Your Home Away From Home

Rideau Retreat is located on the Big Rideau Lake this cottage is the perfect area for snowshoeing, ice fishing, boating, walking, running, cycling, canoeing, kayaking, fishing.
This beautiful log home was built in 2014. It is a 1 hour and 15 minutes drive from Ottawa.
Enjoy beautiful family fires right on the water with your loved ones.
When I think about this home I think about having my morning coffee on the patio listening to the birds, watching the deer, and going for a morning kayak on the historical Big Rideau Lake.
