We had a wonderful week away from home in this bright, cozy and clean cabin supplied with everything we needed. A yellow canoe was available to explore the nooks and crannies along the shoreline of Big Rideau Lake and the resident critters - feathered, furry and aquatic A peaceful and fun stay. Villages and towns close by to explore. We will return! Thank you, Liz and Jane. Karen
My husband and I really enjoyed this little fishing cabin in the woods. It was just what we needed. There are beautiful trees and the fireflies put on an amazing lightshow for us every single evening for the entire week that we stayed there. We had everything we needed and all that is described in the listing.Liz and Robbie were very pleasant to meet and speak with and told us a quite a bit about the town. I would love to go and stay there again. Sue & Dan
Lovely spot in the woods. If you want a 5 star chalet this isnt it. What it is is clean, comfortable, well equipped cottage with a wonderful, resopnsive and friendly host!
Simple, clean and fully equipped cottage perfect for bass opening weekend on the Big Rideau. Tighter squeeze for our 19ft Nitro and Denali to turn around so best for smaller boats if you are bringing your own . Fans are great but no AC, just to know in case someone absolutely needs it. We would highly recommend for a couples get away .
This small cabin has your basic necessities and was just fine for my father and I on our last fishing trip of the year. I booked this location due to having a boat dock where I could keep my boat in the water. Unfortunately, late in the year they lower the water levels on the lake and our boat dock was not accessible due to the low water levels. Pretty much mud at dock with only 6" of water at the end where owners pontoon boat was docked. Any other type of fishing boat, including mine would not be able to use. Fortunately, having friends that live on the lake I was able to dock my boat elsewhere to leave in the water. On another note, the access to this cabin is on a private road with very tight lane. I do not think I would have been able to pull my full size truck with boat trailer to cabin and get turned around or trailer unhooked to park so be prepared to leave your boat trailer elsewhere if you intend to bring a boat with you. Overall, we had a very nice time staying at this cabin.
Quiet cabin by the lake. Everything you need is present in the cabin! Clean beds, pots and pans,more than enough towels, games, wood for the fireplace, a big frisse etc etc. We had a very pleasant stay.
Our family had a wonderful vacation. The cabin has everything you need and was very cozy. Also great fishing on the lake and lots of places to visit nearby will be back again. Thanks Liz and Jane for a great stay.
Great communication with the owners who were very responsive when the front door lock didn't work and who provided us with a functioning BBQ and helped us fix some TV service issues.Lovely people. The cottage is basic, with typical cottage quirks. No shower, ( a tub with handheld shower wand)and no swimming at the cottage. The mattresses were typical for cottages - one too firm and the other too soft. Bedrooms are small and hot.Fabulous quilts adorned the beds though. Lots of pots and pans. Great sharp knives.. Beware the oven runs 100 degrees hotter than what it's set at - I didn't see that note until the last day! The place would benefit from a good scrub - but it's a cottage ! The owners park their cars on the lot as they come and go to their personal cottage on a nearby island.. not at all an issue - they let us know by text when they planned to be on the property. We were there during a hot spell and the two bedroom fans ( also both a bit grimy) couldn't keep up. It was quite buggy outside, being surrounded by trees and a wetlands area out front - the owners did have some citronella candles and coils for us to use. Bring bug spray! There is a screened-in tent, but the bugs have managed to get in there, so we really didn't use it.
We tried fishing off the dock,and took the canoe out for a paddle. The neighbours are lovely. All in all, it was too long in a small hot cabin for us. I think that a shorter stay in cooler weather would have been great..
This is an outstanding cottage rental. A beautiful property that has everything one might want (and many things I did not know I needed but really appreciated). The owners were super quick to respond and extremely friendly. I highly recommend this place!!!
