About this chalet rental

Summary:

This glorious escape on the Upper Rideau is quiet, relaxing, and incredibly private located back from the water and surrounded by woods. Venture down to the dock to swim, lounge, or watch boats go by. Dogs are welcome but should be leashed by dusk to avoid meeting skunks or porcupines who frequent the area.



The Space:

Shoot a game of pool, watch Netflix on our 65" flat screen TV, or unwind in the hot tub while the crickets serenade you. Walk along our natural rock wall, which was painstakingly revealed after a year of hard work by the previous owners. A variety of colourful birdhouses and extensive gardens complete the beauty of the backyard space.



6 can sleep comfortably in 2 king beds and 1 queen bed. Two full bathrooms (one with stand up shower and one with soaker tub) for ease of getting ready or showering off after a lake dip.

Property was very clean, kitchen well-stocked. The hot tub was fantastic and easily accessible. Loved the welcoming touches like the wine and snacks. The beds were super comfortable. Getting to see and feed the deer was so much fun.

I booked this space for close friends and family to celebrate my birthday. We enjoyed the comfortable spaces, beds, the hot tub, pool table, camp/stove fires, and the BBQ. The space was immaculate when we arrived and our hosts had everything ready and available for us. It’s the most pleasant experience I have had with a property rental and I am so grateful. On top of everything else, the highlight of the property is how nestled in nature it feels, surrounded by deer, birds and other small wildlife who made the trip even better. Thank you!
