We always enjoy the opportunity to meet our guests if they wish to. It was a blessing o meet Norm and his fishing pal when they were there. They left the cottage in the same condition as they received it. Great guys to rent to!

We had an incredible time. My sons probably spent more time in the kayaks than in the cottage.

Big Rideau was the lowest I've ever seen it. Hosts made sure that the dock was setup to accommodate my boat; very much appreciated.The cottage is very accessible, comfortable and it was perfect for us. Hosts are pleasant and make sure that you have everything you need for an enjoyable stay.
