We really enjoyed our stay and are making plans to return next year. We apreciated that the cottage is spacious inside and on a large lot with quiet neighbours right on Big Rideau Lake. The trampoline, kyacks and swimming platform were big hits with our family.

Our family of six adults and two teenage boys rented this cottage for 10 days in June. We were very lucky and had wonderful weather with warm days, and cool nights. One of our nights was quite warm and the ceiling fans came in very handy. The water was cool for swimming when we first arrived but was great later in the week. Having all the kayaks, paddle boards and row boat was fantastic. We used both the small beach area to wade in and the dock and raft while swimming. There were so many water and lawn toys that we were outdoors playing a lot. The trampoline was well used!!! And of course we had s'mores cooked on the evening campfire. There was lots of wildlife, deer, birds and bunnies, and the wonderful sound of the loons in the evening. The several outdoor decks, including one on the waters edge were well used. Indoors the cottage was very well equipped in all ways. The kitchen had everything we needed for large family meals. The layout with several sitting areas meant that there were places to gather and corners to have a quiet getaway if needed. We used all the bedrooms, and having the one large family room with three beds was helpful. There are only two showers, but we managed well with them. The cottage consists of an old rustic cabin and modern addition, and they worked well together, with both a cozy comfy feeling and a bright airy area. Sunrise in the morning was delightful on the front deck. It is situated on a beautiful stretch of the Big Rideau Lake with wonderful bays and islands to explore. We also explored both Perth and Smiths Fallls, and had a wonderful time. When we were leaving, my daughter simply said, "Can we book this place again?" To me that's a great review! Very pleased with our stay here.

We had a very pleasant weekend. The cottage was well equipped and very very clean. We enjoyed kayaking, the trampoline, swimming, BBQing and campfires.

This was a great property for visiting with family and enjoying the water. We really appreciated the availibility of paddleboards and kayaks.

This cottage is perfect. It has everything you need. We literally kept on finding things in the kitchen and were surprised that EVERYTHING was available! The cottage has a lot of character and we absolutely loved it. It has been in the family for a long time and you can feel the love and life in every single thing inside. The outside area is amazing. Huge yard with grass for kids to run around, and a trampoline that was a big hit with our 3 kids. The owner was great and provided all the information and was very easy to communicate. We recommend this cottage to everyone who wants to have a fantastic time away from home! Thank you Cathy, we can't wait to go back.

Amazing little gem on the lakeside. Great neighbors and amazing waterfront property!
