Bay View- on Benson Lake on the Rideau Canal

Just spent GREAT rain free week @ Bay View! Aug 2024. Cottage was perfect and had everything we needed. Housekeepers do a great job and everything was well maintained. Robin went above and beyond to help us navigate the bay with his pontoon boat which always makes the vacation special. Thanks Robin..will be sure to look you up when we plan our next Canadian vacation...

Mr. & Mrs.

Loved the location. Several deer greeted us as we entered the peninsula. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, with little noise from passing boaters as it is in a secluded part of Benson Lake. The view from the cottage is canopy of trees, with a view of the lake and dock about 40 yards away.

It is a great area for kayaking and fishing.  We easily explored parts Benson, Mosquito and Indian Lake.  Clear Lake is a bit more of a paddle, but worth it if you'd like to explore the diving rocks. 

Swimming off the dock is not possible as it is shallow and covered with water lillies. A few swimming spots were accessible on nearby islands, using our kayaks and canoe.

The cottage itself is well equipped, well designed, comfortable and has a gorgeous main living area with a magnificent view.

Kayaker and Fisherman Paradise

The entire family had a great vacation and we have been waiting 3 years to come back to fish on Benson Lake.    The Sunsets, Loons, Deer, Osprey, Frogs, Lilly Pads and Bass Fishing are exceptional.  Although the weather was hot and humid during our week, it didn't effect the good fishing.   The  Cabin is in a perfect secluded area offering solitude.  We rented a Pontoon Boat from Rideau Cruiser #1 Boat Rental and it was at our dock when we arrived.  The Pontoon Boat was in great condition and was well equipped.  Thanks for a great week.

What a wonderful cottage in an excellent location.  we had a great vacation, lots of wildlife, fantastic fishing.  We have been coming to the Rideau for 35 years and staying at Bayview was by far our most comfortable vacation.

Wonderful cottage

What a wonderful treat to stay at Bayview through Rideau Lake Cottages.  The booking process and communication was nice and easy.  The cottage was spacious and wonderful.  Our little one loved hearing frog and bird sounds for the first time in harmony. He loved finding all the fish in the cottage and his favorite was the sea turtle in the illustration poster upstairs. So lovely taking little walks to the dock and seeing the water shimmer and breathing the fresh air.  We think we even saw a swan! It was a perfect relaxing getaway from the city for our anniversary and we will definitely stay again.
