Relaxing week by the lake
We had a week at Erika's cottage this fall and it was absolutely lovely. The cottage is beautiful, comfortable, spacious, the location is stunning, and the screened in porch was an absolute added bonus. We were also really delighted we could bring our cat with us, and that the screened in porch was there so she could safely enjoy the location too :-) All of the instructions, access, setup, and process for the cottage was clear and easy. Erika makes the experience seamless for guests to enjoy their time away.

Awesome traditional cottage in Great Lake location!
Cottage was amazing - very well maintained, "traditional" feel to it (original fittings, kitchen etc.). Front screened porch was our favourite place to relax, with an excellent view of the lake. New dock was a great place for morning coffee, and bbq on the side deck with a lake view was also a nice touch. Views from nearly all windows, including master bedroom. Host Erika was very helpful and accommodating. Would recommend to anyone for a cozy lake-side stay.

Fantastic fall getaway location
The cottage was nice a cozy, convenient to get to, around a beautiful area of Ontario and on a fantastic lake. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The property owner was very friendly and communicated everything that we needed to know for our arrival, stay and departure. The surroundings had beautiful fall colours everywhere, and the floating dock was a wonderful location to fish and to read a book. Very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Rideau lakes cottage
We arrived after a long drive, access was easy and the cottage had everything we needed. I very much appreciated being able to take my 2 dogs. 1 of our party saw a black bear on her way out early 1 morning. Stores and restaurants were very convenient and all in all we had a great week. Erika was super responsive when I reached out . Definitely would recommend

Well-stocked and organised
My husband and I spent the last few days of May, beginning of June at this lovely cottage. Beware if you have mobility issues as there are close to 40 steps down to the lakeside dock. Erika has all the cupboards labeled, so no trouble locating kitchen supplies. When we had rain days, there were tons of boards games to keep us busy. Even watched Nadal beat Djokovic at the French Open on cable TV! Erika is a lovely host who will bend over backwards to help her guests. Only drawback for me was housekeeping. It is lackadaisical, but I'm a clean freak., so not up to my usual standards.

Big Rideau Lake Cottage
We had a lovely relaxing week. Took advantage of nearby Rideau Lakes Golf Course, Scheuermann Winery and the Tangled Garden Restaurant in Westport. The cottage was very comfortable, swimming was great and the location very easy to get to. Everything we were looking for!

Well equipped family cottage.
Overall great week with lots of wildlife sightings (deer, loons, chipmunks and a mink), great fire pit on the patio and close to charming small towns to explore. Foley Lake Conservation area nearby has excellent hiking trails including a short and easy walk to an amazing view over Westport. Lake was slightly weedy, so swimming wasn't superb, but still good. Very well equipped kitchen with everything you could need, and a nice big frig. Lots of chairs and loungers for relaxing on the patio or the dock. Great selection of games and books. All you need for a fun and relaxing week.

Relaxing Cottage on the lake
Perfect for a hot summer day with refreshing swim on clean lake. For those people looking for a luxury resort experience, look elsewhere. This is a true cottage experience. Perfect.
