Family-friendly holiday rentals in Big Rideau Lake

We came here as a couple families together and rented out The Eagle. It was an amazing experience! Everyone enjoyed their time and there was something for everyone to do from young to old. We all really appreciated the view which was breathtaking at all times! Hot tub was a great bonus when tired from the long day of kayaking, biking, and playing volleyball. Marla is a great host and her place is a must if you plan on staying at any of the lakes in Ontario!

Great place to stay! Very peaceful, felt very remote and isolated but was only 10 mins from town.

Our group of ladies were excited to stay at SkySuite for a lovely weekend getaway in wine country! Saskia and Maarten have been very welcoming and always communicated with us in a polite and timely manner. SkySuite was presented to us in pristine condition, equipped with all of the amenities and supplies that you could need for a visit! It's a beautiful location in a private setting; we really enjoyed the hot tub under the stars and truly appreciated the accessibility features of SkySuite. The lakefront view from the property is truly unique for an Airbnb location, you will not be disappointed! Plenty of fresh towels, clean linens, and a lot of wonderful perks including a Nespresso machine! Saskia and Maarten were very accommodating and provided too notch hospitality, without any pressure and provided us with the space we all enjoyed. We will be recommending this property to others and would absolutely love to attend this property in the future for our visits to PEC!

Our stay was great and Fedora got back to us very quickly about any questions we had! Very great space and property, would definitely return :)

We had a great family week away at David’s place and as a host he was super helpful. The view from the window/hot-tub/deck was fantastic, shame we could not bring it home with us! The weather was not great for the week, meaning limited time on the lake. We did manage a day on a hired boat, the other days we went on day trips to local towns and Ottawa by train from Brockville. We also did a city cruise of 1000 islands and attended the annual 1000 islands rib fest. The house was well equipped with all we needed for a great family stay and a relaxing week. For a BBQ recommend a trip to “The Butcher Shop”.

We had a wonderful stay at Springwood Cottage Resort! Ed were amazing hosts—always attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The cottage had everything we needed, which made packing and settling in so much easier. One of the highlights was the access to paddleboards and kayaks—they were in excellent condition and it was such a treat not to have to transport our own. It’s the perfect spot for anyone who enjoys being on the water! We’d love to come back again, hopefully in warmer weather, to enjoy even more of what this lovely place has to offer. Thank you for making our stay so easy and memorable!

As a new Yorker coming into Canada and staying outside of Picton, this place was everything and than some. can't wait to come back for the next arm wrestling event but definitely will be reading to to jimmy for this property or any others in the area I'll be!

We had a great weekend stay! Josh’s place had lots to do and offered a great amount of space for board games and meals! Great location and very close to stores and the downtown core. Would highly reccomend!

This place was exactly as described and location is great. We came in a heat wave and ac worked well. Had to drop the temp to get upstairs where our baby was sleeping cold enough but it didn't take long for that to happen. The primary bedroom was comfortable, but we both found the bed in the bedroom directly across from the primary wasn't too comfortable. woke up with back pain the night I slept in this one. we didn't use the 3rd bed so can't comment. we didn't use the sandbanks passes (too hot) but I assume that's a nice bonus. would still stay here again!

Phyllis, & her daughter Jennifer, went above & beyond to make us, our 6yo & 12yo, and our crazy Bernedoodle feel very welcome. They seemed very happy to have us, and even offered us many of their personal things and private areas on their property to enjoy. Unique & beautiful surroundings that push you to relax, with a cozy/charming/glamping-style accommodation that makes you feel at home.

Excellent accommodation!!-- Not only is the place charming and well furnished, the amenities and attention to detail is superb! The host is incredibly friendly but also provides privacy, the instructions are clear and concise, and the inclusion of the Parks Pass is such a perk! Walking distance to downtown shopping, beaches, historic sites, and nightlife. Well worth the trip.

We had the most amazing time and made a lifetime of memories!

We had the best time! Gorgeous location, perfect weather and super accommodations! Thank you Shawn!

Fabulous location, across from the lake, 20 min walk into town or a very short car ride! Amazing wineries, restos, and cafes close by!

I had a lovely time, the apartment was cozy, the nearby dog park was great, and the hosts were great!

Our stay at the Robin's Nest was a perfect getaway for my husband and I. We enjoyed the quaint rustic cabin and stayed cozy with the woodstove. The wood-fired sauna and cold plunge tub were a real treat! We look forward to staying here again.

This was the perfect addition to my wedding weekend! Julie made it extra special with a welcome sign and bottle of champagne to great my guests and I! The place is absolutely stunning, so warm, cozy and just what we needed for a wedding stay with the bridal party. It surpassed my expectations and Julie and her partner were wonderful - we even had a tour and learned some history on the place. Can’t wait to come back !

Very spacious comfortable accommodation. No easy place to go for a walk other than the main road, and driving required for food and drink.

The house was very beautiful and the environment very quiet. Everything is well equipped and well appointed. The only small thing that displeased us a little was that there was hair in one of the beds when we arrived. The dishes were also sometimes dirty, but I think it's the responsibility of the former tenants. The location is great, close to amenities.

We had a lovely stay with our 3 kids. The pool was the perfect temperature and there were clear instructions on how to work everything! we enjoyed being slightly tucked away while still only being a 5-8 min drive from stores/restaurants.

We were celebrating my husband’s 65th birthday with our children and grandchildren. It was a lovely weekend being together in beautiful surroundings. We loved eating our meals in the outdoor room and being able to enjoy the view and sitting by the fire every night. There is a pool that isn’t heated so it was cold but I’m sure with the hot weather approaching it will heat up nicely.

We stayed here with my sister and our school aged children. They LOVED the pool. Had some trouble getting the heat on but Patricia helped us out and was very responsive. I love Orleans, it’s pretty and quiet - it has everything you would need expect if you want something in particular in central Ottawa- it’s 30-40 min away. Overall would recommend highly for families.

Awesome stay! Scott was easy to communicate with and it was clean and as described

We had a beautiful weekend. It is a beautiful and peaceful place. The beds were comfortable and it was very clean. I would book it again. They were also very accommodating for me and my guests. The dogs are super friendly and very cute.
