About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Just a fishing cabin in the woods...

But it is on a quiet point on beautiful Big Rideau Lake, part of the historic Rideau Canal system, where the fishing runs 24/7! Insulated, cozy, lots of space for kids to play. Dock space for one boat, and a canoe included. This is a paddler's paradise, and a true nature-lover's getaway. Two bedrooms, bathroom with tub. On a quiet cottage road 5 minutes to Portland, and just an hour's drive to Kingston or Ottawa. Pet friendly.

This is a sweet little cottage, it's all you need. Liz went out of her way to ensure it was clean and provided all of the essentials. The kitchen is fully equipped. Centrally located to so many fun things to do. The fishing was great, Pike, Bass & perch. We walked the Cataraqui trail near Chaffey's Lock, We visited Foley Mountain Conservation area and hiked to Spy Rock to get an amazing view. The trails are amazing. What a beautiful area!

Quaint private cottage

Simple, clean and fully equipped cottage perfect for bass opening weekend on the Big Rideau. Tighter squeeze for our 19ft Nitro and Denali to turn around so best for smaller boats if you are bringing your own . Fans are great but no AC, just to know in case someone absolutely needs it. We would highly recommend for a couples get away .

Cozy Fishing Cabin in the Woods

A comfortable and cozy cottage. Lots of light in the interior and the back deck is more spacious then you might expected from photos. Well appointed kitchen and nice new BBQ. Great area for exploring, especially if you like history and the outdoors.
