Rideau Pines | Waterfront Cottage on Big Rideau Lake

We absolutely loved this house. It was amazing. We loved that we could have our dog with us in the yard. The deck was amazing as we ate lunch out there a few times. It was very relaxing just what we needed. We found a few great fishing spots as well. We hope to return again next year.

Amazing Vacation Spot

Our cottage stay was wonderful. The space was clean, and extremely well equipped with pillows, blankets, good quality kitchen items, and lots of thoughtful touches. I packed a lot of extra things "just in case" that I did not need. The bunk house was perfect for the one night we had an extra guest, and also very well appointed.

The outdoor space and water view are fantastic. We used the large deck, BBQ, fire pit, and the screened in porch a lot. And reliable high speed internet made working remotely easy.

The location is great, not far to Westport for a walk around and shopping. Also recommend going to Recess Cafe, a very short drive away. The coffee and food were great, if you're looking for an outing.

Thank you for a fantastic stay! Would love to come back.

Relaxing and Scenic Cottage - Clean and Well Equipped

Great time at Rideau Pines. Group of 8 (3 boats) on fishing trip. Pros - docking, proximity to public launch, parking, big property, bunkie, great room/kitchen space, deck, sun room. Cons - 1 modest washroom, no AC, not great for dock swimming. Thanks Robin - we hope to be back!

Fishing Trip

Really nice cottage. Nice property, lovely view out over southern Big Rideau. Great location- walk into Portland, easy drive to Westport, Smith's Falls. Lake great for kayaking (2 provided), easy walk to dock, kayak launching. Sept, cold nights, heaters greatly appreciated (wood fir available, though didn't need to use it. Lovely great room- 2 families, yet still enough room. Bunkie really nice- allowed younger members some privacy 
Why not 5*? 
1. Only 1 bath (as noted in advert) though there is the outhouse in case of emergencies. Did require a schedule (2 families)
2. Lovely, but somewhat shallow bay. Water lilies, really nice for kayaking . canoes, not so much for swimming. Found meant taking paddleboards (supplied) out into deeper water for unencumbered swimming
At same time, 5* would also have 5* costs, whereas as this was more than  reasonable
Otherwise a really nice    

Lovely stay

This cottage is a perfect place for the whole family. It is such a cozy and welcoming place. The kitchen is fully stocked. There are lots  of places to sit and enjoy the views. The kids enjoyed fishing from the dock and using the Kayaks and SUPs. The deck and screened in porch were great places to eat our meals and play games. Thanks for helping to make it a perfect week.
