The Summer Cottage

THE SUMMER COTTAGE

​

The summer cottage is one of 2 cottages on the same property about 80 feet apart. It has 2 spacious bedrooms that accommodates up-to 8 guests with 2 full bathrooms.
The screened-in porch across the front of the cottage provides a comfortable vantage point to view the beauty of the lake. The outdoor space includes a private playground for your exclusive use as well as your very own BBQ on deck with one full tank of propane (refills available at a charge), picnic benches, outdoor seating complete with a fire pit for roasting marshmallows.

This summer house cottage provides an idyllic stop over for boaters traveling through the Rideau Canal, a family vacation on an annual fishing trip or a couple looking for a romantic outdoor getaway and a dock for lake swimming. It is a great way to relax and soak up the sun.

 

The space
Gorgeous sunsets at dusk just from this cottage deck is something extraordinary. The quiet and relaxing atmosphere is something everyone should experience. There is a little bit of everything for everyone. Breath taking view and to relax outdoors overlooking the Upper Rideau lake is absolutely something everyone will enjoy. Access to the dock is about a 3 min walk down the stair way.
