Cottage holiday rentals in Ottawa River

We really enjoyed our stay at Dock Cottage. It was modern elegance mixed with warm vintage touches. It had everything we needed to make our stay really comfortable and we loved the dock, hot tub and kayaking on the lake. It was quiet and peaceful and felt far away from everything yet we were an easy walk from Miss Nelle’s coffee shop and ice cream stand where we went each morning for a coffee (opens at 7am), Muskoka Brewing Company for a beer and a few other Baysville shops. The communication and instructions were really helpful and we received prompt replies if we had a question so it felt like we were really taken care of. We will definitely be back and recommend it to friends.

We had a really nice stay at Nadia and John's cottage. The deck was fantastic, and the cottage was really clean and comfortable. The week went by too quickly.

We had a fantastic weekend getaway, and loved that we could bring the pups with us! The hot tub and pizza oven were amazing, and the outdoor set up was beyond what we anticipated- games and multiple seating areas! We will definitely be going back!

Thank you for an excellent weekend! My friends and I stayed at Foad’s cottage and it was beautiful! We enjoyed the hot tub and game room very much. Foad was always very quick to respond and the description of the property was very accurate. I recommend Foad’s cottage to all! Thanks again!

Our group had a wonderful stay at the cottage! Cassidy was very communicative and the amenities were top notch - we enjoyed the lakefront view, kayak, sauna and hot tub. Fresh towels and laundry within the cottage made everything super convenient. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

My friends and I had a wonderful time at Marcin’s place. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, great for larger groups or families looking for a quiet get away. We hardly saw anyone else on our stay and were within walking distance of some nice small trails. Highly recommend!

This was my second time at Rebecca's place. As always it was clean, well stocked, and so incredibly peaceful. You cannot beat the views and the walk out sandy beach. I always feel right at home there. The beds are so comfy, the couch is nap worthy, and I could sit outside in an Adirondack chair and read all day long. Thank you Rebecca for the lovely accommodations. Highly recommend!

It was a great place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Having a hot tub and fire pit by the water was great.

Jessica was wonderful, and her place is absolutely charming—cozy, cute, and beautifully surrounded by nature. Grateful for the experience and would happily book again!

We had a great stay at Jonathan’s place! Everything was just as described, Jonathan was quick to respond all of our questions. The kitchen amenities were top notch, it had everything we needed to prepare all of our meals. We also really enjoyed the new bbq grill. The location was easy to find. The house has an amazing view of the lake, which is great for swimming and kayaking. I’d definitely recommend Jonathan’s place!

Host allowed us to check in early way ahead of usual check in time which was great. Had an extra full day to enjoy the cabin right by the lake with private beach access and lots of gear provided by the host (Kajak, Kanu, Boat etc.). Cozy little campsite with fire pit and chairs. Great view of the lake and fall colours. Very quiet despite neighbours to the right and left. Vast selection of DVDs for movie night. Short car trip to supermarkets in Huntsville. Had a great time and would definitely recommend it. Easily accommodates 4 adults.

Excellent place to relax and spend time with the family in nature. The host is very friendly and very helpful if you have any questions. We'll see you again.

Lovely stay for our short time in Golden Lake. Clean and well equipped with beautiful views of the lake. Highly recommend for others.

We had such a wonderful time staying at Rowan Cottage! It was my husband and I with our little Boston Terrier and everything was perfect! The place was spotless when we got there and the instructions to check in were very easy to navigate. The place felt brand new. It was just the right amount of space for us. It is a fairly private area and the waters were very peaceful, not a lot of traffic on the water at all! The views from the cottage were amazing - perfect for the morning coffee! Appliances were great, and the washroom was so clean. There were awesome board games and vinyl records to jam to. As well as a Bluetooth speaker to connect. We were never bored! For anyone looking to visit, there are a fair bit of mosquitos so remember bug spray! Overall an amazing experience and highly recommend!

This was our fourth stay and it felt like home. Always love coming back and even though the weather wasn’t great, there was plenty to do with the sauna, records, VHS tapes and games.

We stayed at Magdalena & Hubert's Brownie A Cottage during the Victoria long weekend. The hosts were amazing, communicative, and responsive throughout. The cottage was peaceful, clean, and had a fully equipped kitchen. I would recommend staying here for anyone interested!

This place was everything we wanted and more. Beautiful scenery, cozy place, private and quiet. The host was very easy to reach and very helpful. We had a small little problem upon our arrival about a breaker fuse being tripped. She promptly replied and help us resolve the issue and was quick to offer additional assistance if we need be. Our kids enjoyed the play structure, pedalboat and swimming in the private lake. I would highly recommend this place.

Not only was the cottage & property absolutely breathtaking, Kimberly was great at responding to any questions I had leading up to our trip and gave us a great tip on navigating the drive up. She also provided a variety of basic condiments, spices, all the bath towels, and kitchen utensils you would need so we were really able to feel comfortable and make this place feel like home away from home for the weekend. They also provided clear, fool-proof instructions on starting up the sauna and indoor fireplace. Would 100% recommend to others & book again for myself! Thank you Kimberly!

My friends and I had the best weekend getaway here! The A-frame was absolutely beautiful and very clean. The surrounding forest was so peaceful and there was a small beach a short walk away. Amanda was a perfect host, very kind, friendly and helped us feel right at home. We will definitely be back!!!

Slice of paradise. Really enjoyed our stay at Le Monarque. Myself and my husband (in our 30’s) and our dog were looking for a peaceful, private escape from city life. The rental was just as described and we had a wonderful time. Would recommend for any travellers looking to get a taste of the outdoors.

I had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I really enjoyed the amenities — everything was well thought out and made my visit even more enjoyable. Would definitely stay again!

This was our 3rd time staying at Jennifer and Tom's beautiful cottage. It is a great location for day trips to Ottawa yet secluded enough to just relax. Fantastic hosts and lots of personal touches. Highly recommend.

We stayed over Easter weekend and enjoyed the peace and coziness of the cabin. It’s like a warm hug! We enjoyed some hiking at the nearby rapids and the provincial park close by. It’s a wonderful place to relax in any season and although there is another rentable cabin just in front, we felt secluded and had our own fire pit and bbq etc. the only thing we found to be missing was some shower products which would be a nice touch.

Our stay was outstanding. Very quiet and the lake view was amazing.
