About this property

Just a fishing cabin in the woods...

But it is on a quiet point on beautiful Big Rideau Lake, part of the historic Rideau Canal system, where the fishing runs 24/7! Insulated, cozy, lots of space for kids to play. Dock space for one boat, and a canoe included. This is a paddler's paradise, and a true nature-lover's getaway. Two bedrooms, bathroom with tub. On a quiet cottage road 5 minutes to Portland, and just an hour's drive to Kingston or Ottawa. Pet friendly.

Great Fishing Cottage

We had a great time staying at this cozy fishing cottage, the kids both caught fish for the first time, some of which were big enough to fry over the outdoor fire and eat! Great spot for kids to fish off the dock, the fish were very active. There was plenty of firewood and the house was well stocked with pots and pans etc. There are loons, turtles, otters and other friendly creatures, a real nature spot. Highly recommend for the serenity and a very comfortable cottage. We will absolutely consider staying here again. While swimming isn't on the cards off the dock because of the nature of those wetlands, there is a great little swimming beach in town a few minutes drive from the cottage, a great plus which the kids enjoyed a lot.

A relaxing few days during our road trip

We had a lovely time and the cabin has everything that one needs. The only thing we missed were some fishing rods. But besides that we enjoyed sitting on the dock, canoeing , sitting around the camp fire and being surrounded by nature. Thank you for this amazing experience, Jane and Elizabeth.

Cozy Fishing Cabin in the Woods

A comfortable and cozy cottage. Lots of light in the interior and the back deck is more spacious then you might expected from photos. Well appointed kitchen and nice new BBQ. Great area for exploring, especially if you like history and the outdoors.

Relaxing getaway

We were so very impressed by everything, from the cleanliness of the cottage, to its location! It was so peaceful and we loved the choices of seating, as we had different views depending on where we positioned the chairs. (Water, deck, backyard). We will definitely be back next year!
