We had such a wonderful experience. Our host Meghan was always quickly available and provided all the information we needed for a trouble free stay. The cottage is lovely and is the perfect place for both winter or summer getaways.

This vacation rental was an absolute delight, exceeding every expectation with thoughtful touches like a welcome gift of wine and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The host stands out as the best we've encountered—attentive, welcoming, and ensuring a seamless stay. Everything one could need was readily available on-site, from a fully equipped kitchen to ample amenities, making it unnecessary to leave the property.

We had a great stay and loved the house and location

Quiet & Private: Ideal location for exploring Ottawa ON (try Union Street Kitchen's croissants before a guided tour of Rideau Hall). Also, just a short drive & quick border-crossing to the Frederick Remington Museum (western art & sculpture) in Ogdensburg NY. Local recommendations include the lamb rosemary meat pies made at B&H Grocery and the Tip-to-Tip trail, an easy 3-mile canal hike in Burritt’s Rapids. Many thanks to our exemplary hosts who quickly resolved any minor issues.
