About this house rental
Newly renovated House originally built in the 1800’s by the town Miller. Frenbrae has all of the charm with the must have upgrades. It features two completely renovated bathrooms and a beautifully renovated kitchen. The Dinning Room over looks the Locks and the table can seat 10 comfortably and has a Wine Fridge. The Dinning Room still has the original windows from the wrap around porch. Fernbrae was once owned by the Opinicon Inn at that time it was used as a B&B. The three bedrooms upstairs are spacious with a seating area, to curl up and read or just relax. The Main floor bedroom has a King Bed.
‘Fernbrae’ is a beautifully restored Centurion (Circa 1895) Nestled in a unique location in the tiny community of ‘Chaffey’s Lock’, part of the Unesco World Heritage - Rideau Canal. You constantly hear the beautiful sound of waterfalls as they are right in front of the property. The southern doors of the lock lead you directly to Opinicon lake and through to Sand lake and on as far as Kingston. The north doors take you on a short journey up the Canal and to Clear lake and beyond as far as Ottawa!
The Catarqui Trail; a multi use trail, runs through Chaffey’s Lock. One could literally walk, cycle, ski, snowmobile for hours as the trail goes for more than 100 miles!
It’s easy to lose yourself in the in the peaceful serenity of the Rideau Canal but shopping and dining etc are near by. You can walk to the Opinicon Inn, featuring two restaurants and an Ice Cream shop.
The Rideau Lakes Town of Westport, and village of Newboro are just a short drive away and offer several restaurants and ,unique to the area, stores to pass an afternoon or two. Westport even has a beautifully scenic winery that, as well as world class wine offers delicious wood fired Pizza right in the winery!
Cyclist, Motorcycle enthusiasts, sports car owners will love the winding twisty paved road that is the Opinicon road.
Boat rentals, canal tours, fantastic fishing are just some of the features of this area. But if just sitting back and enjoying the serenity of rushing water and peaceful surroundings is your thing then you could not pick a better place than Fernbrae ~Welcome~

Perfect cottage with lots of history. Quiet, clean and well organized. We rented a boat and ate lunch and dinner at the Opinicon resort. We were 4 adults and 3 kids, lots of space for all of us. Owners are wonderful and caring and made sure we had everything we needed.

We found Fernbrae Cottage to be a perfect get-away. It is situated next to Chaffey locks which provides an interesting diversion, but it is far enough away from it to have privacy from other sightseers who tend to walk in the other direction toward an excellent ice scream store and the restaurant/pub at the Opinicon resort.It is also located central to day trips to Westport, Smith Falls, Merrickville, Perth, Brockville, Cananoque, and Kingston.The deer sightings are an extra bonus.

We had a wonderful and relaxing week at this beautiful home. There was plenty of space for all 6 of us. The house is very nicely furnished and the kitchen had everything that we needed. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces and daily walks on the nearby trail. The hosts were lovely, very friendly and easy to contact.
