Vacation 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.

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.

This was simply breathtaking. My guests and I could not believe how amazing the sights were from the cabin. Even though the lake was frozen, it was still a wonderful things to experience and see. All they could ask was how I was able to find something that beautiful. I’m definitely looking forward to going back. I wish we had places like this in the US.

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.

Super week-end au chalet de Gilles ! Un hôte tellement sympathique . L’endroit est merveilleux et super propre . Le lit dans les chambre des maître est ultra confortable. Le paysage est a couper le souffle. Nous y retourneront assurément 🙂

J’ai passé un séjour absolument ressourçant dans ce magnifique chalet. L’endroit est paisible, entouré de nature, avec plusieurs espaces confortables et intimes où l’on peut vraiment décrocher. Les chambres sont bien espacées les unes des autres, ce qui permet à chacun de profiter de moments de calme et d’intimité. Laura est une hôte attentionnée et toujours disponible en cas de besoin, tout en respectant notre tranquillité. Et que dire du lac… un véritable havre de paix. L’eau est claire, le paysage superbe. C’est un endroit parfait pour se reconnecter avec soi-même ou simplement savourer le silence. Je repars reposée, heureuse, et déjà nostalgique. Je recommande ce petit coin de paradis sans hésiter.

Wow. The views of the lake from from this place are absolutely stunning! We had a great time and were very comfortable here. We loved the hot tub and the kayaks and paddle boards that were provided for use on the lake. I would definitely stay here again if I was looking for a tranquil place near Ottawa.

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 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.

Un chalet magnifique , très bien équipé . Tout y est pour passer d’excellents moments entre amis ( barbecue, canoës , jeux … )

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

Le chalet de Vincent est superbe, confortable et decoré avec goût. Il est bien situé dans un environnement très calme. Notre sejour en famille fut très reposant au coeur de la nature. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.

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.
