The space:
We're offering our family cottage (aka "The Beacon") for rent. The Beacon is a waterfront log house that's fully equipped to comfortably host up to 8 guests so it's perfect for 2 families or a group of friends who want a magical place to recharge, relax, reunite or work remotely.

Surrounded by nature, this family-friendly log home provides a quiet getaway from city bustle, yet only 1hr from Ottawa.

Enjoy deep breaths of fresh air and stunning views of Pontiac Bay from the large private deck. Relish quality time swimming, fishing, hiking, star-gazing, canoeing, or kayaking.

During the winter enjoy snowshoeing or skating!

Kids will enjoy the treehouse with slide, monkey bars, floating dock, sandy beach, green lawn space for soccer and games, and a variety of childrens’ books. As my son says, "this place is a slice of heaven".

A beautiful cottage. Everything we needed for a fall retreat. So comfortable and luxurious. The view of the Ottawa river and the evening sky were just fantastic. We enjoyed access to a beautiful cottage trail and the peace and quiet. We love this place and are planning our return. Many thanks to the host.
