About this cottage rental
Unique, hand-crafted Scandinavian-style log home nestled in a private bay on spectacular Cranberry Lake on the Rideau Lakes System, a UNESCO World Heritage site. 4,000 square feet of living space offers spacious, executive accommodation.
More than 1,000 feet of waterfront and 20 acres of hardwood forest. Superb bass and pike fishing, canoeing, swimming, boating, hiking, and mountain biking. In winter, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and skating on the lake are available.
Picturesque Stafford Bay has a wild and natural shoreline. A beaver lodge can be seen in the bay and you may spot painted turtles, herons, frogs and iconic Canadian loons among the lily pads. Swimming is wonderful in the warm waters off our private swim platform. A small island dots the bay for children to explore. This family-owned cottage is all about nature.

Your place is beautiful with soooo much room we sure appreciated the kitchen table to seat all of us together. We had a wonderful time thank you!

The home itself is a beautiful and cozy log home with incredible craftsmanship. Kitchen was amazing for preparing meals! The property had the most nature I’ve experienced at a cottage in Canada with several beavers in their lodge near the dock, turtles, deer, herons, and great fishing. Would absolutely recommend staying here. Additionally there is a gas/tackle/convenience store a short paddle away in Seeley’s bay. It is clear just how much care has been put into this home over the years. This is truly a special place!

The cabin was excellent and very clean,very well equipped, lots of room for the family to spread out and the beds were very comfortable except the one upstairs at the front the mattress sages to the middle. There was no grate in the fireplace

Our stay at this cottage was absolutely amazing! The space was beautiful and felt incredibly comfortable for our two families of four. It's clear the owners put a lot of thought into the details; the cottage was super clean and well-appointed, with a great little games room that kept everyone entertained. The kitchen was a dream to cook in, especially with the two sinks.We appreciated the thoughtfulness of having kayaks and a paddleboard available for our use. We discovered the water right off the dock was a little swampy, so we just took the provided watercraft out to a dock in the middle of the bay to swim. It was a great workaround and an unforgettable experience.The host was fantastic and easy to communicate with. We can't wait to stay here again!
