Holiday rentals with a kayak in Gatineau

Very nice cottage, not waterfront but only a few steps away. Limited view, but some may prefer being a bit more secluded. Otherwise very clean and well renovated.

Esther’s place was exactly as listed. We were in Ottawa for the weekend to attend d a wedding and the place worked out perfectly for us.

Location was perfect for us. Host communicated well. Had everything we needed.

This cabin was an absolute dream for our mothers' first visit to Canada! We were looking for something special, and this place exceeded all expectations. The location was ideal – a perfect blend of natural beauty and proximity to the city. What truly amazed us was how much more beautiful it was in person compared to the already great photos. The serene lake view, the perfectly stocked kitchen, and the immaculate cleanliness all contributed to an unforgettable stay. You can feel the warmth and care in every detail. The hosts were also fantastic, with quick and kind communication. They even helped us retrieve keys we'd accidentally left behind! We can't wait to return and highly recommend this incredible retreat.

If you are going out in that area and looking for a place to stay, highly recommend. Place is just as the pictures show. Very clean.

Everything was very nice and clean. The only thing is for such a nice place, the glasses were all in plastic…location was very nice. Also the heating was not consistent throughout the house (some rooms were cold while others were too hot)

Some places are just houses. Others hold space and pause. From the first moment we walked in, "The River Retreat" welcomed us like a warm hug. My siblings and I came here to honour the one-year anniversary of our mother’s passing, and it ended up being exactly what we needed. Peaceful, cozy, and full of thoughtful touches. Every room, view, and amenity gave us a chance to breathe, reflect, and spend quality family time together. We tried all the amenities, including the hot tub, canoe, kayaks, fire pit, and pool table. But our favourite pass time and location was definitely the home cooked meals around the round table overlooking the river. We left feeling full in every sense. Thank you Marlene and Morgan for being such fantastic hosts! We’ll absolutely be back.

Great location by the river. Peaceful minus the mosquitos. 10 mins from groceries and the sports complex.

I recently stayed at this charming Lake house, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the peaceful surroundings and cozy atmosphere. The cottage was clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated — the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern comfort. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and attentive, always available if I needed anything, but respectful of my privacy. Overall, I highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. It’s a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life — I’ll definitely be back!

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.

Beautiful place to relax. we did not go on the water but did use the hot tub. House main floor has an open concept which is nice for kids.

I had an absolutely rejuvenating stay in this beautiful chalet. The place is peaceful, surrounded by nature, with several comfortable and intimate spaces where you can really unwind. The rooms are well spaced from each other, allowing everyone to enjoy moments of calm and intimacy. Laura is a caring host and always available when needed, while respecting our tranquility. And what can we say about the lake... a true haven of peace. The water is clear, the landscape superb. It's a perfect place to reconnect with yourself or simply enjoy the silence. I leave rested, happy, and already nostalgic. I recommend this little corner of paradise without hesitation.

We used this house as a family base for a family wedding held nearby. Location was perfect for our needs and gave us enough space to all be together for multiple days. Very responsive host and easy check in!

It is a beautiful place and just like the pictures wonderful owners and were very open to our special needs. Open communications and they check in to see if there is anything else you need or if something is missing. Great location and private. We have referred this location to other members of our family and will look and see if it is available the next time we come this way

Location was great. The place was as described. We had a good time. Kevin was also very responsive and fixed a small issue for us quickly upon arrival. Would recommend

The cottage was exactly as pictured. Many different things to do at this location - from taking out the canoe to staying inside and playing games. Used this location for a family barbeque and everyone had a spot to sit and eat.

The cottage is amazing the location is v.good and it is private the view is amazing it was a great experience, I would come again Thank you Adam

Our long weekend at this charming cottage was nothing short of magical. Tucked away in a serene and tranquil location, the peaceful ambiance was a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cottage itself exuded warmth and character, adorned with delightful local decorations that truly captured the essence of the area. It felt like a home away from home, with every corner telling a unique story. One of the highlights was undoubtedly the picturesque view of the lake right in front of the cottage. Waking up to the gentle sounds of nature and the sight of the tranquil waters was a truly enchanting experience. But what truly set this experience apart was the host. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. Their responsiveness, kindness, and genuine hospitality made us feel incredibly welcome and valued.

This was our second stay at Kim and Scott's and we loved it again. Very private and peaceful cottage, right on the water. We brought out paddleboards and paddled the entire lake. Super cute place for two people.

It’s such an amazing getaway. The cottage was fully equipped and is amazing. It’s so worth it and we will definitely be back.

We stayed at La Belle Denis cabin and it was literally as presented in the picture. The cabin is warm in winter with hot water ! Perfect for a weekend gateway. We love the quietness in winter and the trail on the property. We hope to comeback in Summer to check out the lake! Shu

Vincent's cottage is superb, comfortable and tastefully decorated. It is well located in a very quiet environment. Our family stay was very relaxing in the heart of nature. We'll be happy to go back.

What a gem! Beautiful space, quiet and serene. The hosts made the space special, warm and inviting. Definitely worth the trip!

Pretty view of the Rideau River. Quiet spot to relax, take a stroll around the neighborhood. The kitchen had everything that was needed to cook. Comfy bed with a great view.
