Beachfront holiday rentals in Lanark County

David and his wife were wonderful hosts. They were very flexible with our last minute booking. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The cottage is well equipped,very clean, and very comfortable. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, and using David’s kayaks and stand up boards. We had a lot of fun using the new outdoor cedar sauna. We also enjoyed some of the lawns games they had available. We did a day trip to Westport which is an easy half hour away. I would definitely go back, it’s a wonderful place to unwind. Thanks so much for having us.

The cottage is located on a lovely bay - very close to the lakeside. It is very peaceful- listening to the call of the loons. Thank you very much to our friendly host for a great stay. The kitchen is very well equipped, with condiments, pots and pans, etc - nice barbecue on the deck.

A very Canadian cottage in gorgeous setting. Perfect for nature lovers and wildlife spotters.

We had a great time, beautiful weather for the outdoor activities. The cottage was comfy and the view from the screened in porch was great! Jen

Good and considerate host.

I am very grateful Micheal opened his home for others to stay, especially in this area, at this cost, and for the space he provides. His place is private, easy to access, and is cleaned often. Michael has always been accommodating and open to chatting or leaving you alone. I have always felt safe and knew that if I ever needed anything, he would do his best to do what he could to help. The yard is always well kept, snow plowed, and steps cleared and salted. I would recommend his place and enjoyed my stay here.

Good value, comfortable room and double bed for a couple of nights. Peaceful location, good area for lakes/paddling

What a peaceful and relaxing weekend we had at Ruby View. Jennifer’s pre visit contact and in weekend communication was top notch. The cottage was exactly as described and more. The cottage was beautifully appointed with so many thoughtful considerations inside from a kitchen thoroughly stocked with an appliance or tool for every need, comfortable towels, pillows and bedding and well positioned outdoor furniture and toys exactly where you’d want them. I found myself saying “we need to do this at our place” all weekend long. The beautiful sunsets and quiet bay suited our taste to a tee. If we’re ever in the area again we would love to come back. Thanks again for a lovely stay!

This cottage is just a perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors and the nature. The cottage is superb with a huge deck looking onto the lake with lots of room to comfortably dine outdoors, extra fridge in the shed for all the drinks, a fire pit just in front of the lake and many water toys to enjoy the lake. By the way the lake is very quite, clean, and is ideal for swimming. The cottage had everything you would need for a comfortable stay - it is fully equipped as described in the listing. The 5 bedrooms on the second level are super cozy with comfortable mattresses and plenty of pillows and extra blankets. The hosts were very nice, accommodating and very responsive to all of our inquiries. Overall, our family had a perfect stay and we wish we could have stayed longer, but hopefully we will come back again!

More than we could have asked for! Very responsive and gracious host! Perfect place for our family. The best vacation house we have ever frequented. Airy, peaceful, crystal clear lake, plenty of towels, water toys, and kitchen was very well stocked and included any type of tool or spice you might need.

We really enjoyed our extended stay here this winter. The cottage is much larger than we expected with two full bathrooms and two large bedrooms that are nicely separated, with a large kitchen space. The pool table provided extra fun for family and friends on cold snowy days. The views out to the river are lovely (even in the winter). The property was very quiet and private making for a relaxing and peaceful escape. The hosts were great to deal with, responded quickly and resolved any issues we had. Merrickville is a short drive away and a great spot to run for lunch or a few groceries. Highly recommend this property!

This is a lovely house in a beautiful location! Lots of things to do outside and fully equipped kitchen and large bedrooms inside. The only issue (and it's clearly stated in the description) but not having a washing machine was definitely a drawback. We enjoyed our time and could have stayed longer!

Beautiful spot on the water, with a perfect little area for the kids to wade into the lake. A dock for fishing, kayaks, and paddle boards. I love that there were kids size life jackets, made me much more comfortable with the kids playing in the water. Very cozy cottage and had everything we needed. I look forward to booking it again :)

My family had the pleasure of staying here for the first week in June 2025. We had a fabulous week enjoying this fabulous cottage and its surroundings. The inside offered us all the comfort and things we needed, including an awesome hot tub "tub" complete with rolled towels, clothes pegs and plastic glasses! Everything was exceptionally clean and there were lots of great books and games to keep us entertained as we lazed around the beautiful property. The kayaks and paddle boards were so much fun as we explored both directions on the river. Honestly the property was SO nice we hardly wanted to leave it but we did manage to get out a few days to visit Ottawa and the cute towns of Perth & Almonte. Two fabulous restaurants we visited and recommend is Joe's Italian Kitchen (In Almonte) and Michael's Table in Perth. It was so nice to be able to bring our dog Russ who had the BEST time all week enjoying the water, boats and watching the wild life from his little fur rug in sunny bay window.

Angela's place is great for a group getaway, she was helpful and easy to communicate with.

Chris was an excellent host, super friendly, very warm and welcoming with superb service. The attention to detail and making sure everything from top to bottom was ready for us instantly made us felt welcome and it was like a home away from home. It took the stress and worry away from checking in a more remote place and being worried that things may be missing or not in order. He really sets the standard for what being a cottage host should be! You won’t find a better host anywhere else. P.S Poppy is also an excellent host😉🐶

We stayed at this beautiful lakehouse over the May long weekend and had an amazing time! The home is spacious, stylish, and very well-equipped — exactly as described. The access to the lake was great, with equipment to kayak and paddleboard. There's tons of fun activities you can do with family and friends! The only downside was that the pool hadn’t been cleaned long enough in advance, so it wasn’t clear during our stay. We understand it can be tough to time with the seasonal transition, and Trish and her husband were very kind and responsive about it. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommend this place for a peaceful lakeside getaway!

My extended family and I spent the weekend at Forest's cottage for a family reunion and it was wonderful! The weather was terrible (for the majority of the time) but the cottage was so spacious and there was so much to do in the cottage itself, it didn't feel like we were missing out on the outdoors. There was something for everyone, from board games, to the tables in the basement, to the fishing and the play structure outside when the weather cooperated!! The house was also incredibly clean and lakefront view couldn't have been better - it really was worth the money! Forest was incredibly responsive and helpful leading up to the trip. Overall, this was a great trip! My family is already hoping to come back next year!
