out in. Beautiful sunroom for sitting and reading in and lots of room to play games, do crafts, and eat together. Thank you for a lovely stay!!!

We rented this cottage in early October and the beauty of the location really stood out. We were 4 families together, and this place had enough rooms and bathrooms for everyone, which helps maintain privacy and gives you a space to go to if you need a quiet break. We loved the porches, the fire pit and the games room was a complete hit with the teens. The host was quick to respond to any notes sent. The hot tub was amazing during the day and evening. Overall we loved this clean, bright cottage in a location close to Ottawa.

We had a fantastic stay! The cottage was everything we hoped for — comfortable, well-kept, and a great spot to unwind. Our only small wish was that the water off the dock had been swimmable, but it didn’t take away from a wonderful trip. We’d happily come back!

What a beautiful spot and a rare gem with a huge games room. We had a great time staying on big Rideau, we had three families staying together with 4 kids aged 5-14, we just wished we had booked it for longer. The house is beautiful and very nicely appointed, tons of activities for the kids, they had a blast with the games room, the arcade and the pool. Everything is setup to accommodate large gatherings and the host is quick to communicate and support. Bonus amenities are the beautiful trails at the nearby conservation area and there is a boat launch not far away in Portland (although there is a small launch at the property that could accommodate shallow draft boats.).

The response to my questions and concerns were answered promptly. Kyla was most agreeable to our requests.We were a large group, multigenerational, and there was plenty of activities for all with lots of space.Mattress in Queen bedroom [adjacent to the king room], was uncomfortable and not up to the standard of the other mattresses.Overall we had a wonderful weekend!!Thank you.L.

A group of friends and I stayed at the cottage. Some friends have young kids and this cottage was perfect for them. The host was nice, responsive and very informative. The place was very spacious, clean and everything was as advertised. The 4 full bathrooms were very nice and needed for the multiple families, the games room and the projector were a hit with the kids as well as the adults (the huge collection of DVDs/Blu-rays was a nice bonus), the hot tub was a great feature, and the solarium was a good place for the adults to spend some time reading while the kids played.

Unforgettable team retreat on a gorgeous lake!The location, views, and property were all incredible! We hosted our team building weekend here and it was truly one to remember. We had a blast using the kayaks, paddleboards, and small boat to get out on the water, and everyone loved hanging out in the game room and relaxing in the hot tub.A few minor things that could make a stay here even better: having extra towels readily accessible for guest use, and giving a few areas a deeper clean—specifically clearing out spiderwebs around the front entrance and windows, and giving the inside of the BBQ a good scrub. We also couldn't get the projector working during our stay.That said, we had a wonderful, memorable weekend and overall really enjoyed our time at the cottage!

Everything was as advertised and we were very happy during our 3 day stay.The kitchen was very well equipped and even had a lot of the basic necessities like sugar and coffee and tea.The movie library was amazing but it was difficult to figure out how to work the DVD player and the screen. Simple instructions would have been a good help.

We had a fabulous time. This trip was planned for nearly a year and we were so blessed to find this amazing property. It was perfect for our large group. The fishing on the lake was amazing. The large dock accommodated all our boats (5). Hosts were very good at communication. Also, we ended up needing more sleeping room turns out just down the road less than a quarter of a mile on the other rental platform there is a tiny house. Slept an additional 4. Highly recommend this property.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your long-awaited trip was everything you hoped for and that our property was a great fit for your group. It’s great to know everyone enjoyed the fishing, and that the dock comfortably accommodated all five of your boats. We also appreciate your kind words about our communication—we always want our guests to feel well taken care of. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back for another lakeside getaway in the future!

The place was fantastic! Even nicer than the pictures. We had a great time and would definitely stay again. A hot tub/sauna is going in which took up some yard space, and wasn't ready yet, but I am sure it will be even nicer when finished.

A lovely thanksgiving!

With 9 adults and 4 kids under 4 it was going to be a tight squeeze, but this property has plenty of room, plenty to do, and plenty of storage for all that food! We had a wonderful time exploring the area close by (wonderful coffee shop, Recess, gorgeous lake walks, and lots of local goodies!), taking the kayaks out on the lake, playing arcade games, and definitely not fighting over the massage chair.

We were a large party of 15. There was ample room that no one got in anyone’s way. Soooo much for everyone to be entertained. Can’t swim off the dock but the use of kayaks etc was amazing. Game room was a hit as was the hot tub. Massage chair was amazing. Property was large and beautiful. Private spot so we didn’t need to be afraid that we were too noisy. Plenty of essentials provided for cooking. Very responsive host.

Awesome property

Awesome property, lots of privacy(no close neighbors. Beautiful home, not a cottage, with lots of activities to do, we went during the winter time so can’t wait to try it out during the summer days, and enjoy the waterfront! Pictures are nice but I do agree that it’s even better in person! Maybe the only negative comment that I have is that, there’s missing a few items for the kitchen cooking(salt and pepper comes to mind) and that we couldn’t use the swim spa, but I should’ve asked first if it was open during winter use 👍🏻👍🏻. 👌👌

Beautiful Property

The property is as described, it worked really well for our family gathering. We had ages 3 to 50 and offered something for everyone. The property is well thought out and we were not on top of each other- lots and lots of space and situated in a very quiet location. The communication was great, we had a few glitches but the owner was very prompt. Definitely, something other families should consider next time looking to rent for a family/friend gathering. My rating for cleanliness was lower because of the cleaning service, not reflective on the property owner and the property management was prompt in their response- did not impact quality of stay.

The cottage was very nice spacious and certainly met the needs of our family of 10. The grounds however need some attention. We were vacationing with 4 young children and found the grounds very untidy areas of long grass, nothing trimmed around the play ground equipment and a heavy layer of old pine needles on the trampoline which we cleaned off so it could be used. The garbage from previous visitors had not been removed. We were told it would be dealt with ,however we eventually moved all the bins to the garage on the other side of the driveway so hopefully get rid of the terrible odor of it. It was never disposed of during our stay.The hot tub was not working when we arrived and after sending a couple emails we were able to get it working on the 3rd day. The dock was an extreme disappointment as it is in poor shape. Broken and missing boards. One area in particular is leaning and almost at the water level. Totally not safe for children. We feel we were very over charged for premium cottage experience and it just did not measure up.

Thank you so much for your feedback, and we’re glad to hear that the cottage met the needs of your family. We truly appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention, as they help us improve the experience for future guests. First, we want to sincerely thank you for pointing out the issues with the dock. We have already replaced the damaged boards, and we are continuing to monitor the condition of the dock to ensure safety for everyone. Your feedback helped us address this promptly. We also want to apologize for the state of the grounds during your stay. The excessive garbage left by previous guests was an unfortunate situation, and despite our best efforts to arrange an additional pickup, it was not handled in time. We appreciate your understanding and for moving the bins to the garage. We’ve notified the grounds keeper about the long grass, the trimming around the playground, and the pine needles on the trampoline, so this should be addressed going forward. Regarding the hot tub, we’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with the LCD screen. We’re glad that the issue was resolved quickly and that it didn’t affect your ability to enjoy the hot tub. Thank you again for your feedback and for being understanding of these situations. We always strive to provide a top-tier experience, and we will continue to improve based on the suggestions you’ve provided. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your family back in the future. Warm regards
