Holiday rentals with a kayak in Ottawa River

The house is really beautiful. You wake up every morning in the middle of pure nature. It’s a unique place. Lots of fun things included in the house. We had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend if you wanna spend a family vacation. It’s the perfect place to spend a lot of time in.

The rental place is clean and well organized. Nina is quick to respond. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place in the area.

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.

Loubna has a beautiful place and she communicates really well. It is a very clean space and we had everything we needed. The lake is amazing but full of bugs and mosquitos !! Plan some repellent or you wont be able to enjoy properly. It was a great bubble of peace

really lovely location on the lake. well equipped place. the vies of the lake is incredible. we took the canoe out in the evening and the morning and was just amazing! definitely recommend it to get away from the hustle and bustle

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable et confortable dans ce chalet, situé au bord d’un magnifique lac, calme et paisible. L’accès privé au lac, ainsi que les kayaks mis à disposition sont un vrai plus. Jean-François a été très réactif et les instructions pour l’arrivée et le départ étaient claires et simples. Le chalet est parfaitement équipé pour quelques jours de détente. Emplacement, équipements, propreté : tout était parfait. Je recommande sans hésiter !

We had a lovely getaway. The location is very convenient, close to the city but secluded and peaceful! Our kids loved it and hope to return soon with the whole family. Thank you!

Had a fantastic stay here! Looked exactly like the photos and had everything we needed. Christina was an excellent host, very quick responses and made sure we had everything we needed. Gorgeous property on a gorgeous lake. Would definitely stay here again.

Had a great 3-day, 2-night cottage stay! The property was just as described—clean, peaceful, and well-equipped for a relaxing getaway. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, but everything else made up for it. Would definitely recommend!

The cottage was very clean, and had everything needed to make you feel right at home. Attention was paid to every little detail. This cottage was absolutely beautiful and I would rent it again in a heartbeat! Scott has been wonderful to deal with, he is very communicative and easy to talk to.

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!

This is a beautiful cottage. The lake access is the real highlight and the hosts have really leaned into this providing lots of opportunities for water recreation, including a good sized dock, multiple kinds of boats (kayaks, a canoe, a peddle boat, and paddle boards), and a large floaty that acts as a second dock. Speakers at the waters edge were a nice touch! The hosts were also great. Very responsive and friendly, and proactively reached out to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The cottage itself isn’t huge if you plan to spend the majority of your time inside, but this wasn’t an issue for us as we spent the majority of our time by the water. It was big enough to fit 10 around the dining table for meals and games. All in all, it was a great experience.

Had a great weekend away at the cottage, with a well-equipped kitchen and a beautiful yard right on the river.

Amazing stays! Christine and Kandasamy gave us very detailed instructions and were super helpful. We were really enjoying out stay at the cottage, it just the weather was raining hard so we couldn’t enjoy much of outdoor activities. Definitely will come back =)

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.

Super séjour au lac, paysage magnifique, et tout était pensé au détail dans la maison. Beaucoup d’équipements pour s’occuper. Ashley répondait à la minute et tout était prévu pour une bonne arrivée et un bon séjour. C’était parfait!

Very cozy cabin. Has everything you could need, all what you have to bring is your clothings. We even had the chance to taste their homemade maple syrup! Close enough to Bancroft but still tranquil, nobody can access the cabin but you. We saw people stopping by on the otherside of the lake but it feels OK and not invading, it is far enough to not care. Wildlife was abundant. We did not have much mosquitoes or annoying bugs outside and literally none inside. We went there as a couple with a dog and, once used to the space the cabin offers, did not feel squeezed, although it is not huge. Hosts were very kind and responsive. If you like small, serene and cozy places, this is a must try.

My second time visiting Boldairpur, and just as wonderful as the first. The tiny homes are always spotlessly clean and are equipped with anything you’d need. Everyone is so welcoming, including Leeloo and the cats. The location is perfect and having access to a clean bathroom generously equipped with towels is a bonus. The highlight of our stay was being accompanied on an hour walk by the orange and tortoise shell kittens who are the best of friends and straight out of a story book. Thank you to all the residents and Josée for the friendly greeting. We’ll be back soon!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this sweet rustic cabin to catch up with an old friend, and it was an experience to remember. Nestled near the maskinongé river, the cabin offered the perfect blend of tranquility and charm with its warmly lit outdoor seating area and hot tub, which was undoubtedly a highlight of our stay. Soaking in the warm water while gazing at the stars made for a nice appreciation of the present moment. The cabin itself was cozy and well-equipped, featuring a teleprompter. Going through old DVDs and using the screen was a blast. The many vintage architecture magazines scattered around the cabin also made for interesting reads, and really added to the warm feel of the place. Overall, this cabin is a gem for anyone looking to unwind and disconnect to enjoy nature's beauty. Highly recommended!

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.

Un séjour parfait dans un cadre enchanteur! Le chalet en bois rond est magnifique, baigné de lumière grâce à une fenestration abondante. Le calme des lieux, le foyer intérieur, les animaux qui se promènent librement autour… tout était réuni pour un ressourcement total. On a même gratté un peu de guitare au coin du feu — un moment magique. On repart le cœur léger et rempli de belles énergies. Merci pour cette belle escapade!

Great private cabin, the bbq didn’t light and they came right away and got it working for us. Had to leave unfortunately early due to a pet emergency but we will definitely be back!

Great rustic place to unwind and enjoy the outdoors. Reminded me of my childhood family cottage. It was private and had everything one needs in a semi offgrid location. Bill was prompt, accommodating and friendly. Bring more firewood than you'll think you'll need! Thanks again, Bill!

I highly recommend the Lake House in Dorset/Raven Shores. This cottage was perfectly situated and close to scenic attractions and many trails. The property was picturesque morning, noon, and night. The perfect spot with easy access to the lake. Their customer service and attention to detail is second to none, exceeding my expectations every time. The hosts were readily available and responded quickly. The cottage was warm and Cozy "just like home." It was equipped with everything a family would need and more. We would stay again.
